It is widely known that the digital short segments are the only redeeming part of the currently broadcast Saturday Night Live episodes. With that in mind, I have compiled a list of my top 10 favorite digital shorts of the total 63 for no other reason than it was a boring Sunday and I felt like watching webvids instead of developing my intellect.
