Best Simpsons episode

[IronDragon1]

OOT hungers for more...

"Behind the Laughter" by the way-fairly easily decision too.

[deacsoft]

I'm not sure what it's called but the one where Homer has to smoke marijuana because the crows pecked at his eyes is a timeless classic.

[bholdr]

linguo... dead?

'linguo IS dead'

'course i was an eng major.


"gerr-org!!!"

[tolbiny]

Behind the laughter? what are you an idiot? Not even top 20.

Colonel Homer is def one of the tops.
Lisa the greek, The x-files episode....

[jasonHoldEm]

The correct answer is last exit to springfield.

[mason55]

El Viaje de Nuestro Jomer


and it's not even close.

It has Johnny Cash as the talking coyote, it has the best and most creative animation of any episode, it has a great story (back when they had a coherent story line every week), and it has Johnny Cash.

[rusty JEDI]

Stonecutters.

and it's not even close.

dental plan! lisa needs braces! dental plan! lisa needs braces! dental plan! lisa needs braces! dental plan! lisa needs braces!

[TheJackal]

I think the one where Homer is the union boss is the best.

[The-Matador]

The correct answer is "You Only Move Twice" (the one with Hank Scorpio).

Other worthies are the Itchy and Scratchy Land episode, the New York episode, and the Max Power episode.

Eewwwwwwwuuughheeewwww ... I'll take the crab juice!

[private joker]

2001 parody -- Homer goes into space.

"In a way, you're both winners. In another, more accurate way, Barney is the winner."

(And don't forget the shot of Homer floating in zero gravity among red ants and potato chips).

[Duke]

The Computer Wore Menace Shoes

Only because they spent half the episode referencing The Prisoner, a 60's series that originally aired on the BBC and which .01% of people seem to remember.

Dedicating that much to a joke that 9 people understand was awesome.

---- homer the smithers ---

Smithers is packing his luggage in the airport van.

Homer: [yelling from his window] Uh, Mr. Smithers? I don't
understand 2,700 of my new duties.
Smithers: Well, the van's leaving; which one duty is giving you the
most trouble?
Homer: Um... what do I do in case of fire?
Smithers: [muffled from inside the van] Sorry, can't hear you. Bye!
[the van leaves]
Homer: [sits, then looks at Mr. Burns' office burning down]
Aw, just my luck.

----------------

Homer: Here are your messages:
"You have 30 minutes to move your car",
"You have 10 minutes",
"Your car has been impounded",
"Your car has been crushed into a cube",
"You have 30 minutes to move your cube".


or ----homer to the max----

Homer: Your honor? I'd like to sue the producers of "Police Cops"
for twenty million dollars for improper use of my name.
Judge: Court finds in favor of "Police Cops". Next case.
Homer: [shuffles papers] Then I'd like to legally change my name!
Judge: What name would you prefer?
Homer: Any of these will be fine.
Judge: Hmm. "Hercules Rockefeller". "Rembrandt Q. Einstein".
"Handsome B. Wonderful". Huh, I'm going to give you the only
name you spelt correctly. From this day forward, your name
shall be ...
[cut to a shot of Lisa, reading from a sheet of paper on the
Simpsons' couch]
Lisa: "Max Power"?
Homer: Dynamic, isn't it?
Bart: I love it, Max.
Marge: You changed your name without consulting me?
Homer: That's the way Max Power is, Marge. Decisive.
Uncompromising! And rude!

-------

Marge: But this will be so confusing! The mailman won't know what
to do. Did you think of the mailman at all before you did
this?
Homer: Yes, briefly.
Marge: And what about the tattoo on my you-know-what?
Homer: Oh, Honey, they have acids that can burn that off.
Marge: But I fell in love with Homer Simpson! I don't want to
snuggle with "Max Power"!
Homer: Nobody snuggles with Max Power. You strap yourself in and
feel the "G"s!
Marge: Oh, Lord.
Homer: And it doesn't stop in the bedroom. Oh, no. I'm taking
charge! Kids, there's three ways to do things. The right
way, the wrong way, and the Max Power way!
Bart: Isn't that the wrong way?
Homer: Yeah, but faster!


cheers

[Bulldog]

Geez, you want me to pick one?

Of course, Stonecutters, and You Only Move Twice, and many, many more. But here are a couple others I like a lot:

I'm Spelling as Fast as I Can
"I have the buyer's remorse" -random Ribwich purchaser guy

Lisa's Rival
"In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women" -Homer

This is my favorite as well, but there are many that stand out for me. Maybe I'll be a champion and go through and find my top 20 episodes today!

[beerbandit]

thats is a great episode

Homer: And you didn't think I'd make any money. I found a dollar while
I was waiting for the bus.
Marge: While you were out "earning" that dollar, you lost forty dollars
by not going to work. The plant called and said if you don't
come in tomorrow, don't bother coming in Monday.
Homer: Woo hoo! A four-day weekend.

---------

At the dinner table that night...

Marge: Homer, I really appreciate you making dinner, but this food
tastes a little strange.
Lisa: It hurts my teeth.
Homer: That's because I've loaded it with sugar!
[holds up bag containing "Farmer Homer's Sweet Sweet Sugar"]
Marge, our ship has come in! I found five hundred pounds of
sugar [to Bart, sly] in the forest [to Marge] that I'm going to
sell directly to the consumer! All for a low, low price of one
dollar per pound.
Marge: But the grocery store sells sugar for thirty-five cents a pound.
Lisa: And it doesn't have nails and broken glass in it.
Homer: Those are prizes! [eats a mouthful] Ooh, a blasting cap.


cheers

I have to agree. I've never laughed so hard at a tv show as the first time I saw this. Seen this episode probably 100 times by now and its still funny.

Lemon of Troy

Bart: Awww, it's no use. I'm never gonna find that tree. This whole raid was as useless as that yellow-lemon-shaped rock over there. Hey, wait a minute! There's a lemon behind that rock!

Bart: If you get lost, remember, you can always find east by staring directly at the sun.

Future Women: Like stonehenge, this site will forever be a mystery. Who was Bart, and how did he manage to write his name in solid cement?
Future Guy: He must have been much smarter than his sister lisa, about whom we know nothing.
Future Guy2: Hey, let's bring him back by using technology.
*random yoyo tricks from bart*
Future Guy: What's normal to him amazes us.
Future Guy2: He will be our new god.

Homer: No one in history has EVER done anything this clever (after they get towed into the impound lot, ala Troy)

After watching this weeks episode TiVoed last night, this thread makes me weep for when simpsons was the best show on television. Although this weeks was better than most recent ones, the episodes in this thread are some of the greatest television ever created.

[slickpoppa]

I'd have to think about this a lot more, but "22 Short Films about Springfield" should be up there.
