He is best known for his Deep Thoughts, a large body of surrealistic one-liner jokes, as well as his \"Fuzzy Memories\" and \"My Big Thick Novel\" shorts. Although many people assume otherwise, Handey is a real person, not a pen name or a character.<\/p>\n<p>Between 1991 and 1998, Saturday Night Live included Deep Thoughts on the show as an interstitial segment between sketches. Introduced by Phil Hartman and read live by Handey (neither actually appeared on screen), the one-liners proved to be extremely popular. Hartman would intone \"And now, Deep Thoughts, by Jack Handey...\", and peaceful easy listening music would play while the screen showed soothing pastoral scenes, much like a New Age relaxation video. Handey would then read the Deep Thought as the text to it scrolled across the screen. They became an enduring feature of SNL, often having multiple Thoughts in each episode, and made Handey a well-known name.<\/p>\n<p>These are some of my favorites as some are so bizzare! \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-6618-0-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-features panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-features so-widget-sow-features-default-edb4a4f7045b-6618\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><ul\n\tclass=\"sow-features-list\n\tsow-features-responsive\">\n\n\t\t\t<li\n\t\t\tclass=\"sow-features-feature sow-icon-container-position-top\"\n\t\t\tstyle=\"display: flex;
