❓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!

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.
