Gay Hitler (Chris Kattan) was a character loosely based on a theory described in German historian Lothar Machtan's book The Hidden Hitler , which attempts to prove that Adolf Hitler was a homosexual. The flamboyant Hitler character was known for the catchphrase "Sprechen Sie dick?" Gay Hitler was the author of the fictional autobiography Mein Boyfriend, a satire of Hitler's actual autobiography Mein Kampf . Gay Hitler also appeared as Speed Skating Hitler, rendering the Sieg Heil salute repeatedly as he skated in place. Debuted October 13, 2001.
A scene in the film Step Brothers shows fellow SNL cast member Will Ferrell dressed as Nazi asking the antagonist "Sprechen sie dick?".
A Rachel Dratch sketch. Debuted November 3, 2001.
An HBO show, similar to Fox's COPS series, where a white trash couple (played by Amy Poehler and Chris Kattan) fist fight and police (or other authority figures) are called in to break them up. Debuted November 3, 2001.
Drunk Girl was played by Jeff Richards between 2001 and 2003. Her eyes are always squinted shut and she has shoulder-length blonde hair, and often a bared midriff. Debuted December 8, 2001.

A Tracy Morgan sketch. Debuted February 2, 2002.
A Jimmy Fallon sketch. Debuted February 2, 2002.
An Amy Poehler sketch. Debuted March 2, 2002. Amber was "rockin' one leg" (as she described it) -Poehler held one leg up behind her body so it would appear to have been amputated at the knee. She was impatient, bitchy, vulgar, dirty (literally "dirty" in that her clothes were covered with grime and she appeared not to bathe very often), and just generally obnoxious and gross. She saw herself as extremely sexy and desirable. Her catchphrase was, "Yeah, I farted. Jealous?!" Occasionally, another similarly boorish behavior would be substituted for "I farted". Apparently due to hypoglycemia, she would continuously munch on some unhealthy snack, usually a fatty fried food like french fries or potato chips throughout each sketch. The male characters in each sketch tended to appreciate her self-confidence, but fell well short of agreeing that she was sexy or desirable. She would never win the various beauty/popularity based contests that she would enter.
Appearances:
The Ferey Muthar Talk Show was a very short-lived sketch on SNL, appearing only twice (season 27 on the March 16, 2002, episode hosted by Ian McKellen and again on the season 28 episode hosted by Nia Vardalos).
