I'm only going by cast recordings since I've never seen FB, but I listened to "Gagtime" many times before I saw Ragtime, then played it for my mom when we got home from Ragtime and she LOVED IT...and I laughed much, much more than before. Also, I didn't like Ragtime anyway. re: Favorite Forbidden Broadway Parody

Gagtime is hilarious.
And the Les Mis one ("Eponine went over the barrier were she got..." "Pregnant??" "shot.").
Into the Words is great too.
Oh, and the Assassins one.

I haven't heard the ones from this season, though =(
<--- me & Erin Davie =) omigod, omigod you guys...

I'd have to go with "And I'm Telling You, I'm not Singing" and the masterpiece of "Edie Falco in 'night Mother'".

I love the Wicked one...

Idina.. give the tony to me..
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

I can't believe more people haven't said "Squeaky Todd".

I could barely keep myself in my seat I was laughing so hard.

God, I wish I could just go back in time and see all of the FBs. I love so many on the cast recordings.
One time, Patti LuPone punched me in the face...

I was DYING in my seat laughing so hard from The Light in the Piazza sketch and the recent Sweeney Todd revival getting lampooned.

I didn't get to see the Piazza sketch, and it seems to have been left off the newest mounting, much to my chagrin. "It's Cheesy" (Aida) makes me laugh.

A million years ago, I was quite partial to "Just You Wait Julie Andrews" and "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Singing"

Unfortunately, I've never gotten to see it live, but based off of recordings:

Joseph and the Amazing High C - "Give them a TV star, a naked TV star..." [possibly made funnier because Donnie Osmond was my first Joseph]
The Guys and Dolls Sequence
Cheesy as Cats
all the collective Les Mis parodies - thelong sequence and More Miserable

Oh what I wouldn't give to see it live...

The "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" parody was hilarious!! I also loved the Kathleen Turner/Cherry Jones bit... too bad those 2 never got recorded...

I looove "Ouch, They're tight!" because whomever it is has Daphne's vocal inflections down pat. I always crack up at "So I'll use this BAR, and hump it like some porno star!"

Actually, all the RENT parodies are pretty spot on.

But I think "Chita-Rita" or "Liza-One Note" are my favorites of all time.

Les Miz, hands down. To see them going around on the imaginary spinning stage and "you'll be releved when I GET SHOT."

"this song's too high....."

From what I've seen:
Light in the Piazza - The "Italy for Dummies" book, the way they walked out, the leaves, the hook, Clara... I was literally crying I was laughing so hard

Squeaky Todd - When they started playing the instruments and trying to sing at the same time... I almost fell out of the seat

I love listening to "Liza One Note" and the beginning of the Patti Lupone "Anything Goes" skit.

I get really sick of the Carol Channing numbers. The first one was hysterical, after that they get annoying, though her appearance in the Welcome to the Tonys spoof was quite funny.

Cats spoofs are hilarious too.
