Saturday Night Live: Top 10 Chris Farley sketches of all-time

7. Lunch Lady Land

In addition to being a long-time SNL cast member and having a successful film career afterwards, Adam Sandler has also proven to be a pretty talented musician as well. His first studio album, They’re All Gonna Laugh At You, was a collection of some of his best musical work up until that point, and Lunch Lady Land was a certified hit. But when they did the music video for SNL, there was only one person that they had in mind to play the lunch lady.

The lunch lady is the scorn of elementary school kids. Cafeteria food is bad enough, but couple that with the lunch lady’s demeaning attitude and hideous looks, and it was enough to sometimes ruin the only period of the day when children didn’t have class. And if there’s anybody on the SNL cast that can play that type of role to a tee, it’s Chris Farley.

If you’re able to overshadow Adam Sandler, you’re clearly doing something right. But when Farley donned a lunch lady get-up and did a dance routine akin to the woman in the “Here I Go Again” music video, it made for one hysterical sketch.

Sandler’s song is funny enough on its own, but Farley’s accompanying interpretive dance number put it over the top. If this music video was designed to increase Sandler’s album sales, it succeeded, as it sold over 2 million copies. Farley wasn’t the only one who helped put together content for Sandler’s first album, but his contribution to “Lunch Lady Land” was definitely enough to ensure that Sandler would become the household name that he is today.
