Gilda's "out-of-control brownie" was JUDY MILLER, star of "The JUDY MILLER Showwwwwwww"!
I haven't seen a TON of SNL skits, but definitely one of my personal favorites is the one with Tim Meadows trying to get a census report from Christopher Walken. I think it's on youtube somewhere...hilarious.
Elliot Mainway selling "Bag-O-Glass"!
Buck Henry's Uncle Roy, with the assorted candies in his pockets for children to "discover".
Gilda Radner's Summer Fizz the carbonated douche commercial!
Mr. Bill
Hmmm...I am not seeing my last post. I posted that I also liked the Schiller's Reel "La Dolce Gilda". Pretty classic SNL.
Also the No Coke, Pepsi diner. (Which is based on a diner here in Denver. I have actually been to it and it is pretty much like it is portrayed in the sketches)
Popular, that Debbie Downer sketch is hilarious. The just can't stop laughing!! Great stuff.
The Sweeney Sisters!

...with our very own Marc Shaiman on piano with his BRILLIANTLY hideous arrangements. So friggin' hilarious.

Gilda's douche was Autumn Fizz.
Gilda doing "Dancing In The Dark" with Steve Martin. Hilarious and, in retrospect, really moving.
Anything involving The Sweeney Sisters. Goddesses.
There was a one-off sketch with Alec Baldwin, where he played this impossible cowboy stud flirting up a storm with a waitress in a small town diner, with Jan Hooks as the waitress, that I still remember.
The Alec Baldwin "Canteen Boy" skit was pretty classic as well.

I also like the Digital Shorts, "(Bad Word) In a Box" in particular!

uncage - I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but the "cheezborger, cheezborger, no coke, pepsi" sketch was based on the legendary Billy Goat Tavern on Lower Michigan Avenue in Chicago. Ackroyd & Belushi used to go there regularly. It's a favorite hangout for newspaper writers, located near the Tribune and the old Sun-Times offices.

The Robert Goulet "Red Ships of Spain" skit.
Also, Alec Baldwin as Charles Nelson Reilly on ITAS.

Recently, the FIERCE TRANNY HOT MESS MAKEOVER SHOW with Amy Poehler as Christian Siriano and Amy Adams as Heidi Klum.
I met both Dana Carvey and Colin Quin. I'll explain both times for those interested.
Dana Carvey April 28th, 2003
He was doing a benefit at the Auditorium theatre here, in Chicago. My uncle was catering. I knew Dana not from SNL (I was only 9) But from the movie "Master Of Disguise". I went back to his dressing room after the benefit he was sitting back there and signed a Master Of Disguise DVD booklet and took a picture. It was amazing to do that, especially on a schoolnight.
Colin Quinn December 16th, 2004
He also, was doing a benefit. I was'nt aloud in, though. I met him afterwards, he signed an autogrpah and I told him my favorite sketch. He also signed an autograph for my friend at the time. She didn't really like SNL. I regret getting her that autograph due to the fact that she probally threw it away.
I love anything Chris Farley did, especially the Zaggat's guide thing with Adam Sandler. "Hear that Hank?" hehehe
