What’d We Miss? In Living Color and “Word Association”

Posted by Nicole Ankowski

Well, y’all have been loving (loving!) Nerve and IFC’s “50 Greatest Comedy Sketches of All Time.” But, as with any “best of” list, there’s been some contention. Some comments. Some “how the hell did you miss this YouTube clip, you cheeky bastards?!” sorts of things. In the interest of love, peace, and comedy everywhere, we here at the Nerve Insider will do our best to fill in the gaps, find the clips you demand, and spread more comedy love.

Today, we’re responding to “TF” who wanted more “In Living Color,” as well as a little “Word Association” with Richard Pryor and
Chevy Chase

“TF” said:
"This is a great list. Of course, all critical lists are subjective. So with that being said, you guys missed several great comedy sketches. In Living Color has several great comedy skits. Homey D. Clown, The Buttmans, Men on Films. Any of these skits should have been on the list. Your Ernie Kovacs pick was horrible. Ernie is the father of comedy skits. Surely, you could have found a better clip. And the best comedy sketch of all time is the classic 1975 SNL skit -- "Word Association" starring Richard Pryor and
Chevy Chase. You guys missed the boat."  --TF, 04/12

Here you go, TF! Enjoy…
