![]() Episodes like "The Compilation" exist wholly to do the same general idea, but the narrative tying into the jokes itself is crucial to such an episode's execution, and "The List" was such a creatively-freeing idea that it allowed the show to make whatever jokes it wanted - among them being holistic medicine, the illogic of charity marathons, and a journey across the world online - without ever interrupting the flow of the episode. ![]() What makes it such a successful episode is its sheer simplicity, and how that allows for the show to contain, in 11 minutes, a near-all-encompassing array of great gags. That doesn't mean "The List" is a disappointment by any means it's probably one of the most straightforward and enjoyable episodes in the backhalf of the show's fifth season.
