I'll be posting my Top 10 episodes eventually
Wow... it only took me a year and a half to do this pendant... In no particular order, let's get this over with. As always I'll leave you the episodes in the link below if you want to check them out.

Bank
The funniest part about this episode is how convoluted things look for Dan just to get his money back. It has many gags and the ending with the bank burning is surprisingly fresh, since Dan himself has nothing to do with its destruction... directly.
Superhero
There are shows who do superhero spoofs better than others, Dan vs. is one of those. One thing I like about this episode is that, just through Dan’s planning, he’s able to strip this Superman parody’s powers at the end. Also, is it just me or does this reminds me of Batman v Superman... if done right.
Baseball
This has a little of everything: funny setups, Elise getting indirectly involved in Dan’s mission, an unexpected ending with the Commissioner and Dan’s immunity to tear gas. It’s a great introductory episode for anyone who wants to watch the series.
Anger Management
We all knew it had to happen at some point. Dan manipulating the other patients for an explosive rampage, the counselor’s reaction to these events and the ultimate role reversal episode near the ending. Although Dan’s comes back to the status quo at the end is expected, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Technology
I’m sick and tired of how many shows nowadays, whenever they do a technology related episode, they end up saying “technology is bad and it’s hurting us all and we should see more physical people” (not to say is not true, but that’s not the point). This episode essentially says “if you avoid technology entirely, you’re just as bad”. It also serves as a good parody to Apple.
Traffic
This is something we all can relate to. Dan tries every way to eliminate traffic, with each method getting more ridiculous as the episode goes on. The ending is completely different from the expected in the show.
Burgerphile
This episode does well by restraining Dan to a single location, it escalates bigger and bigger as the episode continues. It’s also great to see Dan actually showing kindness for someone other than himself.
Summer Camp
Who would’ve though this show to have an origin story? It progresses in the form of flashbacks with the occasional jump to the present. It chronicles how Dan and Chris met and it ends on a pretty sweet note, for being the final episode of the series, it does its job really well.
Elise’s parents
A lot of the humor of this show comes from the interactions between the characters and this episode has the most funny and memorable reactions from the entire show. It deviates a ton of the usual formula, giving it a fresh air, ironic because the best episodes usually stick to the formula.
Canada
Yeah, you saw this coming. It’s hilarious, the plot is interesting, the pacing is phenomenal, it mocks Canada but not in a disrespectful way and it does bring the good points about the country. I really don’t have too much to say.
Now tell me, have you seen the show? Which are your favorite episodes?
