-Englishmen being weird
-Ship hunted by submarine
-Submarine hunted by ship
-Submarine hunted by other submarine
(The first two can be improved by the addition of a submarine.)

In 2015, a man commented "looks great!" on a picture of a cake his niece had baked, and that is the last normal thing anyone has said on the internet.

The Muppet Show had a way of bringing out the genius in their guests, creating truly jaw-dropping, beautiful, perfect performances.
One of my favorites is this one by Linda Ronstadt. She later said that this was the best perfomance of this song she ever did:

This entire duet featuring Muppet Show guest Pearl Bailey & Muppet performer Jerry Nelson as Floyd just exudes buckets of charm. And I’m pretty sure the vocals are live, because you can hear Floyd’s arm rod slapping against the prop guitar, picked up by Jerry’s mic.

Quintessential Muppet Show - “Let’s have Miss Piggy as Marie Antoinette, the production number is ‘Stayin’ Alive’, and it ends on a shot of a guillotine.” Conceptually, the comedy could go anywhere with the show’s vaudeville premise. Good, bad, weird.... Anything goes!

Reading Rainbow will be returning, many years after No Child Left Behind killed it.
New host, different channel, but it presumably has LeVar Burton's blessing. Can't imagine they'd get away with it if it didn't.
