One of my favorite SNL players of all time is Norm McDonald (before he became a conservative christian). I loved his sardonic take on the news and when in sketches, he often played the guy who didn't realize he was in a comedy sketch. He's a terrible actor, but that just adds to the humor.
A couple years ago I was looking for this video with no success. It's one of my favorites. I found it on YouTube, so here you go. Norm's reactions kill me.
I also appreciate that this is the kind of SNL sketch where the premise isn't immediately obvious (similar to the Cowbell Sketch or Diner Lobster), but once the audience catches on, it gets progressively funnier.
And yes, that's Robert Downey, Jr., Iron Man himself, as the other main guy.
