The Funniest Sitcom Episodes of All Time

Every joke analyzed. Every episode ranked. No opinions — just data.

We fed every line of dialogue through our AI comedy analyst, which scored each joke on craft (originality, structure, character integration) and impact (audience reaction). The Humor Index combines joke density, craft quality, peak moments, and memorability into a single score. Here are the episodes that came out on top.
