OMG, that was great. He's trying to think of what the inspector told him, so he thinks in a little bubble above his head, and the Instructor goes "If you ever get into trouble, just remember...." and then it cuts to Flanders in his spandex suit, with Flanders voice saying something, I forgot. And he goes "Damn Sexy Flanders." HAHAHAHA....that was awesome.

Flanders' quote: "It's like I'm wearing nothing at all. Nothing at all. Nothing at all."

ZV

well, if we wanted to be exact, the quote is: "feel's like i'm wearing nothing at all!... (etc)"
homer: "stupid sexy flanders!"

but back to the visual gags... recent memory has apu "nursing" 6 or 8 of his kids with an udder-like attachment, bart wiping a wall with a fried fish sandwich, turning it clear (to demonstrate the sandwich is sufficiently unhealthy enough for homer to gain 300 lbs to g on disability), the whole opening scene when bart steals homer's jar of pennies (a la indiana jones & raiders of the lost ark), a scene opening with the camera overhead, zooming in on burns with the imperial march from star wars playing (more auditory gag than visual, though) (come to think of it, there are a few more audio jokes like that, like a scene with soldiers from the wicked witch of the west's castle and the music that goes along marching by the power plant)... there are literally thousands out there, though

The Hank Scorpio episode:
Where Homer trips James Bond as he is escaping the building.
and
When the army is invading the facility and fighting Scorpio's goons in the background while Homer is casually talking to him like nothing is happening.
"Oh, Homer... If you feel like killing someone on the way out, I'd really appreciate it."

haha, that's a great episode. At the end "It's not the dallas cowboys, but it's one step closer. " *looks* "OHHH The denver broncos :(!!!" Then marge "I don't see what's so wrong with the denver broncos" and you see them getting hit in the head with footballs and such. The morning paper also says "Supervillain Destroys East Coast' or something like that :D

If we are thinking about the same one, Bart and Lisa are having breakfast, and Bart is sayin to Lisa "So I says to Mabel, I says... Oh, I'll finish this later..." as he gets interrupted by Homer walking through.

Just thinking about that "Damn Sexy Flanders" made me laugh again, I forgot about that one.
Also, it was mentioned, but when Homer takes a video of Flanders in the shower and its censored from his crotch down to about halfway on his leg. That was great...

Heres another one... Homer just took some of Burn's sexual vitality medicine or whatever it was, and he goes running home and carries Marge upstairs to bed. Next scene they are naked and looking satisfied, and Marge goes "Oh dear, I hope the kids didn't hear!" Then it cuts to Bart, Lisa, and Maggie looking absolutely shocked in bed with eyes wide open staring up. And then it cuts to Flanders who is also shocked and he says "Oh my..." Haha The blank look on their faces was great...

Of course, Homer unintentially attempts to jump over the canyon. He thinks he's gonna make it, but unfortunately, he doesn't make it and hits about every single rock on the canyon on the way to the bottom. Later, the ambulance pulling his body (in the strecher) up to the top makes his head hit the side of the canyon wall. Right when Homer is placed in the ambulance, the ambulance speeds away, only to immediately crash into a tree, knocking Homer out of the ambulance and making him fall back down into the canyon.

Classic! :D

Yep, the absolute best sight gag of all Simpsons shows. :D

The sad part is, they cut part of it out in the syndicated shows. WTF would they do that??? :|

The parts that put this sight gag over the edge was both times when he fell into the canyon, the skate board, then stretcher fell on his head a few moments after he hit bottom. THAT was the part they cut out in syndication. :|

I'd have to go with the "things bursting into flames for no reason" "tractor crushing Homer" & "stupid sexy Flanders"

Also, there's a tons of good ones from the Medicinal Marijuana episode. Homer's stoned and Ned's at the door.

Ned: Hi-didely-Ho neighboorinoo.
Homer: Oh My God, This guy does the best Flanders.

Utterly Hilarious.

One of my all-time favorrites, "Marge Versus the Monorail." Filled with classic sight gags like the mutant squirrel and trees, but the ending was funnier still, with the giant magnifying glass setting the popsicle sticks on fire and people riding the escalator to nowhere (icing on the cake: the cries of falling citizens during the credits :D )

I love when Homer is shaving and the rainbows spurt from his face, also when he is driving to work and his car just lifts up and he flies through the clouds

I love the episode where Homer goes into space.... Barney puts on a jetpack and takes off, the jetpack promptly runs out of fuel, causing Barney to bounce all along the roof of a pillow factory, only to land in the road where he gets run over by a truck carrying marshmallows...

:D Classic....

I love the one where Homer and Bart get stranded on a camping trip after falling down a waterfall. Homer attempts to catch a rabbit in trap and instead of catching it, sends the poor thing hurtling into the horizon. That gag always sends me into hysterics.
