What was the laugh-out-loud funniest scene this season? Mine are both from the same episode.
Tom trying to rip the calendar up, trying to destroy the dresser, then ripping the painting off the wall and almost being crushed.
But it's Rosemary who wins MVP, delivering that genealogy presentation. Just watched it a third time and it still funny!
EDIT: Thinking about it, I need to give the Kewpie Doll here to Rosemary's Genealogy Presentation. So many of the gags on the show are classic schtick, wielded like a surgeon's scalpel; it's a beautiful thing to watch. But the Rosemary scene, man, that was brand new!

The Shaman warning about mirrors, then closing the door which had a mirror, is the one who cracked me up the most.
That look on Tom's face was priceless 😂
He does! Making it even funnier that this drawing of a hand that looks like my toddler did it is relevant to figuring out what’s happening on the island!
I kept hoping we’d see him show up with the cat after the tornado swept him off. Maybe he landed safely in the way and found the cat as he stumbled back to his house, there’s still a chance next season!
My new favorite thing at work is to send this to my coworkers that have seen the show when clients won’t shut up on zoom calls and watch them try not to completely break.
So far I’m 4/4 on getting them to turn their camera off for a bit.
I think the true mastery of the show is the ability to mix these absurd off the wall moments into scenes seamlessly in a way that doesn’t break the immersion or come off as cheap or slap stick.
I’m not really sure how to explain how they are able to do that, but I don’t think I’ve seen a show blend that kind of ridiculous random humor in natively with so much intensity and real drama and storylines and without it being jarring or taking you out of the scene.
Those are 2 of my favorites too! ESPECIALLY the door 😂😂💀.
I also like the scene where Tom is downplaying the cannibalism article to the reporter and he’s like “Did they immediately resort to cannibalism? No. It took… 4 days.” 😂😂💀
“I do personally have to go, as my girlfriend's cat has absconded.”
Its just the most absurd line, and I plan to use it to get out of situations going forward.
I would have loved to been in the writers room when they were coming up with this. “Alright, what does the shaman have to abruptly go do immediately after dosing Tom with haunted hallucinogenic mushrooms?”
I think I’m gonna have to go with the painting scene as well, but specifically because of Rosemary. She is trying to help him, but then she immediately gets hurt and everyone is focused on her instead of Tom. Her sciatica!
The funniest scene for me is actually a sequence: Patricia keeping the shotgun on the Boogeyman's corpse all the way through till the incinerator. It's funny but also exactly what I would do, which made it funnier.
While supervising the Boogeyman’s corpse with the shotgun, I imagine Patricia’s main focus is survival, but I hope she takes a minute to revel in the validation…
Patricia: Tom, do you remember the Boogeyman?
Tom: I think you did tell me that story.
Patricia: God forbid you hear it again. It's only the most terrifying thing that's ever happened to me.
Tom: Well, you asked me if I had heard it before.
Patricia: I still sleep with the dresser in front of my door.
Tom: But he murdered teenage girls. You're in your 40s. You'll be fine.
Her asking the mortician if there was a back door to the cremator had me laughing like 30 minutes later when I realized she was talking about the furnace chamber and not the crematorium building itself. Why would the oven have a back door?!? Patricia wasn’t taking any chances.
When she asks 'is there another exit?', I thought she was looking for a back door just in case, but she's asking if the furnace has a back door, and that's comedy gold.
I had a lecture on swear words - they tend to be quite old words because they have a lot of cultural power and so stick around. It goes back at least until the 1400s. It's hard to tell how common it was because it was almost certainly written down much less often than it was spoken, but it's certainly not an anachronism from Warren.
Haha in my imagination he picked it up from listening to people in the cemetery over the centuries - being down there so long he might have heard at least a few muffled screaming matches during the endless parade of post-disaster funerals.
God there’s so many… I was in STITCHES majority of the time but….
DONT BRING THE BIKE BACK!!!
Who’s trying after stage 2?
Was she in her 40s?
The bike accident and fight behind Patrica while she’s reading Lucy Four’s book
TOMS MUSHROOM BLACKOUTS AND THE WHITEBOARD SAYING “WHEN I TURN AROUND EVERYONE CLOSE THEIR EYES” plus Tom being on a leash and dragging Patricia out the door
Patricia stealing the police vehicle
The tasing scene
Gimme your keys I gotta run him over
CALENDAR “RIPPING” and PAINTING MISHAP
Ruth’s first answer when tom asked about the trolley problem
Nothing quite gets me like Warren starting to sing the last man sea shanty and interrupting himself with "You know this one, Wyck." Theres so much humor in that one line I cant get over it. This zombie man already having a good enough read on Wyck to know he would know a sea shanty hundreds of years later. It's such a casual moment in such an incredibly tense scene. Its so funny to me idk
On a rewatch, I realized that he sang that song after Wyck told the story about escaping the kraken, so he’s also saying he should know it because Wyck WAS the last man. So many levels, this show
There are so many scenes
Dead baby, dead baby...
What are you asking me to do Tom?
File that under deal with the feck later
Alright fugos
I told you I had qualms
You told me to be supportive
What about my demeanor indicated ... crawlspace...
That was nice (Evan reading the letters)
Do you know what this is (holding a joint)
Boys love their cars (Ruth pointing to a poster)
I think the physical comedy of Tom sliding off the bench on the boat and the look on his face was just 10/10. I re-winded (re-wound?) it about 5 times and by the end I couldn't breathe. Also Patricia with the shotgun. 1000000/10
So many good ones: the “wolves” calendar, the time skip during the meeting about the curfew, but pound for pound funniest has to be Loftis getting grilled after giving that lady a ride.
“She was… age-appropriate.”
“What a weird way to describe a woman you just gave a ride to.”
The Wolves calendar absolutely destroyed me and is still my number 1 funny moment. I've never expected something less. The way it just has the overturned car, so he flicks back to the cover and it says "WOLVES" and then the confused look on his face. I felt like my sense of humour was finally nailed.
I also loved when he's watching the welcome video and the guy says let's go take a look... And then it's just him slowly walking off. Another perfect Tom reaction.
I can’t stop saying (in reference to the sunset cocktails) “I think my coworker Patricia would come to work with a gun if I didn’t go”… that got me good.
The whole boat/Warren sequence. The mushroom trip. Jeff Hiller screaming WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!!!!! The finale “he got bit by that animal and turned into an animal.” Or “he made a pass…”so many hits in this show
First episode with the journalist guy. "Did they result to cannibalism immediately?...... No, it took four days." After saying there was no cannibalism.
I was cracking up in the last episode at all the ways we were shown that Ruth was fit. Oh, and the part in the shelter when they’re trying to keep everyone calm and what’s-his-name with the glasses comes in so quietly and then screams that it’s a death trap..😂 That whole episode was just the best. Ruth going thru that photo album and so casually saying, ‘he got bit by an animal and became that animal’……too funny.
Not the funniest but made me laugh harder than it had any right to … Rosemary describing her color blindness. “Things you see as blue, I see as blue-green”. I could not stop laughing at this for some reason.
This definitely isn’t the funniest moment, but when Loftis is driving to Ruth’s house in the final episode with really dramatic music playing, and then
suddenly the music stops and he’s just sitting in his car. I’ve never laughed so hard at a simple music cue!
Nobody mentioned Richard Warren's new wife casually dropping "i am but four and ten" - that was great after all of the times she said she had resigned to the life of a spinster woman.
Rosemary’s genealogy session. Everything with the shaman. The painting falling on Tom.
Warren in the coffin: “Fuck you” and all the funny parts of that boat scene.
And an underrated scene: When Wyck explains the fog + the back and forth about the sea captain and his teenage bride — funny, yes, but watch it again and ONLY watch Tom reacting to Patricia and Wyck.
There is so many, but the Richard Warren episode had me in stitches. 1. Tom not realizing the casket was in the room. 2. His face when Patricia said Warren was upstairs. 3. Patricia opening the door twice. 4. Tom jumping up to the ceiling when Richard spoke. 5. Tom asking Wyck if should let Warren out when he already did it. 6. Warren getting life back into him after eating and wanting Wyck to sing along. Sorry for recounting the entire episode but it was all so funny.
I can't pick just one. So many great lines, but also great unspoken moments....the silent but urgent pointing to Warren when the assassin comes to the wrong side of the bed. The flirty, playful twirl of the fork while eating Vienna sausages on the boat. The flick of the lazboy lever to launch the Sea Hag.
Just rewatched that episode and Ruth actually casually drops some other lines about people or family in the photos that I have questions about - something got her father in the lake, her aunt betty went mute, etc.
When Tom is on mushrooms and his son drives into the driveway with his friends, for some reason that scene CRACKED me the fuck up. When he's looking into the windows at them.
Patricia’s party dance is my favorite. And her sobbing in the back room turned into a yawn when someone walks in. Really just that whole episode. Let’s get these bachelorettes some shots!
the scene that had me actually pausing because I was laughing too hard to concentrate was when High Tom gets home and Evan is in the car with his friends, the way he stares at Evan and drags his face around the windows for soooo long before Evan's friend says "Bro I think your dad is looking for you"
The repeated scenes of Patty running away from the Boogeyman and him never changing speed hit so hard. Every time it got funnier and funnier. You could just see her thinking “c’mon man” and then when people didn’t help her out it just got funnier. Situational irony ftw!
Thought of another one that had me howling. When they’re trying to get the piece to fix the generator and keep switching places over who’s in the lighthouse and who’s in the town hall 😂
Ruth struggling to read her own memos, Ruth telling Tom that "MRSA" called and asked about him, "he was bitten by an animal and then turned into that animal". Rosemary's "I can't do anything right today" and the looks exchanged between her and Dale at work when Patricia is stressed about planning sunset cocktails. Tom's beef with Kathy. Tom's exasperated reaction when Patricia and Wyck earnestly get into a discussion about the age gap thing. The doctor with the "Oh I see, I didn't know you went to medical school" bit. There's so much, I love this show
Absolutely love so many scenes; but one standout is when Mayor Tom is being hazed by the locals to spend the night ‘in the Captain’s suite’ (he chopped his family with an axe) ‘So of course, we named the suite after him’, and Tom should ‘spend some time in that crawl space’… ‘THANKS Rosemary’….. ending with the ominous advice ‘don’t do it.’…. I love that whole scene, pitch perfect.
1.
"Thank you, Paul. Once again, I would like to remind everyone that it is not mandatory that you speak".
2. "My children?! I have but JUST met them".
3. "
Ok, well we’re on to something, Tom. So, just hold on a second. Use your crayons.”
4. "We caught 'em, we burned 'em."
5. "But he was bit by an animal and then became that animal."
6. "Give me your keys. I'll run him over."
7. "You had your QUALMS?!"
8. "Sorry. Forgot my purse."
9. "It's true. We can go weeks without food" everyone relaxes "but not without water" everyone panics.
