Top 10 Funniest Thanksgiving Television Sitcom Episodes

Not only is Thanksgiving the perfect day to be surrounded by friends and family, it is also a delightful theme for some of our favorite sitcoms to base an episode around.

The following is a list of the top ten funniest Thanksgiving episodes that have been aired on television.

10. King of Queens - Eye Patch Guy - This episode revolves around a strange guy with an eye patch ("patchy") that Carrie refuses to let into her house on Thanksgiving because she is afraid he will end up robbing or hurting them. Constant guilt trips from the others around the table make this episode very funny, especially when Carrie turns out to be right.

9. Roseanne - "Thanksgiving '91" - Shelly Winters is the character that makes this episode a classic. Who wouldn't want a Nana like her? She comes out with one funny line after another. Roseanne, Jackie and Darlene have a few good one-liners of their own. After all, what is Thanksgiving without a little drama? You can find the complete episode on Youtube.com when you search under "Roseanne Thankgiving '91"

8. Everybody Loves Raymond- "Older Women" Debra, who at first is thrilled to find that her separated parents are coming to Thanksgiving dinner, then finds out her that her father is bringing a date. There is a classic scene where Debra, in the process of fighting with Ray, drops the Thanksgiving Turkey on the floor. After 3 attempts to pick up the slippery bird she finally tosses it in anger into the oven and stomps away. Ray's reaction is priceless. You can find this clip on Youtube.com when you search "Debra Drops The Turkey"

7. Mad About You- "Giblets for Murray" This episode is funny from beginning to end as Jamie and Paul go through 5 different turkeys to serve their 10 guests a "buffet style" dinner for Thanksgiving.

6. Friends - "The One With Chandler In A Box" Friends has made this list a few times because their Thanksgiving episodes are absolutely classic. In this episode Chandler agrees to spend Thanksgiving in a shipping crate as penance for kissing Joey's girlfriend Kathy.

5. Cheers - "Thanksgiving Orphans" The gang gathers at Carla's house for Thanksgiving dinner. Norm brings Birdzilla and Diane tells Sam to "kiss his butt goodbye" before an awesome food fight ensues! Great quotes from the group such as: Sam: Christmas comes earlier every year, doesn't it? Woody: I think if you check Sam, it always comes on the 25th of December."

4. Friends - "The One With All The Thanksgivings"
