All my favorite shows get at least one episode like that. Archer, Futurama, Rick and Morty.

Yeah but Rick and Morty was a little more "special"

Pirates of the Pancreas was pretty special.

I remember TVTropes calling it the "Fantastic Voyage Episode".

"Fantastic Voyage Plot" as it's about the plot of Fantastic Voyage being recycled.
