Actually, if you were alive during the period from 1975 to about 1980 and were old enough to remember SNL with its original cast...
...you would remember rolling on the floor, laughing so hard that your guts hurt. THAT was classic comedy; and SNL has never been the same since those folks went their separate ways.
One of my favorite skits from 1976: Dan Aykroyd and Gilda Radner selling the "Bass-O-Matic '76".

Ah... the seventies. Those were the days.
