The Walken skits are all great. Call me old school, but the first thing that comes to mind are some of the old Ackroyd commercials (John Cleese once said Dan Ackroyd was about the only US comedian he truly respected, or something to that effect):
bassomatic (great for the fishingfolk on the site)
Julia Child (for the foodees):
Sorry about the hulu links, MC - I had to try them each a few times before they'd play right for me, so they're definitely still dealing with some kinks...
I can't find it anywhere online but the Buck Henry "Douche Bag" sketch was at one time the pinnacle of cutting edge comedy for the "Not Ready for Prime Time Players"
Justin Timberlake hosted SNL last weekend and the creative team that gave us the classic "D*ck in a Box" added their latest installment, "Motherlover":

I watched a good portion of the 40th anniversary special and I was reminded of how hilarious some of these were . I don't even remember the melding of episodes I actually watched on broadcast TV and those sketches I watched on the computer. For #1 I just have to go with More Cowbell (Must be outstanding if one of our NWHikers chose it for a name!) Group tie for #2 with Motivational Speaker and Alec Baldwin/NPR's Delicious Dish, Eddie Murphy's Mr. Rogers......and soooo many more.

The Motivational Speaker IS a great skit.
But I've long maintained that if the only
item on youtube was More Cowbell, creating youtube would have been a worthy endeavor.
