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 :)

Star Trek TNG S6E21 Where Riker gets put through psychological hell in magnificent fashion. It spells out clearly everything that's terrifying about psychedelics, and mental hospitals commandeering your life with discrediting tactics.

Also I love the wrestling episode of King of the Hill because Bobby and Connie subvert expectations of warring adults in grand fashion!

The circle of life episode of Adventure time is such a blast! Very trippy.

I really enjoyed the episode Forks from The Bear, particularly after the traumatic gut punch that was Fishes. Hit close to home and didn't expect a Taylor Swift song to break me, much less in a GOOD way.

Maybe not favorite of all shows but the first that came to mind;

Out of Gas, Firefly

Take my love
Take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care 'cause I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me

Always Sunny, "The Gang Hits the Road".

The entire episode is just them driving around Philly with the intention of going elsewhere, but the plan gets derailed in typical gang fashion when they wind up just switching seats over and over (both in and out of the U-Haul) until they end up back where they started, and with zero interest in continuing the original plan.

Honorable mention for my favorite moment in a TV show - Brienne of Tarth a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. What a shining, glorious moment of satisfaction for a hardworking and truly good character in a season of utter bullshit.

I will always feel that we were robbed of so many satisfying conclusions because of the show rushing to wrap everything up. Not everything had to be tied in a perfect bow, but what we got certainly did not scratch that perfectly placed itch.

Will not spoil it, but I absolutely love/loved the series finale episode of Summer Camp Island. Such a wholesome ending with such a good payoff, in my opinion, to everything that happens in the later seasons when the show decided "we want to be a story driven series!" more than the first and maybe 2nd season.

The gay episode of The Last of Us. I think it's the greatest episode of television period.

What We Do In the Shadows, "Baron's Night Out". Absolutely hilarious. The vampires getting high drinking the blood of high people is great comedy.

I don’t think this has been mentioned yet and might not be seen but…

The finale of Six Feet Under. It’s my favorite show, and the finale is the only episode of a show (other than maybe Futurama) that made me cry. I can’t even explain why, and there’s so many other episodes of SixFUnder that are incredible, but I’ve never in my life seen a show end that strong, and it’s my favorite show.
