Yesterday over on Pajiba, I ranked my 15 favorite Saturday Night Live sketches of 2012 (MAINE JUSTICE!), a list that was quite a bit different from Flavorwire’s ten best sketches, as well as Hitfix’s 10 best sketches of the year. Comedy is subjective, so 100 people ranking Saturday Night Live sketches are likely to come up with 100 different lists.
However, we can tell what were the most popular sketches of the season, objectively, as Hulu has revealed the five most viewed skits of the season, three of which did land on my list.
Here they are:
5. “The Girl You Wish You Hadn’t Started a Conversation With at a Party” — Seth welcomes the girl you wish you hadn’t started a conversation with at a party and gets some obtuse answers to questions about the 2012 election.
4. “Puppet Class” — The instructor of a puppet class has a hard time getting one of his pupils to step outside of his comfort zone.
3. “Lazy Sunday 2″ — Parn and Samberg are back.
2. “Undecided Voter” — The 2012 election is going to come down to the undecided voters, a group of people that have some very important questions.
1. “Disney Housewives” — Housewives of Disney aren’t quite the princesses you met in their films long ago.

Maine Justice!
I’m kind of surprised that Mokiki isn’t on there. I thought that one had golden age Digital Short legs.
I assume it’s partly because it’s not as easy to describe to people when you’re recommending videos for friends to watch. It’s easy to say, “hey, watch the sequel to Lazy Sunday!” or “this one video is about a war vet in a puppet class”… Mokiki is awesome though
I loved the Puppet Class one. But like Patty, I’m surprised Mokiki wasn’t on the list, i figured the viral sensation might have carried it to frequent views.
I’ve probably watched the puppet sketch at least 30 times.
I’m fine with a hundred people having a hundred lists, just as long as The Californians isn’t on any of them.
The gag reel is the only Californians thing worth watching and that’s good only once.
Where’s Lincoln!?
I would like to get drunk with Kristen Wig.
HAH Jasmine had sex with Iago the parrot. That was pretty funny.
The puppet sketch started out like it was going to be funny, but when they started to make out it killed it for me.
Why so angry, Jiggly Puff? Your parents ground you or something?
The iPhone 5 skit should easily be #1
This is the worst list ever.
