'''*The door suddenly opens and Gordon falls flat on his face, flopping around like a dying fish before ending up on his back*'''

** As James argues with his roommate the importance of hard work and asks who will be the leaders of tomorrow, Gordon (who had left for his own room) suddenly shambles through the door, lands face first on the floor, and rolls onto his back.
--->'''Gordon:''' How did you guys beat me here?\\

* "Jim the Psychic", in which Jim foretell's Alex's death. Most of the episode is pretty bland, but the payoff is well worth it.

* Latka's funniest moment would have to be his daydream in "Fantasy Borough" - a revenge fantasy in which he and Louie have switched roles, costumes, and personalities.
** The best part is his fantasy was about to end with Louie being shot by a firing squad before being yelled at to get back to work. Before he does, Latka quickly closes his eyes again and whispers "[[BlackComedy Fire]]."

* Jim trying to sell a vacuum cleaner in "On the Job". After his tortuous sales pitch, which involves dumping bunch of dirt, ketchup, grease, etc. onto a lady's carpet and grinding it in with his feet, the punchline comes: [[spoiler:"Ooooh, yeah... I didn't get the vacuum job. I'm selling encyclopedias."]]

** His reaction to music from Latka's country after listening to it for a few seconds: "You just never know what [[BobDylan Dylan's]] gonna do next..."

* The episode with Jim's "origin story"; the sight of the good Reverend dressed all college-preppy has to be seen to be believed. Then, he tries out some "special" brownies, and the rest is history - Christopher Lloyd's acting as James morphs into Jim is gold.

* In "Louie Sees the Light", the normally nasty Louie has what he thinks is going to be life-threatening surgery, so he makes a deal with God that if he survives, he'll be nicer. It turns out only to be a very large gallstone and Louie gets back to work quickly, surprising everyone with how nice he is now. But Bobby has made a bet that Louie can't be nice for one whole day. When Bobby gives in and starts to pay off to Alex, Louie becomes very angry at the ruse, wherein he had baited Louie with a false "accident" report to get him angry, and proceeds to hang Bobbie from an engine hoist. Then he delivers the following epic speech:

-->'''Jim''': How do?... Egg split in the womb, huh?

-->'''LATKA:''' So I was walking around, eh, lost, and I go into the bar and I tell everyone I am looking for a fight.
-->'''BOBBY:''' Uh, did you find one?
-->'''LATKA:''' Well, lots of people offered to help.
-->[...]
-->'''LATKA:''' So, how was your fight?
-->'''TONY:''' I won!
-->'''LATKA:''' Oh, you are a bad dude!

-->'''JIM:''' [panicked] ADI-FEEBI [runs for the door] ADI-FEEBI!
-->'''LOUIE:''' [leans out of the booth] Get back here! You don't even know what "adi-feebi" means!
-->'''JIM:''' So what? [leaves]
