Best ever episodes of TV comedy?

104 replies

Was watching (for the 8 millionth time) Community and thinking about the best ever episodes of TV comedy.

Rules are you can only pick one episode from each programme, five shows in total. I’m going with:

Community - Glee / Invasion of the Body Snatchers episode (season 3, episode 10) (this is a very difficult one as there are so many)

30 Rock - MILF Island (season 2, episode 11)

Arrested Development - Afternoon Delight (season 2, episode 6)

Parks & Recreation - Ron & Tammy Part 2 (season 3, episode 4)

Party Down - Steve Guttenberg’s birthday (season 2, episode 5)

What are yours?

I'm going to disagree with everyone else and say the Peep Show episode where there were all trying to get each other sectioned. DP and I quote that at each other all the time.

Bottom - when Rik breaks his leg

Look Around You series 2 the episode with Medibot and the plastic surgery. This still makes me laugh just thinking about it.

The one where Miranda and her Mum go to a therapist

WakeUpSchmakeUp · 08/04/2021 21:03

Derry Girls - the one where they go to Belfast & keep getting waylaid.

One foot in the grave holiday special where the hotel owner mishears Victor telling him there are lots of midgets in the bathroom so walks in and sprays them all with insect (midgie) spray!

TheDogsMother · 08/04/2021 22:23

@Isababybel

The fire drill episode of the office.
Yes this was brilliant
TheDogsMother · 08/04/2021 22:27

Another for the last episode of Blackadder. On a lighter note Alan Partridge with the owl sanctuary/ bed chocolate mousse episode.

FadedRed · 08/04/2021 22:33

Father Ted: the one with Bishop Brennan and the rabbits.
Black Adder Goes Forth: the one with Speckled Jim the carrier pigeon and the firing squad.
Red Dwarf: Psirens and the one with the suicide squid.
Allo Allo: the one with the candle with the handle in the gateau for the chateau and the pill in the till for the drug in the jug etc etc

TheChosenTwo · 08/04/2021 22:34

@stockpilingallthecheese agree, the au pair one is one of the episodes we like the least, along with the episode with Val in the cage (she was such a rubbish character in general, the tin of meat one too, just nonsense) and the fox is our favourite Grin

dayswithaY · 08/04/2021 22:34

Derry Girls cleaning the chip shop

Schitts Creek the crows at the film premiere

This Country the scarecrow competition and Kerry's birthday

Bottom-the one where they go camping on Wimbledon Common. 'I wonder how much meat you get on a Womble?'

Inbetweeners-the fashion show one with the escapee testicle. Or the Thorpe Park/car door one.

Blackadder-'Bob' and Lord Flashheart.

Only Fools and Horses. "Hole in One". Uncle Albert falling down into the pub cellar.

Blackadder the Third. The election episode.
