Good! The LA contingent has a lot of potential to be amusing and adorable.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I thought "Win Some, Dose Some" and "Lust in Translation" were the funniest episodes overall.
Okay, I've got to add "Jabberwocky" to that list because that was awesome. "The environment—everyone likes it. And so, we do too."
And the presentation about nothing was such a perfect parody of flashy corporate presentations about nothing. It is perhaps the first time the word VAINGLORIOUS has ever appeared in a sitcom.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So, now that the regular seasons are over. What were the funniest single episodes of shows you watched this year?
I'd have to pick two Archer eps, "The Double Deuce" (the flashback episode for Woodhouse involving H. Jon Benjamin's immortal line reading: "That's a lot of scalps!") and "Stage Two" (Chemo rampage!) and also the season ender for Raising Hope "Don't Vote For This Episode" (another flashback including Drakkar Noir).
So what did I miss on Community, 30 Rock and elsewhere?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Dwight's snowmen on The Office.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I really liked the Raising Hope episode with hide-and-seek and brother husbands. Booyah! Community was not quite as awesome for me this season as it has been; I was watching it somewhat haphazardly, which didn't help.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I thought the Simpsons was particularly strong this year. There was one episode, 500 Keys, where the A and B plots came together in a way that left me gasping for air.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
My picks would be the Jenga and trpped-in-the-attic episodes of Raising Hope, "Mein Coming Out" from Happy Endings, and "Blame It on the Alcohol" from Glee.

Are there no Veridian Dynamics ads in the second season? Noooooo.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I thought the same thing, P-C, but there is one in the second episode. It definitely seems like they cut down on them, though.
Yes, I just started watching the second season on Netflix.
