What's your favorite Thanksgiving episode?


I have to say this show has some great ones, but my favorite is probably The Bird from season 8. What about you guys?

reply

I love the Tofu Turkey.

For me, it's a toss-up between "No Fat" from Season 3, "Fighting In-Laws" from Season 5, and "Debra's Parents" from Season 9. I suppose "No Fat" is the most Thanksgiving-centered episode of those three, so I'll go with that one.

My favorite is "No Fat". The one where Debra makes the fish is good, too.

"No Fat" wins hands down. I love a few parts in this episode:

-When Robert says he likes the tofu as it melts in his mouth, and he has trouble stomaching the mouthful as he says it lol.

-When Robert asks Ray to try some, and Ray says he tried some already but the shape warped back into place.

-At the end when they're all having thanksgiving together from the hamper at night - how Frank says "I rolled over in bed and there was no great wall of Marie there to stop me" lol.

I love this show :)

The Bird and Older Women

I know the second isn't very Thanksgiving-themed but it had great jokes and I love how Ray gets accused of liking the maid they used to have. I just find it funny that Frank agrees even though I don't believe Ray actually liked her. He just goes along with Debra's assumption.

I'd have to go for the Tofu turkey. That was really funny.

The Older Women was funny too but I found Debra to be her most snappiest to Ray in that episode. We know how upset she was re her parents divorce, but she did take it out on Ray a lot.

I agree her being upset with him was kinda over exaggerated in that episode. I never thought Ray's remark about wanting someone different was that insensitive or rude.

I guess Debra and Marie preferred it to be a younger woman just so they could be mad that it was in fact a younger woman.

Just watched Fighting in Laws. The part where Debra tries to put the turkey in the oven and it fell on the floor, she tries to pick It up but it's too slippery and keeps getting away. In the end Debra picks it up and throws it into the oven, no pan, and slams the oven door shut. Then Ray remarks, " I always wondered where the flavour came from". Too funny.

The one with Mel...to Ally: "Do YOU fight yet?" Debra: "What did I do with the squash? Ray, it's my only yellow!" Ray: "Are you as turned on as I am right now?" Frank: (after getting the Heimlich maneuver for choking on the fish).."Please pass the fish!" lol

reply

"No Fat" for reasons already stated by other posters, especially the ending. Marie pretending she was sleepwalking, "what's the use of living longer if you're miserable, dear?" "I ask myself the same thing every day." "You know what makes me happy??? Butter!!!"


And the Bird. That sweet little old lady making the "kkkcchh" sound and using the hand signal to show how she took care of the bird. Then Robert suddenly agreeing with the other side of the argument after he heard what Debra said. Oh, then the herd rushing for the table to eat another dead bird.
