The 5 Best Harry Styles 'SNL' Skits Ranked in Order of Amazingness
The 5 Best Harry Styles 'SNL' Skits Ranked in Order of Amazingness
Harry Styles isn't just a super-talented singer. He also has a knack for comedy, which fans have discovered over the years thanks to the former One Direction member's various appearances on Saturday Night Live.
This weekend, the "Lights Up" singer will be pulling double duty as host and musical performer on the famous NBC comedy show. His stint on SNL coincides with his recent announcement that he'll be hitting the road for a 2020 world tour called "Love on Tour."
While we anxiously await to see the chaotic hilarity SNL and Harry have cooked up for us this Saturday evening, take a look back at some of the British vocalist's most epic moments on the show, ranked in order of awesomeness. It'll be hard for Harry to top his Mick Jagger impression or awkward dance moves on the Girlfriends Talk Show, but we're sure he'll bring his A-game this coming weekend — after all, he's a natural comedian.
5) 'SNL' Opening with Jimmy Fallon, April 2017
Over two years ago, the Tonight show host and former One Direction bandmate teamed up for Jimmy's musical SNL opening. While Jimmy parades around the halls of the studio, Harry pops up and immediately begins grooving to the music and playing off of the talk show host's energy. Because the encounter was so brief, we can't say this is our all-time favorite moment ... but his dance moves alone earn him a spot on the list.

4) Paul Rudd Is One Direction's #1 Fan, December 2013
Paul really made this a sketch to remember (but Harry deserves credit, too!). In it, Paul plays Dan Charles, a One Direction enthusiast who takes his fandom super seriously — like, to the point of getting into arguments with pre-teen girls. When Harry asks Dan who he should sign an autograph for, Dan lies and pretends it's for his daughter. The short skit finishes with the entire British band using the super fan's back to sign their names, which Dan is more than okay with.
3) Girlfriends Talk Show, December 2014
For this skit, Harry and the rest of One Direction dressed up as high-school dancers — tracksuits and all. While talking with Morgan (Aidy Bryant), Kyra (Cecily Strong), and the dance squad captain (Amy Adams), Harry and the other members cracked jokes while busting a few moves. Harry was especially memorable, since all he did was wave his arms around while somehow keeping a straight face.

2) Civil War Union Soldiers, April 2017
It's almost always funny when something goes awry on SNL. Despite Harry's fake beard starting to peel off while he belted out a number with Jimmy Fallon, Beck Bennett, Alex Moffat, and Mikey Day, the singer stayed in character and didn't even try to fix his faux facial hair on camera. Though Harry handled it like a total pro, the wardrobe mishap definitely makes this skit hilarious.

1) Celebrity Feud: Time Travel Edition, April 2017
Hands down, Harry's most iconic moment on the sketch series so far is when he appeared on the recurring Celebrity Feud skit and impersonated Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger from the year 1977. Everything from Harry's exaggerated movements and shoulder-length locks to his voice was spot on, all of which prompted lots of laughs from the studio audience. Truly, you won't be able to keep a straight face when Harry utters the words "hanky panky." It's actually impossible.
The former One Direction singer has always crushed it on Saturday Night Live.
