Here's a couple of quiet character-driven pieces from SNL's forgotten years (1980-85). The first is from season 7 and features two couples having dinner, until one realizes their celibacy was all a misunderstanding.
The other is from an excellent season 9 episode with future castmember Billy Crystal... he's not in this particular sketch about a couple who used to shelter people in their attic during World War II. A number of excerpts from this episode are posted here.
Note that Tim Kazurinsky features in both sketches, an under-rated bright spot during the first half of the 1980s.
