There were a few, most of which were directed by the guy who did this episode. Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space' is one of my absolute favorite episodes, and it featured a lot of oddball humor including casting Alex Trebek and Jesse Ventura as Men in Black.

Edit: I misspoke. Darin Morgan directed this episode, but he was just a writer on some of the more humorous episodes of the original run.
