The Bill Brasky sketch might be the greatest SNL bit of all time. Four drunk guys, sitting at a bar, reveling about a 10-foot-tall beast man who showers in vodka and feeds his babies shrimp scampi. Its true genius is in the one-upmanship of the sad, drunk men who idolize a horrible human being like Brasky.

Couple of repeats there, McGannon.
#32. Yes.
I’m wearing a di-a-per!
Had to revisit this and it is still fantastic.
23. “Brasky’s semen can form into a liquid human – like the guy from ‘Terminator 2′”
This really should have been ranked higher. This is the only one that made me lose my shit.
I like #63. Not so much #59.
Hey McGannon did I ever tell you I could predict the future? Well it is safe to say that you made your last good column for this now barren wasteland and like all of your other good material not a shred of it was original. See that’s the difference between you and me Don’t worry though ever heard the expression editors are copiers? I’ll be on your tv in 10 years and maybe if you haven’t drank yourself to death by then reminiscing about that one time you and the “boys” met Shooter McGavin maybe I’ll throw a pitty job your way. I sure hope minimum wage is $20 by then. Have a nice life you unjustifiably elitist failed Internet comic.
