Always Be Cobbling still puts a huge smile on my face. As well as Sanz, Fallon, Katan, and Morgan's holiday songs. I know most people hate those guys, but they always cracked me up. And of course, Hartman as Frankenstein mumbling holiday classics is pure gold.

It's not that she "gets" garbage, Wiig pitches these characters. She has a whole slew of annoying sketches ( I listed a bunch in the main SNL thread) in which her characters have an annoying tic or saying, and Wiig just repeats the tic or saying over and over again. My skin crawls every time she's on screen in anticipation of how annoying she's gonna be. It's a shame because, like you said, she's generally pretty funny outside of the show.
The Gilly sketch has been aired several times, often as the show opener, which suggests Lorne and the writers deem it the best of the night. It's mind boggling that this is what they consider funny.
