Saturday Night Live (SNL) has been a cornerstone of American television comedy since its debut in 1975, creating a vast library of iconic characters and catchphrases that naturally transitioned into internet memes. From Christopher Walken's 'More Cowbell' and Bill Hader’s 'Stefon' to the surreal 'David S. Pumpkins,' SNL sketches are designed for virality even before the internet existed. The meme format often utilizes the show's distinct visual identity—like the Helvetica title cards or specific stage setups—to satirize current events or pop culture. Using an SNL template allows creators to tap into decades of sketch comedy history, instantly signaling a tone of satire, absurdity, or high-energy performance to their audience.
