There are a number of classic plots that pop up regularly in sitcoms — the broken-telephone episode, the grandpa-comes-to-visit episode, the high school reunion episode, etc — but one of the most entertaining ones is often X main character-takes-on-a-pro-fighter, hilarity ensues.
Sarah tracked down a number of these classic episodes from shows as wide-ranging as The Simpsons, iCarly, George Lopez and Ally McBeal.

Dave Grohl shows off his Children shirt on the 2015 Grammy red carpet.
A funny thing happened at the 57th Grammy Awards on Sunday night: Dave Grohl wore a t-shirt to the fancy music industry dress-up event.
And not just any t-shirt, a shirt repping “Death Tribe,” an EP by the little known metal band, Children.
I tracked down Jonny Ollsin from Children to talk to him about the Foo Fighters/Nirvana player’s clothing choice.
Among the things I learned: his favourite Grohl-related band is Nirvana, and the 12″ of “Death Tribe” was originally supposed to feature an elaborate wax etching of the Mayan calendar created by his wife.
