Theodoric of York: Medieval Barber
...
Theodoric of York: Well, you’ll feel a lot better after a good bleeding.

Drunkard: But I’m bleeding already!

Theodoric of York: Say, whos the barber here?

Drunkard: Okay, okay, just do something for my legs.

Theodoric of York: Well, the three of us will get you up on the gibbet here. [ turns Drunkard upside-down, then spreads his legs apart ] Okay, now this is gonna hurt a little. What we’re doing is separating your broken bones, and if you don’t feel better tomorrow, we’ll just cut his legs off about here.

Drunkard: Okay. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna feel better tomorrow!
...
Theodoric of York: [ steps toward the camera ] "Wait a minute. Perhaps she’s right. Perhaps I’ve been wrong to blindly follow the medical traditions and superstitions of past centuries. Maybe we barbers should test these assumptions analytically, through experimentation and a “scientific method”. Maybe this scientific method could be extended to other fields of learning: the natural sciences, art, architecture, navigation. Perhaps I could lead the way to a new age, an age of rebirth, a Renaissance! [ thinks for a minute ] Naaaaaahhh!"

another episode, this time as Medieval Judge...

Theodoric of York: I see. And what's this man accused of?

Reeve: Adultery.
[ Reeve passes an opened scroll to Theodoric. Theodoric glances over it. ]

Theodoric of York: Let's see adultery. You were found guilty of theft and your right arm was cut off. Uh you were found guilty of lying and your tongue was cut out. Now adultery.

Bodega Bathroom & Career Day with Adam Driver as the oil Barron are going to be classics in the future.

While not a “skit” Mulaney & Davidson making fun of “The Mule” on weekend update is pretty epic too
