My personal favortie is from season 1 the one where Jim Carey gets hypnotised and then the guy dies and Jim Carey is stuck talking like a chicken
*Do you know what it feels like being alone? I'll find someone new**AAR*
my favorite sketches come from the music video episode.
Tommy Davidson as MC Hammer and Michael Jackson
and my all time favorite Kim Wayans as Crystal Waters

I liked the one where David Alan Grier played the sidekick in a cop movie, but the hero cop dies, so he takes over. Can't remember the name of the skit though.
shareIn season 3, "Misery 2" with Rick James... freakin' hilarious!!
Also, the parody of Silence of the Lambs, but with the guy who uses big, made-up words (played by Damon) replacing Hannibal Lector. Kellie Coffield's impression of Jodie Foster is AMAZING. Seriously, she shows her acting ability in this one. She is spot on, from the voice, to the choice of words, to the body language. At the end of this skit, Shawn Wayans smashes a cream pie or something like that (vanilla pudding?) into her face, parodying Miggs from Silence of the Lambs. His line "I can smell your feet!" is so freakin funny, you can even see Shawn start to crack up right as the scene is cut. Classic.
I would say it is a tie between the Fire Marshal skit and Men on Film.
"My name is a killing word."
My favorite sketch is "Funky Finger Productions".
Almost everything on the show is great, but this has GOT to be the best.
I am 25 now, and used to watch the show religiously when i was a kid. This sketch has really stood the test of time.

I will mention ones no one else did. When Tommy Davidson and Jamie Foxx are securtiy guards. I like the one where they are gonna fight Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Jamie puts Tommy on his shoulders and starts swinging at him. Snuff and Roam with Shawn and Marlon. "I am gonna go Michael Jackson on him. I am gonna go after him and rearrange his face and knock the black off of him." "No i am gonna go Milli Vanilli on him. I am gonna fake beating him up and get someone more talented to do it for me." I know this one was mentioned but the Disfunctional Home Show. I love the one when Jack is talking about his wife leaving him "She started hanging out with her high-society friends and all of a sudden she couldnt take a punch anymore."
shareHas anyone mentioned I Love Laquita?
"Too Too Ethnic"
Handi Man?
And the skit with David Alan Grier and one of the female leads (Kim Wayans maybe)--where they played an Ashford & Simpson-like duo.
"Twinkle....twinkle...ittle star...how I wonder...WHERE YOU BEEN?!" LOL
Dude means nice guy. Dude means a regular sort of person.
Arsenio Hall interviewing Marion Berry (probably my all time favorite)
The Dirty Dozens
Homie the Clown
Anything with Mike Tyson (Love Connection, 3 Champs and a Baby/Little Lady, Late Night with Mike Tyson)
Entourage - Best Show on TV
Dirty Dozens, Fire Marshal Bill, Men on Film, Oswald Bates, Prison Cable Network, Wanda, Ross Perot, Calhoun Tubbs
Was Michael Wolff really at the end of the Arsenio Hall & Marion Berry sketch, or was it someone playing him? In real life, he has 2 sons named Nat & Alex who are in the Naked Brothers Band.
"Arsenio Hall interviewing Marion Berry (probably my all time favorite)"
I love it! That and Arsenio's Just Say No sketch.
Other favorites:
Cephus and Reesie
Magenta Thompson
Oswald Bates - Probably my favorite character of them all.
The Evangelists (Damon and Jim)
Environmental Guy - I've seen it a million times and still laugh as if I'm watching it for the first time.
Grace Jones
Funky Finger Productions
Ms. Black Person USA and the Black People Awards
Mr. Ugly Man
Go on, Girl!
So many with Jim (Edward James Olmos, Geraldo, the Juice Guy).
Jim, Kim, and DAG are my favorite cast members.
too many to choose from. mc hammer when he's dancing and his pants rise up higher and higher until they over take him! ha ha ha ha! then jamie fox when he keeps putting pounds and pounds of vaseline on his scary puckered up mouth. or damon wayans as the head detective.
shareI also forgot Richard Pryor - "Scared for No Reason". I rewatched it about a week ago and fell off the couch laughing.
Californication - Best Show on TV
Anton Jackson, Fire Marshall, Oswald Bates, Kung Fu teacher (Jim Carrey), Home Boy Shopping Network, Star Trek parodies, Hey Mon, Background guy and Win, Lose Or Draw etc,
Mo' Money Mo' Money! :D
Well, my favorite recurring character was UNQUESTIONABLY Fire Marshal Bill, without a doubt...
A ONE TIME sketch is VERY hard to pick. There were MANY good ones. My favorite ONE TIME sketch is PROBABLY also a Jim Carrey sketch-The "Bang For Your Bucks Seminar", the parody of Joey Buttafuoco and Amy Fisher. It was HILARIOUS...
"JOEY BUTTAFUOCO OVAH HEEYA!!!"...*LOL*...
In fact, here it is...Heh, heh...

Anything with Oswald Bates. I used to act out that sketch all of the time as a kid, including the wide eyes.
The Buttmans.
Wanda and Tommy Davidson on the blind date 'She looks like a damn jackal!' and 'Well somebody needs to flip her ugly ass inside out.'
Wanda and En Vogue singing never gonna get it and Wanda starts barking. Classic.
Kelly Coffield as Sam Kinison, Andrea Dice Clay, Woody Allen, Sinead O'Connor, and the 'Johnny' skits. She is extremely talented, and sadly overlooked. I've never seen a female have that range of impersonations.
Keenan as Arsenio Hall with that huge butt and extra long finger.
David Alan Grier as the inmate 'Big breasteses, I gotta have em!'
The 'We are the world/Save our careers' sketch with a bunch of washed up stars where David says as Ray Charles 'Are we here to raise money for the starvin children of ACIFRA again?'
Frenchie
Little Magic
Kim Wayans as that really perverted old lady that would french kiss and hump everyone.
And of couese Homey D Clown being invited to Chez Whitey.
I forgot about that one - that was a classic...
As was the Vortex II skit... a gross but hilarious take on a certain type of product that always used blue water to show how absorbent it was...
Ditto for the Lassie 90 skits, Little Richard skits, and others... it's amazing what skits hold up perfectly and which ones have dated badly... few are in the latter category, which is remarkable...
I love the one from Season 1 Richard Pryor "scared for no reason" and the "stay in school" skit where Damon Wayans is playing Farkan.
Jim Carrey as Background Guy, Men On Film, Jamie Foxx as Wanda, Jim Carrey Karate Instructor/Self Defense Class
Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?
