Favorite Simpsons episode

[Mike Daniels]

For me, the one where Burns puts Smithers on "leave" to de-stress and Smithers has Homer take over his position as personal assistant.

Unfortunately, the syndicated version cuts out Homer's classic reaction to learning that Burns had never forgiven his mother for having an affair with President Taft.

[pagerbear]

1. What was Homer's reaction, then?

[Mike Daniels]

14. Homer reaction

Smithers: Burns has never forgiven his mother for that affair with President Taft.

Homer: (eyes half closed and grining) chuckles -"Heh, heh, heh. Taft. You old dog!"



They go to the next scene right after Smithers is finished talking. I don't know. It probably views better than it reads but the voicing by Dan is just great.

[peekaloo]

2. Sideshow Bob Roberts!

classic

[BigMcLargehuge]

19. and now we go live for Sideshow Bob's victory speech...

"huh huh huh huh HA HA HA HA HA MUAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"

[BlackVelvetElvis]

3. Homer as the union boss

I love the bit when he visits Burns Manor to talk. That's the part when Homer has to pee really bad and there's whole slew of potty jokes. Also, this is the episode when Lisa needs braces (the Big Book of British Smiles makes it's only appearance!).

[bloodyjack]

28. LOL

"Lisa needs braces . . . DENTAL PLAN . . . Lisa needs braces . . . DENTAL PLAN . . . Lisa needs braces . . . DENTAL PLAN . . . Lisa needs braces . . . DENTAL PLAN . . . Lisa needs braces . . .

4. The Halloween episode

...that includes Poe's The Raven

[Canuckistanian]

5. The Psychotropic Chili Contest

Where Homer goes into that alternate universe.

[Beware the Beast Man]

10. Johnny Cash as Homer's totem animal

is classic!

[mad_russian]

41. ditto...that is my favorite, along with the one where they go

to Duffworld, and Bart dares lisa to drink the water in one of the rides and she trips balls...

[felonious thunk]

6. The one where Marge gets Ichy and Scratchy cancelled

And the kids go outside and play like it's 1900, and it includes the Amendment to Be take off.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

7. That one scene

is sublime. It's all choreographed to Beethoven's 6th.

[pagerbear]

8. Love that!

[cheezus]

20. see there's lots of flag burners who have got too much freedom

and I want to make it legal for policemen to beat em

there's limits to our liberty, at least I hope and pray that there are
cuz these liberal freaks have gone to far!

[DS1]

9. Treehouse of Horror, The French Nuke Springfield

"Oh, I've wasted my life"

[Kellanved]

"Homer the Great".
http://www.thesimpsons.com/episode_guide/0612.htm

[catzies]

26. I wish I could find my favorites in the episode guides

But I don't know which season they were in or which episodes they were.

I have two favorites too:

The B-Sharps, whre they parodied the entire Beatles oeuvre. George Harrison made a brief appearance at the end. There was a rooftop concert with the B-Sharps, and George leans out of a limo window and says, "It's been done."

The sushi episode where Homers eats fugu and thinks he has 24 hours to live. "Poison...poison...tasty fish!!"

[Kellanved]

12. "1900" House

The Simpsons are forced to find a place to live after their house was exterminated for bugs. They end up appearing on a reality show where they have to live in a house from the yesr 1900. Guest star David Lander (as Squiggy from "Laverne and Shirley") shows up (to boost the show's sagging ratings). Hilarity DOES ensue in my favorite episode.

[Parrcrow]

13. Krusty gets busted

very early episode. Krusty, Sideshow Bob and Apu all have great bits in it. Bart's a bit of a wuss in it though.

[Commendatori]

15. Law & Order: Elevator Inspection Unit

This classic also features Maggie as a mean drunk, LOL

[Sequoia]

16. The Left-Handed Store and

when Bush Sr. moved in next door, and the chili cookoff with Johnny Cash as the coyote.

[Dookus]

17. The maison derriere

I love all the musical episodes, but that one was awesome.

"I seem to have misplaced my pants"

[joeybee12]

22. Great music--even Marge's song!

I can't recall what she sang right now, but it was so awful it was wonderful.

[sir_captain]

18. Cape Feare

by a mile.

Every joke in that episode is priceless. "I'm cold, and there are wolves after me!"

[Insider]

21. Lisa's Wedding & Magical History Tour

1. the fortune teller...

2. lewis & clark & sacagawea, especially milhouse. priceless.

[Reverend_Smitty]

23. The one where Homer goes on workers comp

for being over weight. The muumuu is just priceless.

[BigMcLargehuge]

24. the one with the divorced neighbor who moves in with her daughter

Moe: "Barney, wach the bar!"
Barney" "Okay"
Moe: "and don't steal any beer!"
Barney: "What do think I am some kind of pathetic drunk?.... HEY, SOMEONE SPILLED BEER IN THIS ASHTRAY" (Slurps ashy beer).

Bart dressed as Hugh Heffner with the bubbble pipe was a classic image too.

The others that I alway watch in rerun:

The one where homer works for Hank Scorpio at Globex corporation.
The one where bart writes love letters to Mrs. Krabapple (Strap on your skates Gordy, you're going in)...
The one where Marge has the nervous breakdown and goes to Rancho Relaxo (you can't spell RELAXO without RELAX)
The one where Homer starts the vigilante posse
The one where Homer allegedly sexually harrasses the babysittter (Mothers and Daughters reuinited by their hatred of Homer Simpson, today on Ben... the only talk show hosted by a giant bear).
The one where Homer borrows the mortgage payment from Patty and Selma and becomes their slave.
The one where Homer buys the snowplow (Mr. Plow, that's my name, my name again is Mr. Plow)
The one where Bart becomes the hall monitor and brings fascism to the school.
The one where Homer eats the rotten sandwich and Selma takes the kids to Duff Gardens (Homerclese cares not for beans!)

[BlackVelvetElvis]

34. I was gonna ask about the rotten sandwich!

I couldn't remember that episode. He wouldn't give the thing up even though it was rancid! Thanks.

[Donkeyboy75]

25. Bobo!

[BlackVelvetElvis]

27. 64 slices of American cheese....

mmmm.

[Donkeyboy75]

35. I think I'm blind!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

45. Homer Simpson, report to Burn's office immediately for more punishment!

"Whaddya think makes it go 'round?"
"Who cares!"

"Can I whip you now?" "No!"

[Arger68]

30. Like 'em all but two of my favorites are

the one where Homer gains weight just to go on work comp and the one when he goes to clown college. There's lots more, just thought of those two quick.

[bloodyjack]

31. CLOWN COLLEGE

In the middle of driving down the highway, Homer skids to a halt in front of a billboard.


Homer: (gasps) It must be the first of the month: new billboard day! (a car-carrying truck stops behind him) (a bunch of cars drive onto it accidentally)

Driver: Heh heh heh...finders keepers. (drives off)

Homer: (reading) "This year, give her English muffins." Whatever you
say, Mr. Billboard! (skids off) (stops suddenly at another billboard for barbeque sauce) (cars collide behind him and explode)

Homer: (reading) "Best in the West." Heh heh heh, that rhymes! (looking at the next one) "Clown college"? You can't eat that.
. . .
Krusty: All right, now there can only be one Krusty in each territory, so I hope this works out. Tell me where you're from.

Man 1: Georgia.

Texan 1: Texas.

Texan 2: Uh, Brooklyn.

Man 2: Russia.

Man 3: New Hampshire.

Homer: Homer.

[dolo amber]

32. "Hey kids, we're eatin' tonite!"

"C'mon Tiffany, Heather, Cody, Dylan, Dermott, Jordan, Taylor, Brittany, Wesley, Rumer, Scout, Cassidy, Zoe, Chloe, Max, Hunter, Kendal, Katlin, Noah, Sasha, Morgan, Kira, Ian, Lauren, Q-bert, Phil."

Maybe not my all time fav episode, but definitely a soda-spitter. :D

[Whitacre D_WI]

33. Well, there's "Itchy and Scratchy: the Movie" (9F03),

Brother from the Same Planet (9F12), Duffless (9F14), Last Exit to Springfield (9F15), Whacking Day (9F18), Krusty Gets Kancelled (9F19),The Last Temptation of Homer (1F07), Deep Space Homer (1F13), Homer Badman (2F06), and Homie the Clown (2F12).

All ten of these are from seasons 4-6, the greatest three consecutive seasons of television ever. The rest of "The Simpsons," I can take or leave.

[4_Legs_Good]

36. Treehouse of Horror VII

The one with the Kodos and Kang disguise themselves as Clinton and Dole.

"Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos!"

Best line from TV EVER

[DrWeird]

37. Homerphobia.

Bart: Dad, why'd you take me to a gay steel mill?

Homer: WHAA?!

Steel worker #1: Hot stuff, coming through!

Homer: ALL YOU PEOPLE ARE SICK!

Steel worker #2: Oh, be nice!

39. The Second Treehouse of Horror

Next would be the hallucinogenic pepper episode and Homer's medical marijuana.

[Seeking Serenity]

40. There are way too many but here goes

The Duff Gardens one was funny (Just six more inches and I can fit it in the 'fridge!)

The B-Sharps ('cause I'm a Beatles fan).

The one where Sideshow Bob tries to kill Bart (OK, the one where he sends threatening mail from prison and has DIE BART DIE on his chest That one is particularly funny for the scene when Marge goes to Chief Wiggum about the threatening letters and she points out that there is a law against such a things and he says, "Whaddaya know. It's also against the law to put squirrels down your pants for the purposes of gambling. All right boys, knock it off!" And the SB sings the entire score from HMS Pinafore.)

Frank Grimes

The history lesson (Odysseus, Joan of Arc, Hamlet, with Ralph Wiggum as Laertes "Here's my mad face. grrrrr."

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

42. The one where Marge finds out he got married while drunken gambling!!!

I don't know why but it must be important:)

[philosophie_en_rose]

43. President Lisa

Secretary Milhouse on the government's financial doom: "Remember when we invested in children as our future? BIG MISTAKE."

:)

I also like the one with *NSync. YVAN EHT NIOJ.

[NightTrain]

44. The one where that military robot parachutes onto the island.

n/t

[marigold20]

46. Bart hears an unearthly song coming from the church doors

and it turns out to be Flanders singing. Bart shudders and says that's strangely disturbing!

Also - Bart was sentenced to death during a mob episode. The Rev. Lovejoy pats him on the back and says, "There, there. There, there."

[philosophie_en_rose]

47. Who controls the British crown?

Who keeps the metric system down?
We Do. We Do.
Who keeps the martians out of sight?
Who rigs every Oscar night?
We Do. We Do.

:)

[pagerbear]

48. That's eerie!

Resembles BFEE/PNAC too closely!
Except for the bit where they sing and dance.

[neverborn]

49. Monorail!!!
