Yeah, that is like trying to pick the best blow job you've ever had or the best pizza you've ever eaten. You can't because they are all so good, just to varying degrees.

One episode that stands out in my mind forever is the skateboard jump one where homer falls in the gorge, they air lift him into a waiting ambulance, then 1 second after it takes off it drives into a tree, and he rolls out the back and again down into the gorge. I laughed for 2 solid hours after seeing that the first time, and it is still as funny any time I see it now.

[steauengeglase]

The whole thing of Homer playing the knife game at the table deserved some sort of award. It just works on so many levels.

Also the one about the town lemon tree was great. The way they play out a joke is what makes the show so great. It is almost like algebra.Most shows would rather just give you a 2+2=4 joke, most of the Simpsons jokes sort of have a 2=4-2 logic to them. You laugh, then you realize something else about it and you just have to laugh again.

good call...

all of them....

well the first few season's wernt the best.

[marbleman]

errr yeah...

[KoreanBarbeQue]

Thats the best episode Kyle, I gotta agree.
I was going to post that until I read your choice.

I actually laughed till it hurt when I seen the ambulance hit the tree and out came Homer LOL ..

I was going through some OLD threads and decided that I would bump this one in honor of the two episodes tonight.

Couple things:

First couple seasons were NOT the best. In fact, taken in context, seasons one and two pale in comparison to even seasons 11 or 12...

Just to list some of the great simpsons episodes that have occurred in the past few seasons and that you should be able to find on kazaa if I raise anyone's wild hairs to see these.

Pray anything: this season. The moment where santa's little helper comes out wearing the chalice on his head and "he thinks he's papal" is one of the funniest lines I've ever seen, from any humorist in any medium. Add that later homer plays air guitar on the cross - priceless.

Tall Tales: Bufflekill. Hobo Spongebaths. Need I say more?

The sweetest apu: "Homer, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" <cut to homer's mind> "You can run, but you can't GLIDE!!!! <cut back> USA! USA!" I almost fell off the couch in an uncontrollable fit of laughter the first time this one aired.

missionary impossible: The tele-tubbies shooting at homer, stabbing away your problems... It rages on towards a toad-lickin' dristan & holy water finale...


brother's little helper: same season as the missionary one, and if major league baseball spying on people with a satellite and bart running over things in a tank while singing fleetwood mac aren't enough for you, you probably just don't like the show.

and that's just of the top of my head. Granted there were a couple seasons where the episodes were stronger over all (I think probably around 5-8) but simpsons has no reason to even come close to hanging it up yet, seeing how it is still far and away the most entertaining 30 mins of television broadcast each week.

PS- the recently broadcast episode where homer tells flanders "looks like you're short a wife!" almost caused me to spit water out of my nose. All the above episodes hold their own fine when compared to any simpsons episode from any time.

[drew23]

I'm partial to the one where Mr. Burns loses everything and moves in with Smithers. For the one-liners if nothing else.

"I'm riding on the bus!"

"Excuse me, do you know where I might find the 'Burns-Os'?"

"Ketchup... Catsup... Ketchup... Catsup. I'm in way over my head"

Not saying it was the best. Just one of my favorites.

[mark dorman]

A few of my faves would be,
Homer buys the handgun, shooting the telly to change channel:D
Homer as an artist, after messing up building his barbecue( It's time to snorkel the Animals).
Homer the astronaut.
George Bush moves in across the road and Bart destroys his memoirs.
Whacking Day. just too many great episodes. I gave up watchin TV in January, all except 30 mins a Day of the Simpsons.:)

[Brent Illes]

"Homer, that's not God. That's just a waffle Bart threw on the ceiling."

"I know I should not eat Thee... Mmmm, sacrilicious."

[tabularasa]

Thats just about the funniest line ever!!!!

:roflmao:

IMHO i like the episode with Frank Scorpio and the whole Globex Corp / Bond takeoff.

[oplax25]

I think there all great, but one that sticks in my mind is when they get Dunken.

Homer: Don't worry son I'll get those muderous trolls
Bart: WHAT!?!?
Homer: Uhh sorry I mean, I'll get those muderous trools.

[Blackmoxa]

I reallye enjoyed the Tomacco episode, where they crossbreed the plants and all the animals eat it and become addicted. I've never laughed as hard at a Simpsons as when the goat or whatever knocks it's head through the wall and says " Tooommaacccoooo!"

[Morgan Liu]

Stonecutters.

[Brent Illes]

Hearing Patrick Stewart yell "Now, let's get drunk and play ping pong!" cracks me up every time.

[Darth Shithead]

The Big Brother episode. Easily my favorite followed by Itchy & Scratchy Land ep. Big Brother had a ton of great lines....


Woman: What are your reasons for wanting to be a bigger brother?
Homer's brain: Don't say revenge! Don't say revenge!
Homer: Uh...revenge.
Homer's brain: That's it! I'm outta here! [footsteps, and a door slam]


Pepe: Tell me more! I want to know all the constellations.
Homer: Well, there's... Jerry the Cowboy. And that big dipper looking thing is Alan... the Cowboy.
Pepe: Oh, Papa Homer, you are so learned.
Homer: Heh heh heh. `Learn'd', son. It's pronounced `learn'd'.
Pepe: I love you, Papa Homer.
Homer: I love you, too, Pepsi.


Homer: Come on boy we used to have fun together.Remember when I used to push you on the swing?
Bart: I was faking it.
Homer: Gasp! Liar!
Bart: Oh yeah? Remember this? ``Higher, Dad! Higher! Wheeeee!!!''
Homer: Nooooooooo!!!


Bart: Remember when Tom had you in that headlock and you screamed, "I'm a hemophiliac!," and when he let you go, you kicked him in the back?
Homer: Yeah.
Bart: Will you teach me how to do that?
Homer: Sure, boy. First, you gotta shriek like a woman and keep sobbing until he turns away in disgust. That's when it's time to kick some back!!! And then when he's lying down on the ground,...
Bart: Yeah.
Homer: Kick him in the ribs,...
Bart: Yeah.
Homer: Step on his neck,...
Bart: Yeah.
Homer: And run like hell.

I thought it was Hank Scorpio, but I could be wrong, either way great episode. The "I didn't even give you my coat!" scene is just awesome.

Itchy and Scratchy land- all I have to say is that we "need more Bort license plates in the gift shop."

I couldn't possibly pick my favorite homer moment though. If I was forced, I'd pick the one where maggie is born and homer devises a way to drum up business in the bowling alley where he now works - and ends up running around shouting "bowling, get your bowling!!!" while shooting a shotgun in the air.


PS- I'm going to try to move this thread to the cocktail lounge where it belongs now, but I doubt I'll be able to. If ale(c)(x) or james manage to catch this would one of you guys mind doing it? I dredged this up from way back and it looks like it may come alive...

:EDIT: Hank Scorpio.

:D

The film festivle one. Thats all I need to say.

"But 'Football in the Groin' had a football in the groin."

[Z-Man]

"Oh Lord, protect this rockethouse and all who dwell within the rockethouse."

[kitty]

only because it effects my daily life: Homer as a food editor, going on a tour of the printing plant:

newspaper tour guide: "A certain percent of all of our papers is recycled."
Lisa: "what percent is that?"
NTG: "Zero. .... Zero's a percent."

homer, after being awarded job of food editor: "woo hoo! stop the presses!"
press operator, slamming the emergency button, paper flying everywhere: "WHAT!? what's the problem!?"
Homer: "I got the job!"
Press operator: "that's it?!"
homer: "okay, start the presses?"
Press operator: "that will take 3 hours"

(I have to get away from work more often)

From "Lisa's Rval" when Homer found the Sugar truck spilled over on the street.

"Read your town charter boy. If food-stuff should touch the ground, said food-stuff shall be turned over the village idiot. Since I don't see him around, start shoveling!"

Marge: "When are you going to give up this crazy sugar scheme?"
Homer: "Never Marge! Never! I can't live the button down life like you. I want it all, the terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, the Creamy middles. Sure I may offend some of the blue noses with my cocky stride and musky odors. Oh I'll never be part of the so called City Father who cluck their tongues, stroke their beard and talk about 'What's to be done with this Homer S'mpson?!"

[cross]

Gotta be the episode with Frank Grimes .. or Grimmy as his friends used to call him.

[drew23]

"Oh no, the corn! Paul Newman's gonna have ma legs broke."

"Use an open faced club! The sand wedge!"
"Mmmm. Open faced club sandwedge..."

One of the halloween specials:

Homer to Bart and Lisa: Did you steal the car?
Bart and Lisa: No
Homer: Did you raise the dead?
Bart and Lisa: Yes
Homer: But you didn't steal the car?

Barney from the Springfield Springfield episode:
I don't know where you pixies came from but I sure love your pixie drink.

And who can forget Home Office Homer:
Any key, where's the any key?

[drew23]

Oh well, I'll just order a Tab.

[blakjak821]

Homer: Hello, my name is Mr. Burns. I believe you have a letter for me.

Guy: Okay, Mr. Burns, what's your first name?

Homer: I don't know.

"I know I'm not a praying man, but if you can hear me, please save me Superman!"

[cross]

Homer: Humm pointy, ewww slimey, uhhh moving, ah ha! awe 20 dollars =( I wanted a peanut.

Homer's Brain : 20 dollars can buy many peanuts.

Homer: Explain how !?

Homer's Brain : Money can be used to exchange for goods and services.

Homer: woooho !

[tabularasa]

FBI: Ok Homer, we are going to ask you to answer a series of questions. Do you understand?


Homer: Yes. (Boom!) (Sound of detector machine blowing up)

[drew23]

OK, when I say "How are you Mr. Thompson?" and wink my eye and step on your foot, you nod and smile.

How are you Mr. Thompson? :stepping on foot and winking:

Homer: ... *whispering* I think he's talking to you.
