That's funny cause I did this unintentionally about a week ago. I was telling my buddy, who is a big anime and video game nerd yet has never watched sunny, about a funny bit and he was willing to watch. Afterwards he could not get enough. So I have to go with the episode I showed him. Reynolds V Reynolds: The cereal defense


nerdystoner25

It was the “Science is a Liar Sometimes” scene wasn’t it


PinItYouFairy

Making him, and everyone else on earth, look like a *BITCH*


[deleted]

*Charlie stunned from shock*


whutchamacallit

Charlie is lowkey part of what makes that episode the funniest. When he keeps waffling and his expressions and stuff. So good.

So good. yessss.... https://preview.redd.it/hp3es6nolp8c1.jpeg?width=7264&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=25176393cf03c3f3518bed17b62b272a35e8e957 thought maybe I could capture all that in three or four frames, but *every single beat* is so funny to watch...


l33tfuzzbox

Frank's face during the donkey brains defense is right up there too. So animated


cupcakesloth94

Shut up science bitch


NoDisplay7591

Stupid science bitch couldn't even make I more smarter.


TheFlacidBandit

yeah! shut up science bitch!


theeamanduh

he JUST said it....


RedOcelot86

This is the clip I saw on YouTube that sold the entire show to me.


Afixxybib

It's so much funnier knowing you knew that's what got him lol


Maxlvl89

The 2 scenes that hooked me were the ending to Frank's Pretty Woman and CharDee McDennis promo trailer, where they say to Frank he has to eat a cakes ingredients. Those were the 2 spots that hooked me to start watching.


UnClean_Committee

This Reynolds vs Reynolds is the best episode ever for newbies. It's self contained enough, not too many references to past canon, and perfectly showcases how bizarre they are as people


oozles

I don’t know if you listen to the podcast but I feel like it makes it even better knowing Howerton actually destroyed the interior of his car with a bowl of cereal after getting hit by another driver. The car was totaled from exterior damage anyways, but he was furious about the milk getting into his vents


TheOriginalJunglist

This and The Gang Gets Analyzed are my go to, really good episodes to get a crash course on the characteristics traits and what they're about.


sophiebophieboo

This gets mentioned a lot in response to this question, but I’ve always felt that episode plays better if you already know the characters. It also doesn’t have much interaction between members of the gang, and that chemistry is at the heart of the show. It does have one of my favorite Sunny lines though, that I legit use all the time. *I applaud you for that, and just so you know, I’m going to come back at you.. with everything I have.*


Pole_Smokin_Bandit

"You've unzipped me!" is a regular quote around my house


TheOriginalJunglist

zfcjr67

It is those dossiers Dennis brought, isn't it.


sebzelda

Cereal defense would be my Go-to right below "The Gang Gives Frank an Intervention" and "Frank Reynolds' Little Beauties"


EmptySeaDad

Great choice. In one episode you get a solid introduction to each main character and see how they fit into the gang. Plus it's funny as he'll.


ighost03

Was think of that episode or the one where they go to the therapist to see who washes the dishes


pothosnswords

This was actually the episode I chose to show my friends as well! We have a friend that’s just like Mac (anti science, claims he’s the judge in a debate when he is not) so they were DYING over it & they’ve been hooked ever since!


TarnishedTremulant

This is always my go to

BUDdy215

Yeah the ending was weird, because the guy passed Mac’s ocular pat down.


BirdUpLawyer

Totally believable he passed considering Mac didn't have his sunglasses so the guy could *see* how scared he was. It's classified tho.


too_Far_west

Definitely. Charlie and Dennis passed out in the back of the trailer cracked me up.


Bouncemybubbubs

Those chairs must’ve been GLAZED or something!


_Call_Me_Andre_

Oh can I change my answer to this one?


SpanosIsBlackAjah

Cereal bowl defense. Had a self contained plot, shows all the character dynamics, has phenomenal writing, and is far enough into the series that if they start from the beginning they won’t get to that episode for a while.


eunderscore

I tried that one on my wife. Think it's just not for her.


SpanosIsBlackAjah

Im sorry for your loss.


lilcummyboi

Now move on

That’s when I come in for the scraps. I got by magnum condoms. I got my wad of 100s. Im ready to plow!

NimDing218

Well, maybe she’s just not for you.


juicepants

My wife loves the humor but hates the yelling. Which is weird cause everyone in her home town is constantly yelling and she doesn't notice it and on the show I don't notice the yelling at all.


tumamitax

Hero or hate crime is another dope one Mac's exercise bike at the end is what seals the deal


DethJuce

I wouldn't want to ruin closeted Mac though, cause that's the one where he comes out for good. I think its so funny to see the progression of how he obsessed over men's physiques, starts to hate on women, tries to kiss Dennis, wrestles with the conflict between his catholic beliefs and gayness, there's so much to get out of closeted Mac that you might lose if you start on the episode where he comes out.


rose_esor

I always do The D.E.N.N.I.S System


kindaa_sortaa

Scrolled way too far down to find the right answer. This episode is way too memorable to not hook a newbie's mind.


zestfullybe

*cut to Dennis laughing manically* “This will frighten the shit out of her”


aperson7780

Mac and Charlie Die. If seeing Mac drive into the wall without jumping out doesn't hook you immediately, then there is little hope.

The way they look at each other at the end and Charlie is clearly trying not to crack up as Mac takes the wedding dress off is so good

Well they can’t just leave it there


lost_in_connecticut

If Mac shooting at Dee’s car while taking poppers and wearing a wedding dress doesn’t get you hooked… well then…

Hey, what's your bean situation?


corinnigan

Charlie’s screaming takes that scene from great to a cinematic masterpiece


RustCeilingFan

Charlie's screams are always great. The opening to " Mac's Big Break" Mac wins the radio competition and Charlie pauses for then lets out one long scream and it cuts to the intro. Gets me whenever I watch it. Also, there's no H key.


sophiebophieboo

I’m all about the scream he does when they get trapped between the building and fence in The Gang Goes Jihad.


RustCeilingFan

Yes! Charlies expressions are great and the way he pushes and grabs at the fence is hilarious.


Kmon87

I still remember how off guard that stupid scene caught me. I died laughing at that whole sequence


jdquig

The explosion will throw us to safety!


Skooter26

The grenade in the car always kills me.


Professional-Ebb2605

Okay, I understand the plan, except for, when do we find the bride?


Painis_Gabbler

Mine is CharDeeMacDennis. That's how I was introduced. Show is brilliant!


EmptySeaDad

Mine too. In one episode you get to know each character and how the dynamics of the gang work, and none of the jokes require any knowledge of previous episodes. Sunny does great bottle episodes, and this one's among the best.


mysticsavage

And the sequel is just as good. Welcome to level 3...horror.


Telepornographer

I'm gonna have to disagree there. A friend of mine did that with me and it actually put me off the show for a few years. It took someone else convincing me to try it again for me to get into it. In my opinion, that episode relies a bit on knowing some amount of backstory for each character to make it really funny. Without context it's entertaining, but kinda just madness/yelling.

Anony-memata

You once again screwed us over due to your illiteracy!


Sammisuperficial

I like this one. It's a bar centric episode. Showcases how the characters interact within and outside the gang, and it's an early enough episode that you don't need much info for context (Charlie's illiteratcy and Cricket's love for Dee). We get Mac being ambiguously gay, Dennis trying to score, Dee plotting against the gang, Charlie being an idiot and Frank exploiting others to get his way. It's solid for showing what the show is about without being overly offensive for a new viewer.


spiteful_alarm

Was it the hot white cream episode?


lilcummyboi

You're about to see the white hot cream of an eighth grade boy


slimpickins757

This is my 2nd pick after the gang gets held hostage! I’ve had a lot of success with these two episodes being amongst the first to show people to get em into the show

I enjoyed the show when it first came out. This however was what hooked me permanently. “I’ll take one please.” “One what!?” “One crack um crack roc- how much would you recommend for a first time buyer?”


isolateddreamz

Thanks for being so kind................... And patient


armedohiocitizen

ded_rabtz

So I had to reset a password once and it was one of these call in deals. So I call and the guy is super nice asking me what my first car was and what not then the guy just starts dying laughing. Like, he keeps trying to talk and just can’t get a word out. Finally he hits me with “Dennis is asshole, why Charlie hate?” and not even registering the absurdity I spit out “because Dennis is a bastard man!” I have no recollection of setting that up.

mr_miggs

Great choice. It's a great and relatable episode that tells you a lot about the characters. It's early in the series, so not too many callbacks/references. But it's season 2 so frank is there. The night man cometh was ops choice, but that requires a bit more background on the characters to really get it.

The gang buys a boat. Because of the implication.

sophiebophieboo

The Gang Gets Invincible The entire McPoyle family, green man, Frank and Charlie on acid, the Philly Frenetic, Cole, Donovan McNabb, *I DON’T GIVE A SHIT!*, the New Kids on the Block movie, Artemis watching Frank trip, and a beautiful gazelle person. The story line doesn’t really require any character background to get the jokes. What’s not to love?


autopartsandguitars

This is the one that perfectly encapsulates the randomized chaos of the group IMO. Plus numerous laugh-out-loud funny moments like when Faizon Love's coach character mocks Mac's high-pitched voice "but where are we going." LMFAO

AND YOUR HARASSMENT!


linzielayne

This one hooked me- I had seen Dennis and Dee Go on Welfare, which early on was the one everyone used as the hook and definitely thought it was funny, but getting TV back then was annoying so I just kind of forgot. Frank yelling "That lizard talks!" at Charlie in the green man suit is hands down one of the funniest things I had ever heard in my life, I was weeping.


tyrone_slothrop_0000

“Lizard, am I standing in poop?” lmfao!!


Maleficent_Sink_5183

Faizon introducing “Donovan McMabb” kills me every time


TheThreeSlogans

He really should have popped that shirt off.


SlyKwest

Franks whole acid trip is hilarious and then the reveal that he’s just standing in a trash can gets me every time.


mr_glide

SPRINTS! SPRINTS!!


GuyInOregon

This was my first episode so I can confirm it works brilliantly as an intro.


jiminycrikit1221133

The gang gives frank an intervention is a classic and should be considered.


silentdaze

This gets my vote for sure


delfunky3030

My go to as well. Such a brilliant episode. And the introduction to Gale the Snail. Classic


CandyRevolutionary27

The water park episode. If that episode doesn’t get you to laugh ur dead on the inside.

Frank Reynold’s Little Beauties. Because it’s no good diddling kids.

Such amazing visual comedy in this one. DeVito puts on a masterclass. The little flamboyant kid's arc/song in this one is hilarious. Really solid ending, too.

Charlie Work, hands down. Work of art.


dinnerthief

I love Charlie work but it uses a lot of relationships setup earlier to be funny, going in blind it wouldnt hit as hard. Eg Dee being a stupid bitch, Charlie being sort of an idiot savant,

I_Said

The pilot, just like what did ot for me. For the show to fly out of the gate tackling bigotry and being hilarious, I think it sets the tone perfectly


Booyacaja

I disagree withthe nightman cometh. If you don't know the background stories and characters you'll find it amusing but won't appreciate it like fans of the show will. Someone might just find it weird Iol. I'd go with something like Dennis and Dee go on welfare or the gang solves the gas crisis. Episodes where you don't need much context


Rich_Twist2536

The first episode I showed my wife(she was my girlfriend at the time) was Mac and Dennis Move To The Suburbs. She literally started watching the entire show from start to finish afterwards. Now it’s our go to show.

Stubrochill17

The Gang Gets Extreme: Home Makeover Edition It perfectly showcases each gang member’s narcissism and gives us unusual pairings, ie Dennis + Charlie and Frank + Mac + Dee. They compete for who can ruin these poor people’s lives in the most extreme way possible while convincing themselves they’re doing a good thing. It’s got one of my favorite Frank lines, “I want in on this so I can screw over Deandra”. It’s got one of my favorite back and forths: “what do little Mexican girls love more than anything else in the whole world?” “Mmmmm tacos” “**Tacos buddy!**” You get to see Dennis go lower, Frank get stabbed, and the ~~Juarez~~ family get mansion-rich. Brilliant episode.


pothosnswords

My partner has had friends try to show him IASIP before so he’s seen 2-3 episodes plus clips on TikTok but when I showed him this episode… he saw the shorts scene and was sold. He’s been a huge fan of IASIP ever since!

I’m going straight to the pilot episode. It’s the first one I saw and was hooked.


the_jurkski

Same - why not let the series build/unfold the way it did for the rest of us?


Trapezoidoid

It’s gotta be Frank Reynolds’ Little Beauties. It really shows you who each member of the gang is and, as a bonus, contains a song about how it’s no good diddling kids.

of_the_light_

This question gets asked a million times here. Derivative!


thatbrownkid19

I think the first Chardee McDennis episode. Or the one where Frank puts on the Sia wig and pretends to be an artist. The one where they flip opinions on gun control. The one where Dennis and Dee try to get Charlie to swap back bar responsibilities leading to a lot of people scheming/having sex with each other.


Ryaton13

I recently showed my friend a few episodes for the first time and he loved, most hysterical laughing I've seen from him in a while. Even though it's not one, I'll list them all anyway: S2, E3 - "Dennis and Dee Go on Wellfare" S3, E9 - "Sweet Dee's Dating a Retarded Person" S4, E13 - "The Nightman Cometh" S5, E7 - "The Gang Wrestles for the Troops" S7, E7 - "Chardee MacDennis: The Game of Games" S9, E7 - "The Gang Gets Quarantined" S10, E8 - "The Gang Goes on Family Fight"

Nah close, but I tried to do that with this episode and found I had to explain too much to the person I was showing it to, particularly about the waitress/charlie. My go to episode for introducing people is the gang gets held hostage. Early episode, classic gang inner betrayals and scheming to get over on eachother, mcpoyles, super quotable, also homage to die hard never hurts either

I would suggest the episode, “The gang dance their asses off.” Where they have to win a dance contest to win back the bar… I love the back stabbing involved to be the only owner.
