Picking a favorite TV show is difficult enough, but choosing a single episode from everything you have ever watched might be even harder. The best episodes are not always the biggest finales or the ones with the most shocking twists, either. Sometimes a hilarious standalone story becomes endlessly rewatchable, while another episode suddenly reveals an emotional depth nobody expected from the series. Reddit users had plenty of strong opinions when asked which episodes have stayed with them the longest, with answers spanning sitcoms, animation, science fiction, dramas, and more. Some made viewers laugh, while others apparently still hurt years later. Here are 15 people sharing their favorite TV episode of all time.

“I Remember You”, Adventure Time
One viewer remembered this as the episode that proved just how emotionally deep Adventure Time could become. Simon and Marceline’s history transformed the Ice King from a simple villain into something much more tragic.

“Bad Blood”, The X-Files
A fan picked this comedic episode built around Mulder and Scully recounting wildly different versions of the same investigation. Their conflicting perspectives turn an already strange vampire case into one of the show’s funniest hours.

“My Lunch”, Scrubs
One viewer praised how much emotion Scrubs packed into a show normally known for comedy. Dr. Cox’s reaction after three transplant patients become infected with rabies makes the episode especially devastating.

“Half Measures”, Breaking Bad
A fan singled out the episode that ends with Jesse preparing to confront two drug dealers. Walt’s sudden intervention creates one of the show’s most startling demonstrations of how far he is willing to go.

“Pine Barrens” The Sopranos
One viewer could happily watch Christopher and Paulie argue in the freezing woods for hours. Their disastrous attempt to handle a seemingly simple job became one of the show’s most beloved episodes.

“Free Churro”, BoJack Horseman
Almost the entire episode consists of BoJack delivering a eulogy at his mother’s funeral. One fan thought the unusually stripped-down episode was strong enough to deserve an Emmy.

“You Only Move Twice”, The Simpsons
A viewer chose the episode that introduced Hank Scorpio, Homer’s absurdly friendly new boss who also happens to be a supervillain. Scorpio only needed one appearance to become a fan favorite.

“The Work Outing”, The IT Crowd
One fan immediately pointed to the Season 2 premiere and its increasingly disastrous trip to a musical. The episode keeps piling misunderstanding on top of misunderstanding until practically nobody can maintain their story.

“Wilson’s Heart”, House
A viewer remembered being devastated by the Season 4 finale and Amber’s death. The episode turns the aftermath of a medical mystery into one of the drama’s most emotional stories.

“Charity”, Malcolm in the Middle
One fan loved the episode where Malcolm, Reese, and Dewey turn donated church goods into a money-making scheme. Meanwhile, Francis arrives in Alaska and quickly discovers his new life is going to be miserable.

“Through the Looking Glass”, Lost
One viewer needed only three words to identify the moment: “Not Penny’s boat”. Charlie’s final message became one of the most memorable and heartbreaking images in the entire series.

“The Inner Light”, Star Trek: The Next Generation
A fan chose the episode in which Picard experiences an entire alternate lifetime in what seems like decades to him. The flute he keeps afterward makes the experience impossible to simply leave behind.

“Jaynestown”, Firefly
One viewer picked the episode where the crew discovers that Jayne has somehow become a folk hero on a distant moon. His confusion over his own legend gives the episode some of the show’s funniest moments.

“Mystery Spot”, Supernatural
A fan can no longer hear “Heat of the Moment” without thinking about this episode. Sam repeatedly wakes up to the same Tuesday and watches Dean die in increasingly ridiculous ways.

“Blink”, Doctor Who
One viewer chose the episode that introduced the Weeping Angels and largely kept the Doctor out of the action. Its simple rule, “don’t blink”, helped create one of the show’s most memorable monsters.
