The following is a list of recurring Saturday Night Live characters and sketches introduced between September 26, 1992, and May 15, 1993, the eighteenth season of SNL.

[edit] Tiny Elvis
Nicolas Cage plays Tiny Elvis. Debuted September 26, 1992.
[edit] Audience McGee
An Adam Sandler sketch. Debuted October 24, 1992.
[edit] Hank Fielding
Hank Fielding was a commentator played by Robert Smigel who provided the "Moron's Perspective". He appeared to be an average commentator, but his speech was indicative that he was extremely slow, and that he clearly had a difficulty discerning fantasy from reality. In one appearance, he commented on President Bill Clinton's State of the Union Address, complaining that his overly long speech pre-empted other shows like Jake and the Fat Man, making actor William Conrad wait nervously backstage as the President "rambled on". His appearance was supplemented by an extremely slow scrawling of his signature across the screen. Debuted November 14, 1992.
[edit] Tony Vallencourt
An Adam Sandler sketch. Debuted December 12, 1992.
[edit] Orgasm Guy
A Rob Schneider sketch. Debuted December 12, 1992.
[edit] Gap Girls
An Adam Sandler and David Spade and Chris Farley sketch. Debuted January 9, 1993.
[edit] Sassy's Sassiest Boys
Phil Hartman played Russell Clark, editor of Sassy Magazine, who interviewed young, male celebrities of the day, and incessantly repeated the term "Sassy!", or variations of it ("The French have a word for it: Sassé!" or "Looks like someone stepped in a big pile of Sassy!") after each guest's response. Guests included Joey Lawrence (played by Mike Myers) whose sole response to everything was the expression, "Whoa!" (his character's catchphrase on the sitcom, Blossom). Adam Sandler made an appearance as "Marky" Mark Walberg and Jay Mohr appeared as Andrew McCarthy, still lamenting his breakup with Molly Ringwald (continuously repeating "I love her, man.") Debuted February 6, 1993.
[edit] Canteen Boy
An Adam Sandler sketch. Debuted March 13, 1993.
[edit] Hub's Gyros ("You like-a the juice?")
A Rob Schneider and Robert Smigel and Chris Farley and Adam Sandler sketch. Debuted April 10, 1993.
[edit] Bennett Brauer
Bennett Brauer was played by Chris Farley. Debuted April 10, 1993. In each appearance, Brauer provided commentary for Kevin Nealon's Weekend Update, vividly describing his poor hygiene, his lack of social grace, and his anger towards the viewers for preferring other photogenic commentators to him. Brauer would make regular use of air quotes to emphasize every point he made. For example:
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 have no "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".
In one instance, Brauer was made to fly (via cables), although a technical glitch delayed the ascent, thereby creating one of SNL's most famous bloopers. As Kevin Nealon tries to get the cables untangled, Brauer exclaims, "I have a weight problem! Can't they lift me?" Brauer is then lifted high above a cheering audience in a manner akin to Peter Pan. Kevin Nealon then continues the Weekend Update and the closing music is playing when a loud crash is heard. The cable has broken and a disheveled Bennett emerges from the counter; which has been damaged by his fall.
[edit] Matt Foley
A Chris Farley sketch. Debuted May 8, 1993.
