whats everyones favourite episode ? my alltime fave is "The Grapes of Wrath", the cleaner was a legend, looked like a super camp Agent Smith, and the making the wine scene was unforgetable.

Wow, that's a tough one. I've got a few faves.
I love Cooking the Books. Seeing Manny impersonate Jesus and Bernard trying to do his taxes are just classic scenes that are still funny no matter how many times you watch them.
Apart from those two, I love The Entertainer, Hello Sun, and A Little Flutter. I especially love the bit where Manny discovers he can play the piano...it's just brilliant.

ooh, tricky one. Can't decide between Elephants and Hens, Blood, or Grapes of Wrath. E+H for the look of sheer bliss on Bernard's face when reading his children's book. Blood for the entire cooking scene, genius! And Grapes of Wrath for Bernard's reaction to the cleaner. It's a toughy!

That is prolly my favourite scene in the whole show. I'd say thats my fave episode.
Hehe and I loved that line where he was complaining that all he ever wanted to do was play the piano but his parents forced him to go outside and play football.

I'd have to go with The Blackout. Manny as a cop is hilarious, with his confusion techniques, and Bernard being embarassed about his story because he fell. Elephants and Hens is a close second just because of the ending - I never thought I'd say this but why don't you get a job?

The one with Manny's parents, or the one with the piano, or maybe even the one with the Children's book.
They're all great.

Totally agree. The Entertainer is simply brilliant.

Mind you there is not a dud amongst them. The entire series is excellent and my most favourite comedy series of all time.

That's so true. there's not a single episode where I've thought "that really wasn't worth watching". It's a pitty we only have 3 Seasons to keep us going. Especially when each season is so short.

The Entertainer was great, for the scene where Manny realises he can play piano.
The Grapes Of Wrath for Kevin Eldons appearance in it - "Dirty!" and Manny's finest moment - "Im eating scrambled eggs...with a comb...from a shoe!".
Mannys First Day (correct?) for Manny and Bernard in the pub discussing the job at the shop. "Do you have anything in an aquarium?"
Its impossibe to choose.
