A more emotionally charged song than his ode to his car or Thanksgiving, Adam Sandler's SNL 50th anniversary song was a moving moment dedicated to the show and its cast.

During Sunday's show, the comedian and SNL cast member during the '90s played a tribute to the general shenanigans of being on the show, from cue card mess-ups to prank-calling a New York Magazine critic. But despite the jokes, it's a generally heartfelt nod to 50 years of a show that gave Sandler (and so many more stars) his break.

A piece of shit car, this is not.
