The Most Underappreciated SNL Skit

Tim Meadows and Tracy Morgan star in this skit as Russell and Tate, a stop-at-nothing law firm determined to git you yo' money no matter what the reason. Unfortunately, no video of this actually exists on the internet. Or at least I couldn't find it, but I didn't exactly look that hard. The transcript of the skit is below, but here's the link to it because the page can take you to a website that has hundreds of SNL transcripts.

Announcer: If you've been injured on the job, or you are the victim of an accident, you may be entitled to a sizable cash settlement. No one knows this better than Russell and Tate.

Testimonial #1: Russell & Tate got me $27,000. And a new lease on life.

Russell: We're gonna git yo' money.

Tate: Damn straight!

Russell: You can bet your sweet ass we'll git it!

Tate: No bull.

[ cut to Husband & Wife in their kitchen ]

Husband: We were very concerned after the accident.

Wife: We didn't know who to turn to, so we called Russell & Tate.

Husband: We got a lot of money. $150,000.

[ cut back to Russell & Tate ]

Tate: It's like this: if somebody has your money, we're gonna git it.

Russell: They can't have your money!

Tate: That's right. Unless they want a piece of Russell & Tate!

Russell: Oh, yeah!

[ Russell & Tate laugh, and clap their fists together ]

Testimonial #2: I called Russell & Tate, and told them I wanted money.

[ cut back to Russell & Tate ]

Russell: Your money is not their money!

Tate: No, it ain't! You gotta get your money! They ain't supposed to have it! So, we gonna git it, or I don't know what.

Russell: Well, I do! [ they laugh ] Yeah, we gonna git it! You gotta understand - Tate, here, is one very mean brother with a degree from Harvard Law, and he will go crazy academic on your ass if you try to mess with somebody's money!

Tate: Let me rap to them for a minute, Russell. Listen, y'all - you ain't even seen the inside of Hell until Russell comes busting down on you with his big-ass experience as a former editor of the American Law Review!

[ cut to Testimonial #3 ]

Testimonial #3: When I first saw Russell & Tate, I knew that these guys would get me money. I mean, Russell Johnson was my law professor at Harvard, and Tate Witherspoon has argued hundreds of successful Supreme Court cases. Bottom line? They get you your money.

[ cut back to Russell & Tate ]

Tate: $200.. $300.. $2,000, it don't matter, we gonna git it!

Russell: That's right! $8,000.. $17,000.. $400,000, I don't care - we gonna git it all! I wasn't an expert witness in the Microsoft Anti-Trust Case, and a president of the New York Bar for six years so I could sit up on my ass and not get your money!

Tate: That's right, Russell! And I didn't bust my hump doing a federal judgeship, and all those appointments at the Congressional Committee so some bitch could steal your knot!

Russell: No diggity!

Tate: You know what I'm saying!

Russell: Oh, yeah, we gonna git your money!

Tate: Straight up!

Russell: Damn!

Tate: Damn!

Announcer: Russell & Tate. Attorneys At Law.

Here's to You Brock Berlin

Quite simply, this is the hardest hit I've ever seen in a football game. Miami wide receiver Roscoe Parrish got absolutely obliterated in the Miami/Florida State game a couple of years ago. He got hit so hard, he ended up being taken to the hospital for INTERNAL BLEEDING. That doesn't happen in football games, more like car wrecks. Maybe he should have stayed strong on his Ole Miss commitment and he would have avoided this. Then again, Bill Flowers did get his spleen lacerated by a Vanderbilt defensive back. I digress....

The 4-2-5 In All Its Glory

In case you were not there in person to experience the worst performance by a passing defense in the history of Division I football, here's your chance to see it. These are the highlights from the Ole Miss/Texas Tech game set to Metallica's Wherever I May Roam. For the record, I almost puked when I watched this.

I Wish You Weren't a Liar

Brian Walker needs to actually get hit by a pitch before thinking his arm is broken.

Tom Cruise Has Two Left Feet

Tom Cruise takes time out from pimping his new movie to absolutely horrify the good folks at BET with his attempt at dancing.
