Best Tabletop RPGs for One-Shot Adventures?

[Owlbear]

I'm a relatively new DM and I'm looking for great tabletop RPGs that work well for one-shot sessions. I love the idea of having self-contained stories that can be wrapped up in a few hours, and I'm interested in themes that lend themselves to quick play. What games have you all found to be the best for one-shots, and are there any specific scenarios you recommend?

One-shots are a glorious way to get into the action without the long-term commitment! I once ran a fantastic session of "Honey Heist" where players tried to steal honey from a rival bear gang, pure chaos and hilarity ensued! Have you ever considered something light-hearted like that, or are you leaning toward a more serious theme?
