50 greatest comedy sketches of all time

I'm Rick James, bitch!
I'm pinching your face.
This is an ex-parrot.
I need more cowbell.
Wookin' pa nub in awe da wong pwaces.

nerve.com and IFC compiled their Top 50 Greatest Comedy Sketches of All Time. Surely this will spur some heated (or not so heated) debate. Some true gems from the past are included. We're glad (or at least Chris is) to see Monty Python well-represented. It's a joy to see the Men's Synchronized Swimming SNL sketch from forever ago (Martin Short: "I don't swim.") And Michael Ian Black (from The State) always brings a smile to our faces.

Enjoy:
