FTA-TV Guardian readers top 10 Simpsons episodes.

[Brad Goodman]

Selma's Choice isn't getting enough reps here....

Homer's sandwich is the single greatest scene in Simpsons history.

 

[Deledio2Conca]

Well this...this is a black day for baseball.

"And heerrrreeeee come the pretzels"

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Homer's sandwich is the single greatest scene in Simpsons history.

Homer: Marge, I'd like to be alone with the sandwich for a moment.
Marge: Are you going to eat it?
Homer: ...Yes.

 

[Cruyff14]

Another of favourite eps is Mountain of Madness, largely for this classic Burns line:

Homer: You know, Mr. Burns, you're the richest guy I know. Way richer than Lenny.
Burns: Oh yes. But I'd trade it all....for a little more.

This is also a top episode, always have enjoyed this one.

Homer The Smithers is great as well.

 

[THRILLHO]

Selma's Choice isn't getting enough reps here....

Oh, I'm not a doctor.

Itchy and Scratchy Land is fantastic and terribly under-appreciated. I could probably quote the whole episode.

Ahh! Sharkboy!
Okay. Let's make a pact. This is going to be the greatest vacation ever or we'll disband and join other families. Agreed.
Alright, we're here. And let us never speak of the shortcut again.
Welcome to Itchy and Scratchy land where nothing can possiblie go wrong. Heh, possibly go wrong. That's the first thing that's ever gone wrong
The entire BORT license plate scene.
Please, kill me.
Marge Simpson report to the front desk we have arrested your son. Marge Simpson report to the front desk we have arrested your older, fatter, balder son.
But Marge! I was a political prisoner.
How were you a political prisoner?
I kicked a giant mouse in the butt! Do I have to draw you a diagram?

 

[Cruyff14]

haha sharkboy quote is great.

Still can't believe I'm the only one to have mentioned Lisa The Simpson and Lisa The Vegetarian.

 

[Heisenberg_]

haha sharkboy quote is great.

Still can't believe I'm the only one to have mentioned Lisa The Simpson and Lisa The Vegetarian.

Episodes that focus on Lisa and Marge are just shit IMO.

 

[Cruyff14]

Go back and watch them and I challenge you to try and not find them funny.

Generally agree though.

There are exceptions besides the above, Summer of 4 ft 2 and The Springfield Connection are two more examples.

 

[RickSanchez]

Lisa the Vegetarian is brilliant.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Homer: Marge, I'd like to be alone with the sandwich for a moment.
Marge: Are you going to eat it?
Homer: ...Yes.

Him screaming "DUFF GARDENS, HOORAH!" then passing out on the horn is gold.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Lisa the Vegetarian is brilliant.

"It's just a little airborne, it's still good, it's still good!"

Lisa the Simpson is one of the better Lisa episodes as well.

"Mooching war widows!"
"Little girl likes her brain. What's your opinion?"

Agree generally though that episodes centred on Marge or Lisa struggle to reach the same lofty heights.

 

[krisholio14]

Homer's sandwich is the single greatest scene in Simpsons history.

Homer: Marge, I'd like to be alone with the sandwich for a moment.
Marge: Are you going to eat it?
Homer: ...Yes.

This is all your fault! Why-..oh how can I stay mad at you....

 

[Kaiser Powser]

My 1 and 2:

The episode where Homer gets fat so he can work from home

and

The grease episode.

Both classis, laugh the whole way through.

 

[raskolnikov]

My favourite episode that focuses on Lisa is 'Lisa Gets an A'. The scene at the end with Homer eating Pinchy is gold.

Bart: "You going to eat that all by yourself".
Homer: "Uh huh. Pinchy would've wanted it that way." "Oh man this tastes good. I wish Pinchy were here to enjoy this".

 

[Rod Stroker]

My 1 and 2:

The episode where Homer gets fat so he can work from home

King Size Homer. It's in my top 3.

"To start press any key"
"Hey, where's the Any key?"

 

[roostersgal4eva]

Lisa the Vegetarian is brilliant.

Loved it...

[YOUTUBE]aM6xVQwIOYQ[/YOUTUBE]
And of course you can't just say it normally - gotta do the whole conga thing lol

 

[Cruyff14]

"It's just a little airborne, it's still good, it's still good!"

Lisa the Simpson is one of the better Lisa episodes as well.

"Mooching war widows!"
"Little girl likes her brain. What's your opinion?"

Agree generally though that episodes centred on Marge or Lisa struggle to reach the same lofty heights.

I mentioned both.

In Lisa The Vegetarian, this is the standout quote:

Homer: Are you saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal.
Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.

and this LOL

Homer: Marge? Since I'm not talking to Lisa, would you please ask her to pass me the syrup?
Marge: Dear, please pass your father the syrup, Lisa.
Lisa: Bart, tell Dad I will only pass the syrup if it won't be used on any meat product.
Bart: You dunkin' your sausages in that syrup homeboy?
Homer: Marge, tell Bart I just want to drink a nice glass of syrup like I do every morning.
Marge: Tell him yourself, you're ignoring Lisa, not Bart.
Homer: Bart, thank your mother for pointing that out.
Marge: Homer, you're not not-talking to me and secondly I heard what you said.
Homer: Lisa, tell your mother to get off my case.
Bart: Uhhh, dad, Lisa's the one you're not talking to.
Homer: Bart, go to your room.
Lisa: Why don't you just eat him, Dad?
Homer: I don't need any serving suggestions from you! You barbeque-wrecking, know-nothing know-it-all!
Lisa: That's IT! I can't live in a house with this prehistoric carnivore. I am out of here!
[leaves and slams the door]
Homer: That's it! Go to your room!

Lisa The Simpson is my number 2. It is hilarious.

The buildings collapse show, and the butting of head with the saucepans. Gold.

The one where they find out Skinner is an imposter.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

The one where they find out Skinner is an imposter.

Haha, that one is often cited as the Simpsons' "jump the shark" moment. Still had some good gags though.

Homer: Okay, once more. Where are we going?
Edna: To Capital City.
Homer: And why are you and the old lady in the car?
Agnes: We're gonna talk Armin Tanzarian into coming back.
Homer: And why is Marge here?
Marge: I came up with the idea.
Homer: And why am I here?
Marge: Because the streets of Capital City are no place for three unescorted
ladies.
Homer: Why are the kids here?
Marge: Because we couldn't find Grandpa to sit for them.
Homer: Why is Grandpa here?
Abe: Because Jasper didn't want to come by himself!
Homer: Huh, fair enough.

with the camera slowly pulling back to reveal more and more people in the car, including Jasper for no reason whatsoever.

Chalmers: Good lord! The rod up that man's butt must have a rod up its butt!

Lisa: His name doesn't matter. "A rose by any other name would smell as
sweet."
Bart: Not if you called them stench blossoms.
Homer: Or crapweeds.
Marge: I'd sure hate to get a dozen crapweeds for Valentine's Day. I'd
rather have candy.
Homer: Not if they were called scumdrops!

 

[bungalow_bill]

Not enough love in this thread for Frank Grimes.



Homer: Hi, Grimey old buddy.
Grimes: I'm not your buddy, Simpson. I don't like you. In fact, I
hate you! Stay the hell away from me, because from now on,
we're enemies!
Homer: Okay. Do I have to do anything?


Grimes: I'm saying you're what's wrong with America, Simpson. You
coast through life, you do as little as possible, and you
leech off of decent, hardworking people like me. Heh, if you
lived in any other country in the world, you'd have starved
to death long ago.
Bart: He's got you there, dad.





Grimes: Oh, I, I can't stand it any longer. This whole plant is
insane. Insane, I tell you! [snaps mentally] Daahh! Aaah!
[runs out of the auditorium, and into an equipment room]
I can be lazy too! [takes his tie off, and moons one of the
technicians] Look at me, I am a worthless employee, just like
Homer Simpson! Give me a promotion!
[walks into the break room, and grabs two donuts from the
box]
Ooh, I eat like a slob, but nobody minds! [eats in an
exaggeratedly slobbish fashion]
[heads into a bathroom]
[from bathroom] I'm peeing on the seat. Give me a raise!
[emerges from the bathroom and waves his hands in Homer's
face] Now I'm returning to work without washing my hands.
But it doesn't matter, because I'm Homer Simpson!
[runs to Homer's work station and spins around in the chair]
I don't need to do my work, 'cause someone else will do it
for me. D'oh! D'oh! D'oh! [slaps forehead on each
"D'oh!"]
Homer: Hey, you okay, Grimey?
Grimes: I'm better than okay. I'm Homer Simpson.
Homer: [chuckles] You wish.
Grimes: [notices Burns has walked in] Oh, hi, Mr. Burns. I'm the
worst worker in the world. Time to go home to my mansion and
eat my lobster.
[walks up to some dangerous-looking wires]
What's this? [reads sign] "Extremely High Voltage." Well, I
don't need safety gloves, because I'm Homer Simp--
[zap]

 

[ashley12]

no "homer at the bat" i rate that as the greatest.
Lisa: You stink Strawberry, we want Home Run Homer
Bart/Lisa: Darryl...Darryl...Darryl....Darryl
Marge: Children, that's not very nice.
Lisa: Mom, their professional athletes their used to this sort of thing, it rolls right off their back.
[Darryl Strawberry is then seen wiping a tear from his eye]



[Marge is filming Homer sitting in the dugout at a softball game. Homer starts to scratch his crotch]
Marge Simpson: Oh, dear.
[points the camera at her feet]
Marge Simpson: Children, tell me when your father stops scratching himself.
[long pause]
Marge Simpson: Kids...?
Bart Simpson: We'll tell you, Mom.

Homer Simpson: You're Darryl Strawberry!
Darryl Strawberry: Yes.
Homer Simpson: You play right field.
Darryl Strawberry: Yes.
Homer Simpson: I play right field too.
Darryl Strawberry: So?
Homer Simpson: Well, are you better than me?
Darryl Strawberry: Well, I've never met you, but... yes.

[Mr. Burns made a bet that the plant softball team would beat Shelbyville]
Mr. Burns: I've decided to bring in a few ringers, professional baseballers. We'll give them token jobs at the plant and have them play on our softball team. Honus Wagner, Cap Anson, Mordecai "Three-Finger" Brown...
Smithers: Uh, sir?
Mr. Burns: What is it, Smithers?
Smithers: I'm afraid all of those players have retired and, uh... passed on. In fact, your right-fielder has been dead for a hundred and thirty years.

[Mr. Burns hired a hypnotist to make the plant softball team win]
Hypnotist: You are all very good players.
Players: [chanting in unison] We are all very good players.
Hypnotist: You will beat Shelbyville.
Players: [chanting in unison] We will beat Shelbyville.
Hypnotist: You will give one hundred and ten percent.
Players: [chanting in unison] That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.


Mr. Burns: [Seeing Don Mattingly shaved the middle of his head off] Mattingly, I thought I told you to trim those sideburns? Go home, you're off the team, for good!
Don Mattingly: Fine.
[Under his breath]
Don Mattingly: I still like him better than Steinbrenner.

Missed the best line of the episode, mainly because its no longer really a large amount of money, but this is a fantastic scene. Cant find the quote, but Burns and the other rich guy are organising the bet, and the other guy announces they should bet $1million. Burns asks to make it really interesting, other guy asks if a mill isnt interesting to you, and Burnsie explains the basic process of how big wagers are made.

This thread reminds me just how much I miss my 6pm Simpsons fix...

 

[raskolnikov]

One of my favourite episodes is 'A Star is Burns'. Purely for this scene.

[YOUTUBE]mV1LWhNpTJU[/YOUTUBE]

This has me in hysterics every time. It works on so many levels!

 

[d33my]

Two bad neighbours is another classic. Zingers like:

'Excuse me sir, what are you doing?'
'I'm going to punch George Bush in the face.'
'Okay, is he expecting you?'

and George Bush trying to order stew from Krusty Burger.

etc.
