I was recently rewatching the IT Crowd, which is one of my favourite shows and after finishing Season 2 Episode 1, “The Work Outing” for the hundredth of time I realized this is probably my favourite sitcom episode of all time. I just can’t get bored of the jokes and the delivery. The writing is gold, and the story escalates from funny to absolutely insane hilarious. Makes me laugh every time. Half the dialogue I quote to this day.
There are many good episodes I love, and could put here as close seconds: probably most of the Futurama series, a dozen of episodes of The Office or some classics from the Friends, I could think of.
So I would like to hear what episodes of any TV show is your favourites and why? Doesn’t needs to be necessarily comedy, anything from television is fair game.
Think of it as a “what single item would you bring to a desert island with you” question, just with an episode of a TV show :)
It’s always sunny in Philadelphia - “The gang cracks the liberty bell”
‘Charlie Work’ is up there also. just a fantastic job… and all those long takes are icing on the cake!
Ah man thats an unpopular one, I’ve got to ask why? I loathe that episode and skip it everything it comes on shuffle. Mac and Charlie Die has got to be my pick for IASIP
I think it’s a great episode because Charlie really plays the “simple minded commoner” role really well, spitting in peoples faces and bartering with people over pumpkins. Macs wooden teeth scenes are hilarious. The part where they try to act like British royalty kills me. And by the end of the episode it’s just very obvious how full of shit the gang is, as usual.
Stargate SG1 S4:E06 Window of Opportunity
Tap for spoiler
Groundhog Day, but Stargate.
That sounds awesome. I watched a couple seasons of the original series, never got to SG1
Ha, self burn :) It was ages ago and never got too far into it, I just know there are multiple series and made a guess.
Same. I didn’t dare to say it, but since I’m not the only one… I also think that one is an outstanding episode and amongst my favorites. I think the SG-1 writers were crazy anyways. Mixing well-written episodes with the daily grind of almost the same plot happening just on a different planet… for like 10 episodes straight… Then some melodramatic stuff, or more a sitcom in-between. Sometimes it seems they just didn’t give a f— and the main actor wasn’t available so they just made his character invisible… And they made an effort to also sometimes include story arcs, sometimes not, or portray single characters in an episode. All within a very limited and confined format… Because I think a lot of SG-1 has been cheap mass-production.
The Red Dwarf has so many
The Luck of the Fryrish - Futurama
Fry spent his life thinking his brother was a dick who was stealing his personality, when all he really wanted was to be around him. And by the time he realized it, it was too late. Having a similar relationship with my brother, this hit close to home. I keep telling myself if I ever got a tattoo, it would be a 7 leaf clover.
Community, season 3, Pillows and Blankets.
It’s a campus wide pillow fight between two friends / armies done as a Ken Burns Civil War documentary.
Winger’s critics suggest he merely improvised hot-button patriotic dogma in a Ferris Bueller-ian attempt to delay schoolwork. Winger decries the accusation as “A slanderous betrayal akin to 9/11.” Later after the war, he would refer to the theory as “essentially accurate.”
