If you love Saturday Night Live as much as I do, then you know what skits are commonly known as the best. I have been watching SNL for years now and every time I find myself laughing till there are legit tears in my eyes.

If you watch SNL religiously like I do, then I'm sure you will 100 percent agree with these top-ranked skits. And live from New York . . . here are the top 10 best SNL skits.

1. The CaliforniansI've only been to California once in my life, but every time I see this skit I understand the humor. Bill Hader and Fred Armison know how to take on the role of a Californian to a key.

"Wuut are you doing here????" will never get old. This is the only so-called soap opera you will every catch me watching.

2. Back Home BallersThis skit seems to relate best to us college students every time we go home. When we come back from school after weeks of being hours away, we feel like were walking on a red carpet up to our front door.

Especially when we want our favorite home cooked meals, it is guaranteed that it will be made. "If I say, 'Mom, tacos!' My mom will make tacos."

3. Dick In A BoxYes--this skit is done by Justin Timberlake, which automatically makes it amazing. But it is also hilarious and weirdly attractive.

His three simple steps of how to create this contraption has made it one of the most well-known SNL skits. "1. Cut a hole in the box. 2.Put your junk in that box. 3. Make her open the box. And that's the way you do it."

4. StefonPersonally, this sketch is one of my all time favorites because of how Bill Hader tries to encourage people to go to the newest and "cool" clubs. "'This place has everything: Trance, stilts, throw-up music, an albino that looks like Susan Powter, Teddy Graham people.' 'Teddy Graham people? It's that thing of when a guy has the stumpy arms, but with the belly.'"

He makes these crazy comparisons that make absolutely no sense but will ensure a crowd of laughter. And the best part is when he breaks character because his own jokes are just that funny.

5. Garth and KatWhether they are making up a song about Valentine's Day Or Hanukkah, Kristen Wiig and Fred Armison know how to keep crowd cracking up with their matching outfits and ridiculous lyrics.

This skit always seems to relate to college students the best because they are never prepared for literally anything and make it all up as they go.

6. The Kissing FamilyThis is possibly the most uncomfortable skit that SNL has ever made. Every time the family gathers together, they greet each other with an intense make-out session.

Yes, I said the parents and their kids actually make-out with each other. So weird, yet so amusing . . .

7. GillyOf course, another all time favorite by Kristen Wiig. Her awkwardness and ability to cause chaos in every situation possible reminds me of my middle school self.

And after every thing wrong she does, her response always ends with, "Sorry" with an extremely uncomfortable smirk. Gotta love Kristen Wiig and her ability to take on any character to a tee.

8. The Lawrence Welk ShowOnce again, Kristen Wiig takes away the stage with this one. She plays the odd sister of the family, Dooneese, who has abnormally small baby arms and tries to pop bubbles with her dinosaur looking arms.

The other "normal" sisters try to sing a nice medley, and then it takes a 180 when Dooneese comes in reckless.

9. Matt Foley Motivational SpeakerThis skit is definitely a classic done by Chris Farley. In "Down By The River" he speaks to some young teens about how his life is pretty much awful.

His famous quote is, "First off I am 35 years old, I am divorced, and I live IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER." His unfortunate life story is hilarious and the other actors always struggle to keep a straight face. He pretty much tells them that their life is going nowhere and they will one day live in a van too.

10. Weekend UpdateThe weekend update is a mock news show that talks about the most ridiculous news that is happening currently, and try to make a joke out of it.

Of course after the election of Trump as our president, they are having a ton of fun making fun of anything they can possible about him.
