Friends: The one where nobody is ready… It’s the last good Friends episode too.
You missed the Goodies.. ‘The end’
two brothers! *laughs* it’s just called two brothers
You have forgotten to include the genius Friends Season 3 episode 1 episode "The One Where No Ones Ready" – all the action takes place in the main room of Monica’s apartment.
The One Where No One’s Ready from Friends??
Not all bottle episodes take place in a single location. Not all single location stories are bottle episodes. Kinda feel like the intro and listicle were cut’n’shut from two unfinished scripts. There’s a "The Sopranos" bottle episode in which the FBI install bugs in the Soprano house but that episode has several locations. Many episodes of "One foot in the grave" took place in single locations yet none of those episodes were bottle episodes.
Buffy’s “Older and Far Away” is one of my all-time favourite bottle episodes, especially for the moments between Tara and Spike
EVERY EPISODE OF *CRIMINALS UK!!!*
Wait wait wait…how can cartoons be in this. How are they saving loads of money on sets? At best they are saving a minuscule of the budget. Every scene still needs to be animated no matter what room it is in. This is like 3 bad videos in a row guys step it up.
One Foot in the Grave – The Beast in the Cage. The whole episode, they’re stuck in traffic going nowhere fast. The Trial is another good episode where Richard Wilson performs the entire episode on his own
Absolutely wild that this got posted the day after the all-time great series finale of Room 104.
Is it a British thing to call it a "Bottle" episode? The name of "The Box" is a play on the fact they’re also commonly called Box episodes. Additionally Family Guy’s episode "Brian and Stewie" is a much better example than Rick and Morty’s "Rixty Minutes" but everyone can’t seem to get off Dan Harmon
Could I BE wearing anymore clothes??
I don’t quite understand how animated episodes fit into this as they are not constrained in the same ways as the live action episodes to budget etc. I honestly felt it was a cop out by including them.
Would The Twilight Zone episode "The Invaders" count?
One foot in the grave?
There was an episode of Frasier with just Niles (and Eddie) alone in Frasier’s apartment with no spoken dialogue.
Californication season three episode eight the apartment is better than all of these
So not a single episode of Inside No. 9, huh? The Twelve Days Of Christine is absolutely brilliant and will have you an emotional wreck upon its ending. Or The Riddle Of The Sphinx? Or…I could name several other episodes but not a mention is disgraceful
“Inside No. 9” “Sardines”
elevator episode in archer should be here..
how is the friends episode everyone expected to be here not no.1
Line of Duty is so fucking good
South Park
S02E07: City on the Edge of Forever
S18E07: Grounded Vindaloop
Doctor Who’s spin off Class also had a great bottle episode called Detained
Where’s mr robot
Family Guy "Brian and Stewie" episode needs to be on here.
No Mr Robot S4 E7 ?
I think Midnight is one of the most underrated episodes of Doctor Who ever, and it’s a damn shame because it is excellent. I would argue that that episode is 100x more frightening than the Weeping Angels. It’s absolutely chilling.
Not including Mr.Robot is a complete embarrassment to this entire channel
Friends – "The One Where No One’s Ready"
Futurama was the original among us
"Better Call Soll"
Any episode of inside number 9.
Can I give a shout out for Vision Quest where the entire cast of Archer is stuck in an elevator. That was one of the funniest episodes in the whole series.
Where the hell is Red Dwarf’s Marooned episode!?
X-Files, "Ice"
I enjoy a bottle episode that’s done well. A few of the entries here are among my favorite episodes from their respective series ("Cooperative Calligraphy", "The Box" and "Free Churro").
If you ever do a Commenter’s Edition of this video, I nominate "Dinner Party" from _Frasier._
How about only fools and horses episode the Russians are coming, or porridge episode a night in, both are great episodes sent almost entirely in one room
THERE. ARE. FOUR. LIGHTS.
"A, My name is Alex" part 2 – Family Ties. Also, does "Out of Gas" from Firelfy count? it has flashbacks outside of the ship.
Bojack Horseman – Free Churro is a masterpiece
I came here looking for fly
No episodes of Inside Number 9 then.
I think an episode called The Conversation of Mad About You deserves to be on this list. Not only it was a bottle episode but the whole 20ish minutes was taken in 1 shot.
I think Mr Robot s04e07 can be considereda bottle episode and is one of the greatest I’ve ever seen
I almost fell asleep during your Breaking Bad pick. This show is such an overrated piece of trash. Crap list, not going to change my mind about bottle episodes.
‘Sardines’ – the first episode of Inside No. 9 – was mostly set in a _wardrobe_ in just one room. It’s still one of the best episodes of that show.
I came here to see if that Bojack episode was on the list. I wasn’t disappointed!
My all time favourite bottle episode would have to be Red Dwarf: Marooned.
Just Rimmer and lister stuck together after a crash with only a pot noodle and Dog food left to eat!
i’m not even gonna watch the video , i’m just gonna say Fly.
