I don't think there was ever a bad episode of this and if I was to find out now that it was on telly, I'd switch my computer off and be straight in the Living Room watching it even if it was an episode that I had seen 1000 times before.
So many great moments. My all-time favourite could well be when Del and Rodney dressed up as Batman and Robin for a fancy dress party, scared them muggers, turned up at the party and it turned out that it was a wake.
Also the famous line from the first ever episode. "I ordered an empra burgar, he got me a cheeseburger".

The fall through the bar in Yuppy Love will remain a timeless classic.

What about when Rodney and Del were both going after the same girl and Rodney set Del up to go hand glideing. That was well funny.

The funniest line ever, and it goes to Trigger in this conversation...
Trigger: What you up to Dave?
Rodney: I'm listening to Mozart's Concerto No.5 in D-Minor.
Trigger: No words to this song Dave?
Rodney: No Trigger, it's an instrumental.
Del Boy: All right Trigger? What you doing?
Trigger: I'm listening to Mozart's Concerto No.5 in D-Minor.
Del Boy: Okay.
Trigger: It's the karaoke version.
Of course, the visual jokes such as the chandelier are the ones that stay with people...I still remember being helpless with laughter the first time I saw that.

Danger UXD was another superb episode featuring the blow up dolls filled with explosive gas ;D

So many funny moments, so I suppose some favourites the trip to Margate, and Miami, and of course when they eventually become millionairres.
How much money did Del Boy waste though? He probably spent a million pounds trying to become a millionairre!
As for funniest line, ever I think where they meet that German women, and Uncle Albert says that he can speak German as he learn't it during the war and then sits down.
"Vot is your name?"

Can't recall which episode it's from but the conversation with Trigger and Rodney, where the former claims he has called round for Del Boy on the way to the Nags Head even though Rodney points out that he has to pass the pub to get to their house ;D
Also a corker in the one where Damian is born. Mike has started a pot for the name of the baby and sent Trigger to find out from Rodney, his answer is a corker.
"If it's a girl they're calling her Sigourney after some actress...if it's a boy they're calling him Rodney......after Dave" ;D

The one when Del-Boy set up a business bottling tap water and then selling it was funny.

I'd probably say Uncle Albert purley for his trademark phrase "During The War".

I'd probably say Uncle Albert purley for his trademark phrase "During The War". Or that brilliant line when Del threatens him if he says it again. Albert pauses and remarks "During the 1939 to 1945 conflict with Germany" ;D genius |

2-0 to UA, simply because he was in it longer.
But Grandad getting arrested in Spain and being thrown into prison was classic. Delboy and Rodney come to visit:
Delboy: "So you settling in well then!"
