SNL is short for "Saturday Night Live". Aired on NBC starting in 1975, the show instantly became a classic. A cast consisting of comedy star such as Dan Akroyd (1941, Blues Brothers, Christmas With The Cranks),Chevy Chase (National Lampoon's Vacation), and John Belushi (Animal House, Blues Brothers) made the show an instant classic. Produced by comedy god Lorne Micheals, the show re-invented television forever. The show went through a dark period, as Lorne left in 1980. He left it to now NBC sports producer Dick Eborsol. He would cast greats like Eddie Murphy, Billy Crystal, and Martin Short in 1986. Lorne returned from then to now. In 1991 the show went back up in the ratings when now comedy gods Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman, and David Spade joined the cast. The house was cleared in 1995 to make way for cast members such as Will Farrell, Derrel Hammod, Jimmy Fallon and Molly Shannon. Between 1996 and 2002 the show went thorugh a period that bested its first 5 years. The show still airs today on NBC at 11:30 PM on Saturday

Player1: Woah, SNL rolled that guild right at the end.
Player2: The thing is, they have only like 14 players and they went against 3 allied zerg guilds.
Player1: That's pretty boss.

Was once ONE OF THE GREATEST sketch comedy shows (Monty Python, anyone?) until great performers like Phil Hartman, Mike Meyers, and Dana Carvey left along with all the writers who actually knew what irreverent humor was all about.
I love watching old SNL re-runs on Comedy Central, but that new SNL shit is just sad and depressingly un-funny. I think I'm gonna shoot myself now.

An acronym representing 'Smiling but Not Laughing'/'Smiling Not Laughing'.
Used for social networking, to indicate that the user of the term is smiling, but not laughing.
It's purpose is to eradicate the false usage of 'LOL- Laugh Out Loud'...another acronym, one which is very casually used 2 indicate laughter although the joke/comment/statement merely brings a smile to the face.
