Nerve and IFC have pulled together a fun list that counts down the 50 funniest sketches in television history. Happily, the list features many video clips, and this inspired us to post one of our own. Here we have John Belushi, appearing on Saturday Night Live in the late 1970s, performing a classic bit called “Samurai Delicatassen.” Check out the full list of 50 here, and find many more SNL skits on Hulu.com here (if you’re living in the US).

So much for your readers outside the US. Hulu won’t serve them…
Sorry about that. I forgot about Hulu’s senseless restriction. So I posted another video from the same line of sketches.
