Oh, man, how could I forget that one? I remember Asking the Newbie in the summer of 2006 or so what the devs were REALLY hiding in the then-sealed area at the back of Faultline. His answer: "Villain Epic Archetypes. Wearing trenchcoats."

The troll thread was pretty funny, but I think I'd vote for the Kill Skuls thread first.
I was also very fond of the thread Statesman started to explain the changes in I5, in which he more or less equated the challenge of a game to getting killed a lot. What followed was about 2000 pages of people flaming him, threatening to leave, arguing that the changes were good, blaming the changes on goths, and later on a fairly interesting discussion on the game's overall design. It was like several slow-motion train wrecks superimposed on the same film.
I'm also nostalgic for many of Pilcrow's suggestion threads back in the day.

Think of Billy Mays (RIP) saying that and it just makes that more hilarious.

You Rick Rolled Us! 
"What My Six Year Old..." likewise gets my vote for best, though there have been many, many good ones.
Alas, I fear they are lost to the ages.
"Ask the Newbie" was a very funny thread while it lasted.
"Ask a Stupid Question" was generally a scream, but it finally ran out of gas. (I doubt there will ever be a shortage of Stupid Questions.)
"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"
"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."
