Chris Parnell was always such a great straight man 😅

The only one not to break in the Cowbell sketch.

Seriously!

Pretty much stole every seen he was in during 30 rock

I really gotta rewatch that show

You definitely need to! The amount of jokes that happen per minute must be some sort of record. I heard someone make a comparison one time that 30 walk was almost like a live action Simpsons and it’s pretty spot on.

That’s what I remember most about it, it’s like a machine gun of funny. Just so much I can’t remember it all haha

Oooooo that’s a great description. VEEP is the same way.

The best comedy has a basis in reality. You just know something like this has been pulled before and will be pulled again.

Exactly. Also I think my favorite sketches are the ones that don't have much of a plot, just a simple occurrence and a simple/extremely ridiculous conclusion.

I'm a huge fan of the SNL Maine Justice. That's exactly why I love it. The absurdity of it all.

One of the most underrated cast members of all time.

Sooo underrated. Gave a great sense of reality to even the nuttiest sketches

This is great. His skit with Steve Martin and Amy Poehler where he gives financial advice is also very simple, pretty short and absolutely hilarious.

He was a solid foil for a lot of Will Ferrell/ Andy Samberg silliness; it warms my heart he found a career after SNL with his worrywart characters in cartoons

This is HILARIOUS! Chris really did play a great straight man. I love all of them.

He really did!

The last time I had my prostate checked, 12 nurses took turns. Good thing I had medical insurance because I was sore for 5 days

Who's Spaceman?

We just talked about how underrated Parnell was on our SNL Farrell episode. No clue how he kept a straight face all the time.

You just hit the nail on the head and I didn't realize, he always *always* could keep a straight face. Not even a smile. So good.

Will is also a great straight man

“Was?” He hasn’t passed away yet. “Is” would have been better.

His tenure on SNL *has* sadly passed

@vikings1968 Has yet to break on Rick and Morty.

@vikings1968 It’d be amazing if cartoons allowed for flubs

LOL 😂

We dont do that exam in my country, do they hold the pole or do the cup the balls?

My claim to fame is I once danced with Chris Parnell at a club in Memphis in the early 2000s! He was an absolute gentlemen!

Lara Flynn Boyle

🤣

So versatile and underrated. If you look at things like SNL, 30 rock, Rick and Morty you’ll see he can play a great straight man, fool and eccentric.

Absolutely, he's been so solid throughout. I need more Parnell in things!

Dr. Spaceman.

Haha 100%

Dr. Spaceman!

I’m a great straight man too but I don’t let it define me. This is a joke people. Probably a pretty crappy one too

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

LOL
