Today I was thinking about the funniest moments of situation comedies.  I was thinking about times that made me laugh out loud.  Here are a few of my favorites.

1) The Marble Rye, Seinfeld.  I was busting a gut when Jerry was on the sidewalk, trying to heave a loaf of bread up to George in an apartment.

2) Carry a rich man around in his pajamas, Cheers. I was howling with the various excuses Norm gave to the CEO (I can't remember his character's name, but he was played by Tom Skarret) while he was trying to rescue Rebecca from his closet.  "Bees!  Killer bees!" and "It is my dream to carry a rich man around his yard in his pajamas."

3) Pick on Dick, Newhart.  Don Rickles guest starred on this episode, where an insult comic was placed as a co-host on Dick Lauden's show.  This was the funniest that I have ever seen Don Rickles.  Dick had a hard time getting through his show because his new co-host was being so mean to him.

4) The Cookie Canister, Everybody Loves Raymond.  Marie thinks that Patricia hasn't returned a cookie tin.  They get in a fight over it.  Patricia realizes that she actually has it, and Patricia and Ray try to sneak it back into Marie and Frank's house.  Ultimately, Frank ends up with the tin, and tells Marie that he was hiding it "as a joke."  His excuse cracked me up.

5) Eulogy to Chuckles the Clown, Mary Tyler Moore Show. Ted Baxter's on-air eulogy to Chuckles the Clown had me holding my stomach in.  "A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants."

I may have a few more: there's a really funny city council meeting from Newhart, I have to find a favorite from "Coupling" and "Men Behaving Badly".  The "Coupling" scene that I remember was from the dinner party episode.  "Is it Legal" and "The Thin Blue Line" also have a few funny moments.  "The Simpsons'" funniest episode was when Homer was the nuclear plant's union representative. "King of the Hill" hit a high point when the guys ended up burning down a firehouse as volunteer firemen.

Any more that I've forgotten?
