I think Parnell is great I wish they hadn't fired him, he was one of the few reasons I still watched the show. The cast now is decent, but it won't be the same without Parnell.
Now Horatio Sanz - That guy was terrible and probably deserved to be let go. He had his moments, but they generally were just points where a skit was so ridiculous that he couldn't maintain character (which was usually). -

Merv The Perv and those loser brothers with Jimmy Fallon were hilarious, but this guy basically just talks in a deep voice and calls it a character. What an underachieving player. I got sick of his boring-ass fast. Goodbye.

Parnell deserves credit for being one of the only cast members in SNL history to NEVER break character. Even in the legendary Blue Oyster Cult sketch, the absurd Doctor sketch with Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon, and 'Cork-soakers' with Janet Jackson, he always remained in character as others around him broke into hysterics. He is one of the best 'straight men' the show has ever seen as well. I cannot fathom how anyone can 'hate' him.

EXACTLY! I hate how some people dislike the straight man simply because he isn't the one being insane. Chris Parnell played an important role in grounding the sketch so that we can still relate to it. Without him and actors like him, none of the sketches would be funny to those with half a brain. Maybe the topic creator needs to go back to watching his cartoons.

Worst? Really? Reeeaaaally? Just from the same same era: Colin Quinn, really? Chris Kattan, reaally? Jimmy Fallon, reeeaaaally? They are so obviously bad it's not even funny, no pun intended, but they are obviously not funny.
You, and other people not liking Chris Parnell clearly have no taste, and furthermore, have never se111cen "Farm Sluts". Look it up.
On a similar but separate note: Bill Hader is the best SNL has to offer today. -

If you're referring to his Weekend Update rapping stuff where he rapped about the female hosts that week that he wanted to bone, he did those years befor2000e "Lazy Sunday" existed. Samberg and his comedy group (The Lonely Island) got Parnell to work on "Lazy Sunday" with them because he was the only other cast member besides Samberg who had "mad rap skillz" (Im so white)

Actually, I think you are awful for starting this thread. Did Chris Parnell kick your dog or something like that? Have you ever even met him? What possible reason could you have to dislike someone you don't even know? Begone.
