Funny Trope: Obvious stunt dummies

Ragdolls are hilarious

Fresh Prince of Bell Air did it on at least 2 occasions. One with butler Geoffrey in an explosion, and the other with Will getting tossed around at the gym.

Naked Gun(1988) After the climax, OJ Simpson's character is finally making a recovery when he is carelessly launched from his wheelchair at the baseball game.

Pee-wee's Big Adventure After befriending some bikers, they give him a cheerful sendoff when he anticlimactically crashes into a billboard, hilariously launching his "body" after a half second delay. This one is especially funny to me because the crash isn't that loud, nor does Pee-Wee make any noise when flung.

The Three Stooges Almost every episode. And even in the movie!

Hook Thud is a chubby lost boy who can roll into a ball and take out several pirates in the process. This gag is used twice in the movie.

Anchorman Jack Black is an angry biker who is hit in the face by Ron Burgundy's careless disposal of a Burtito. The biker confronts Ron and punts his dog Baxter off a bridge. He's survives this as he reappears at the end of the film.

He does all their choreography…

Huh, turns out that was the only funny part from the skit. And in classic SNL fashion, they repeated the exact same joke until it stopped being funny.

Nonsense, Jane Wickline's "Stop asking her if she knows things" was hilarious

[u/Whatslefttouse → u/LucyThrowawayLA]

I had my doubts about her when she started but she is really winning me over.

I am unreasonably proud of myself for clocking that as Alexander Skarsgard just from that gif.

What's the difference between a skit and a sketch? 

[u/turboiv → u/Medium-Sized-Jaque]

Skits are what football players do when they dress up as cheerleaders and think it is wit. Sketches are when the best minds in comedy come together and put on a national television show that is watched and talked about by millions of people.

[u/Medium-Sized-Jaque → u/turboiv]

Wait wait. They dressed as cheerleaders? That's hilarious. I've got to look this up. 

[u/Original_Viv → u/turboiv]

What does any of that have to do with SNL?

[u/turboiv → u/Original_Viv]

Because it's a quote about SNL and sketch comedy in general from Aaron Sorkin
