This one cracks me up every time.

It’s really hard to narrow it down to just one. There are probably close to a hundred over the years that might be my favorite on any given day.
One that I think is very underrated is Louis CK as Abraham Lincoln. It was genius on multiple levels. I can’t find a copy that I can embed, but here’s a link:
“Maybe one of them did it”
Other favorites off the top of my head (I’ll add some links later):
Peyton Manning United Way
William Shatner Star Trek convention
The Sinatra Group
Men’s Synchronized Swimming
Cowbell

This one wasn’t particularly funny and it was a blatant ripoff of John Byner, but it’s one of my favorites because Sharon Stone was so freaking hot then.
Of all time? That’s tough as there’s a lot of really good ones but none that approach the true greatness of Key and Peele, I think you should leave or Chappelle show.
For those I prefer the more complex skits, meanwhile SNL seldom gets nuanced or complex right. That‘s why to me their funniest are short one note things like Astronaut Jones. Where it’s just an elaborate setup and full length intro and outro music sandwiching just a short segment of “LET ME SEE DEM SPACE TITTIES”.

Lord and lady douchebag.
Actually probably Julian bond on black perspective with Garrett Morris. Comedy that couldn’t be done today.

So many good ones over the years, but John Belushi Little Chocolate Donuts was the first thing that came to mind.
Technically not a skit, but I love Downey’s commitment to overexplaining the concept.
Was going to post this. Love Farley and Spade and prime turbo hottie Christina Applegate. Spade and Applegate trying not to laugh always gets me. In fact I love the skits when a true pro SNL icon gets the cast to break.
Bad idea jeans.

It could never be made today...and never could be made back then without Richard Pryor.
