Fillory in the magicians trilogy by Lev Grossman is fantastic.

As The Stomach Turns. It was a classic parody of soap operas on The Carol Burnett show, and as someone from that era i can vouch that it was a pretty spot on parody, at least from what i saw on tv when staying home sick from school.
The Dick Van Dike show is a great one.
The Marvelous Misses Maisel
The game from the startreck like episode on BlackMirror and Sword Art Online! Both are arguably great.
The twilight zone episode about the podcast and the airplane is amazing too.
Surprised that no one has mentioned Vegemorphs from PBS's Arthur yet.
Good Morning Glipglorp! From the Androids and Aliens podcast by the Glass Cannon Network. It was a random bit of world-building that the players latched on to and ran with and it turned into a whole episode.
Mrs. Albert Hannaday from The Office
There's so much in Infinite Jest, but I think my favourite would be "Blood Sister: One Tough Nun".
Galaxy Quest the Show inside Galaxy Quest the Movie
I really like Fire and Blood.
I didn't see this one in the list, but UNN newscast from Starcraft 2 is one of my favorites! Particularly Donny Vermillion.
Mr Potato from Peppa Pig
Do the Justice Friends from Dexter's Lab count?
