Ep 14. Who's Handsome?

In the 14th episode of the first season of Everybody Loves Raymond, titled "Who's Handsome?", Ray becomes obsessed with finding out who his wife Debra thinks is the most handsome man in the world. This stems from a conversation they had earlier when Debra mentioned seeing a ridiculously good-looking man while she was grocery shopping. Ray becomes insecure and starts to worry that he's not the most attractive man in his wife's eyes.

As a result, Ray constantly badgers Debra with questions about the mystery man and tries to get her to reveal who he is. Debra is having none of it and finds the whole situation ridiculous. However, she eventually caves and tells Ray that the handsome man she saw was actually a wax figure in a store window.

This news doesn't really help Ray's ego, and he begins to spiral into a deeper insecurity about his looks. He starts to compare himself to other men and asks his family and colleagues for their opinions on his appearance, causing them to become increasingly uncomfortable.

Meanwhile, Robert, Ray's brother, is dealing with his own insecurities when he develops a rash on his butt. He's too embarrassed to go to a doctor, so Marie, Ray and Robert's mother, offers to take a look. This leads to some hilariously awkward moments as Marie inspects Robert's backside.

The episode ends with Ray realizing that he's being ridiculous and that Debra loves him for who he is, not his looks. He tells her this and they have a sweet moment together.

Overall, "Who's Handsome?" is a funny and relatable episode that touches on themes of insecurity and self-esteem. Its universal appeal lies in the fact that almost everyone has felt insecure about their appearance at some point, and it's refreshing to see these themes explored in a comedic context. The episode also showcases the great chemistry and humor between the show's main cast, making it a standout episode of the first season.
