The latest episode of Saturday Night Live\u2019s<\/a> new digital series The Rundown features Mikey Day and Streeter Seidell <\/a>trying to select a few of their favorite pretapes to add to the \u201cperfect\u201d SNL episode. <\/p>\n

It was a daunting task because pretapes include commercial parodies, fake movie trailers, the Lonely Island Digital Shorts, short films, animated shorts, TV show parodies, Jack Handey\u2019s Deep Thoughts<\/a>, and more. Day and Seidell went with \u201cDick in a Box,\u201d \u201cUnited Way\u201d with Peyton Manning<\/a>, \u201cChristmas Time for the Jews\u201d (in the \u201cCut for Time\u201d slot), and a \u201cDeep Thoughts\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cDick in the Box\u201d is an SNL Hall of Famer, and I love the inclusion of \u201cUnited Way,\u201d a surprising modern classic that includes a brilliant turn and delivers a slew of literal laugh-out-loud moments. And as a huge \u201cDeep Thoughts\u201d fan, I appreciate the guys fighting for Jack Handey\u2019s absurd musings to get the post-monologue spot, even if it wasn\u2019t technically allowed.<\/p>\n
