15 of the Best Saturday Night Live Music Videos of All Time

No show brings music and comedy together like Saturday Night Live, and over its 44 seasons, the series has gifted us with a number of hilarious music videos. Before Andy Samberg and his Lonely Island crew brought the concept of digital shorts to the show in 2005, SNL aired most of its musical sketches — like Steve Martin's iconic performance of "King Tut" — live from the studio. Now, with each new season, the show's musical moments are getting bigger and better, with elaborate sets and locations, featuring collaborations with top artists like Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Katy Perry.

Suffice it to say, SNL has given us plenty of toe-tapping and giggle-worthy moments over the past few years, including a couple of Emmy Award-winning music videos from Justin Timberlake and Chance the Rapper. That being said, if you're in the mood to swoon, dance, or just listen to a funny holiday jam, here are 15 SNL music videos that are guaranteed to make you ROFL.

Lazy Sunday (Season 31, 2005)

"Lazy Sunday" is one of the Lonely Island's first digital shorts for SNL, and is quite possibly the catchiest song the show has ever produced. The Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell rap is centered on a slow Sunday afternoon when the two friends decide to watch The Chronicles of Narnia, all while rhyming about their love of Matthew Perry, Google Maps, cupcakes, and Mr. Pibb.
