    2. The Office: "Dinner Party" (Season 4, Episode 9)

    Michael says he broke down and bought himself a plasma TV. The camera moves back and you see the TV is tiny
    NBC

    "Might be basic, but...it makes me laugh every time. From Michael’s 'call' to corporate Angela smashing her ice cream on the side of the car. Best episode on TV."

    —arianarose114

    "I’m sorry but seeing Michael start the episode with fake overtime just to make sure Jim and Pam couldn’t say they already had plans is amazing."

    3. Superstore: "Black Friday" (Season 2, Episode 10)

    both in stalls in the bathroom, Jonah tells Amy to make herself at home, and Amy says "thanks" awkwardly
    NBC

    "The 'Black Friday' episode of Superstore is hilarious from the opening scene to the end. The staff start out with a potluck and get food poisoning. It's a shitshow thrown into a shitstorm and so damn funny."

    Fox

    "Everything about it...Rachel kissing Blaine, everyone drunk...TV perfection! I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard [as] when Kurt said 'OK I THINK WE’VE HAD ENOUGH OF THAT!!' There are so many good lines in this episode."

    5. Schitt's Creek: "The Incident" (Season 6, Episode 2)

    Moira says, "Don't tell me you've had a nighttime oopsie daisy"
    Pop!TV

    "It chronicles David wetting the bed and Moira attempting to be a social media mogul, and of course all of the problems that come with...older adults and technology. I laughed so hard that I was crying and my stomach hurt. I quote 'don't tell me you had a nighttime oopsie daisy' to my roommate frequently."

    6. The Good Place, "Dance Dance Resolution" (Season 2, Episode 2)

    Jason says they're in the bad place, and Michael expresses shock that Jason of all people figured it out, calling it a low point
    NBC

    "It's the episode where the gang goes through hundreds of iterations of the 'good' place, and each one is funnier than the last. I watch it every time I'm feeling down. It also includes the line in the series that made me laugh the hardest: 'This is your soulmate, Tahani.'"

    —chrism1290

    "Nah, the funniest part from that episode is 'Jason??? Jason figured it out?'"

    —weirdflexbutok1

    Watch the episode on Netflix.

    7. Modern Family, “Las Vegas” (Season 5, Episode 18)

    ABC

    "[The] 'Las Vegas' episode of Modern Family is funny from start to end. Probably one of their best episodes. The individual stories all work together well and end with a brilliant payoff. Absolutely hilarious."

    —takerbobpooh

    Watch the episode on Amazon for $2.99.

    8. Brooklyn Nine-Nine, "The Fugitive Part 2" (Season 4, Episode 12)

    Doug says "I sold a guy a fake Pekingese. 'Twas a cat." Holt says he won't win him over with his use of "'twas," and Doug replies, "'Twasn't trying to"
    Fox

    "I have to go with 'The Fugitive Part 2.' It's Doug Judy heavy, which is always so funny when he's paired with Jake, but [you] also get to see Holt bring the best deadpan humor, and Sexerella. Also, ''Twas a cat' never stops being funny."

    —mazeinahaze

    Watch the episode on Hulu.

    9. The Golden Girls, "It's a Miserable Life" (Season 2, Episode 4)

    NBC

    "Rose tells their mean old neighbor to drop dead and then she does. The interactions with the girls and the neighbor showing how they all despise her is great. Then trying to plan the funeral is hilarious. Then when the one woman who shows up at the funeral, thinking it was for someone else, kicks the coffin when she realizes who it is for, [it] is just the cherry on top."

    10. That '70s Show: “Garage Sale” (Season 2, Episode 1)

    Red, with whipped cream on his head, saying "Fear me! All fear whipped cream head!"
    Fox

    "Hyde accidentally gets Eric’s parents high when they eat the wrong brownies. Red is hilarious through the whole episode, and sells the car (and forgets who he sold it to) while high. My absolute favorite."

    11. Grimm, "Blind Love" (Season 6, Episode 7)

    NBC

    "Grimm's 'Blind Love,' in which the main characters (except Rosalee) are enchanted to feel a sudden unrequited love for one of the others. I feel like they just told the actors to be as dramatic as possible, and they OBLIGED. From the overdramatic serenades to Rosalee's utter confusion at what was happening, I was in tears of laughter during the entire episode. It was such a nice funny relief from the otherwise extremely serious season."

    12. Bob's Burgers: "Crawl Space" (Season 1, Episode 2)

    Bob saying, "Okay. Day 3 stuck in the wall. I sure would love to go poo. That would be good" as he sets up a camera in a tunnel
    Fox

    "Bob slowly losing it and dreaming of Louise's night light, Kuchi Kopi, as the bartender from The Shining...the kids hearing their grandparents having sex at night and Gene recording it for a school presentation. The whole thing is hilarious from start to finish. First episode I saw and still my favorite."

    13. Friends, "The One Where No One's Ready" (Season 3, Episode 2)

    imitating Chandler and dressed in a ton of layers, Joey says "Could i BE wearing any more clothes?"
    NBC

    "Joey and Chandler's fight is the part that gets talked about a lot, but Monica freaking out about Richard's message is also great."

    —sforsgren1

    Watch the episode on HBO Max.

    14. WKRP in Cincinnati: "Turkeys Away" (Season 1, Episode 7)

    CBS

    "This is gonna age me, but I have never seen anything better than the WKRP in Cincinnati Thanksgiving turkey drop episode. Watch it on YouTube and tell me I'm wrong. 'As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!'"

    —jstanle1

    Watch the episode on Amazon for $1.99. If you don't want to buy it, you can watch a clip here!

    15. Space Force, "Save Epsilon 6!" (Season 1, Episode 2)

    watching Marcus spin aimlessly in space, Dr. Chan says he's heading on a trajectory to intercept the sun sometimes next week. Mark gets mad and mutters "Marcus" to himself
    Netflix

    "It begins with the Chinese satellite dismantling the American satellite, then introduces chimpstronaut Marcus, who for a brief moment is a hero until he is thrown into the path of the sun, and finishes with Marcus being a traitor (because he ate his dogstronaut companion) and getting captured/rescued by the Chinese. I could not stop laughing. My sides hurt...every time I think of Marcus spinning helplessly I start to giggle. Amazing episode of an amazing show."

    16. Will and Grace, "Last Ex to Brooklyn" (Season 6, Episode 2)

    Grace says, "I'm not jealous. And I'll tell you why I'm jealous"
    NBC

    "The twists, the one-liners, the running gags, six actors in one space for the entire episode...Just genius. 'Maybe it's for the best you never took a ride on the Truman train. Could have scarred you for life.' 'Train? You had one passenger!' 'Yes. But at least she got off.'"

    17. I Love Lucy, “Lucy Does a TV Commercial” (Season 1, Episode 30)

    CBS

    —sugarkane

    Watch the episode on Hulu or CBS All Access.

    18. How I Met Your Mother: "Slap Bet" (Season 2, Episode 9)

    Barney asks if Marshall is going to cry — crying, he says "No...you're gonna cry" and Barney makes a face
    CBS

    "[It] is hilarious from the beginning to the end but especially the end, because that’s when we first meet Robin Sparkles! It also features, IMO, the best long running joke on the series: i.e., the slap bet."

    —yungiant

    "It’s such an iconic episode and it’s such a hilarious twist when Barney and Marshall argue if Robin was married or a porn star, just for her to end up having been a Canadian teen pop star."

    —nellieeng_

    Watch the episode on Hulu.

    19. Peep Show, "Wedding" (Season 4, Episode 6)

    Channel 4

    "It's got everything: perfect balance of cringe and hilarity, Jeremy pissing himself in a church is just childish enough to still make me, a 27-year-old woman, laugh out loud every time."

    —bexsticles

    Watch the episode on Hulu.

    20. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: "The Gang Gets Invincible" (Season 3, Episode 2)

    Leaning back with a beer in hand, Charlie saying, "I'm relaxing. I'm getting blackout drunk, and you're leaving me alone"
    FX

    "I love that Frank and Charlie tailgate the tryouts and Frank drops acid and gets 'stuck in the toilet' aka a trash can in the parking lot that he poops in. Not to mention my favorite line from Charlie: 'I'm relaxing, I'm getting blackout drunk, and you're leaving me alone.'"

    21. Parks and Recreation: "The Fight" (Season 3, Episode 13)

    all the main characters really drunk on Snake Juice, mostly laughing and dancing or ranting
    NBC

    "It’s the best episode, starting with the cold open involving the broken coffee machine and [it] gets funnier from there. All the signs from Denis Cooper, Leslie giving Ann all the reading materials for the job, Snake Juice, Janet Snakehole, Burt Macklin, everyone but Chris and Donna getting drunk, everyone dealing with hangovers except for Ron, Leslie and Ann’s insults...man, the list can go on."

    —rachelc43

    "This is my favorite Parks and Recreation episode. I never get tired of watching drunk Ron Swanson dancing!"

    —vasato

    Watch the episode on Peacock.

    22. The IT Crowd: "The Work Outing" (Season 2, Episode 1)

    Richmond asks where they're off to, and Moss says "Oh look, Richmond's still alive"
    Channel 4

    "The 'Work Outing' episode from The IT Crowd is one of the most perfect 30 minutes of comedy ever filmed. It is just sheer genius. I won’t give too much away, but when Jen is reunited with Roy, and then, moments later, Moss...it’s possibly the greatest moment of a sitcom of all time. Everyone I have watched it with has been rendered completely helpless!"

    23. Derry Girls: "Episode One" (Season 1, Episode 1)

    Clare's father says "Killing nuns now, is it?" and Clare denies it, but her father says to wait until her mother hears about it
    Channel 4

    "The very first episode of Derry Girls. It was a great introduction to all of the characters and was just a laugh a minute. Things just got more and more out of hand, resulting in the girls being blamed for the murder of a nun. The very first time I watched it, I immediately rewatched it another two times because I couldn’t stop laughing."

    —georgea4cf7567f5

    "100% agree. Especially when all the parents come in. 'Why were you passing on her dead body and making sandwiches?' 'Oh, killing nuns now, is it?'"

    24. And finally, Frasier: “Ham Radio” (Season 4, Episode 18)

    Frasier and Roz do a radio show, but Roz has just been to the dentist and can't pronounce words well
    NBC

    "The whole thing is great, but when they start doing the actual radio drama and everything falls apart, it just gets better and better: 'Look out! He’s got a nug!' 'I can’ bewieve one o’ muh guess could be a mubbaba mubaba.' 'Could the McAllister sisters stand back to back? I’m short on bullets.'”
