Gummi de Milo is a classic too, though!

does anyone else think the orchestral version of 'insane in the brain' is so much better than the regular one? i guess marge and i have similar taste.

Best musical moment is in I think "Bart After Dark", where the curfew is put in and Ralph Wiggum interrupts the Adults/Kids song with "I just ate a thumbtack". Priceless.

Perhaps a better question would be - which is the worst Simpson's episode. The one where Bleeding Gums Murphy dies is pretty excrutiating. Infact nearly any episode where Lisa sings.

One of my favorites that I don't think was mentioned is the Halloween Special V(?). Its the one where Homer buys the matter transporter from Dr. Frink. Is that also the same one where Homer goes back in time?
Anyway, my favorite quote:
Dr. Frink: Well, sure, the Frinkiac-7 looks impressive, But I predict that within 100 years computers will be twice as powerful, 10,000 times larger, and so expensive that only the five richest kings in Europe will own them. Apu: Could it be used for dating?
Dr. Frink: Well, technically, yes, but the computer matches would be so perfect as to eliminate the thrill of romantic conquest.

Barney's winning entry for the Springfield Film Festival is the great art-movie ever made: "Don't cry for me _ I'm already dead."
*Sigh*
Futurama has it's moments, too. Certainly Bender the booze-swilling, pornography-consuming, cigar-smoking robot who dreams of destroying the human race is a wonderful, heart-warming creation.

Last Exit won some, I think it was Entertainment Weekly? poll, seems like a totally fair choice.
Homer Badman is satire at its best, perhaps.
But the best? I'm going to have to say Treehouse of Horror 4, with the Shinning, Time and Punishment, and whatever the one where they eat kids is called.

i remember the episode where Homer intentionally gains weight so he can work from home being really funny, but i saw it recently and was disappointed. i think just the Obese Homer in Mumu, Cape, and Hat image was the center of the lols.

― Born In A Test Tube, Raised In A Cage (unperson), Friday, 18 June 2010 11:59 (fifteen years ago)
my second favorite episode, or perhaps tied with the hank scorpio episode, from my childhood is twenty two short films about springfield. bart and milhouse squirting ketchup and mustard off the overpass, gum in lisa's hair, steamed hams, aurora borealis in skinner's kitchen, "this was the largest car I could afford"... <3
also I had no idea why I said 'childtime' upthread makes me sound like a disgusting paedo.

I actually watched King Sized Homer very recently (where he gets fat) and was surprised how good it was.
I'm always surprised at how varied my taste in simpsons is from other people's, in that I reserve myself to seasons 2-6 pretty much entirely, but have been watching some season 7 episodes lately, and am surprising myself at how much I'm enjoying them.
― Tonight I Dine on Turtle Soup (EDB), Friday, 18 June 2010 13:16 (fifteen years ago)

Oh wow, how have I never noticed that!!
I remember when I was very young, watching the episode with the comet, seeing barney and nelson walk out together and thinking that Barney was Nelson's father. Of course I don't know why I inferred this, but, who knows...
― Tonight I Dine on Turtle Soup (EDB), Friday, 18 June 2010 15:59 (fifteen years ago)

Nelson's dad was present in season 4 at the football game in the episode with the big brothers, and in the the later "Bart Star" football episode.
― Tonight I Dine on Turtle Soup (EDB), Friday, 18 June 2010 20:25 (fifteen years ago)
There's no continuity to the existence/prescence of Nelson's dad. He's walked out and never come back, he's been in jail, he's been the soccer coach, they never stuck with a story, but meh, they never do.
― C.R.E.P.E (Trayce), Saturday, 19 June 2010 00:03 (fifteen years ago)
I saw a later season episode where Nelson's actual dad came back. It was rubbish.

Another vote for Bart of Darkness (Rear Window parody). One that I always liked but have probably settled on it as a favourite in the years of not watching the show. There are so many good lines and the feeling of a hot suburban summer is well pitched, from all the childish excitement of the pool truck, to watching black & white 'Classic Krusty' because there's nothing else to do but watch television.
I also love Bart's affinity with Victorian England which crops up in a few episodes. Thinking of his play gives me actual LOLs.
