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 :)

    Probably the “Flu-ouise” episode of Bob’s Burgers (Season 7, Episode 1). At least I hope so, it’s the only episode of a TV show I have a tattoo of (terrible photo and the tattoo needs touch-ups). Bob’s is my and my wife’s comfort show, we end up re-watching it a few times a year.

    Flu-ouise is the show’s first take on a real musical episode. Both the A and B plots are really strong. Its firmly in the show’s golden age and is flanked by really great episodes too (The “Glued, Where’s My Bob” two-parter is before and “Sea Me Now” is the next episode). It introduces Melty Kuchi Kopi (aka 6-pack Kuchi Kopi) and may on Louise’s other toys and gives us one of the best arguments that H Jon Benjamin has with himself throughout the series.
