Darkwing Duck: Twin Beaks (1991)
The Cow Jumped Over the Moon
The episode title is very eloquent and it is a paraphrase of the Lynch and Frost's creation. Naturally, it's filled with references to Twin Peaks: two peaks resembling a beak, music à la Angelo Badalamenti's iconic score, the presence of a waterfall, a cozy cafe where serving coffee, and many others, for example, Douglas firs. Some plot motifs from Twin Peaks are also carefully woven into the plot, especially clearly manifested in the Darkwing Duck's dream. Moreover, the creators were ahead of Lynch with cows. They're not just special animals here, but in one scene, Launchpad McQuack actually jumps over the moon on a cow. If you dig deeper, Darkwing Duck's entire dream is full of meaning and ends on an optimistic note. There is even an analogue of Laura Palmer, wrapped in plastic - a similar fate befell Bushroot, whose dead body repeats her misadventures. In addition, Launchpad who has suddenly discovered the gift of a psychic (no), has a casual conversation with the log. In a nutshell about this episode - an entertaining parody.
In addition to Twin Peaks, the plot includes references to such a famous creation as 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers'.
Midsomer Murders: Painted in Blood (2003)
Snatch
As a bank employee, it was extremely interesting for me to observe work in a small provincial office. In addition, the episode is funny because Tom Barnaby was removed from the case. What is important, here's just one murder, but it's very! Also a great advantage is the presence in the cast of Leslie Phillips as the lustful old man Godfrey Teal. All his scenes with Barbara Durkin as Linda Tyrell are amazing anti-chemistry. True, later he will not mind the threesome.
In general, the big score is at stake. And there are lot of people who want to get a tasty morsel. But Barnaby is not fooled. He has built a clever enough scheme to expose the killer. Very sorry about the head of the bank branch who 4 years kepts a huge amount of money. But his work was not in vain, 'cause the happiness is not in money. And in their quantity and ... in antique furniture!
