31 Day SNL Challenge: Favorite Character from the 1980s

I know Garth is probably seen as more of a character from the nineties rather than the eighties, thanks in large part to the two Wayne's World movies in 1992 and 1993, respectively, but thanks to five Wayne's World appearances in 1989 (and the 1980s as a whole), I'm counting him as a 1980s character! Wayne Campbell (Mike Myers), the lead of Wayne's World, is undoubtedly more noteworthy, but it's Dana Carvey's Garth Algar that stands out for me. His blithe innocence, genuine sense of humor (and sense of purpose at that), and happy-go-lucky attitude makes me adore every one of his lines. Schwing!

  1. Good pick. Definitely one of Carvey's best characters. Way!
