10 Funniest Full House Episodes, Ranked

Let’s be real—Full House had more “aww” moments than most shows combined. But tucked between all those heart-to-hearts were some truly laugh-out-loud episodes. Whether it was Joey’s goofy voices, Kimmy’s weird behavior, or Uncle Jesse getting totally out of his element, this show had its comedy gold.

So grab your scrunchie, warm up that microwave popcorn, and let’s rank the 10 funniest Full House episodes that still make us laugh today.

#10: “Our Very First Telethon” (Season 3, Episode 24)

What happens when the Tanner family hosts a charity telethon? Total chaos—and total hilarity. You’ve got Stephanie singing, Joey doing about 10 impressions per minute, and Danny trying to keep it all together.

Funniest Moment: Jesse performing live while trying to calm a hyper Michelle. Let’s just say, rock ‘n’ roll and toddlers don’t mix well.

#9: “The Long Goodbye” (Season 7, Episode 23)

This episode should have been emotional (they’re saying goodbye to Comet’s mom), but somehow it turns into a comedy of errors. Michelle misunderstands everything, Jesse is overly dramatic, and Joey, of course, makes it weirder.

Funniest Moment: Joey’s impromptu eulogy—turning tragedy into a laugh-fest.

#8: “A Very Tanner Christmas” (Season 6, Episode 12)

Ah yes, the episode where everything goes wrong just in time for the holidays. From decorating disasters to gift mishaps, it’s peak Tanner family dysfunction—with a twinkly Christmas bow on top.

Funniest Moment: Jesse trying to “rescue” the Christmas tree. It’s like a holiday version of a slapstick sketch.

#7: “The House Meets the Mouse, Part 1 & 2” (Season 6, Episodes 23 & 24)

The Tanners at Disney World. Need we say more? Michelle turns into a diva after winning a “Princess for a Day” contest, and everyone gets caught up in the magic—and the mayhem.

Funniest Moment: Jesse and Becky’s super awkward (and totally hilarious) wedding vow renewal in front of a castle crowd.

#6: “Tanner’s Island” (Season 3, Episode 1)

A trip to Hawaii? Sounds perfect. Unless you’re the Tanners. Between Michelle getting lost and Joey fighting with a pig, this tropical getaway is more of a comedic disaster.

Funniest Moment: The family’s attempts to build a “traditional Hawaiian hut” that falls apart in seconds.

#5: “The Hole-in-the-Wall Gang” (Season 4, Episode 4)

Joey and Jesse punch a literal hole in Danny’s wall and try to fix it without telling him. Spoiler alert: it does not go well. Cue lots of physical comedy, panic, and drywall jokes.

Funniest Moment: The entire DIY debacle spiraling into an actual home-renovation horror show.

#4: “Subterranean Graduation Blues” (Season 7, Episode 24)

Jesse’s stuck in a subway on the day of his graduation? Comedy gold. His growing frustration, paired with the weird strangers in the subway car, makes this episode one of John Stamos’ best comedic performances.

Funniest Moment: Jesse begging a group of tourists for their tassels. Classic.

#3: “Stephanie Gets Framed” (Season 4, Episode 16)

Stephanie needs glasses and is feeling insecure. But leave it to Uncle Jesse and Joey to turn her glasses debut into a whole Broadway performance.

Funniest Moment: Joey and Jesse’s “cool glasses” song-and-dance number. It’s cheesy, over-the-top, and 100% hilarious.

#2: “Dr. Dare Rides Again” (Season 2, Episode 8)

Jesse reconnects with an old buddy, “Dr. Dare,” and relives his rebellious days. Of course, it all goes sideways when he attempts to jump between rooftops—while Danny freaks out.

Funniest Moment: Danny lecturing Jesse mid-stunt while Joey records everything like it’s a nature documentary.

#1: “The Volunteer” (Season 5, Episode 15)

Hands down, the funniest Full House episode. Joey volunteers at Michelle’s preschool, and it becomes total mayhem. Watching him try to wrangle a group of sugar-crazed toddlers is both relatable and ridiculously funny.

Funniest Moment: Joey’s meltdown during snack time. If you’ve ever babysat even one child, this scene will hit home.

Honorable Mentions

• “Honey, I Broke the House” – Stephanie crashes Joey’s car into the kitchen.

• “Baby Love” – Michelle gets jealous of a new baby.

• “The Prying Game” – Danny and Joey spy on D.J. and get caught in the most awkward way possible.

Conclusion

While Full House is known for its heartfelt lessons and warm family vibes, let’s not overlook how hilarious it could be. These episodes remind us that comedy doesn’t need to be edgy to be effective—it just needs heart, chaos, and maybe a preschooler with too much sugar.

So if you’re ever in need of a laugh that feels like a hug, you know what to watch.
