" We recently interviewed former Saturday Night Live writer, author, and comedy legend Jack Handey. For Best Month Ever, here are his five all-time favorite SNL skits. &amp;quot;Hans and Franz&amp;quot; (1987)       &amp;quot;That was Dana [Carvey] and Kevin [Nealon]. They came into my office and they performed it and I was just on the floor. It was just crazy funny. It was, I think, the last piece on the show, and the audience, sometimes you don&amp;#039;t know if the audience really likes it, and they&amp;#039;re just listening. They&amp;#039;re not really laughing, they&amp;#039;re just like, &amp;#039;This is weird, what are they going to say next?&amp;#039; Or they just hate it, you don&amp;#039;t know. I just remember it pretty much died. But apparently there was some buzz about it.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Massive Head Wound Harry&amp;quot; (1991)       &amp;quot;I actually was, like, the third writer on that. I think it was Rob Schneider and somebody else, I can&amp;#039;t remember. I contributed a few jokes on it, but it wasn&amp;#039;t my idea.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;The Raging Queen&amp;quot; (1979)   &amp;quot;That was one of the early seasons. Michael Palin was sort of, like, this innocent sailor on board this real gay-oriented ship in the 1800s. I think Belushi was the captain. I think [Palin&amp;#039;s] name was Miles. I think Belushi was like, &amp;#039;Miles, there&amp;#039;s a fearsome storm outside. Why don&amp;#039;t you come in my cabin with me?&amp;#039; Michael Palin&amp;#039;s one of my favorite all-time comedy guys. They don&amp;#039;t do them much anymore, where sketches would go on for several sets and would have a story, and historical stuff always make me laugh. I always liked those sets where you can land a joke in the first scene and have it pay off.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;MacGruber&amp;quot; (2007 - 2010)  &amp;quot;I guess it&amp;#039;s just kind of dark. I like explosions, they&amp;#039;re funny for me, people exploding, although in this day and age it&amp;#039;s not so funny. I just like idiots trying to do stuff, racing against the clock. [He&amp;#039;s] not listening to other people, just ignoring people... Also pretending or thinking you&amp;#039;re empathetic when you&amp;#039;re just totally not. Just totally misreading yourself is funny to me. I guess there&amp;#039;s a reason why most comic heroes are idiots. That&amp;#039;s funnier than the smart guy, usually. I don&amp;#039;t know why.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;\u00BFQuien es Mas Macho?&amp;quot; (1979) &amp;quot;That was a game show, I kind of see this used a lot since then. The first time I ever saw it, it was all in Spanish, sort of simple, sixth-grade Spanish. You ask the contestants, &amp;#039;What does your husband do?&amp;#039; They&amp;#039;d say, &amp;#039;Es un exterminator, the insectos.&amp;#039; They would then ask &amp;#039;Que classe de insectos?&amp;#039; Then [the contestants] would answer, &amp;#039;Mosquitoes, cucarachas, todos los insectos.&amp;#039; The game was who was the most macho. Like &amp;#039;Ricardo Montalban or Lloyd Bridges.&amp;#039; &amp;#039;Bridges?! Bridges!&amp;#039; It was the first skit I ever saw that was entirely in Spanish.&amp;quot; PLUS: Jack Handey on His SNL Days and More &amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
