Yes, make sure you know before you enter his office.

Haha, gosh I love this episode so much!

A fact about Les's commentary I love is that Richard Sanders modelled the phrasing and timing of the script to the famous radio broadcast from the Hindenburg disaster. "Oh, the humanity!" indeed.

I love this tidbit!

Funniest single episode of any sitcom ever
TheBugsMomma@reddit
I watch that episode every year and it’s still just as hilarious. A classic!

I need a tshirt now!

My favorite part is when Les gets back to the office and tries to explain what happened. "They somehow seemed.....organized." All delivered with that thousand yard stare.

New Zealander here. We don’t have Thanksgiving but this is the first thing I think of when someone talks about thanksgiving.

I have the first season on Blu ray and I pull it out every Thanksgiving to watch. My mom bought all of us shirts a few years back that say "WKRP Turkey Drop"

Oh, I watched it and loved it. Probably more adult content than my young mind could comprehend at times. Lol

Was freaking hilarious, but I feel like this is THE new reference on Reddit. I've seen it at least 10 times in the last week. Interesting how these trends develop across subs.
rkdbsbl@reddit (OP)
Really? I guess everything is cyclical. Lol.
dlsc217@reddit
Or I just spend too much damn time on reddit
coffeechris66@reddit
Oh, the humanity.
dobeedeux@reddit
It's a classic moment in TV history.
Uno_LeCavalier@reddit
Based on a true story.
mel9036@reddit
I read the title and the episode immediately came back. That was hilarious. 😆
PrisonNurseNC@reddit
Hilarious! Not a single turkey was injured or harmed.
Competitive-Push-715@reddit
Have to rewatch every year. Classic
Shot-Split-6396@reddit
One of the funniest things I have ever seen on T.V. There was an episode of Newhart called "The boy who cried Goat" that was also hilarious to me.
