I love where he goes on a bike ride to show relative sizes and distances in the solar system.
But if I had to come up with my favorite obscure Bill Nye reference, it would have to be this spoof of a 90s dating gameshow on Almost Live.

Almost Live is from Seattle - like Saturday Night, but for the PNW. My favorite is Ballard Driving Academy - https://youtu.be/nyz6mkvlEgA.
(for everyone else, Ballard is a neighborhood in NW Seattle. It used to be highly populated by Swedes and Norwegians. It used to be more blue collar and more fishing oriented... all that aside, this video holds water 30 years after it was filmed. Uff Da! [Bill Nye reference at the end])
