Top Ten Tuesday: Best Halloween TV Episodes

t10t-penguin1

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly list making meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and it’s one of my favorite things about book blogging! Each week is a fun new topic for us all to flail over, and I love creating my own list just as much as I love perusing everyone else’s! I’ve found both amazing books to add to my TBR pile, and amazing people to add to my life!

This week’s topic?

(Well, technically it was a freebie, but this is what I ended up going with!)

The Office has had so many GREAT Halloween episodes, how is it even possible to pick just one?! (Spoiler alert, I picked two…)

Most memorable part of the episode:
The part featured in this gif, of course! I LIVE for PB&J air high-fives.

Ok, let’s be real – it wouldn’t be a Halloween list without Charlie Brown’s Great Pumpkin!

Most memorable part of the episode:
*hides under rock as she realizes she really should watch this again sometime soon…*

I honestly don’t think I realized how much I missed Boy Meets World until I saw this pop up in memorable Halloween episodes – now I want to go back and rewatch all of the seasons!

Most memorable part of the episode:
There are SO MANY GOOD PARTS, how do you expect me to choose? I love how cheesy and upfront they do the whole “horror” genre, and it’s perfectly hilarious that Jennifer Love Hewitt starred in this episode as “Jennifer Love Fefferman!” I think the inside jokes are really what makes this episode so good, so I’m going to have to go with the scene above – “Oh my God! They killed Kenny!!” (lololol forever)

I have always been super envious of families that go all out for any holiday ever, so this episode with Claire absolutely losing her mind to have the scariest and best haunted house definitely struck a chord with me.

Most memorable part of the episode:
Gloria accidentally gets Jay a bunch of “baby Jesus” instead of “baby cheeses” because of her accent and a misunderstanding, so she spends the rest of the episode talking in a ridiculously forced (and hilarious) American accent. Dead. I am dead.

This one was a tough choice, because there is another great Halloween themed episode in the Buffyverse (where all of the characters turn into their costumes to hilarious and disastrous results), but something about this one just gets me so I picked this!

Most memorable part of the episode:
As always, I think the thing that stands out the most in all of Buffy is the humor (to me, anyways). This one has a really great ending that I don’t want to spoil for you, but let’s just say I actually laughed out loud when the big bad was finally … revealed. 😉

Ok, so I don’t know how I’m just now realizing this, but there’s only ONE Halloween themed epsiode of Friends?!  What, did they just skip this holiday in NYC in the 90s?

Most memorable part of the episode:
Chandler’s embarrassment throughout the episode makes for some really great laughs, but it’s got to come down to the hilariously bad arm wrestling match between the bunny and Spudnik for what makes this episode so memorable.

I don’t know how anyone could ever want to be Leslie’s arch nemesis because HELLO she’s basically the best person on the planet, yet we have Greg Pikitis … yet Greg Pikitis gave us this gem of an episode, so maybe we’re okay with it?!

Most memorable part of the episode:
Andy Dwyer is everything, and Andy Dwyer crying when people are jerks to him is even more everything than Andy Dwyer on a normal basis.

I was a HUGE fan of NCIS growing up (and I’m trying to catch back up now, I think I’m a season and a half behind?), and I knew as soon as I started doing this that I just had to feature one of their Halloween episodes. This one is actually just a fav episode for me in general, so it works pretty well!

Most memorable part of the episode:
How completely in awe of Abby the boys are, and how completely nonplussed she is about the entire thing. (Also, there’s a lot of great head slaps in this episode.)

I’m going to be honest with you here. I’ve seen like 6 episodes of It’s Always Sunny, ever … but this was one of them and my god did I laugh or what. (It’s haaaarrrdddd for me to watch this show, because it is so crass and takes things so far sometimes, but it also has such amazing parts … I don’t know. It’s a struggle.)

Most memorable part of the episode:
The whole episode is being told in flashbacks by different people, and with every flashback the MC of the episode, Dee, becomes more and more of a bird (which is apparently a running joke throughout the series, her being joked for being birdlike). It starts out as a few feathers glued to her costume, but by the end she’s a full blown ostrich and I was DEAD with laughter.
