My personal favourite ST parody is the Carol Burnett one, where the 
Enterprise flies through the Estrogena cloud (or some such) and turns 
the crew female--except for Uhura, of course, who becomes a man, 
complete with big hair and sexy miniskirt.  Carol as James looked 
splendid an atomic weapon-like bra no original series guest actress 
could be without, and Spock (Andrea Martin) becomes premenstrual.  I 
haven't seen this sketch for almost 10 years, but just thinking about 
it still makes me laugh.

Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders also did a good ST spoof which was 
based on the O.J. Simpson trial.  This one gets shown on British TV 
every few years, thankfully.  Of course, any spoof by French and 
Saunders is fantastic.
