We've had a poll about your favorite episode. Now let's be more specific. What was the funniest scene or moment? Here are mine.
1. Nell's hosting her PORKO meeting at the Kanisky house. When the Chief enters, the PORKO members mistake him for a new member, and they cheerfully serenade him with the insulting welcome song. I love the look on Nell's face when she realizes what's happening. And the look of shock followed by anger on the Chief face before he explodes with rage. A few seconds later, he and Nell walk into the kitchen, and they both get stuck in the doorway as they try to pass through it at the same time.
2. The Chief beats up Sam's imaginary friend, Debbie Jo: throwing her on the ground and stomping on her, slamming a dresser drawer shut on her head repeatedly and then claiming to pull her head off. It's actually pretty violent, and Sam's reaction is panicked and sad, but I can't help laughing at his mixture of glee and rabid anger as he vigorously fights the invisible enemy.
3. In the "Flashback" episode, after Margaret invites Nell to stay the night, she and the Chief wake up butt-to-butt in the same bed. Margaret: "Oh, I see you've met."
Here's a tiny thing that cracks me up: at the end of the Christmas episode, the family sings a Christmas song together, but the Chief sings a completely different song (Silent Night) than the rest of the group. He did this two years in a row!
I guess my other favorite scenes would be all the physical fights between Nell and Addie. When they got mad at each other, they reverted back to their 6-year-old selves. Only two women who had been friends their whole lives could get away with insulting and roughhousing each other and then go back to being best friends again a few minutes later. Hmmm...Nell and Addie's best scenes; that's a topic that probably deserves its own thread.
