* The episode where they open a diner. Ricky and Lucy end up talking to and greeting the customers, while Fred and Ethel end up slaving away in the kitchen. After a feud, the couples agree to split the diner IN HALF. Cue the sequence where a customer comes in and asks for a hamburger.

Lucy then calls the customer over to her side, whispers something in his ear, gives him a dollar from the cash register, and the guy goes over to Fred and Ethel and asks "I'd like 100 hamburgers." And Fred and Ethel's response: "I'm sorry we're all out of hamburgers."

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2m1Nubw8XJw Vitameatavegamin]] -- The single funniest sketch in the history of television. So funny even the other actors can't contain their laughter.
* Possibly one of the single funniest moments on live-action television was from the very end of the show's run. They moved to a farm during this series. This particular episode they decided to try to raise chickens. The chickens weren't maturing fast enough to suit Ricky, so Lucy and Ethel began buying eggs to plant into the chicken's nests. When Ricky came home early they hid the eggs by stuffing them into Lucy's blouse. Ricky then insisted Lucy practice a tango routine with him that the two of them needed to do later that week. The end result was an egg-soaked Lucy and a live audience that laughed for over a minute and a half. It was considered a record holder for years, and may still be one.
** Don't forget the part where Fred slams the door on Ethel's backside, crushing all the eggs in her back pockets. That sent this troper into such paroxysms of laughter that she had trouble breathing for a good five minutes.

* From "Lucy Does a TV Commercial", Lucy pretends to be on TV... inside their TV. Here are some of the highlights.
** Ricky's first look at Lucy on TV: "You know, I can't get over how clear the picture is."
** When Lucy accidentally dropped something and she had to pick it up: "Well, what you know? Third-dimensional television."
** Fred's clapping is pretty good.
** And of course, "For our first offering this evening, we- STOP THAT NOW! Go back and sit down!"
