Will Ferrel does this skit, it is hilarious, I wish someone would add it.
Does "Fericito" in 2003 refer to Show Biz Grande Explosion!? --Jacquelyn Marie 13:19, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
You're welcome. I've been working on it for some time now, and it's pretty much finished. All I have to do now is create pages for all these characters. If you have a particular sketch you're partial to, and it has a red link, by all means, write something about it.
You know... this page is already rediculously well-done... but what if we had a section where we organize by cast member? Or is that overkill? --Jacqui ★ 22:44, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
For anyone who is interested, there is currently an AfD going on over Gay Hitler. Jacqui ★ 15:39, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
I brought this up on the Gay Hitler page, but if anybody has any suggestions for categories that can include a number of these characters or sketches, please suggest them. I was originally planning on writing a stub for each of them in due time, but I think it would be smarter to categorize, and have larger articles. Possible categories:
Tommy Flanagan, The Pathological Liar appeared on Update, but I wouldn't call him an Update character. He made 18 appearances, so maybe he just warrants his own page.
Other suggestions?
Either the name of this page should be changed or some of these should be dropped. Some are single appearance sketches and (while often pretty good ones) don't realy deserve mention any more than any otehr joke/routine on a comedy show, and are not "recurring". I mean, that Barry Gibb talk show was pretty funny, but I believe it was only done once. -R. fiend 03:47, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
I was wondering if anyone would object if I added a statement to limit the scope of this list (and related lists) to sketches that have appeared a minimum of three times. It's a little hard for me to explain my reasoning, and obviously a sketch that appears twice meets the dictionary definition of "recurring", but I think a sketch that appears a second time isn't quite yet in the spirit of what people think of as "recurring sketches". By the third time, there's an established pattern, it's part of the repertory, people are able to anticipate it ("I wonder if they'll do a Goth Talk tonight") and think of it as a running thing instead of just something that was brought back once.
(This suggestion should not be construed in any way as a response to the recent addition of the J-pop sketch or the creation of the 2011-2012 list page; I was thinking about this as I was working on the recent overhaul of the sketch pages. But if this change were made, the J-pop sketch wouldn't currently be eligible here. I'd probably redirect the 2011-2012 list to Recurring Saturday Night Live characters and sketches (listed chronologically) until J-pop or another sketch debuting this season did get a third appearance; I certainly expect that the 2011-2012 list would still be needed later.)

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Recurring Saturday Night Live characters and sketches (listed chronologically) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 16:45, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
