Yet time after time, with the exceptions of features like Wayne’s World and The Blues Brothers, SNL often failed to deliver even mediocre comedies out of their once-glorified skits. To the credit of all SNL films, good and bad, these sketches were classics that showed this promise. Without said fanbase, the film has little influence in proving its saleability to a national movie audience. The initial requirement for adapting five-minute sketches like It’s Pat, Coneheads or Wayne’s World into feature films is a loyal fanbase. Until they have a fender bender with their role model. SNL has an interesting history with its sketches-turned-movies. It seems like Steve and Doug will never be cool enough to make the Roxbury clubs guest list. Anyone who wasn’t living in a cave during the mid/late ’90s can recognize the song forever immortalized by Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan’s popular “”Saturday Night Live” skit. Then, the unmistakable song pumps through the speakers: “ What is love? Baby don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me no more,” Haddaway sings in his emotionally tinged dance hit.

The Paramount logo kicks up, followed by the opening credits.
