Fans agree the barrel bit is one of the funniest in the show

There's just something utterly hilarious about watching four women try to move a barrel filled with maple syrup into the back of their car. The writers behind "Mom" understood this and had the four central women in the show do precisely that. It's clearly a standout moment for fans, if that Reddit thread is any indication, as numerous people chime in with comments about how hilarious they find the sequence. Some of the words of praise that poured in include, "I die every time" and "Love that line."

One user even had an amusing anecdote of how real life synced up with the expectations of the episode, writing, "My boyfriend and I just watched this episode for the first time and he was like 'why don't they just move the car instead?' and then she said that line. The look on his face was priceless." And it isn't just fans who love the episode. The cast highlighted it during an interview (https://youtu.be/2-zQDOFpmF4), and Jaime Pressly (https://www.looper.com/437180/why-megan-from-a-haunted-house-2-looks-so-familiar/), who played Jill, had this to say, "That was one of my favorite episodes. And it was one episode about all of us being together as opposed to different stories going on at the same time."

The sequence probably wouldn't have happened in real life, but as long as it delivered the laughs, that's all that mattered.
