The Simpsons did a perfect Pulp Fiction parody

Some fans think the "Pulp Fiction" parody in Season 7, Episode 21 ("22 Short Films About Springfield") is one the best the show has ever pulled off. In the entry, Chief Clancy Wiggum (Hank Azaria) and his officers have a similar conversation to the one between Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson) and Vincent Vega (John Travolta) about Big Macs in France. The part where Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis) hits Marcellus Wallace (Ving Rhames) with his car is played out between Snake (Azaria) and Chief Wiggum, and they eventually end up in the Military Antique store owned by Herman Hermann (Harry Shearer), who ties them up and waits for Zed.

When asked by u/Unlikely-Fun-2220 in the r/TheSimpsons community on Reddit about the show's movie parodies, many fans responded that their favorite was the homage to the Quentin Tarantino film. Several users mentioned their favorite quotes, like u/Astarttes400000, who showed love for the donut song Chief Wiggum sings, and u/samsquanch2000, who posted Herman's line from the actual film, "Looks like the spider caught himself a coupla flies." Meanwhile, u/Emergency_Ad2487 simply said, "One of their best episodes."

Those fans aren't alone in their love for "22 Short Films About Springfield." Entertainment Weekly put the installment at No. 14 on their 2003 "The Simpsons" episode ranking, and wrote, "If that's not enough, it wedges in a priceless 'Pulp Fiction' parody, replete with a nuanced discussion of the difference between Krusty Burger and McDonald's."
