Bennett Brauer. In my opinion, he is clearly one of the most hilarious
characters that SNL has ever been blessed with. Played by the great late
Chris Farley, there's no one else in the world who could have made this
character more comical. Observe:

"That's
right, Bennett Brauer here with another commentary. Didn't think the suites
would have me back, perhaps. Thought they'd have my derriere replaced by
one of those cookie cutter store mannequins...
Well, maybe I'm not "the norm". I'm not "camera friendly". I don't "wear
clothes that fit me". I'm not a "heartbreaker". I haven't "had sex with
a woman"; I don't know "how that works". I guess I don't "fall in line".
I'm not "hygenic". I don't "wipe properly". I lack "style". I don't have
"charisma" or "self esteem". I don't "own a toothbrush" or "let my scabs
heal". I can't "reach all the parts of my body". When I sleep, I "sweat
profusely".
But
I guess the "powers that be" will keep signing my paycheck, at least until
John and Jane Q. Viewer start to go for the remote so they can get back
to watching commentators who don't "frighten children" and don't "eat their
own dandruff" and don't "pop their white heads with a compass they used
in highschool"."
Listen to his other appearance on Weekend Update (WAV format) which is also written out below.
"That's right, Bennett Brauer back with another commentary. Thought you've
seen the last of ol' Bennett, perhaps. Thougtht the network bigwigs would
have sent Bennett and his negative "view rating" on a slow boat to shanghai.
Well, maybe I don't "look the part". I'm not "velt". I don't "look comfortable
on camera". I'm not "gabby". I don't "understand what'd going on in the
news". I'm not "likable". I don't "get along with people". When I go to
work, I don't "make eye contact". I guess I don't "fit the mold". I don't
"wear the latest clothes" or even ones that don't "reek". I don't "change
my underwear". I'm not "buff". I don't have "firm breasts". I don't "exercise".
And when I do sweat, I don't "shower". I'm not "spick and span". I don't
"clean the area between my crotch and legs".
But, for the time being, I guess the network "enforcers" are opting for
my approach, until Joe Consumer tells them he'd rather get his 2 cents
from commentators who don't "make babies cry" and don't "drink maple syrup
straight from the bottle," and don't "leave old dried up deodorant cakes
under their arms for weeks at a time," and- I'm flying! I'm flying!! ..holy
shnikes!..I have a weight problem..."
