Inspired by the other FND thread, I now want to re-watch this tonight. What's the best series?

The best episode has to be the dead fox one.

The episode where grandma get locked in the boot. Jim tells them he knows a locksmith, so they hot foot round to there to find out the person isn't actually a locksmith and Martin shouting 'why aren't you a shitting locksmith?' makes me howl every time and the episode where Jim gets paint everywhere... 'There's so much blood' 'Jim it's paint' 'There's so much paint.....' Does anyone else dislike Jonny? I can't stand him, I think he's particularly dislikeable.....

Our absolute faves are the Mr Morris episodes.
“YOU BUNCH OF PENISES!!!”
OH and DD aren’t impressed by FND, but DS and I are in fits every time we watch it.

The one with the massive fish... It'll have weevils! Honestly Jim cracks us up just to look at him and s£#t on it has become a household phrase!

For some reason, the bit where Jim turns up with a 'schmoigle' (basket of fruit) absolutely kills me.

Jim coming for dinner is without a shadow of a doubt one of the funniest thing I’ve ever watched.

Definitely the episode with the dead fox.
Also the one where Martin hides cheese in the loo.
And where Jonny is trying to figure out how to break up with Liz.

Saul’s funeral is my favourite.

I am not sure about FND. I like the scenes with the family but I can't bear Jim and the dog and don't find it funny or interesting.

The "Happy birthday Lydia" balloon episode made me literally cry laughing. I fucking love Mark Heap.

Just been rewatching the episodes with Mr Morris tonight. The bit where he’s chasing Jim through the bowling alley and ends up with the dogs cock and bollocks in his mouth...just priceless...makes me laugh every time.

Did you not hear that dear Paul Ritter has passed away? You couldn’t make more without him

All of them! I'm the only one who likes it, so regularly sitting crying with laughter, trying to explain why it's funny!
Vote for Schmoigle here too!

I love them all but my highlights have to be jim taking a bath and saying he may have made a mistake, or the one where he refuses to give the toy bunny back. Or even the stained carpet episode.

The actor who played Martin died a few days ago.

And i found the last series odd without jackies mum after her death too.. I know they had phone calls from her but still found it strange.

I really dont think they could do it without Martin.

We rewatched a few episodes after hearing about the death of Paul Ritter (so sad 😞). I love the episode where Martin is trying to get a plastic bag out a tree. He made that show.

Oh and when Wilson passes away, just so emotional! And then the new dog which Jim is equally as terrified of!

They were all so funny! The bag, the tin of meat one and the fax machine one!

The scene where Jackie discovers that Martin has been bitten on the penis by a bee.
