The 10 Best Kristen Wiig 'SNL' Characters, Ranked

The 10 Best Kristen Wiig "SNL" Characters, Ranked

Kristen Wiig is responsible for some hilariously memorable characters, and we thought it was time to revisit some of our favorites. AND we’re ranking ‘em from best to worst. You're welcome, Kristen!

10. Suze Orman

We're pretty sure the real Suze Orman has never advised people to make their own maxi pads. And that's why Wiig's version is superior.

9. Bjork

Wiig didn’t do this wonderfully bizarre character often, but when she did -- we peed our pants with joy. Was that an overshare?

8. Kat (of Kat and Garth)

Fred Armisen and Wiig usually break while performing as hilariously unprepared duo Kat and Garth, and that makes us LOL.

7. Kathie Lee Gifford

Wiig’s impression of everyone’s favorite wine-drinking TV host is so spot-on, we actually prefer it to the real thing.

6. Karina ('The Californians')

You don't have to be from California to appreciate Karina and her directionally-obsessed friends and family. It's just extra funny if you are. The 405 really is always jammed!

5. Gilly

Don't listen to a thing she says. Gilly is not sorry, you guys.

4. Surprise Party Sue

If you’re planning a surprise, do yourself a favor and don’t tell Sue.

3. Penelope

Everyone knows a Penelope. And if you don’t, then we hate to break it to you, but YOU’RE THE PENELOPE. Stop it, you’re super annoying.

2. Target Lady

A sketch about an over-eager employee at our favorite store ever? God bless you, Kristen Wiig.

1. Dooneese

Our-all time favorite Wiig character has to be Dooneese, hands down. And no, that's not a small hands joke. But those are pretty great, too.
