What is your all-time favorite episode of "The Simpsons" and why?

The Obsolete Man

22 Short Films About Springfield.

It showcases all the lesser characters, and provided some of the Simpsons' funniest moments. Plus, it had Cletus the Slack Jawed Yokel's theme song!

"Some Folk'll never eat a skunk,
and then again some folk'll
Like Cletus, the Slack Jawed Yokel!!!"

Priceless.

My favorite episode is where Krusty the Clown got arrested in the Kwik-E-Mart and it was not him it was Sideshow Bob.

??????????????????????????????

Chief Wiggum: Well we've made a terrible, terrible mistake. But, it won't happen again.

Krusty: It better not you dim whit.

I love the episode where all of Barts friends team up with his Grandpa and beat up Nelson. Although there is 2 many good 1's to choose the best!

Two best episodes are the "B-Sharps" episode and the episode with the "Monothingy".

The B-sharps is great because it was such a brilliant take off on the Beatles. If you are a knowlegable Beatles fan there are a lot of subtle inside jokes in that episode. It took true genius to write that one. Plus the addition of George Harrison garners bonus points.

The Monothingy episode has to be considered because it gave to the world Homer's immortal line "Donughts...is there anything they can't do?"

Let's not forget about the "insanity peppers" episode. That one is probably my favorite. You know, the one that featured Johnny Cash as the "space Coyote".

I also like the one where Homer got to see his mom. I did not even know that Homer's mom was alive until I saw that. I thought she was dead or something...

One that I love is the one where Mr. Burns opens a casino and Marge develops a gambling addition and great quotes!
Marge: Maybe I should get some professinal help
Homer: No! that's too expensive, just don't do it anymore!

Ralph: I'm Idaho!
Skinner: yes of course you are

Goulet: are you sure this is the casino? maybe I should call my manager
Nelson : your manager is telling you to shut up!
Goulet: Vira said that? Hmmm.

It's a pretty tough call between the "You're Cut" episode where Homer takes over Flanders' job of football coach, and the "Curfew" episode, where the kids of Springfield are put on curfew because of some adult vandals. But since I only have one choice it would have to be the curfew episode, mainly because of the "Kids and Adults" song toward the end and the fact that the senior citizens won the argument by putting everybody younger than them on curfew. I also like the "Someone should iron you" line by Ralph and the old man complaining during the closing credits about his pills being kicked down the drain. Sorry about the length.

The Way We Was. The episode where Homer and Marge almost went to the prom together. I guess I'm a romance freak.

Oh, and that one where they showcased all the Simpsons spinoffs. Strange, but funny.

Who Shot Mr. Burns was also cool.

Brett Ferino
04-28-2001, 02:31 PM
I also like the one where they told about Lisa's Sax. In the beginning, they had a parody of the theme of "All in the Family"...

Brett Ferino
05-01-2001, 03:19 PM
I also like the one where Lisa went to Washington..

05-15-2001, 03:59 PM

Homer skips church...

"I'm wizzin with the door open and I love it"

"Gee Apu, when they were handing out religions you must of been out takin a wiz"

The Halloween specials are the best. The one with the toaster that is a time machine is one the greatest episodes in tv history.

Aside from those I like the one where Marge goes into the pretzel making business if only for the cool fight scene at the end.

10-27-2001, 10:03 AM
I would say problably the one where they went to New York, or the monorail one. I cant decide.

My favorite is The Flaming Moe one with Aerosmith. I also love the John Waters/gay steel-workers one.

From the early seasons, definitely "Lemon of Troy". Probably because it's got so many of the townspeople in.

It's the one where Homer teaches a relationship class and tells everyone his and Marge's bedroom secrets.

My favorite episode is when Homer has a crush on the new female employee at the nuclear plant (voiced by Michelle Pfeiffer). I love it when Homer is thinking about her and starts to say "think unsexy thoughts" and an image of Barney in a bikini singing the theme to I Dream of Jeannie pops into his mind. :lol:

My favorite Simpsons episode is where Bart calls Moe's Tavern and asks for "Seemore Butts." I have a handheld tape recorder, and I laughed even harder when I played really fast and really slow.

I like the Halloween Episodes and the one where Homer gets a computer and becomes Mr. X. One scene from the episode is where he is on the toilet and starts singing! :lol: I love that episode! I think its called 'The Computer Wore Menace Shoes' or something like that.

The Frank Grimes episode is #1 in my book.
Also great:
Where Homer refuses to go to church & the house catches on fire.
Medicinal Marajuana episode from last season.
Homer becomes morbidly obese to be able to work from home.
Homer goes into business as "Mr. Plow"
Any Troy Mclure episode.

One of mine is Cape Feare, with the deleted scenes.

There is one deleted scene where Homer goes downstairs during to get a midnight feast and sees Cheif Wiggum eating a sloppy joe's, he asks where he got if from and he said maid Conseula (spelling?) made it for him (the maid is dressed as sideshow bob) later after homer goes back to bed he says "yep good old maid Conseula" then he screams "We dont have a maid!"

I like most episodes; they are all funny in their own way.
What does come to mind though are;
*Dead Putting Society*

the ep where Homer has a fight with the garbage man, the ep where Moe opens the restaurant, and Cape Feare, with side show Bob. All very funny!

Homer: Shame on all of you. Give me my dignity! I just came here to see "Honk If You're Horny" in peace!



-Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala-D'oh-cious (The "Mary Poppins" spoof)

Homer: Shary Bobbins, I want another beer.
Shary: Well, you know, Homer [musical intro, Shary starts singing]
If there's a job that must be done,
You'll find it's much more fun...
Homer: [interrupting] YOU'LL find it's even more fun if YOU get it
for ME!
Shary: [continuing...]
But the beer will taste more sweet
If you get up off your seat...
Bart: Lady, the man asked for a beer, not a song.
