When the holidays roll around, there are two certainties that accompany them. The first – you’re going to see your family. The second – you’re going to see some of your family drunk. Bobby Moynihan’s Drunk Uncle character on Saturday Night Live is so hilarious because it was born out of so much truth that people can relate. The funny factor comes from DU’s over-the-top nuggets of slurred wisdom.
Moynihan captures the “back in my day” dynamic perfectly with DU. And SNL is wise to use that for knee-slapping bits near the holidays. Here are 10 of his best quotes, or at least the most coherent ones.
On Easter
10. “When I was a kid, Easter use to mean something. We use to get dressed up. I wore a tuxedo for a week.”
9.“We use to color our eggs with lead paint. Now…there’s an app for that.”
On New Years
8. “You know what my New Year’s resolution is? I’m going to watch the damn Vikings game, Gloria, and that’s final.”
