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.

I guess my user name tells you I’m a big fan. Gutted about Paul Ritter.
I think my favourite episode would be Saul’s funeral.

Oh and the one where Harry Landis, who played the awful Lou, ripped his shirt off and squared up to Martin because he thought that he wanted a fight with him. Absolutely brilliant.

@JesusInTheCabbageVan

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

The first few episodes are weird to me as Jim isn't really Jim.

I like the one where Martin eats the beef in a can, the one with the dead fox and the one with the crazy piano tuner.

And when Wilson dies. So sad! But when he turns up with Milson...

I live FND. I really like the Christmas episode.

The whole thing has me in stitches.

The one where Jim comes to dinner: 'Lovely Hebrew water' 😁

My kid watched it aged 7. The rude stuff went over his head. He mostly liked Wilson.

The Mr Morris episodes are hilarious because they remind me of when my great aunt remarried and her new husband had such a horrible, abrupt personality just like him. Sadly things never escalated into fist fights.

And the dead fox. Haha. It’s just such a weird dad thing to do.

The sofabed episode for me, it's something that would have happened in our family. In fact so many scenarios ring true. Also the two Tony's where Greg have to pretend Jackies mum has died suddenly ! Jason Watkins was superb in this episode.

Watched that one yesterday - when he chugs the water out of the jug!

The sofa bed episode is the very first episode, so brilliant!! I do get annoyed by Jim's constant interruptions after a few episodes. As much as I laugh, the one where Wilson dies also makes me bawl my eyes out.
magicstar1 · 10/04/2021 15:00

Oh no, I didn’t know Wilson dies. I’m not looking forward to that one as I’ve a GSD at home Sad

LaganinaBubble · 10/04/2021 15:32

Oh I'm so sorry Magic ⭐- wish I could edit to say spoiler alert.

Thesearmsofmine · 10/04/2021 15:41

I love FND! My favourites have to be the ones with Mr Morris, when they go to buy a light for his car and he buys condoms and then accuses Adam of assault Grin

NewMinouMinou · 10/04/2021 15:50

“Lou Anthony Morrisssss...”

SocraticJunkieWannabe · 10/04/2021 15:53

Having a terrible day today and on basis of this thread have been inspired to rewatch some episodes. Adam & Johnny currently fighting over Buggy 😆 Thanks everyone!

HOkieCOkie · 10/04/2021 17:35

On the back of that thread I’ve been binging it! Just started s3 it’s soo funny I can’t believe he’s gone and no more will be made! Gutted.

HOkieCOkie · 10/04/2021 17:36

I love the neighbour so much! His fear of his dog lol 😂

HOkieCOkie · 10/04/2021 17:41

@NotATomato oh noo haven’t got there far yet.

HOkieCOkie · 10/04/2021 17:43

@Thesagacontinues it’s fine! A lot of stuff goes over kids heads.

Treaclepie19 · 10/04/2021 17:46

I couldn't choose my favourite.
We often talk about the fat legs and a creamy tea 😂

FND has got me through some stuff!

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 10/04/2021 21:44

Just rewatched Buggy.

The bit where Jim pops up behind the counter in the takeaway and starts ranting in fluent Cantonese Grin

Pebbledashery · 10/04/2021 21:46

Frozen friend episode is by far the most hilarious.. But I also love the bitch face episode and the one where they invite Jim to dinner and he destroys their house. It's utterly hilarious. I keep watching them over and over again, particularly after a rubbish day.

Pebbledashery · 10/04/2021 21:48

God how could I forget grandma's boyfriend episode... Bunch of penises!!

dangermouselovespeanutbutter · 10/04/2021 21:54

Which was the episode where they all get covered in poo?
I love all of them. I was gutted when I heard Paul Ritter had died. He was an utter legend Sad

GreenSlide · 10/04/2021 21:58

I think my favourite is the one with bitch face and THE MERCEDES Grin

It's a fast car, a very fast car!
