Every year at this time I put on the WKRP Thanksgiving episode. Hearing Les Nessman say, "the turkeys are hitting the ground like bags of wet cement" is still classic.
What is your favorite 5 minutes in a situation comedy?

Happen to see Vitameatavegamin yesterday
clicking through the dial. But I think the funniest is Fred returns drunk from St. Louis
.”quick soon, call the zoo
tell’em we caught the gorilla faced uglymopotomus
” etc...

When Odumbo stated we had 57 states...then changed it to 59 states, and actually was serious.

I've watched and re-watched the "turkey drop" episode on YouTube of "WKRP in Cincinnati" and I just don't get what is so funny about it. For me, it just falls sort of flat. Like a bag of wet cement.
I'm not a fan of situation comedy (the canned laugh tracks and loud voices are like nails across a chalkboard for me) but if I have to pick my favorite 5 minutes, it was probably "Gilligan's Island" when NASA crashes a "Mars Probe" on the island and when the Professor finally gets the camera working, Gilligan somehow has them all covered in glue and feathers so NASA thinks Mars is a planet full of giant chickens.

I can’t name my favorite, but just as I am often, almost shocked at how high quality and effective some pop songs can be when I hear something from the 50s or 60s, 70s, 80s,etc, and even on rare occasions today, sit-coms can be like that.
Some of them from all of the various decades, have been an incredible artistic/comedy success that we sometimes trivialize, I mean really.... pop songs, sit-coms? but some of them are amazingly effective, to be delivered in such tiny, short packages, is amazing to me.

All in the Family, Archie gets trapped in the basement, gets drunk, thinks God has come to save him... It’s the black garbageman.
Three’s Company, Roper wakes up, discovers he’s in bed with Jack.
Both classic takes and wonderful natural audience laughs.

I’m too tired to be specific, but I wanted to throw in a mention of Monty Python. Lots of laughs there.
