Title: Best Episodes to introduce folks through?
Post by: JacobF on September 30, 2015, 11:22:54 PM

Hey guys,
I'm going on a road trip with my dad across the country in the next week and I was wondering what episodes you recommend to introduce someone new to the show? I was thinking the Four Loko holiday special is a good one, but that and the newbridge gubernatorial debate are the only two that really come to mind. If anyone has any other suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

July 13, 2004: Philly Boy Roy! Skag Winesack! The Party Doctor! Matt Walsh! Petey's Grandmother! The Leader! And Hanging Outside The Holland Tunnel At A Hess Station With Officer Tom And Some Reckless Youth!

Thanks! That's a pretty solid recommendation and I had totally forgotten about that one.

I'd also like to point out this one:

October 28, 2003: The Cougar From Pout Checks In, Some Intense Talk About The Band Yes, And Plenty Of Halloween Chat.

The Scharpling & Wurster bit in it is a hidden gem and there's a great moment where Tom makes fun of a kid that tries to prank him during the Halloween talk.
