Rules:
I applied a decent amount of artistic license to this one. These screenshots were taken from S4E20 "The Moms". But the dialog actually comes from the behind-the-scenes bonus feature for the episode, in which Anita Gillette recalls a joke that the network had ordered be cut from the scene.

No, not in that order. Hot take

I couldn't think of a single bad episode, so I was curious what other people thought was the worst. Both the pilot and the second Queen of Jordan were rated the worst, at 7.2. Still a pretty good rating!

S6E22 "What Will Happen to the Gang Next Year?"
I also noticed for the first time the label says "White Throwing Wine"
S5E22 "Everything Sunny All the Time Always"
From https://www.grunge.com/1662137/snl-cast-members-couldnt-stand-co-stars/
During his tenure with "Saturday Night Live," Tracy Morgan also took issue with some chronic behavior from fellow cast member JImmy Fallon.
In an interview with Penthouse, Morgan admitted that he really disliked Fallon's habit of cracking up during sketches, getting laughs by breaking character. According to Morgan, he wasn't thrilled with Fallon's "laughing and all that dumb [bleep] he used to do — he wouldn't mess with me because I didn't [bleep]ing play that s***," Morgan said, as reported by Page Six. "That's taking all the attention off of everybody else and putting it on you, like, 'Oh, look at me, I'm the cute one.'" Morgan, in fact, gave Fallon a stern warning — that he apparently heeded. "I told him not to do that s*** in my sketches, so he never did," Morgan added.
Morgan got revenge with the help of fellow "SNL" alum Tina Fey when they appeared together in the NBC sitcom "30 Rock." In an episode, Morgan's character, Tracy Jordan, mimics Fallon's sketch-derailing breakdowns when his character begins doing the same thing, purposely creating live-TV mishaps in order to get cheap laughs in the show-within-the-show's sketches
S5E6 "Gentleman's Intermission"
S6E16 "Nothing Left to Lose"
30 Rock S4E5 "The Problem Solvers"
Modern Family S5E24 "The Wedding, Part 2"
I think this is the only scene in Modern Family in which these characters are both onscreen at the same time. Until this point, I had thought that Claire/Sal were both portrayed by the same actor, and that it was a joke that the rest of the characters did not see the resemblance.
Deleted scene from S6E12 "St. Patrick's Day"
S06E19 "Live from Studio 6H"
This ashtray was not present on the table there at all until about two-thirds of the way through the episode. It just inexplicably appears in this scene which begins with a close-up of the table. This same thing happens in both the east coast and west coast versions. It must be intentional.
My first thought was that they are related to the earlier scenes in which clips from old NBC shows depict the actors/hosts/anchors smoking a lot. Maybe these are the IRL "butts" from the prop cigarettes they had gone through during dress rehearsals and such, but those prop cigarettes they used did not have the orange filters that we see here.
