Crowning Moment of Funny: Too many to list, especially since most of the famous ones have been so ingrained into popular culture that just about everyone can recognize them. The most iconic ones are the chocolate factory, Vitameatvegamin, the wine vat, and the rubber nose.
Funny Aneurysm Moment: Any episode that involves a joke about philandering, or Lucy and Ricky's marriage being in trouble, or both.

Memetic Mutation: From The Young Fans episode: "Keep jiggling, Peggy."
Seinfeld Is Unfunny: This show invented the modern sitcom, and every single sitcom that has ever existed since has borrowed something from the lexicon it created, to the point where things that were groundbreaking in the '50s are not even noticable, let alone edgy... unless you are wearing Nostalgia Glasses
