The Simpsons 20th anniversary - What's your favourite episodes?

[jebus]

Saw a rundown of the Guardians 20 favourite episodes so thought I'd ask here, but I'll keep it to my seven favourite. If you need reminding then look up wtso.net for every episode synopsis

Anyway, and not in order of preference

Homer at the Bat, Season 3 Episode 17

Mr. Burns bets $1,000,000 that his company team can beat a competing plant's team. In order to do so, he replaced the regular company team with new security guard Roger Clemens, new janitor Wade Boggs, lunchroom cashier Ken Griffey Jr., and other new employees like Steve Sax, Don Mattingly, Ozzie Smith, Darryl Strawberry, Jose Canseco, and Mike Scoscia (who runs the solid contaminate encapsulator).

Marge vs The Monorail, Season 4 Episode 12

After getting $3 million from a fine due to Mr. Burn's illegal disposal of nuclear waste, the town decides to spend money on a needless monorail ....built from shoddy materials. Leonard Nimoy guest voices as himself.

Whacking Day, Season 4 Episode 20

While the town of Springfield prepares for the annual snake whacking day (which Lisa dreads), Bart gets expelled from school for embarrassing Mr. Skinner during a school inspection. Barry White guests

Cape Feare, Season 5 Episode 2

Sideshow Bob is paroled from prison, and he has only one thing in mind for Bart: revenge.

Lisa On Ice, Season 6 Episode 8

Sibling rivalry breaks out on and off the ice when Lisa proves to be a better hockey player than Bart

Radioactive Man, Season 7 Episode 2

Friendships could be torn when Bart and Milhouse are both up for the role of `Fallout Boy' in the new `Radioactive Man' movie. Meanwhile, the town of Springfield sees $$$ and milk the `Radioactive Man' film crew for all their cash.

A Fish Called Selma, Season 7 Episode 19

Troy McClure's sagging film career is given a boost when he is seen in public with a woman. And to stay in the public eye, Troy must do more than merely date this woman, who happens to be Selma.


Also this surely has to be the Simpsons greatest song

ipKwNbD1M1Y

Perfectly captures Mr.Burns humorous evil from the early seasons (sadly lost after some time)

The one where Bart goes to work in the Burlesque house is my favourite and has the best ever Simpson's musical number at the end.

...and the "Sex Cauldron joke" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bitxD1H52c) is one of my favourites.

I'm scared that if I start listing my favourite episodes/moments/songs, I'll be here all night.

[Razors left peg]

just anything that Homer ever says is my favorite part of the show

[superfrank]

Couldn't really pin one down but off the top of my head: the one which ripped off Rear Window or the one where Sideshow Bob becomes mayor.

[danthesaint]

the leader episode was quality
na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-Leader!!!

[stann]

Tend to think more in terms of favourite scenes rather than episodes, as most every episode has something brilliant in it. If pushed the Frank Grimes one is one of my faves though, and the Hank Scorpio one.

Favourite scenes include Homer trying to intercept his abusive letter to Mr Burns:
"Hello, my name is Mr. Burns. I believe you have a letter for me."
"Okay Mr. Burns, what's your first name."
"...I don't know."

Homer falling into Springfield Gorge twice on the skateboard and then the ambulance trolley, the bit where the ambulance drives a foot and hits the tree genuinely nearly killed me the first time I saw it. :D

Moe undergoing the polygraph test:
"I don't deserve this kind of shabby treatment!"
"Buzzzzzzzzz"

[pineapple stu]

The clown college episode is genius.

[John83]

The Stonecutters episode and the one where Homer goes to work for Hank Scorpio are my old favourites, but I saw the dental plan episode again recently, and it's a gem.

[Kingdom]

Die bart, Die!

[Longfordian]

Yeah the Hank Scorpio one, the Frank Grimes one and the Stonecutters for me. So many you could choose though. The monorail one as well.

[endabob1]

Die bart, Die!

No one who speaks German can be a bad man

[danthesaint]

Moe undergoing the polygraph test:
"I don't deserve this kind of shabby treatment!"
"Buzzzzzzzzz"


haha, homer doing the polygraph,

do you understand mr.simpson
"yes"
the polygraph blows up.

also another part i like, homer had a tax problem, and says to your man from fbi will ya pay me under the table i have an IRS problem.

[Kingdom]

I'm scared that if I start listing my favourite episodes/moments/songs, I'll be here all night.

Yup, and I won't stop laughing. Is there anyone who doesn't like The Simpsons.

[stann]

Yes, sad to say the Grace Kelly doesn't like the show! :eek:
Not having the best success changing her mind either. :(

[Roadend]

Where Homer goes back to college, goes to space, they go to Australia, the Burn's Casino and where Burns wants to adopt Bart are some of the best ones.

[Dunny]

Man getting hit by football..:D

That reminds me: I read recently that that episode was running a bit short, and so the rake gag was extended by a minute. Ah, the happy accidents of history.

[gustavo]

"You only move twice" - the one with Hank Scorpio

the Flaming Moe one

Cape Feare

[weecountyman]

Kelsey Grammar is the greatest as Sideshow Bob!

The U2 episode is so nasty, while Ned Flanders going mental is precious!

"Oh my god, that man is my exact double....THAT DOG HAS A PUFFY TAIL.....Here puff"

For you Dunny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWDNDacegeA

Good ol' Hans Moleman :D

At an AA meeting "My name is Hans, alcohol has ruined my life, i'm 31 years old!"

Whenever that man talks I laugh, his voice just matches the character and appearance of him :D

[Dunny]

:D
"Hello this is moleman in the morning, goodmoleman to you, today part four of our series of the agonising pain in which I live everyday"

[sligofan4ever]

:D

Good Moleman to you

Heres anothe rone that wasn't included

Bart: You're gay for Moleman
Lisa: No you're gay for Moleman
Moleman: *sitting on a bench depressed* nobody's gay for Moleman

I never liked the 'new' simpsons episodes, but after all, its Hans :D

[Dillonman]

My fav is one where Mr Burns is the supposed Alien in the woods with Moulder and Scully! Love that episode!

[Schumi]

Who shot Mr Burns? was class too. "I've had it up to here with these rickets." :D

Whats the one where Homer has adopted Hans in place of Bart for some reason? And he loves kissing him on the head! "Try it Marge, its like kissing a peanut!" :D

That's the burns's heir one where he wants to make Bart his Heir.

"You do not lone Mr Burns, you love marge and homer"

"Me bad want money, me sick"
"Oooh he card read good"

[Infadel]

:D''Hey Marge look at this country U-R-Guay''

[Lev Yashin]

Beer Baron....
Just think from sstart to finish its hilarious

From the opening shots of Paddys day when the Britsh Chip shop blows up...think they may have cut that scene since to homer explaining his home made booze exploding by saying "it must'a been that bean i ate"

Ill get you beer baron...No you wont......

[paul_oshea]

cape fear one gotta be my favourite, kinda drawn a story out like they do in only fools and horses. Thats the standout one for me.

The one where moe tries to get homer involved in the insurance scam is another great one. "Must kill Moe.....weee", "oooh lunctime"

ANd prolly third one would be where they think burns is the alien.

[tetsujin1979]

always like the one with the lemon tree
"You must be stupider than you look" - "stupider like a fox"

"yes, eat all of our shirts!"

[ParkLife]

One of my fave scenes..Homer and Flanders are driving to the school in really thick snow.
They hit a fire hydrant.
Ned Flanders: "Homer, I think you hit something.
Homer: I hope it was Flanders. ...

Or the one when homer gets the helper monkey, he's watching a program on Tv about ducks ..
shouts:" Marge can I get a duck"
Marge: "you already have a monkey"
Homer: " Can HE get a duck"

[lionelhutz]

The one where Homer goes skiing and meets Ned who's wearing an overly tight outfit;

"Feels like I'm wearing nothing at all, nothing at all, nothing at all....."

Homer then accidently descends the ski slope and does the splits;

"This is the worst pain ever" followed by him getting battered by snow again and again in the crotch area.

Classic.

[thischarmingman]

Everything about this scene is utterly perfect. A masterclass in comedy.

Just the thought of these and I can't help giggling. I even hear the voice they're said in. Genius.

Here's another 'best of': http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,417748~3~0~25bestand1,00.html

[Roadend]

Epsiode on rte 2 yesterday evening:
"I'd like to solve the puzzle,three loins in the fountain..BZZZZZZZ"

[Wolfie]

The Scorpio one is genius.

The one where Homer is launched into space and inadvertently saves the crew with the help of an "inanimate carbon rod".

The one featuring Moulder and Scully from the X Files.

The one featuring "Planet of the Apes - The Musical" :D . Hysterical stuff.

"I hate every ape I see,
from Chimpan A to Chimpans z,
No, you'll never make a monkey outta me" :D

[Dunny]

Homer (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0144657/): [gasps] Tom Landry's hat, and it's autographed. "To Berman's Dry Cleaning. Best wishes, Tom Landry."
Bart (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004813/): Why don't you buy it?
Homer (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0144657/): I can't buy that. Only management-type guys with big salaries like me can afford things like that.
[gasps]
Homer (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0144657/): Guys like me! I'm a guy like me!
Hank Scorpio (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000983/): Uh, hi, Homer. What can I do for you?
Homer (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0144657/): Sir, I need to know where I can get some business hammocks.
Hank Scorpio (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000983/): Hammocks? My goodness, what an idea. Why didn't I think of that? Hammocks! Homer, there's four places. There's the Hammock Hut, that's on third.
Homer (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0144657/): Uh-huh.
Hank Scorpio (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000983/): There's Hammocks-R-Us, that's on third too. You got Put-Your-Butt-There.
Homer (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0144657/): Mm-Hmm.
Hank Scorpio (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000983/): That's on third. Swing Low, Sweet Chariot... Matter of fact, they're all in the same complex; it's the hammock complex on third.
Homer (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0144657/): Oh, the hammock district!
Hank Scorpio (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000983/): That's right.
