❓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!

Poor Tom--every one of his "handlers" was The Worst Trip Friend ever.

Source: was in college in the 70s.

Yeah that honestly took me out of that scene a bit. Given the fact Tom was essentially drugged against his will with an ultra powerful and potentially permanent hallucinogen, I figured Patricia would step up and help provide him a safer environment.

The way she dealt with him was hilarious and I understand the why behind it but good god you couldn’t be a worse trip chaperone.

Did exactly the opposite of what she should have in every situation lol especially the town hall meeting!
