The Land Shark (also land shark, landshark, LandShark) was a recurring character from the sketch comedy television series Saturday Night Live. The character first appeared during the show's debut season in the fall of 1975 as a response to the release of the film Jaws and the subsequent hysteria over purported shark sightings. It was one of the most popular and imitated sketches of SNL first season, and appeared occasionally in later seasons.

Though the Land Shark character appeared only irregularly on Saturday Night Live, it has entered the American cultural zeitgeist. References to a "land shark" (often preceded by the word "candygram") can be found in movies, print, video games, and other places. Often it is spelled as a solid compound, that is, as one word. In many forms of fiction, it is used as a name or nickname to a land dwelling monster similar in appearance, temperament, or appetite to a shark. Jimmy Buffett's 1979 song "Fins" is based on the concept of "sharks that live on the land" preying on young women; in this case, the land sharks are in fact pick up artists swarming in resort towns. Land Shark Lager was later named after the Buffett song. BMW featured the Land Shark (taken verbatim from the original skit) in a commercial for the Z4 in 2003. In the 1993 movie Striking Distance, Bruce Willis' character says "Landshark" shortly before knocking out a drug dealer on a boat. In the computer game Warcraft III, the unit quotes for the Goblin Sappers include "Candygram", "Package for (mumble)", and "Flowers for (mumble)". In a 1989 episode of Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers titled "A Case of Stage Blight", an alligator with theatrical ambitions named "Sewernose de Bergerac" attempts to get an actor named Dudley to open the door to his dressing room with announcements of "Flowers", "Candygram", and finally "Singing telegram". The members of professional wrestling team D Generation X announced themselves as a "candygram" and "land shark" as they attempted to get Jonathan Coachman to open a locked door on the October 2, 2006 episode of RAW. In the video game Sins of the Fathers, protagonist Gabriel Knight attempts to gain access to a character's home by using various door to door sales tactics. When none of these are successful, he shouts "Landshark!" — to which the resident replies, apparently mistaking which SNL actor actually played the creature in question, "You are no Bill Murray." In the 2000 video game Escape from Monkey Island, protagonist Guybrush Threepwood yells "Landshark!" when he sees shark jaw bones on an island shore. The reputation for references to popular culture in the series makes it quite probable that this is allusion to the SNL skit. In The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius episode "Return of the Nanobots", the Nanobots attempted to get into Jimmy's lab. Carl asked who was at the door and the Nanobots replied he had a telegram. Carl responded by saying that he wasn't falling for it, whereupon the Nanobots changed their offer to a llamagram (for which Carl proceed to open the door, only to get deleted by the Nanobots). In the movie Hoodwinked, the Wolf knocks on the door while saying "Hello, paper boy! Publisher's, uh Candygram!" In the game Dead to Rights 2, Jack Slate is asked to identify himself to a guard through a door, to which he replies "Landshark." and kicks in the door. In the 2008 movie August featuring Josh Hartnett, Hartnett's character is proprietor of a failing tech company called LandShark; he utilizes various sleights and ruses in attempt to gain clients and financing for his company. In the comic book Iron Man #138, Jim Rhodes and Tony Stark are sneaking into the compound of a company controlled by the Maggia when they duck into a room to avoid security guards. Unfortunately, the room is filled with thugs who demand to know who they are. Rhodes replies, "Uh, candygram for Mr. Mongo?" and Tony adds, "Land Shark?" In the beginning of the ninth episode of season 6 of the Gilmore Girls, Lorelai is locked out of her house by a security chain recently installed by her friend Luke. As she waits for him to open the front door to her house, she says, "Landshark! Candygram Here's Johnny!" as an homage to both the SNL skit — and also to a scene from the Shining which itself referenced The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. In Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Abraham Lincoln is interrupted in the White House by a knock at his office door and someone saying, "Candygram." When Lincoln answers the door, he is grabbed suddenly by Genghis Khan. A picture of a land shark was etched into an Analog Devices AD1939 codec chip as chip art. The original name for the 90s western horror comedy cult classic Tremors was titled 'Land Shark', but it was renamed to 'Tremors' as the crew was worried that they would most likely get a lawsuit from SNL.
