Finally! Thanks to Jesse Thorn's twitter power, someone tracked down and posted comedy's proudest moment!→[More:]

Truly a great piece of Jack Handey material. And perhaps George Clooney's pinnacle.

Please deposit all your "mehs" in your local branch of Eff You, Pal Bank.

Disappointed that Clooney missed his "throw everything off the desk" cue and had to go back.

I agree—that's a great Jack Handey sketch. Unfortunately, it aired during one of SNL's worst eras, in which they managed to completely waste the talents of people like Michael McKean, Mark McKinney, Chris Elliott, and Janeane Garofalo.

For more Jack Handey goodness, check out some of his Shouts & Murmurs pieces from the New Yorker.

Not to be argumentative, but the greatest sketch on SNL...nay...the greatest sketch ever, was Vonda Braithwaite vs. Mephistopheles.
