'Chuckles Bites the Dust' from 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show' blends death and grief with laughter in one of televisions greatest sitcom episodes ever made.

I have seen that episode several times and to me, it is one of my all time favorite sitcom episodes. The premise was so bizarre concerning the death of Chuckles the Clown. The funeral scene where Mary burst in tears after trying to stifle a laugh was a classic.
