Whether it comes to unnecessarily edgy sketches, polarizing political hosts, or musicians ripping up pictures of the pope, the show has seen an unfathomable amount of both onscreen and offscreen antics. Some sketches raise the question, to what extent does certain content count as &#8220;funny&#8221; or worthy of being satirized? Although criticized for growing more and more tepid over the years, SNL still continues to push these boundaries &#8211; whether they intend to or not. Now, remarkably, on its 47th season, here are some of the most controversial <em>SNL <\/em>sketches of all time, ranked.<br \/>\n<!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #1! --><br \/>\n<!-- No winning ad found for zone: below first paragraph! --><br \/>\n<!-- No winning ad found for zone: mid intro! --><br \/>\n<span class=\"related-single\">Related: SNL: The Best Star Wars Actors Who Hosted the Show, Ranked<\/span><br \/>\n<!-- Zone: native in content. --><\/p>\n<div class=\"adsninja-ad-zone\" id=\"adsninja-ad-zone-adsninja-ad-unit-nativeInContent-62ec30a170dff\">\n<div id=\"dynamically-injected-refresh-ad-zone-adsninja-ad-unit-nativeInContent-62ec30a170dff\" class=\"dynamically-injected-refresh-ad-zone\">\n<div class=\"ad-current\">\n<div id=\"ad-zone-container-adsninja-ad-unit-nativeInContent-62ec30a170dff\" class=\"ad-zone-container ad-zone-container-content-native-in-content\" data-no-fill-collapsable=\"false\"><strong class=\"ad-zone-advertising-tag\">MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: every entry repeatable. --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"nude-beach\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Nude_Beach\"><\/span> <span class=\"item-num\">7 <\/span> Nude Beach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img expandable img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:52.5%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/nudebeachsnl.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;NBC&quot;\">\n<figure> <picture> <!--[if IE 9]> <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/nudebeachsnl.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/nudebeachsnl.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/nudebeachsnl.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/nudebeachsnl.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><img width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"nudebeachsnl\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/nudebeachsnl.jpg\"\/> <\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">NBC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Penned by a young Conan O&#8217;Brien in 1988, the &#8220;Nude Beach&#8221; sketch, featuring Matthew Broderick as the new guy on a nudist colony, included the word &#8220;penis&#8221; over 40 times. Although viewers might not bat an eye watching it today, the sketch generated 46,000 letters of complaint upon its release &#8211; It&#8217;s safe to say that references to genitalia were still pretty taboo back then. In fact, the main reason that the sketch even came to exist was because the FCC had updated censorship limitations only a week prior to include the word &#8220;penis.&#8221; Conan really took that opportunity and ran.
