00:00Welcome to MissMojo, and today we're counting down our picks to the best examples of sketches

00:10that defy expectations, wow us, and or confuse us in a good or bad way.

00:1610.

00:28Evil Boss This sketch probably wouldn't get made today.

00:32Unafraid to play the villain, Will Ferrell stars as a maniacal boss who takes out his

00:36anger on employees.

00:44This ramps up from hilarious confrontations to shocking violence by the end.

00:48All the while, Pierce Brosnan's interviewee watches in horror.

01:04How can you not react in the same way to a scene so chaotic?

01:07Ferrell's performance hits a fever pitch as he attacks people and battles another man

01:12to death.

01:20After much stabbing and screaming, this surprising skit finds its way to a bloody finale.

01:269.

01:27Wario How can you possibly describe this sketch?

01:31Nobody could have dreamed up a scenario where Elon Musk wears a Wario costume on SNL.

01:47You might spend half of this scene with your mouth agape as Nintendo characters speak in

01:51a courtroom.

01:52Musk's accent is ridiculous, and his acting leaves something to be desired.

02:01It's ridiculous from one moment to the next, with an inconceivable plot about Mario's murder.

02:06Even the musician Grimes shows up as Princess Peach.

02:10You need to see it to believe it.

02:12And then you'll likely double-check if you're still awake.

02:188.

02:22Farewell Mr. Bunting While this starts as an accurate parody of

02:26Dead Poets Society, it goes to a much darker place.

02:42Fred Armisen plays a version of Robin Williams' character who prepares to leave.

02:47Critics try to support him, but one stands too close to the ceiling fan.

03:02His head goes flying off in a hilarious turn of events.

03:05The skit becomes a horror film of sorts, ranking high among the most violent SNL pieces ever.

03:11Everyone's reaction and the copious amounts of blood only make it better.

03:15You might be laughing or wincing, but either way, you'll probably be speechless.

03:227.

03:36Meet Your Second Wife Tina Fey and Amy Poehler play hosts of a funny

03:41and unexpected game show.

03:43With the power to see the future, the presenters reveal the future wives of each contestant.

03:58This draws a huge reaction as the audience watches young girls walk out.

04:03The ingenious concept corners each man, but also defies logic in wonderful ways.

04:19It's fantastic writing that catches you off guard.

04:22Even when you think you can guess the final twist, the writers manage to shock you even

04:26more.

04:38The skit really makes you think while also functioning like great satire.

04:426.

04:44World's Most Evil Invention This might be the darkest and most twisted

04:48sketch in recent SNL history.

05:02During a contest for evil inventions, everything seems normal until Dwayne Johnson's Roy shows

05:07up.

05:08Johnson has such a disgusting power that it even freaks out the other villains.

05:26Walking a thin line between funny and too far, this skit could have easily been a complete

05:31train wreck.

05:33Johnson's subdued performance and the other reactions make this scene much better.

05:49Even with the bold writing, you might be too creeped out to keep watching.

05:53This doesn't include the last-minute plug for White Castle Burgers.

05:57The whole thing plays out with some of the show's most controversial material ever.

06:125.

06:16Super Showcase Spokesmodels Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph were born to

06:20be in sketches together, bringing both talent and exuberant energy to everything.

06:26This has never been more evident than in the exciting Super Showcase Spokesmodels.

06:48They both try to reveal prizes until they break character.

06:52After that happens, the laughter never stops in an entertaining series of mistakes.

06:57Bill Hader can't hide his joyful reactions to the disaster.

07:15From selling chickens to golf carts, the actresses chuckle their way through all kinds of sales

07:20pitches.

07:21They even throw in some incredible accents for more entertainment value.

07:334.

07:40Meatballs A romantic evening seems to be going well,

07:42but nobody could have expected it to end this way.

07:45Sarah Sherman's character reveals that she has meatballs growing out of her.

08:01This isn't even the strangest part of the sketch, because the growths can also sing.

08:06The psychedelic scene enters another dimension, where all the little beef products dwell.

08:24Everything spirals out of control, forcing you to confront your deepest fears and fantasies

08:28about food.

08:29You also get to watch as Oscar Isaac plays one of the many meatballs.

08:33It's nothing if not an adventure from start to finish.

08:443.

08:47Potato Chip Do not, under any circumstances, eat another

08:51man's potato chips.

08:53This is a rule by which Will Forte's character seems to live his life.

09:08Jason Sudeikis' applicant decides that he's going to ruin that in an inexplicable sketch.

09:14Everyone in the skit, including Blake Lively, plays this script like it's deadly serious.

09:32You have to admire their dedication to the material, regardless of it making sense.

09:36There's also the fact that Sudeikis spits into Forte's hand, adding a gross-out element

09:41to this unique premise.

09:43Did we mention that this all takes place at a NASA office?

09:47We can only imagine how this imaginative idea came to be.

09:542.

10:03Colonel Angus Comes Home It's funny to think that this entire sketch

10:07revolves around one joke.

10:22There's plenty of innuendo to go around, with Christopher Walken's character arriving to

10:26make it all better.

10:28Walken's Colonel Angus is an old military man who provokes strong reactions from everyone.

10:43It's a little surprising that the edgy sketch made it past the censors, but the clever writing

10:48certainly deserves some credit.

10:50Everyone's southern accents and their ability to keep a straight face should also be commended.

10:55The scene could be considered super raunchy for SNL standards, but it's also endlessly

11:00entertaining.

11:14Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honourable mentions.

11:18Scooby-Doo

11:19The classic show takes a violent turn after a face rips off.

11:30Fartface

11:31Bill Hader, Will Forte, and Josh Brolin call each other names in a silly and unexpected

11:36skit.

11:50Sitcom Reboot

11:51John Mulaney's unsavoury character explains his strange TV show in a surprising sketch.

12:20Jesus Uncrossed

12:22In the style of Quentin Tarantino, this funny sketch finds a way to give Jesus Christ a

12:26revenge story.

12:39Christoph Waltz stars as a much more aggressive version of the religious leader.

12:44With Waltz's skilled performance, the skit takes an over-the-top view of the New Testament.

12:53It's also a little shocking that the writers dive headfirst into such a sacred subject.

12:58Putting weapons in Jesus' hands, the hilarious premise puts him in the midst of Tarantino

13:03homages from Pulp Fiction to Django Unchained.

13:07It's a crazy, bold, and violent scene that you can't forget.
