    Get a life was by far the best.

    You know, I didn't see that 1992 Trek Convention Presidential Debate.

    I still prefer the classic Akroyd/Belushi sketch, followed by Shatner's "Get A Life!" sketch (which to this day still anger those obsessive-compulsive Trek fans), and Patrick Stewart's "Love Boat: The Next Generation" sketch.
    Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...

    I voted for the Shatner one as well. It's just too honest and funny not to win.

    Shatner's. True. And the only one to later spawn a book.

    Although I think the geek level as displayed in that sketch was a LITTLE exagerrated. I've never seen anyone drooling at a Star Trek convention, except a couple of babies. Nor have I ever seen an "I grok Spock" T-shirt or anyone actually wearing the oversized Spock Ears.

    First of Two, who's BEEN to a convention, DRESSED in the uniform, and has done considerably more than 'ever kissed a girl.' Many times.

    Well, of course it's exaggerated! It wouldn't be nearly as funny without it. Although I wouldn't say it was too exaggerated. I mean, some of the convention-goers here in the State of Confusion truly frighten me.

    Truly great. A surprise to get SNL's old episodes around these latitudes, too. I enjoyed many of those sketches, but "Get A Life" with Shatner was tops.
