10. Here's a few of my favorites
Curb Your Enthusiasm - Beloved Aunt

"No! No! Don't you see?! It's a typo! A typo!"

Arrested Development - The Sword of Destiny

Tony Wonder, baby.

Seinfeld - The Dinner Party

"Do you think chickens have individual personalities?"

Fawlty Towers - The Germans

The single funniest television episode of all-time, IMO.

15. I love WKRP but I can't stand that one
I thought it was depressing thinking about all those turkeys dying, very macabre.

One of my favorites that probably no one here has even seen is the Bernie Mac "Chess" episode. I'm not sure if that is the official name of it but he starts teaching his nephew, who wants a paintball gun, to play chess, because he says that his nephew will be better off learning to play chess, which according to Bernie is about 'using people's nature against them'. The nephew catches on better than Bernie thinks and starts using everyone's nature against them, lol, including getting Bernie hooked on paintball at the end, so he can get his paintball gun. It's brilliant.

36. I still say that!
Still quoting WKRP after 25 years. I still say "Chai chai" and "With God as my witness I thought that turkeys could fly"! The good thing is lots of people still remember where those quotes came from.

Johnny: "Psst--Les, it's 'Chee Chee Rod-REE-gez.'"

Les: (beat) (with air of superiority) "...CHAI CHAI..."

:rofl:

42. Cheers...More than one or two....
The episode where Cliff wears the behavior conrol device.(AL: "Dance, mailman")

Woody and Kelly's wedding. The Preacher that dies, the dumbwaiter, Woody and Kelly's tryst (Kelly: "Making it with the Woodman") the german count etc. Two parter.

And my favorite; The one where Sam gets back at the gang by faking Gary's (old Town tavern) death, hiring actors to make it seem the mafia is involved and then shipping the gang off on a bus, who then get dumped in the middle of nowhere.

34. The "Friends" Ep where Joey is a sex addict.
"I'm Monica! I'm disgusting! I stalk guys and...keep their underpants."

Or the "Friends" Thanksgiving ep in '99: "That was a lot of information to get in thirty seconds."
