Douglas MacKrell once answered this question. He said Land Before Swine. It's a good monster of the week storyline where each character plays to their strengths. But I would probably recommend The Legend of the Gobblewonker. It focuses more on other characters, but still shows that Mabel's not just some one-dimensional idiot who's only funny to a two-year-old. (I have actually heard this from a real anti-Faller.) Maybe even a season 2 episode, because they really help to humanize the characters. They point out that at the end of the day, at least in-universe, they are real people with real lives.

In any case, don't push it. Show your friend the codes and cryptograms if you haven't already, and bring up the thought of watching another episode casually. And if she still doesn't like it, so be it. She might change her mind eventually.
