Favorite "fun" episode?

[BlueStuff]

DS9 is a very serious, heavy show at times. Many episodes leave me with something to think about, whether a moral dilemma the characters faced, a questionable decision someone made, the hard-hitting nature of the storyline, etc.

But which episodes do you like to watch simply to have a good time? Switch your brain off for 45 minutes and smile?

Ones that occur to me are In the Cards, Take Me Out to the Holosuite, and (I may take some heat for this) Badda-Bing Badda Bang. I just love how involved everyone is in that episode, despite the fact that I don't particularly care for Vic Fontaine. That scene where the crew, Sisko included, walks to the holodeck all suited up.. warm and fuzzy! This crew is out for some fun.

Favorite Slap-Stick 'Hyuk-Hyuk' Episode: Fascination

Favorite Fun-Time Stoopid Action Episode : Shattered Mirror

Favorite Utterly-Absurd Concept Episode: The Magnificent Ferengi

 

[7thsealord]

LOVED 'The Magnificent Ferengi'.

 

[tomalak301]

In the Cards was my favorite. It was a simple story, and while it's known as the calm before the storm, it was just a great episode in its own right with a brilliant concept in that Ortodoxy group or whatever they were called.

Move Along Home
Little Green Men
Trials and Tribbleations

 

[Gul Re'jal]

The Magnificent Ferengi was magnificent

 

[Admiral Shran]

The Magnificent Ferengi

 

[Seven of Five]

My top five is something like this:

In The Cards
Trials and Tribble-ations
The Magnificant Ferengi
Little Green Men
Take Me Out To The Holosuite

I also have a soft spot for Badda Bing Badda Bang, which was both a great caper and wasn't about holodeck failure.

 

[Skywalker]

"Our Man Bashir" and "Trials and Tribble-ations."

Haven't gotten to "The Magnificent Ferengi" or "Badda-Bing, Badda-Bang" on my rewatch yet, so I've unfortunately never seen those episodes.

 

[Son of Quark]

Take Me out to the Holosuite and the one, can't remember the title of the episode, where Sisko builds that space ship with sails and he and Jake make it to Cardassia. That was just a fun, cool episode.

 

[Skywalker]

That was "Explorers." Yeah, I enjoyed that one, too.

 

[Seven of Five]

Ah forgot about Explorers. It was a very feelgood episode.

And Our Man Bashir too! How did I forget that one?

 

[Son of Quark]

That was "Explorers." Yeah, I enjoyed that one, too.

Thank you. Explorers is one of my favorite episodes. It was really cool.

I don't even have to think about this thread's title. I already have an answer for each season.
Season one: If Wishes Were Horses.
Season two: Rules of Acquisition.
Season three: House of Quark, Fascination and Facets.
Season four: Bar Association.
Season five: Trials and Tribble-ations.
Season six: You Are Cordially Invited, Statistical Probabilities, His Way and The Sound of Her Voice.
Season seven: Take Me Out To The Holosuite, Badda-Bing Badda-Bang.

Our Man Bashir

[PKTrekGirl]

For me:

In the Cards
The Magnificent Ferengi
Little Green Men
The House of Quark - this one being on the list because, as an accountant myself, I always get a huge kick out of the scene where Quark is going over financial statements with the Klingons. You have no idea how many times I've been in that exact situation...only with people instead of Klingons.

 

[Jetfire]

Little Green Men! And This is my favorite ep too.

I agree with much of your list, though there are a few you have listed (Facets, Statistical Probabilities, The Sounds of her Voice) that I wouldn't classify as "fun."

I'm probably going to be shot for this but I would say nearly every Ferengi episode.
