The legendary comedy institution that is returns this weekend, September 26, for its 52nd season with Knicks star Jalen Brunson hosting and Katseye as musical guest.I've never watched a lot of sports in my life, but s storied history of golden eras, seasonal slumps, "The Weird Year," controversies, iconic cast members (many gone too soon), and ever-rotating roster have made it the team I've followed for almost my entire life.This season has seen a gentler shake-up than last year.
Most of the cast is back, and though Martin Herlihy and Chloe Fineman have departed, Ashley Padilla has been on a hot streak, and a couple of newcomers (including online sensation Grace Reiter, who went viral reshooting with friends) should make for a good year.To get you in the mood for all the madness from Studio 8H, here are five movies born out of 's DNA, ranked, that you can stream this week.5 A Night at the Roxbury Stretch your neck muscles for this head-bopping classic What is love? Baby, don't hurt me.
Don't hurt me ...no more.If that song isn't instantly in your head and it's not bopping side to side right now, go and check your pulse because you dead.
The Roxbury guys started aggressively bouncing women (and men) around the dance floor on in season 21.The sketch featuring gelled-up brothers Steve and Doug Butabi, who never spoke and just lurched their heads to Haddaway's was written by Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan, alongside writer Steve Koren, who also co-wrote the film about the two dreamers scheming to open their own nightclub.Critics loathed it, but is pure nostalgia.

Every.Time.For the movie, MacGruber comes out of retirement to stop nuclear-armed villain Dieter von Cunth (Val Kilmer), and teams up with military officer Lt.
Dixon Piper (Ryan Phillippe) and his assistant/love interest, Vicki St.Elmo (Kristen Wiig).Although it tanked in theaters and baffled critics, it enjoyed a cult resurrection and a 2021 Peacock series.

Baking powder? Arguably the most successful and highly rated movie on this list, is undoubtedly my favorite.Mike Myers and Dana Carvey's metalhead basement-dwellers Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar first appeared on the show during season 14 in 1989, and things were never the same.
The film, co-written by Myers and Bonnie and Terry Turner, is the highest-grossing film spun off from a sketch, and boy, did it deliver the one-liners.It follows the lovable pair as their public-access TV show gets bought by a slimy network executive (Rob Lowe) who wants to exploit it—while also trying to steal Wayne's girlfriend, the smokin' hot rocker Cassandra (Tia Carrere).Because of , millions around the world are helpless to resist banging their heads whenever Queen's comes on in a car—you know the part.

And if you're still looking for more, I'd also suggest watching the excellent documentary , a fascinating look at Lorne Michaels, the creator and architect of this American comedy institution, who has been spoofed and lovingly impersonated by so many (he's the inspiration behind Mike Myers' Dr.Evil, after all).Michaels is arguably the greatest character of all time.
