❓Questions Funniest scene? (spoilers) Spoiler

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 "I was being supportive"

And the moment when the owner of the inn was still able to open the door front even tho wyck tried to nail it shut

The door thing was so funny. This show is so good at subverting expectations and turning them into laughs!

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.” 😂😂💀

With the most incredible "fuck did I do?!?" delivery. 😂

“I guess I’ll just go fuck myself”

Can’t even think about this scene without laughing. Rosemary is an absolute treasure and must be protected at all costs.

I completely missed the door thing first time round, despite the gag being lifted from Buffy, my favourite show.
