the most brilliant gag on any simpsons episode ever, hands down

Message Bookmarked
Bookmark Removed
is from the episode where bart goes to work for the gangsters, and at the end they're watching a sleazy made-for-tv version of the story ("blood on the blackboard: the bart simpson story! starring richard chamberlain as principal skinner, joe mantegna as fat tony, jane seymour as the woman he loved, and tv's doogie howser, neil patrick harris, as bart simpson!").

homer: so when do we get the check for this?
marge: well...they said they changed it just enough so they don't have to pay us.
homer: awww, you know who the real crooks are? those sleazy hollywood producers!!

and instantly the PRODUCERS credit comes on.

this moment is seriously one of the handful of things that makes me glad i'm alive.

Naah, there's better than that.

mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 10:00 (twenty years ago)

everything involving Rod & Todd is funnier than that

nate woolls (napawo), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 10:06 (twenty years ago)

Like when ROd and Todd are poking a hungover/passed-out Krusty on their front lawn with sticks curiously?

that producers gag isn't even top 300

Not necess. the best but just remembered "Hey I'm seein' double here, four Krusties!"

Konal Doddz (blueski), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 13:15 (twenty years ago)

Barney as Krusty: "I am so Chunky the Clown!" is funnier. That whole Kamp Krusty episode is funnier.

nate woolls (napawo), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 13:27 (twenty years ago)

Bart to Krusty: "The Krusty I know didn't get where he is today by giving up!"

Krusty: "No, I got where I am today by naming names in the fifties."

The best recurring gag (ok, "a" recurring gag, because I'm not really remembering any others) - everything was crashing, rolling down a hill and exploding into flames for awhile there....

The best gag was the one where Homer fails to cross the ravine, gets loaded into an ambulance, ambulance crashes into a tree, Homer falls out the back and down the ravine again.

I felt Roadrunner and Wile E watching and marvelling at the new way to fall down a ravine that they hadn't thought of themselves.

mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 14:26 (twenty years ago)

Mark Grout, that is far from the funniest "gag" televised during the almost two decade long rapidly proceed of The Simpsons. Do you lack a sophisticated thought process, Mr. Grout? Please explain this conclusion.

Ron Dennis, Wednesday, 15 March 2006 14:30 (twenty years ago)

the most brilliant gag on any simpsons episode ever is clearly

"why you little" *arr arrrr arrrrra arrrrrr*

although i guess not hands down

Talking about simpsons gags seems to be a bit overdone nowadays, though.

No no no, it's when Bart does this funny thing to Homer, and Homer says 'D'oh!' and then Bart says, 'Don't have a cow, man!!!!!' Aahhh, I could watch that over and over.

Alternatively, it could be when Homer's time-travelling, finds the perfect life, except nobody's heard of doughnuts, then he leaves and it starts raining doughnuts outside.

Ned T.Rifle (nedtrifle), Thursday, 16 March 2006 11:33 (twenty years ago)

seriously, and i think you'll ALL agree with me..

when Homer decides to setup his own automative telephone ringing service. The phone repeatedly rings Flanders house up in the middle of the night, Ned is so polite that he keeps answering and replacing the handset. Eventually Homer leans out of his windows and bellows at Ned that some people are trying to get some sleep.

Seriously, that is funniest Simpsons scene ever.

oh wait, what about the clown school. Homer picturing his burning colleagues as acrobatic clowns. that could be it?

Ste (Fuzzy), Thursday, 16 March 2006 12:06 (twenty years ago)

Just remembered this one. It's the kind of linguistic tomfoolery I love from classic Simpsons:

At the Mt. Useful Visitors Center, the kids are looking for something
to pass time. Bart tries a Smokey the Bear robot.

Smokey: Only who can prevent forest fires?
[Bart chooses the "You" button over the "Me"]
You pressed "you," referring to me. That is incorrect. The
correct answer is "you".

The best gag was the one where Homer fails to cross the ravine, gets loaded into an ambulance, ambulance crashes into a tree, Homer falls out the back and down the ravine again.

mark, i agree. it's the minuscule distance the ambulance travels before hitting the tree that really makes it. i've seen it about 20 times and i still laugh myself silly at it.

on a similar physical-comedy note: the repeated gag with hans moleman getting hit in the bolls in the "film festival" episode makes me cry tears of blood. especially with nelson's laugh off-camera. actually, that whole episode is a thing of genius.

How could you mention the berries that taste like burning episode without this bit?

As "Under the Sea" plays, a fantasy sequence is imagined with the kids living in a wonderful tree settlement. Martin takes a shower. Wendell uses a water slide. Sherri and Terri drive a bamboo and grass car. Ralph pigs out on food and a monkey butler brings Nelson a drink. Back to reality.
BART: And every night the monkey butlers will regale us with jungle stories.
NELSON: How many monkey butlers will there be?
BART: One at first. But he'll train others.
BART: Good, let's get to work! Me and Nelson will build the treehouse. Martin, draw up plans for a coconut radio, and if possible, a coconut Nintendo system.
LISA: What about the rest of us?
BART: You guys gather food for the big feast tonight! And maybe a little wine for the older kids.
NELSON: Delicious wine?
BART: Exactly.

The same episode where Homer sets up CompuGlobalHyperMegaNet.

Marge takes notice of Homer's pencil holder, the butter and butter dish.
MARGE: Is that my good butter?
HOMER: Can't discuss that now, Marge! I have to write another delicious memo!
Homer takes a pencil from the butter and licks it.

For this we actually had to do research - in pre-internet days - to write the joke (& find delightfully obscure sounding civilization that in some way prized hydro engineering)
