I love “Afternoon Delight” for many different reasons. Not only is it one of my favorite episodes of one of my favorite series, but it’s my favorite Christmas TV episode of any show (save for maybe Community‘s “Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas”). There are a ton of great reoccurring jokes and gags in this episode, along with a hilarious script that all culminates at the Bluth Company Christmas party. Hilarious and well directed by Jason Bateman, “Afternoon Delight” will have you rolling as you watch what shenanigans the Bluths get into this time.

Official Description:
At the Bluth Company Christmas party, Gob gets upset and fires all the employees, forcing Michael to invite them all to a second party at the banana stand so he can rehire them.
