What's your favorite scene from a sitcom episode?
Mine is the scene from Taxi with the Reverend Jim: "What does a yellow light mean?" :P (and yes, I got this from my other thread - sue me, you litigious democrats, you!)

2. Jack Tripper
on Three's Company with the ironing board slap stick bit. I have always stopped to watch that episode when I can. It's hilarious.

5. When Munroe is out clubbing, and those two obese ladies kidnap him,
take him to their van and rape him. Later, everybody wonders why Munroe is so glum and freaked out. Mr. Rush sits him down and demands to know what this mopey-gus nonsense is all about. Munroe breaks down in tears and relates his horrfic ordeal, but refuses to go to the cops because of the humiliation. Mr. Rush persuades him that going to the cops is the right thing to do; Munroe accedes this and feels much better about the whole thing.

This was the 'issue episode' of Too Close For Comfort: an attempt to compete with the horrific Different Strokes episode (living up to its name for once) in which the Big Guy shows up and molests Arnold's pal. I think Nancy Reagan made an appearance on that one. (The Nancy bit goes down as my LEAST favourite sitcom moment, btw.)

7. The old Mary Tyler Moore show
Bear with me. I am old.

Lou Grant (Ed Asner) was sitting at his office desk, with his brown bag lunch in front of him , using a hole-puncher on a piece of lunch meat. He said, "I hate pimentos".

The clown funeral episode was good too

10. Every time I see the season three finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm
I laugh until I fall down. The scene where Larry starts swearing to make the chef with Tourette's feel more comfortable, and everyone in the restaurant joins in? Priceless!

"Fuck you, you car wash c*nt!"

18. That Opening scene from FRASIER when his brother is making a fancy
dinner and then gets something on his pants, takes them off to iron them, keeps passing out from blood on his finger, then sets fire to the pants from the iron, has to throw the dinner he is cooking on the pants to put out the fire, and the dog ends up eating the food.

22. Honestly Travis, I didn't know turkeys couldn't fly.
And many, many other scenes from WKRP in Cincinnati. Best damn comedy there ever was ... best damn comedy there ever will be.

And the scene in Home Improvement where Tim Allen is playing with a program on the computer where he enlarges his wife's (Patricia Richardson) breasts.

25. When Duke Phillips decides to run his own campaign for the presidency.
in "the Critic"

Duke Philips: I'm gonna run this country like I run my company. I'm gonna raid the pension fund, dump chemicals in the oceans, and sell our best assets to the Japanese.

Ronald Reagan: Ooh! Looks like Reaganomics is making a comeback.

Duke Phillips: Half you states are in the toilet, and you're not coming out! New York, you know what I'm talking about. California, kiss your smoggy butt goodbye! New England, you're going back to Old England.

Queen Elizabeth: Oh, I don't want that.

Prince Charles: More poison? I mean, tea?

Queen Elizabeth: Don't mind if I do. Oops. Almost had me there.

27. When Kramer was out of the "Master of my Domain" contest
He looked out Jerry's window and saw a naked girl in the neighboring building. He walks out of Jerry's apartment and 5 minutes later he comes back and slams $100 on the table with a Pete Townsand like motion.

Classic!!

29. The birth of Archie Bunker's grandson on "All In The Family."
He hurries to the hospital, fresh from a lodge-hall theatrical production, still wearing blackface makeup. He gets into the wrong room (of course) where an elderly white woman takes one look at him and freaks right out.

She starts screaming for help as Archie tries frantically to reassure her, but she is having none of it. Finally, she cries "Help! RAPE!" To which Archie replies, "Ah, geez, Lady! Who'd wanna rape YOU?"

GROSSLY politically incorrect on so many levels and therefore helplessly funny.

:evilgrin:
