Debbie Downer is a name of a fictional Saturday Night Live character who debuted in 2004, and who was portrayed by Rachel Dratch.
The character's name, Debbie Downer, is a slang phrase which refers to someone who frequently adds bad news and negative feelings to a gathering, thus bringing down the mood of everyone around them. Dratch's character would usually appear at social gatherings and interrupt the conversation to voice negative opinions and pronouncements. She is especially concerned about the rate of feline AIDS, a subject that she would bring up on more than one occasion saying it was the number one killer of domestic cats.
The first appearance of Debbie Downer was on May 1, 2004 with guest host Lindsay Lohan. Debbie and five family members—played by Lohan, Jimmy Fallon, Dratch, Amy Poehler, Fred Armisen and Horatio Sanz—are eating breakfast at a restaurant in Walt Disney World. While the family makes small talk, Debbie makes negative comments on current events followed by a knowing look at the camera and a cartoonish "wah-wah" sound made by a muted trombone.
Saturday Night Live (abbreviated as SNL) is an American late-night live television sketch comedy and variety show created by Lorne Michaels and developed by Dick Ebersol. The show premiered on NBC on October 11, 1975, under the original title NBC's Saturday Night. The show's comedy sketches, which parody contemporary culture and politics, are performed by a large and varying cast of repertory and newer cast members. Each episode is hosted by a celebrity guest (who usually delivers an opening monologue and performs in sketches with the cast) and features performances by a musical guest. An episode normally begins with a cold open sketch that ends with someone breaking character and proclaiming, "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!", properly beginning the show.
In 1980, Michaels left the series to explore other opportunities. He was replaced by Jean Doumanian, who was replaced by Ebersol after a season of bad reviews. Ebersol ran the show until 1985, when Michaels returned; Michaels has remained since then. Many of SNL's cast found national stardom while appearing on the show, and achieved success in film and television, both in front of and behind the camera. Others associated with the show, such as writers, have gone on to successful careers creating, writing, or starring in TV and film.

Mid term project for CMAN 272 Mental Health Patterns class at Loyola University Chicago. Class participants: Jonelle Davis, Julie Scheidler & Hailey Weber. Presented in this skit is our recent fictitious NMH ED --> psych inpatient client, a 26 year old female, Ms. Debbie Downer (Deb, for short). Deb was brought into the ED by her mother because Deb attempted suicide by overdosing on her mother's morphine pills. During the initial interview with the ED nurse, Deb admits to auditory hallucinations that told her to attempt suicide. She also had several other life stressors (you'll have to watch the video to find those out and see much, much more!) that presumably influenced her decision to attempt suicide. Also making a cameo in this skit is her mother, Ms. Downer -- one can see as th...

Stitching ramblings where I attempt to touch all my old WIPs in the second half of Stitch Maynia. Also a finish, and lots of kitty goodness. And where I'm kind of a Debbie Downer at the end and completely forget to mention the GA stitching meetup at Joann Fabrics the Friday prior. Lots of fun.
