Please note that I am 100% serious with this list:
SNL: the ‘Exorcist 2’ sketch (with Richard Pryor)
SNL: the ‘Ed Glosser, Trivial Psychic’ sketch (I still say this is much better than the ‘Cowbell’ sketch)
Seinfeld: ‘The Outing’ Particularly the scene where the reporter is interviewing Jerry, and she increasingly believes Jerry and George are lovers
Blossom: the episode where they show Joey’s school video (this is the same episode which had that stupid Joey Lawrence music video, ugh)
Growing Pains: the episode where they show Ben’s school video
Mystery Science Theater 3000: the endless car ride in ‘Manos the Hands of Fate’, the scientist kissing (seriously) his Igor-like assistant in ‘The Wild World of Batwoman’, the countdown scene in ‘Time Chasers’
Full House: the very special episode in which the family thinks D.J. is drinking beer. Not a single joke is uttered in the last 5 minutes of the show*, allowing the audience to be fully immersed in the drama. (I’ve always thought that having jokes in ‘very special’ episodes, particularly during the serious moments, actually gets in the way of the drama. Really, I’m not kidding.)
The 90-second ‘Alamo Rent-A-Car’ ad from the 1994 Super Bowl: when I saw this ad, I immediately thought this would be ranked along Apple’s ‘1984’ and Coca-Cola’s ‘Mean Joe Green’ ads as one of the greatest Super Bowl commercials ever made
Lost: the first few minutes in the very first episode. The sense of confusion and disorientation suck you in
The Twilight Zone: ‘Eye of the Beholder’ Anybody who is familiar with the show will be able to predict what happens, but it is still a brilliant episode
Family Guy: Patrick Duffy in the shower, spoofing the infamous scene from ‘Dallas’ ("What’s Family Guy?"
Family Guy: The ‘Previously on Family Guy’ montage from episode 3x02 which shows the Family Guy characters in action movie moments. Hilarious
Buffy: The ‘Previously on Buffy’ montage from episode 5x22 which shows clips (and in some cases, single frames) from nearly EVERY previous episode
(* I know people will say ‘Hey you moron, Full House didn’t have any laughs during the entire series run!’ Well, I beat you to it, nyah)
