The iconic Saturday Night Live has just wrapped up its 41st season, and whilst it may not be filled with the star power of years gone by they still manage to tickle the funny bone from time to time.

Rolling Stone has selected their ten best from the year gone by, but we know you have work to do so we’ve cut our list down to four.

In no order, because you’re an adult and you can make your own mind up.

Also we’ve skipped those featured on this site already, just to make sure they’re fresh.

Meet Your Second Wife

There are SNL game show send-ups, and then there’s this sketch: a hilarious, jaw-dropping, yes-we’re-going-there bit that felt instantly canon-worthy. We knew that the Christmas episode would be top-notch once we heard Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were hosting, but we didn’t expect something that would hold up with the best of the Fey-run writers’ room from back in the day.

Bern Your Enthusiasm

It took exactly one guest appearance from the Seinfeld co-creator as the good senator from Vermont to forever meld the performer and the politician together in the public’s mind — at this point, Larry David’s recurring Bernie Sanders impersonation has become as iconic as Tina Fey’s devastating Sarah Palin.

The Day Beyoncé Turned Black

All those folks who think “I mean, I love black artists/actors/writers, but do they have to be so, you know, like black black?” SNL and someone who has hot sauce in her bag swag would like a quick word with you.

Jay Pharoah’s Secret Meeting of Black Comedians – start from the 10:40 mark below to cut to the chase

…this rapid-fire showcase for his takes on a who’s-who of comedians — Katt Williams, Kevin Hart, Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle, Tracy Morgan, Chris Tucker, Hannibal Buress and Bernie Mac — during a Weekend Update appearance felt like a genuine starmaking moment. It’s not just the spot-on mimicry but the speed at which he switches between all of them. The segment just crackles with energy.

See, you only wasted the part of your day you would have spent staring out the window anyway.
