"Simpson Tide" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson_Tide) was the 19th episode of the ninth season (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Simpsons_(season_9)) and is generally considered to be from the last (https://www.quora.com/What-was-the-last-good-season-of-The-Simpsons) classic (https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSimpsons/comments/14xnzk/what_is_your_golden_age_of_simpsons_seasonwise/) season (https://www.cbr.com/the-simpsons-last-golden-age-episode/#:~:text=The%20overriding%20consensus%20is%20that,The%20Simpsons'%20classic%20storytelling%20style.). In "Simpson Tide" (https://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/Simpson_Tide), Homer gets a new job for one episode, his friends join him for some reason. There's lots of overly wacky gags like penguins manning the SS Antarctica and "Must crush capitalism". Is this episode (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/TheSimpsonsS9E19SimpsonTide) in itself, a classic or the beginning of the end of the classic Simpsons run?
