I'm sure some of these have been mentioned already but in my eyes, these are the must-see, unquestionably brilliant sketches of SCTV:

That's why SCTV is brilliant, not only would they do a ridiculously specific joke based entirely around MacArthur Park, they would do it for 6 minutes! They were not afraid to do material that 98% of the audience wouldn't fully get if they knew that the remaining 2% would know how perfect what they were doing was.

TRACKLISTING FOR THE TERROR ANNOUNCED:

The online entries for Best Picture have been tallied:

EXT. DEB'S PATIO - DAY

EXT. DEB'S PATIO - DAY

Yes! This was one of the most ineptly edited episodes of a major TV show I've ever seen. The establishing shots were either insane - the shaky boat cam outside Dex's apartment for no reason whatsoever - or non-existent; they would jump cut from one scene to another without any sense of continuity or contextualization.

A Correction to the Qix Reference
It's actually not Qix, it's an even obscurer reference. The line is "running home after school to play PIX"; PIX TV was a show on New York TV in which kids would phone in and play like a video game. You can read more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik…
