I'm Chillin' was a recurring sketch during the early 1990s starring Chris Rock as Onski and Chris Farley as B-Fats. It was a sort of rap/hip-hop themed, cable-access style show filmed "Live from the Marci Projects". Don Pardo would announce the start of the show as well as any prizes won by viewers who wrote in. The sketch appeared a total of 7 times, but only 6 with both Farley and Rock.
Onski would start the show off every time with the same little rap: "I'm your host Onski, to the highest degree, to the T-O-P, yo it's all about me!" He would then introduce his cohost B-Fats, but this rhyme varied from episode to episode. One example: "Sittin' by my side is my main man, the dapper rapper, the toe-tapper, the Frank Zappa, the girl in his lappa, the wine from the Napa, and I know a brother like you shops at the Gap-a! It's B-Fats!".
He would also ask B how he was feeling and would be met with a rhyme, different in each episode: "Yo B, yo B, yo B, tell 'em how you feel!" "Yo I'm chillin' like Bob Dylan and I'm killin' like penicillin!"
There would also be a new sponsor every week, usually an urban-themed made-up product (e.g. Bullet Hole Tampons, 168th St. Spring Water, F'ed Up Malt Liquor).
This sketch also featured a "Mother Joke of the Day" submitted by viewers. The viewer who sent in the joke, read by Onski, would win a prize announced by Don Pardo.
At the end of every show, the co-hosts would say (sometimes a variation on) this rhyme: "Remember always wipe and stay off the pipe, and if a sucker gets ill, tell 'em I'm chillin'." When varied, the "if a sucker gets ill" part would become "if someone gets in your face." Sometimes Onski delivered this rhyme solo, but sometimes he and B-Fats alternated lines.
This sketch also featured Tim Meadows twice, once playing Flavor Flav and once again as the winning viewer's baby's father.
During Chris Rock's first hosting appearance, this sketch was brought back. However, since Chris Farley had already left the show, they replaced his character with one named B-Real, that is played by Jim Breuer.
