Best Simpsons Episode?

Modeps

Askmen.com came up with their best 10 a while ago, even if you agree or disagree, out of these which is your favorite?

Flaming Moe's - As one of the early episodes that helped solidify the show's sharp wit and satirical ability, "Flaming Moe's" has everything a classic Simpsons episode should have: gut-busting humor, nifty parody, and some superstar cameos to seal the deal.

Homer at the Bat - In one of the show's more memorable moments, Mr. Burns decides to recruit all-stars for his company's softball team to ensure victory. But when a series of misfortunes befall the major leaguers (Ozzie Smith gets lost in a mystery spot, Jose Canseco is busy saving a burning house, and Roger Clemens thinks he's a chicken), it's up to the good old Springfield residents to save the day.

NYC vs Homer - The family's voyage to the Big Apple is courtesy of Barney, who steals Homer's car while slightly intoxicated and leaves it somewhere in the city.

Homer and Apu - Proving that when bad luck strikes, Homer is not far behind, Apu finds himself on the street after Homer eats some spoiled meat from the Kwik-E-Mart, which leads to Apu's dismissal. In this episode, Homer also helps the police get incriminating evidence against poor Apu by going undercover.

Treehouse V - The first is a brilliant parody of Stephen King's The Shining, in which Homer goes crazy while he and the family are taking care of Mr. Burns' mansion in the hills. The second, "Time and Punishment," involves Homer traveling back in time after his toaster short-circuits, while the third, "Nightmare Cafeteria," finds Bart and Lisa the target of children-eating faculty. The laughs never end and the pop-culture references run amok in an episode that does a great job of incorporating Halloween-themed stories with the standard Simpsons charm.

Behind the Laughter - Demonstrating their uncanny ability to capitalize on current trends, the writers brilliantly spoof VH1's perennial hit, Behind the Music. Adopting the documentary-like format, viewers are treated to a behind-the-scenes look at the rise and fall of one of television's most beloved families.

Cape Feare - One has to wonder if the sheer brilliance of this episode will ever be matched in the future. The Simpsons has always been a master at paying homage to some of the great iconic moments in pop culture. This one is no exception, as it parodies Martin Scorsese's blockbuster with ingenious precision.

Homer's Phobia - Exploring one of television's more prominent taboos, tensions rise when John, a gay gift-shop owner, becomes acquainted with Marge, Bart and Lisa, but gets a little too close to them for Homer's homophobic taste.

Mysterious Voyage of Homer - Homer attends the Annual Chili Cook-Off and, confident in his ability to consume anything, digests several dangerously hot peppers (prepared by Chief Wiggum), whose side effects include hallucinogenic visions.

Two Bad Neighbors - The family is in for quite a treat when former President George Bush becomes their new neighbor. But what looks like a great addition to Evergreen Terrace turns sour when Bart, emulating the classic Dennis the Menace premise, tries to befriend a grumpy George

Agreed that one was good. "Bart, stop teasing your sister! Lisa, drink the water!"

Homerclese cares not for beans!

plus Lisa's LSD trip thing when she drinks the water.
lmao
 
I can agree with "Cape Feare" as being the most ingenious episode, along with "Behind The Laughter". In Cape I think its brilliant when you see Sideshow Bob working out and you see on his knuckles: Luv and Hat(Line over A for pronunciation effect). That episode is sheer genius television.


Does anybody know if the episode where Troy McClure marries Selma was the last episode Phil Hartman did? I was wondering, because it seems like they are saying a final goodbye to him at the end of the episode.

Little aside from Troy McClure:" Hi, I'm Troy McClure, you may remember me from such movies as "P is for Psycho" and "The President's Neck is Missing" Man, just typing that has me laughing my ass off.


Peace

"Whoever thought that Homer's butt would one day actually stop the release of toxic gases"

...or something to that affect :beer:😀
 
I love the clown college episode.

Man, I forgot about that one. Around here they dont play that one hardly at all.(If I see Skinner's Sense of Snow again, I'll scream)

I love the part when Homer is eating dinner with the family and doing his best "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" routine with the circus tent and mashed potatoes. Marge and the kids are looking at him funny and he looks back at them and hears the circus music while they are in clown gear.

Homer: "Thats it! You've stood in my way long enough, I'm going to Clown College!
Bart: " I bet you didnt see that one coming."

So damn funny!



Peace
