We nicknamed a co-worker Downer Donna after this first aired! She is exactly like Debbie Downer. No matter what the comment, she will find the most depressing downside.

We have a yearly work meeting in Vegas and every year she is like the grim reaper trudging around. She worries about everything too. She constantly looks for the worst possible scenario and will not stop until she and everyone else is miserable. I was playing a slot machine in Vegas once and I was on a winning streak....I swear when she walked up behind me, I truly felt a black cloud hovering and my winning streak was over!

I try to help her see the bright side but she refuses and sometimes winds up mad or crying when people try to cheer her up. Poor Downer Donna.

I saw this when it first aired and many times since but its still makes me laugh hard.  Rachel Dratch in that dull brown blouse, her big eyes and the camera zooming in on the Waaaa Waaaaaa moment.  Everyone breaking up. I never get tired of seeing it.

SNL tried it a few more times but it was never as funny.

Another funny one was Britney Spears as Barbie's (the doll) daughter.  I can't seem to find it on Youtube.

That was hilarious!  Even the actors couldn't keep a straight face!  I still love SNL but it's nothing like it was when I was a teenager....Steve Martin, Bill Murray, John Billushi...Eddie Murphy in Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood was so funny! Can you say ghetto boys and girls? LMAO
