Best digital short is Taco Town. I was in tears when that first aired. It just kept getting more and more ridiculous!

There is a skit I saw in a rerun on Comedy Central when I was in my dorm (Beyer Hall). It was from the mid-80's era when Billy Crystal and Martin Short et al were on. They were playing WWII soldiers storming a house and they had to get upstairs. Billy Crystal orders Martin Short to get to the second floor but soon realizes he can't climb stairs after several efforts in vain because, as Short states, "it never came up" in his life. Just try to visualize Martin Short attempting to climb stairs and failing miserably.

Has anyone else seen this skit? I have never seen it since that day, but it may be the funniest thing I've seen on SNL.

Also already mentioned: Massive Headwound Harry, Belushi's impersonation of Joe Cocker. Great stuff.

I'll add to the list...

Rachel Dratch:

Debbie Downer

Qterplix, a rejected X-Men character, said to be the love child of Angelina Jolie and her brother. Constant gross drooling, and baby arm sticking out of her head.

I am not that old and I am surprised how new all of these skits are that are posted.
Some that come to mind right away are:
James Brown Celebrity Hot Tub
Synchronized Swimming Training
Chico Escuela "Bad Stuff 'Bout the Mets"

Don't remember the specifics, but Chris Farley and David Hyde Pierce (and others) are in colonial times and are very prim and propper, out for a lovely stroll in the winter weather. Suddenly Farley falls through the ice...

"SON OF A B...."
"Oh no, whatever shall we do sir?"
"Whatever shall we do!?! SAVE ME YOU STUPID WH*RE!!!"

Is this the one that had the warning, "Do not place in mouth or rectum"?

I forgot about the Bill Brasky skits too. Those were great.

"Brasky's family crest is a barracuda eating Neil Armstrong."
