We have a tie! Between the Best Show Ever and the Best Show Ever!

Gossip Girl - "Chuck in Real Life" - the one where Blaire won't say it and so Chuck won't give it up; the "long" joke I'm still not sure I get; the second, most excruciating "3 words, 8 letters" ever spoken; and the note-perfect homage to "Cruel Intentions" (but not Dangerous Liaisons). 

Gossip GIrl -  "Summer Kind of Wonderful" - the one in the Hamptons, with all the green; "Papparazi"; the first "3 words, 8 letters"; and the introduction of Vitamin water as the go-to beverage for all Gossip Girlers worlwide.
Season 2, Episodes 7 and 1, respectively

1.
The Office - "Customer Survey" - the one with the tiniest bluetooth; Kelly sabotages Jim and Dwight's Reviews; and Dwight freaks the eff out on a fake customer call.
