Television Funniest single episode of a sitcom ever

[Camilo]

Peep Show - Wedding. I'm laughing just thinking of it.

 

[Berbaclass]

The best Peep Show episode is probably the stag weekend IMO.

 

[Ali Dia]

I could've posted anything from season 2 in fairness, pure gold

id watch a Johnson and superhans spin off no bother

 

[Hugh Jass]

Father Ted Song for Europe.

 

[The Corinthian]

The Inbetweeners - Trip to Warwick is up there.

 

[Shane88]

Good shout. But „Pillows and Blankets“ is the best one in my opinion. I love mockumentaries.

Agree with that.

"Part man, part pillow. All carnage."

 

[Berbaclass]

The Inbetweeners - Trip to Warwick is up there.

Bunking off. That's so funny

 

[The Corinthian]

Bunking off. That's so funny

Oh yea..."BUMDER".

 

[Berbaclass]

Oh yea..."BUMDER".

Pretty much every scene is comedy gold.

 

[Bastian]

My immediate thought was "Charlie Work" from It's Always Sunny.

From that series I'd say when Frank does cocaine and it's shot from his perspective.

Seinfeld - Soup Nazi

Curb Your Enthusiasm - Palestinian Chicken

Palestinian Chicken is pretty pretty pretty good

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Seinfeld - The Contest

"Isn't it funny all the.. coffee"

This scene from Peep Show kills me.

this thread confirming Peep Show as the GOAT

 

[Sparky_Hughes]

funniest for me, fawlty towers, the episode with the women and her hearing aid. Not because its funny, but the best sitcom episode for me is blackadder, when they finally go over the top, Chokes me every single time.

 

[Oo0AahCantona]

Peep show - the episode where super hands gives mark the crack to look after.

 

[Murder on Zidane's Floor]

Is it a sitcom?

Situational Comedy?

 

[Maagge]

The episode from Flight of the Conchords where they get mugged is pretty fantastic.

I never liked the "Darkest Timeline" episode. I always thought it was the beginning of the show's decline. Season three introduced Inspector Spacetime and Abed suddenly got too weird. I didn't care for these things.

Arrested Development is a weird one. It's the best sitcom of all time in my opinion – even seasons four and five are decent. But I struggle to name a standout episode. They were all consistently brillant. Maybe the one where Tobias breaks into the not-so-blind chick's house?

I think it's because a lot of the comedy in Arrested Development runs across episodes instead of being confined within them, if that makes sense.

 

[Paul the Wolf]

Danger UXD episode was hilarious the first time I saw it

 

[Deery]

Peter Kay’s Car share: when the monkey pisses in his mouth.

 

[The Cat]

Blackadder II - Money

 

[Spoony]

Corporal Punishment (Blackadder Goes Forth)

 

[Mart1974]

An honorable mention must go to I'm Alan Partridge - To Kill a Mocking Alan (the one with the Irish producers)

 

[Flying_Heckfish]

The Marine Biologist

 

[Volumiza]

Had this debate at work last week and thought it would make for a good discussion here, as the title suggests, what is the funniest single episode of a sitcom in your opinion and why?

I will start with Cigarettes, Alcohol and Rollerblading - Father Ted. As a very lapsed Catholic, I remember some of the odd behaviours during lent and this episode captured all that in the most hilarious manner.

Same sitcom but I’d go with the Pat Mustard episode where Dougal replicates the film Speed on the milk float. Genius.

 

[Fingeredmouse]

Is it a sitcom?

Yes. What else would it be?

 

[luke511]

An honorable mention must go to I'm Alan Partridge - To Kill a Mocking Alan (the one with the Irish producers)

 

[The Cat]

Also Red Dwarf Gunmen Of The Apocalypse

 

[Rolandofgilead]

Frasier - The Ski Lodge. Farce at its finest.

Frasier - Ham Radio

You're both wrong..

Fraiser- Out with dad.

 

[Berbaclass]

Yes. What else would it be?

Political satire

 

[acnumber9]

You're both wrong..

Fraiser- Out with dad.

Ridiculous.

 

[Oldyella]

The episode from Flight of the Conchords where they get mugged is pretty fantastic.

I think it's because a lot of the comedy in Arrested Development runs across episodes instead of being confined within them, if that makes sense.

Good call on FOTC

 

[djembatheking]

Blackadder goes forth - Major Star when Melchett falls in love with Georgina

Red Dwarf - Back to Reality - Duane Dibbley

 

[Pexbo]

Miranda - the one where she falls over and then gets up again really quickly and the audience laugh
Mrs Browns Boys - the one where Mrs Brown makes a sordid innuendo before going “ooooohh” and then the audience laugh at it

 

[2 man midfield]

Can’t find a clip of it but I remember having to pause Peep Show during this bit the first time I watched it. Just couldn’t stop laughing.

“Did you try and get me sectioned?”
