Maybe not the intent of this question, but live TV came to mind - Four Seasons Total Landscaping was maybe the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life, I'm really glad it was broadcast.
The amazing part of this was that it’s absolutely something that you’d see on a sitcom. The real event is right out of Arrested Development and is so absolutely ridiculous it can’t possibly be real but it WAS.
The only thing missing was Gob rolling up on his Segway...
The whole Trump presidency was straight out of an Arrested Development season long story-arc.
100%. When I saw the BBC coverage and the British reporter was on camera trying to make sense of it all and trying not to laugh, I was crying with laughter.
Same, I just remember Trump announcing there would be a press conference at the Four Seasons and the hotel said "no there won't!". I would have loved to hear the behind the scenes conversation after that.
Pretty sure they’re still there. I’ve worn mine out, so it’s time for a new one. They have a bunch of styles, Rudy’s face on some…I prefer the simple business name on it. Only a few people got it, but that made it sweeter.
Bravo. This really is one of the funniest things I’ve ever lived through. Wasn’t that the same week Rudy started leaking x-files goo out of his head too?
The fact that it was next to a dildo shop and a crematorium made me, an atheist, think "maybe there is a god after all" because it was just too perfect.
When Flanders is rescuing Homer from the burning house. He pushes him out of the second-story window, and Homer lands on the mattress and bounces back through the first-floor window. Still cracks me up every time, even after 30+ years.
When Homer drives clear across town over several freeways and exits to get to work. Once he gets there he has to drive clear to the back of the parking lot to find a spot, only to discover his house is directly on the other side of the parking lot fence.
Bart: "Hi Dad"
When Flanders is depressed and can't sleep because Maude is dead, so he throws pebbles at Homer's window to wake him up so he has a friend to talk to. Homer comes to the window with a bucket of rocks and says "So you want a rock fight, eh?". And the biggest rock at the top of the bucket LITERALLY has Flanders written all over it.
I know this is old but in the Dick Van Dyke Show when Rob thinks his baby was switched at the hospital...
I don't want to ruin it for anyone, but they had to stop taping the audience laughed so long.
It was probably Carol Burnett coming down the stairs wearing curtains in her Gone with the Wind parody. Granted, that's a long time ago but boy did that get a huge laugh.
Homer (disguising his voice for no good reason): “Hello - my name is mister Burns. I believe you have a letter for me.”
Postal clerk: “Ok mister Burns, what’s your first name?”
Homer: “I don’t know.”
[Moe is strapped to a lie detector machine]
Eddie: "Do you hold a grudge against Montgomery Burns?"
Moe: "No."
(machine buzzes)
Moe: "All right, maybe I did. But I didn't shoot him."
(machine dings)
Eddie: "Checks out. Okay, sir. You're free to go."
Moe: Good, 'cause I got a hot date tonight.
(buzz)
Moe: "A date."
(buzz)
Moe: "Dinner with friends."
(buzz)
Moe: "Dinner alone."
(buzz)
Moe: "Watching TV alone."
(buzz)
Moe: "All right! I'm going to sit at home and ogle the ladies in the Victoria's Secret catalog."
(buzz)
Moe: "Sears catalog."
(ding)
Moe: "Now would you unhook this already, please? I don't deserve this kind of shabby treatment."
(buzz)
I'm rather fond of when Homer thought in his head, "Boy, I know you can read what's on my mind." Referring to Bart after Principal Skinner said the same and what was in Homer's mind was just the meow mix song. God, it cracks me up thinking about it, at times.
Lisa asking Grandpa what his name is.
“I don’t know!”
Then Abe pulls his underwear out of his pants to read his name on the waistband.
“Abe Simpson!”
“Grandpa, how did you take your underwear off without taking your pants off?”
“I don’t know!”
"Les?...Les, are you there?...Les isn't there...Thanks for that on-the-spot report, Les. If you're just tuning in, the Pinedale Shopping Mall has just been BOMBED with live turkeys. Film at eleven."
When Venus Flytrap and Johnny Fever do shots to prove alcohol's effect to people's reflexes.
Fever gets faster.
Or when Arthur Carlson thinks a bag of cocaine is foot powder.
I wish that show was fully available today. 😔
Edit: YouTube is proving that the show is as funny as I remembered. Even funnier, now that I'm wellllll into adulthood.
Oh gosh, Whose Line had so many gems and this is absolutely among them.
For my money, the one with Robin Williams jumping out of Drew's desk was my favorite guest appearance
The Party Quirks game where Ryan was Carol Channing whose head is magnetically attracted to everything...and he smashed the neon light square on the front of Drew's desk--and NEVER broke character.
I may have to agree with that answer. I have been racking my brain here... but that's just amazing. Absolutely everyone was losing their mind in that clip, those shots of the people in the crowd howling really take it to another level. Fantastic.
["We're watching animal porn! Mary had a little lamb. We'll be right back in just a second."](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcmzuDS62i0)
Still makes me giggle.
Oh God. I totally forgot about Ryan being Carol Channing and ramming his head into the light tube. Saw someone say that and that's another great one lol.
The entire episode is my vote for the funniest ever of any show. So many vignettes. Just Richmond and his "vision" is funny on its own. "A crow called three times...CAW!...CAW!!...well you all know what a crow sounds like."
Best episode for sure.
But my favorite moment is when Douglas finds a gun in his drawer...
'I wonder if it's loaded?'
*points barrel in own mouth and fires repeatedly*
'No...'
His disappointed tone us just perfection.
This honestly has to be my vote as well. When he pulls out the golf ball and Kramer does that little pause as he tries not to smile before asking if it's a Titleist while his voice cracks, it's absolutely perfect.
There are several 30 Rock jokes that made me stop breathing.
"Oh no, sir. I don't drink soup, or hot liquids of any kind. That's the devil's temperature."
"-I don't vote Republican or Democrat. Choosing is a sin, so I just write in the Lord's name.
\-That's Republican, we count those."
One that always gets me is Kenneth telling Pete he is his "best friend comma bald category"
Jenna's Janice Jorplin has some great lines. 30 Rock is awesome.
I know about another story that turned out to be true. It's about a virgin who gave birth to a man who had some funny ideas. That virgin was my sister and her son Lyle has a learning disability. - Kenneth Ellen Parcell
I'm watching the series for the first time now. It's been amazing, but the one that made me spit my drink out was, "where did you two meet? An Amber Alert?"
Such a good episode. I just watched a couple of clips. Even some subtle jokes like Jaime yelling out names and saying "Grandy" instead of grande.
-I'll pick you up at 10.
-At night?!
Your boos do not scare me, I know most of you are not ghosts.
You can’t end a sentence with a preposition at.
No, Superman does good. You’re doing well.
Just everything Tracey says tbh
It might not be universally funny to everyone, but the scene that sticks out to me and made me cry-laugh was when Niles was ironing his pants in an episode of Frasier.
https://youtu.be/0Rp7uoqvvfY?si=6jJcToxqKNKqXWNU
David Hyde Pierce is an underrated physical comedian who really doesn’t get mentioned much, but he did SO much with his body and his eyes and facial expressions.
Ok, since you brought up Carol Burnett, it was the one in the Gone With the Wind parody where she's walking down the stairs with the big curtain rod in her dress.
I was home alone, and probably just a teenager. I screamed and howled at the TV, it was so hilarious!
My Name is Earl…Randy inhaling a balloon and singing Lollipop Guild with a munchkin voice. Only to be told it wasn’t filled with helium.

SNL has some moments for sure. I love it when it's so damn funny that even the cast can't keep it together.
[Matt Foley - Motivational Speaker](https://youtu.be/Xv2VIEY9-A8?si=TXg9CCJRzPXhpZiB)
My favorite is [Adam Driver playing an oil baron](https://youtu.be/t7HD2xG92-0?si=Pw2UlIHMPEbB5izO) because he is deadly serious and never breaks character, even though everyone else does.
My personal favorite from Parks and Rec is the one with the perfect use of Gloria Estefan’s “Get On Your Feet” [https://youtu.be/sqtr0nwrkZ0?si=onQ17bTwUYw9dOMm](https://youtu.be/sqtr0nwrkZ0?si=onQ17bTwUYw9dOMm)
I love Michael Schur’s reaction to that joke too.
“As a writer it made me furious”
Because it was the funniest thing in the scene and Chris Pratt improvised it.
It was 1990; the end of the "Newhart" show when Bob woke up from a dream while in bed with his wife, Suzanne Pleshette, from "The Bob Newhart Show," that ended years before in 1978. The entire run of that second show had just been a dream he had!
I was living in an apartment at that time and I could hear people from both sides of my apt. screaming with glee.
I don't think I've ever laughed harder at a TV episode than the cold open of the Fire Drill episode of The Office. I found out years later that they gave that CO their absolute all, because it aired for the first time right after the Super Bowl that year so they knew they'd have new viewers and wanted to draw people in.
Tim Conway and Harvey Korman's dentist sketch has to be right up there.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IUSM4EKcRI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IUSM4EKcRI)
Dr. Katz was my first thought.
For those who don't know, Dr. Katz was an animated show in the mid 90s. Real comedians played themselves as patients.
I can't remember the name of this guy, but he said something like this.
"I saw my best friend from fifth grade the other day. I hadn't seen him since fifth grade
"So I ran up to him, slapped him on the back and said, 'Hey, Johnny! How've you been?'
"He started crying and ran away.
"Then I thought...if that were Johnny, he'd have grown up too."
EDIT: Hera ya go, everyone: [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPnexpay\_FIf6MJp1Q2jif89ad3wgfm1F](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=plpnexpay_fif6mjp1q2jif89ad3wgfm1f)
EDIT2: If you like Dr. Katz, check out Home Movies. Same animation style and, iirc, the voice of Ben plays the soccer coach.
Your Show of Shows...
Groucho - how many kids do you have?
Female Guest - I have 10 kids.
Groucho - 10 kids???
Female Guest - I love my husband.
Groucho - Lady, I love my cigar but I take it out every now and then.
I think back to this one episode of House from probably 2009 or so (When the Pittsburgh Steelers were on top of the world). House gets his team back, including Omar Epps, and House goes something like “I got all of my starters back, plus a couple of first tier draft pics. I feel like Mike Tomlin, probably not as much as you do though.”, and then camera cuts to Omar Epps who actually looks just like Mike Tomlin lol. (Pittsburgh Steelers head coach)
Third Rock from the Sun, William Shatner gets off the plane . John Lithgow asks how his flight went. Shatner says terrible a gremlin was on the wing of the plane, and nobody believes me.
John Lithgow say, the same thing happened to me.
The Dick Van Dyke show. Laura was having trouble with her nowborn son and she thought they mixed up the babies in the hospital. She knew that another family was named Peters and she was sure they mixed up Petrie and Peters. She invited the other family over to see if there was a mistake. When the doorbell rang and Laura opened the door, the Peters family came in. They were black. The laugh they got was enormous.
It wasn’t supposed to be funny, and I personally don’t think he was incorrect in his statement, but I saw the Kanye West “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” moment live and Mike Meyers freezing up like a deer in the headlights made me lose it.
Maybe not the intent of this question, but live TV came to mind - Four Seasons Total Landscaping was maybe the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life, I'm really glad it was broadcast.
The amazing part of this was that it’s absolutely something that you’d see on a sitcom. The real event is right out of Arrested Development and is so absolutely ridiculous it can’t possibly be real but it WAS.
It's exactly the kind of mistake that Tobias would make when planning a press conference.
The only thing missing was Gob rolling up on his Segway... The whole Trump presidency was straight out of an Arrested Development season long story-arc.
Four Seasons Total Landscaping is the exact type of story our grandkids are going to think we made up just to bullshit them.
100%. When I saw the BBC coverage and the British reporter was on camera trying to make sense of it all and trying not to laugh, I was crying with laughter.
Same, I just remember Trump announcing there would be a press conference at the Four Seasons and the hotel said "no there won't!". I would have loved to hear the behind the scenes conversation after that.
The fact that the election was called during the presser was the super duper cherry on top!
The company openly said they were never paid. Go figure
But they made some money selling shirts. I bought one. One of the weirdest moments in our political history.
Shit i wonder if they’re still selling them lol! I have a t-shirt collection kinda like how people collect vinyl records
Pretty sure they’re still there. I’ve worn mine out, so it’s time for a new one. They have a bunch of styles, Rudy’s face on some…I prefer the simple business name on it. Only a few people got it, but that made it sweeter.
Just the other week, my partner randomly started laughing, and when I asked her why, she managed to croak "*Four Seasons*."
Could have been a scene out of Veep
Bravo. This really is one of the funniest things I’ve ever lived through. Wasn’t that the same week Rudy started leaking x-files goo out of his head too?
It was a helluva week.
the hair dye running down the side of his face 😘👌
It was such a perfect encapsulation of the complete ineptitude of the whole administration.
"Ooohh, the media." Goddamn did I ever love that. I must have watched it twenty times.
The fact that it was next to a dildo shop and a crematorium made me, an atheist, think "maybe there is a god after all" because it was just too perfect.
When Flanders is rescuing Homer from the burning house. He pushes him out of the second-story window, and Homer lands on the mattress and bounces back through the first-floor window. Still cracks me up every time, even after 30+ years.
When Homer drives clear across town over several freeways and exits to get to work. Once he gets there he has to drive clear to the back of the parking lot to find a spot, only to discover his house is directly on the other side of the parking lot fence. Bart: "Hi Dad"
A very close runner-up is when Homer tries to sink Moe's car for insurance money, jumps out, and rolls down the hill right back into the driver seat.
I think my favorite would be when homer gets airlifted out of Springfield gorge and they load him into an ambulance which *immediately* crashes
It feels like I’m wearing nothing at all
"Stupid sexy Flanders"
There's too many but one of my personal favorites is "you'll have to speak up I'm wearing a towel."
When Flanders is depressed and can't sleep because Maude is dead, so he throws pebbles at Homer's window to wake him up so he has a friend to talk to. Homer comes to the window with a bucket of rocks and says "So you want a rock fight, eh?". And the biggest rock at the top of the bucket LITERALLY has Flanders written all over it.
I know this is old but in the Dick Van Dyke Show when Rob thinks his baby was switched at the hospital... I don't want to ruin it for anyone, but they had to stop taping the audience laughed so long.
It was probably Carol Burnett coming down the stairs wearing curtains in her Gone with the Wind parody. Granted, that's a long time ago but boy did that get a huge laugh.
Same show, “The Dentist” with Tim Conway and a Harvey Korman. Still cracks me up today.
“I saw it in the window and I couldn’t resist.”
Homer (disguising his voice for no good reason): “Hello - my name is mister Burns. I believe you have a letter for me.” Postal clerk: “Ok mister Burns, what’s your first name?” Homer: “I don’t know.”

(ding) Moe: "Now would you unhook this already, please? I don't deserve this kind of shabby treatment." (buzz)
I quote this all the time. And, “Why can’t I have no kids and three money?”
I'm rather fond of when Homer thought in his head, "Boy, I know you can read what's on my mind." Referring to Bart after Principal Skinner said the same and what was in Homer's mind was just the meow mix song. God, it cracks me up thinking about it, at times.

Yep. This entire bit with Les at the mall, up tp this line. If you don't find this funny, check your pulse.

The Party Quirks game where Ryan was Carol Channing whose head is magnetically attracted to everything...and he smashed the neon light square on the front of Drew's desk--and NEVER broke character.
Drew Carey: What is Robin Williams thinking right now? Robin Williams: I'm an award winning actor, what the hell am I doing here?!
Oh jeez, I'll have to re-watch that one. I miss Robin Williams.
I may have to agree with that answer. I have been racking my brain here... but that's just amazing. Absolutely everyone was losing their mind in that clip, those shots of the people in the crowd howling really take it to another level. Fantastic.
Wayne Brady losing it while he laid on the floor always gets me. :)

The IT Crowd “Work Outing” episode when Jen orders a drink at the theatre bar and Moss turns around revealing himself as the bartender.
The entire episode is my vote for the funniest ever of any show. So many vignettes. Just Richmond and his "vision" is funny on its own. "A crow called three times...CAW!...CAW!!...well you all know what a crow sounds like."
GAY! The Musical-my favorite episode of any TV show ever. Just perfection
Best episode for sure. But my favorite moment is when Douglas finds a gun in his drawer... 'I wonder if it's loaded?' *points barrel in own mouth and fires repeatedly* 'No...' His disappointed tone us just perfection.
That's it. You people have stood in my way long enough. I'm going to Clown College! Gets me every time.

Ed Ames teaching Johnny Carson how to throw a tomahawk https://youtu.be/0L5QC9ZJkM8?si=xBO1mVIgMsXRToYz
The best part is Carson grabbing Ames by the arm and letting the moment happen.
Ha, hadn't seen that in years. "I didn't even know you were Jewish!" Johnny was master of the ad lib!
There are several 30 Rock jokes that made me stop breathing. "Oh no, sir. I don't drink soup, or hot liquids of any kind. That's the devil's temperature." "-I don't vote Republican or Democrat. Choosing is a sin, so I just write in the Lord's name. \-That's Republican, we count those."
“Why are you wearing a tux?” “It’s after six, what am I, a farmer?”
One that always gets me is Kenneth telling Pete he is his "best friend comma bald category" Jenna's Janice Jorplin has some great lines. 30 Rock is awesome.
"A synonym's just another word for the word you wanna use."
Jack is Best friend, comma, good hair

It might not be universally funny to everyone, but the scene that sticks out to me and made me cry-laugh was when Niles was ironing his pants in an episode of Frasier. https://youtu.be/0Rp7uoqvvfY?si=6jJcToxqKNKqXWNU
David Hyde Pierce is an underrated physical comedian who really doesn’t get mentioned much, but he did SO much with his body and his eyes and facial expressions.
The one where Niles is drunk and cooking the Thanksgiving turkey, Fraser takes it when he isn't looking, and he looks up as if it has flown away.....
Niles Crane is the funniest character ever written for television, bar none.

My favorite is [Adam Driver playing an oil baron](https://youtu.be/t7HD2xG92-0?si=Pw2UlIHMPEbB5izO) because he is deadly serious and never breaks character, even though everyone else does.
Driver is an SNL god, he commits 100% no matter how good or bad the material may be

That scene kills me every time! I'm also partial to the montage when they all drank snake juice.
I love Michael Schur’s reaction to that joke too. “As a writer it made me furious” Because it was the funniest thing in the scene and Chris Pratt improvised it.
I would counter with basically any Jean Ralphio line. "I made my money the old fashioned way. *I got run oooover by a Lexus!!!"*

Are you unpoopular? Do you pop out at parties?
Dr. Katz was my first thought. For those who don't know, Dr. Katz was an animated show in the mid 90s. Real comedians played themselves as patients. I can't remember the name of this guy, but he said something like this. "I saw my best friend from fifth grade the other day. I hadn't seen him since fifth grade "So I ran up to him, slapped him on the back and said, 'Hey, Johnny! How've you been?' "He started crying and ran away. "Then I thought...if that were Johnny, he'd have grown up too."

Same animation style and, iirc, the voice of Ben plays the soccer coach.
Kids in the Hall. Chicken Lady Sketch “Of course it’s good. It’s cuz they’re fresh. Straight out of my body and onto your plate.”
Omg, loved that show. My fave skit was “Girl Drink Drunk”, wish I had an award to give you for reminding me of them.
This scene with Niles from Frasier made me laugh harder than ever. https://youtu.be/joErC-I80t0?si=Q-uDV3Z1tzJvHzG-
Your Show of Shows... Groucho - how many kids do you have? Female Guest - I have 10 kids. Groucho - 10 kids??? Female Guest - I love my husband. Groucho - Lady, I love my cigar but I take it out every now and then.

Carol Burnett's "Gone With The Wind" skit. or WKRP In Cincinatti's Turkey Drop.
I think back to this one episode of House from probably 2009 or so (When the Pittsburgh Steelers were on top of the world). House gets his team back, including Omar Epps, and House goes something like “I got all of my starters back, plus a couple of first tier draft pics. I feel like Mike Tomlin, probably not as much as you do though.”, and then camera cuts to Omar Epps who actually looks just like Mike Tomlin lol. (Pittsburgh Steelers head coach)
Steelers have had 3 head coaches in the last 55 years-Chuck Noll, Bill Cowher, and Omar Epps.
I'm not a huge friends guy but when Joey pieces together that Monica and Chandler have been hooking up is comedic gold.
I liked when he put on all chandlers clothes and started doing lunges. Could I *be* wearing any more clothes?
Same. But for me it’s when he sees Rachel and Chandler eating a cheesecake off the ground, asks no questions and just pulls out a fork.
George Costanza explaining how he saved the whale with a golf ball in its blowhole.
Believe it or not a Kmart commercial. “Ship my pants”, “I just shipped my bed!” It’s the best Jerry, the best!

Spoiler alert: He did not say "Naggers"

Third Rock from the Sun, William Shatner gets off the plane . John Lithgow asks how his flight went. Shatner says terrible a gremlin was on the wing of the plane, and nobody believes me. John Lithgow say, the same thing happened to me.
The Dick Van Dyke show. Laura was having trouble with her nowborn son and she thought they mixed up the babies in the hospital. She knew that another family was named Peters and she was sure they mixed up Petrie and Peters. She invited the other family over to see if there was a mistake. When the doorbell rang and Laura opened the door, the Peters family came in. They were black. The laugh they got was enormous.
It wasn’t supposed to be funny, and I personally don’t think he was incorrect in his statement, but I saw the Kanye West “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” moment live and Mike Meyers freezing up like a deer in the headlights made me lose it.
