I love gimmick episodes because they break the formula and do something completely different than what you’re used to. What’s your favorite kind of gimmick episode?
- Bottle Episode
- Musical Episode
- Dream / Hallucination Episode
- Found-Footage / Mockumentary
- Alternate Reality / “What If” Episode
- Animated Episode
- Black & White / Noir Episode
- Breaking the Fourth Wall / Meta Episode
- Time Loop / Groundhog Day Episode
- Silent Film Homage Episode
These are just a few fun gimmick styles.
