The Best SNL Digital Shorts

Everyone's humor is different, so I'm sure people will argue with me about the top of the list, but I think we can all agree on the bottom, right? Some of these sketches just didn't work in any context. I put "Space Olympics" at the bottom, since that was a horrific sketch despite happening during the season premiere, when everyone had had plenty of time to come up with some good ideas. Therefore, I feel that was the least forgivable.

Jonathan and I have talked about the idea of "batting averages" in sketch comedy before: about 1 in ever 3 SNL sketches is good. A bad SNL show has maybe one good skit among six, a good one has 3 or so (and no awful sketches). The Digital Shorts have a higher batting average: two out of every three shorts are pretty good, and they hit a home run maybe four or five times a year.

This is a list of every Digital Short, ever, with only a few exceptions (about three or four were played and then never seen again, for whatever reason), so I have to figure this list is as comprehensive as any you'll find on the internet.
