What is your favourite episode of a TV show, and why? (lemmy.world)

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 :)

The Russian episode of The Sopranos. Dude gets shot in the head and keeps running. They look for a long time and they never find him, throw up their hands and go "well fuck, he's probably dead." And they never mention it again throughout the rest of the series. And nothing ever happens. Legendary.

Edit: episode is called "pine barrens"

“Pine Barrens” is the name of the episode.
