my favorite episode of the series

The baby shower sketch features the funniest, grossout prop they've ever deployed. That visual, plus a generous dose of Meredith's total-commitment physical comedy, add up to a standout episode of a consistently entertaining, and often insightful, series. With its departure looming, I shall miss these ladies* - whether they choose that term, or not. * - Hardcore PC Police poised to bristle please note that this comment is not about sexism or gender bias. It's a fan's callback to the theme of one of their skits. Lighten up.

Trivia
In the skit of the couple having the baby, the characters portrayed by Carolyn Taylor and Aurora Browne are watching what the viewer can only assume is The Great Canadian Baking Show (2017) (Taylor's character mentions the naming of Star Baker). Taylor and Browne have together hosted the show in its third season in real life.

Crazy credits
The closing credits includes the following: "Special Thanks: The incredible community of people who made this show possible. We Love You! We'll Miss You! Goodnight!"
