Is Pine Barrens considered the best episode purely because of the comedy?

With all due respect, I know every sopranos fan is all about comedy. Nobody talks about shit in here, just engaging quoting Walnuts and Uncle June every five fucking minutes. Even though we all know, remember when is the lowest form of conversation.

But is there any actual reason Pine Barrens is as popular as it is besides the comedy? Hats off to Steve Buscemi and whoever did the cinematography for the episode, more creative than Spielberg.

However, when comparing it to an episode like the Blue Comet and the one where Ade goes for a drive with sil, I ain’t seeing nothing special with this episode.
