What was the funniest Simpsons episode?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

My favorite was the Mr Sparkulah episode.

"I'm disrespectful to dirt!

Can you see I am serious!

Get out of my way, all of you!

This is no place for loafers.

Join me or die.

Can you do any less?

For lucky best wash, use Mr. Sparkle."

[sniffa]

1. mr burns' casino

my aLL-time favorite.

homer: "boy, i don't mean to aLarm you, but there may be a, or severaL boogey men in the house"

[BigMcLargehuge]

4. I like how they got Robert Goulet to play Bart's treehouse casino

Nelson: on his bike holding a sign with Goulet's name on it-
R Goulet: Are you from The Casino?
Nelson: I'm from A Casino
R Goulet: I think I should talk to my manager
Nelson: Your manager called and said for you to SHUT UP!
R Goulet: Vera said that?

[Elginoid]

2. the "Behind the Music" parody episode...

Behind the Laughter.

[vi5]

3. Mr. Sparkle was one of the best....

I like the Treehouse of Horror one with the Jerry Springer episode.

The one with Homer becoming the Union Leader and leading the strike is another favorite.

Far too many to mention.

[BigMcLargehuge]

5. Homer's sexual harrassment lawsuit episode

with the great little bit about "Ben" The only talk show hosted by a giant bear. "Today's topic, 'Mothers and Runaway Daughters Reunited by their Hatred of Homer Simspon'"

[Magrittes Pipe]

6. Ding! Ding! Ding! Partial credit!

Homer: We'll all go live under the sea.
Under the sea, under the sea
There'll be no accusations
Just friendly crustaceans
Under the seeeeeeeeaaaa

Marge: That's your solution for everything.



I would also have accepted "Itchy and Scratchy: The Movie" for the name of the ice cream truck: "Native American Ice Cream (formerly Big Chief Crazy Cone)"

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

8. My cubicle neighbor and I often refer to cute coworkers "sweet CANS"

if you know what I'm sayin" :)

[flamingyouth]

7. Mr. Burns falls in love

"I'll make you forget all about Rudolph Valentino!" :D

[noonwitch]

9. "The dead have risen-and they're voting republican"

Sideshow Bob runs for Mayor. I love all the Sideshow Bob episodes, and the Fat Tony ones.

Also, the one where Bart writes the love letters to Mrs. Krabapple, and sends her a picture of Gordie Howe when she requests a photo is very funny.

[BigMcLargehuge]

10. strap on your skates Gordy, you're going in!

I love the breakup letter writing session in that one...

Welcome to Dumpsville, population You!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

57. 3 words. I. AM. GAY. LOL

[Zuni]

14. I love Sideshow Bob episodes

When Homer votes for Bob based on his Selma killing policy, When krusty votes 'he framed me for armed robbery but I'm aching for that upper class tax cut.'

[bigwillq]

28. Sideshow Bob is one of the most underrated

TV characters of all time.

[FunBobbyMucha]

11. All time fave is "Bart sells his soul."

It has it all, humor, pathos, meta-references...spaghetti and moe-balls, in-the-garden-of-eden-honey, rock and/or roll, chummmmm....p, run boy, run for your life! And it ends with Martin's eternal soul's utter humiliation. Priceless.

[Surf Cowboy]

12. I have a few.

One is the "One fish, two fish, blowfish, bluefish" episode where the head sushi chef takes his break out in the backseat of his Toyota with one of the waitresses, while the younger chef tries to cut the blowfish safely, "poison fish....poison fish....Ahh, TASTY fish..."

The other is the "Maison Derrierre" episode, where Bart works in the "howse of Burllllesque," as Reverend Lovejoy put it. The musical number in that one is the best ever.

Also, you can't forget the episode where Burns gets all of Santa's Little Helper's pups and is going to turn them into a suit "See my vest, see my vest, made of pure gorilla's chest...Like my sweater? there's no better, than authentic Irish Setter..."

Oh yeah, and don't forget "Whacking Day."

[Zuni]

13. when Marge became a cop

that episode was uber-funny

[underpants]

15. Kamp Krusty or when Homer becomes the football coach

Lisa writing in her diary :"I no longer fear hell for I have been to Kamp Krusty"

Kamp Krusty-the Krustiest place on earth

Kent Brockman describing the revolt at Kamp Krusty...a leaner Homer with FOUR hairs (Who doesn't sweat when he eats anymore)is staring at the TV :"Not the boy Not the boy"
Brockman:"and here is their leader....Bart Simpson"

Homer "D'oh!" Two hairs fall out and his stomach bulges back out


The football one because Homer cuts everyone in the credits at the end, except Joe Namath

Groenig CUT Simon CUT...Namath you stay......(big page of names) Oh there's a whole lot of cuts there.....GROENIG?!?!? I ALREADY CUT YOU!!!!......shushy lady you are cut too.

[bigwillq]

16. The X-Files episode

For me anyway.

When they're carrying the whale throught the forest, it just kills me.
Then at the end they break out in song!

That is one of my fave episodes ever.

[underpants]

20. Well I was relaxing at the local gentlemen's club...

Mr.Simpson it is a felony to lie to a federal officer

Okay I was down at Moe's sucking on mustard packages.

[bigwillq]

22. Great!!!

That whole episode had me in stiches.

[puddycat]

17. the one where they are wired up by the therapist & they shock each other

[Surf Cowboy]

50. YEAH!!! Marvin Monroe!!! When they pawned their TV for family counseling!

[Southpaw Bookworm]

18. The gay steel mill

Which, I believe, would be the one with John Waters voicing the curio shop owner.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

58. Homer's Phobia. "I like my beer cold, my TV loud, and my homosexuals

FLAAAAMING."

"Dad, why did you take me to a gay steel mill?"

[Mike Daniels]

69. Gay steel mill

Homer (to mill workers) : You're all sick (or You're all Freaks! - can't remember specifically)

Mill worker: (in lisping voice and limp wristed gesture) - Oh, be nice!

---------------------

Something about that exchange always cracks me up.

[CanuckAmok]

19. Awsome-ah Powah!

Where Mr. Burns tries to become a more popular billionaire like Arthur Fortune, but gives up: "I'm a selfish old crank, and that fits me like a Speedo!"

or...


Frank Grimes

"Oh my god...this place is a palace! I live in one room above a bowling alley and beneath another bowling alley!"

[underpants]

21. How can you possibly afford this!?!?!

Homer (shrugs): Don't ask me how the economy works.

[DelawareValleyDem]

23. Deep Space Homer

In Rod We Trust.

[mac56]

32. "Sweet dreams and flying machines...

flying safely through the air".

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

83. Hee hee - the ants:

"Freedom! Horrible horrible freedom!"

[Kid_A]

24. The one where Homer goes on a hunger strike.

"Who are you?"

"I am the ghost of Cesar Chavez."

"Then how come you look like Cesar Romero?"

"Because you don't know what Cesar Chavez looks like."


But asking which is the funniest Simpsons episode is like asking which $100 bill is worth the most money.

[cmf]

26. "me so hungy"

That's one of my favorites, too.

[CanuckAmok]

31. "Dancin' away my hunger pains,

movin' my feet so my stomach won't hurt,
I'm kinda like Jesus,
But not in a sacreligious way"

[dean_dem]

77. "Shakin' my legs so my stomach won't hurt..."

"I'm kinda like Jesus, but not in a sacri-ligious way."\\

EDIT: Damn, someone beat me to it.

[CaptainCorc]

80. Now THAT's funny

Nearly every episode of the Simpson's has something to love that really cracks you up. Last night i watched the one where Bush I moves across the street, spanks Bart, brawls with Homer and then moves out in disgust to be replaced by Jerry Ford who finds an immediate rapport with Homer. He invites Homer over for football and nachos and they simultaneously trip on the sidewalk, fall flat on their faces and yelp D'OH.

Another favorite of mine is the "Cape Fear" ripoff where Sideshow Bob is stalking Bart. He corners Bart on the houseboat and Bart stalls him by requesting that he perform the entire score of HMS Pinafore. God i loved that.

Great show.

[Phillycat]

25. Cape Fear.

"It's German, for The Bart, The!"

[bigwillq]

27. That was a great one too!

Any time Sideshow Bob is in it, it rocks.

[Arkana]

56. "Hello.......Bart......"

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! Sideshow Bob!"

"Oh, we've been through so much together...please, just call me Bob."

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" Bob!"

[KDLarsen]

84. Actually "Cape Feare"

"No one who speaks German could be an evil man"

[Earth_First]

29. "I Love Lisa" episode is PRICELESS!

"I Choo-choo Choose You"

[mac56]

30. "Homer The Heretic"

My all-time favorite. It didn't get any better than that.

[Zuni]

46. is that the one with the 'patented moon waffles?'

where he fills a waffle with butter and liquid smoke? That is so funny

[lurkerguy]

33. Homer kills Flanders

The Halloween episode where everyone becomes a zombie.

Paraphrasing

Homer pointing a shotgun at Flanders: “Die scum!” (boom)

Bart: “Dad, you just killed zombie Flanders!”

Homer: “Flanders was a zombie?”

[Huckebein the Raven]

34. The Hank Scorpio episode

"You only move twice"

and also any episode with Sideshow Bob


also any episode they make fun of FOX.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

37. Its in the Hammock District

[Huckebein the Raven]

41. Awwww the Denver Broncos !

and I love this part:


Hank: Good afternoon, gentlemen. This is Scorpio. I have the Doomsday
Device. You have 72 hours to deliver the gold or you'll face the
consequences. And to prove I'm not bluffing, watch this.



Man 1: Oh, my God, the 59th Street bridge!
Man 2: Maybe it just collapsed on its own.
Man 1: We can't take that chance.
Man 2: You always say that. I want to take a chance.

[Surf Cowboy]

51. Yeah, and the best thing about Maryanne's Hammocks, is...

she'll crawl into the hammock with you!!

[ProfessorGAC]

38. That Was The First One I Thought Of Too

There are so many i think are brilliant, but that one popped into my head right away.
The Professor

[ProdigalJunkMail]

53. by far it was also my favorite

Homer, if it's no problem, would you mind killing a few people on the way out? It'd be a big help..."

theProdigal

[Reverend_Smitty]

35. The one where Homer goes on workers comp for being too fat

Him in that mumu just cracks me up. I actually have that Simpson's figurine sitting here on my desk

Dr. Nick: Now there are many options available for dangerously
underweighted individuals like yourself. I recommend slow
steady gorging process combined with assal horizontology.

Homer: "To Start Press Any Key". Where's the ANY key?I see Esk <"ESC">, Catarl <"CTRL">, and Pig-Up <"PGUP">. There doesn't seem to be any ANY key. Woo! All this computer hacking
is making me thirsty. I think I'll order a TAB. ...no time for that now, the computer's starting.

Ohhhh or the one where Homer changes his name to Max Power

Max Power, he's the man who's name you'd love to touch! But you mustn't touch! His name sounds good in your ear, but when you say it, you mustn't fear! 'Cause his name can be said by anyone!

[Commendatori]

36. Law & Order: Elevator Inspectors' Unit

That one had Maggie as a mean drunk, as well :)

[dr.strangelove]

39. Are you shitting me, thats like - What was the best thing Bill Clinton did

There are two many to list.

[Kingofalldems]

40. Mr. Plow

Call Mr. Plow, that's my name--that name again is Mr. Plow

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

43. PLOW KING!!!

[MostlyLurks]

42. Kodos And Kang

The Halloween ep where K & K take the place of Clinton and Dole.

Bob Dole: What is this, some kind of tube?

Wirh I had the "Twirling, twirling toward freedom" speech memorized.

Also, the one where they take over an unarmed Earth.

Kodos (or Kang): Kneel before my slingshot, puny human!...Run away! He's got a board with a nail in it!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

59. The Politics of Failure have Failed! We must make them work a-gain!

"How come we have to build a giant ray gun to point at a planet I've never even HEARD of?" (Marge, in shackles, enslaved)

"Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos!" (Homer)

[peekaloo]

44. 'Sideshow Bob Roberts' or 'Lisa the Simpson'

The latter was where Lisa discovered the Simpson women turned out successful in their chosen fields while the men were losers relegated to challenging each other to head butting contests (while wearing pots on their heads).

'SBR' is an all time classic!

[Elginoid]

45. Homer smokes pot...especially when Flanders comes to the door-

classic.

[Zuni]

47. Remember when you thought the phone rang but you had just dropped your key

classic

[Arkana]

55. "We have a kitchen?!"

[ArtVandaley]

73. Haha, that's a great one

"It's legal Marge! I could walk up to the President of the United States and blow smoke right in his fat face, and he'd just have to sit there groovin on!"

"Start inhalin Whalin!"

[Anaxamander]

48. Last Exit to Springfield

The one where the plant goes on strike for the dental plan. Who can forget Burns' turn as the Grinch when the protest continues after he cuts the power:

Burns:
Look at them all,
through the darkness I'm bringing,
they're not sad at all,
they're actually singing!
They sing without juicers.
They sing without blenders.
They sing without flunjers, capdabblers and smendlers!

[Arkana]

49. The one where Lisa goes Buddhist

Homer and Bart blow up the church with a model rocket.

Marge: This is the worst thing you've ever done!

Homer: You say that so often it's lost all meaning.

[skygazer]

52. Not sure on best episode but my favorite moment

was when the family found Duffman at the Springfield Men's Mission and the sign over the door said, "We add God to your misery".

I thought that was the funniest (and truest) thing I'd ever seen. I laughed till I cried.

[gollygee]

54. I liked when he tripped out on the chili

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

60. Fantasy episode of Lisa becoming President. Bart appointed as

Secretary of Keeping it Real.

The one with Lisa's wedding to the British Hugh Grant type guy was awesome too.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

61. About half to 2/3 of the "Treehouse of Horror" episodes qualify.

My personal fave is the one with "Time and Punishment" where Homer's toaster is a time machine. "Luxury sedan, family well dressed, sisters in law dead..." I think this episode also had the Lisa science fair project where a tiny society was created from the mold on her tooth, and possibly the "Citizen Kang" one also. "Stop! We have reached the limits of what rectal probing can teach us!"

"I don't want to spend the rest of my term naked, in a tube!"

[pagerbear]

62. 15 Short Films About Springfield

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

68. That one was fantastic!

:thumbsup:

[DS1]

63. Treehouse of Horror - Springfield gets nuked by the French

[Marnieworld]

64. Chili cook-off!

Period

[UpsideDownFlag]

65. personal favorite is "maude dies". nt

[Dukkha]

66. Duff Gardens

Where Lisa drinks the ride water and starts tripping

Duff Beer for me
Duff Beer for you
I'll have a Duff
You'll have one too

"I can see the music"

[ScreamingMeemie]

67. The meteorite episode where the whole town is in the bomb shelter.

When the crisis passes, and all are saved, Marge's sisters say,"It really makes you appreciate life." and then they take hits on their cigs and blow smoke rings. :hi:

[tigereye]

70. the chile acid trip

where Homer is guided by the dog spirit with the voice of Johnny Cash.

Although the one where Apu gets married and all hell breaks loose with GAnesh is pretty funny too.

[ArtVandaley]

71. Homer as the powerplant's union leader

Dental plan!
Lisa needs braces.

[GiovanniC]

72. The JEEBUS One, Hands Down

[Lautremont]

74. Almost anything written by John Swarzwelder (sp?)

His have the strangest little digressions and plot points, and he seems particularly interested in Mr. Burns and the history of cartoons. So we get gems like the all-star baseball episode and the one with Kirk Douglas as the guy who invented Itchy and Scratchy.

[No2W2004]

75. My lucky T shirt!

Bart Mangled banner

TONS of jokes all the way through

Head Butt with Nash Castor
The Government Knows Best Act
"Elmo go to wrong fund raiser"
Pres. Clinton stuffing cigarettes in his mouth

Way too many to post

[HEyHEY]

76. You're trying to divide Du!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

79. Between those who love the Simpsons and those who love the Simpsons?

:shrug:

[dean_dem]

78. I think mine has to be when Kang and Kodos.....

..took over the bodies of Clinton and Dole.

"Mr. President, people are beginning to whisper about the fact that, well, you and your opponent are constantly seen holding hands."

"We are merely exchanging complex protein strands. If you can think of a better way, I'd like to hear it."

Actually, I vote for almost any episode with Kang and Kodos.

[mvd]

81. Doh!

Too many to choose from. Favorite recent one was the one making fun of Faux News.

[Behind the Aegis]

82. too many!!!

My all time favorite site is when Homer is thinking about his "evil side" and it is him in a devil suit with maracas dancing on his own grave singing..."I am evil Homer! I am evil Homer!" I will actually go around the house sing that. :)

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

85. Homer Vs the City of New York

Not aired anymore, or aired heavily edited, because it features the WTC. But it was so funny.

Hungry Homer waiting by his booted car:

Vendor: We've got Mountain Dew and Crab Juice.
Homer: Blech ewww, jeez! I'll take the crab juice.

And leaving NYC in his totally wrecked car, after the rest of the family has had a great time:

Lisa: Can we come back next year dad?
Homer, teeth gritted in repressed rage: We'll see honey...*bag of medical waste hits him in the face*...We'll see.
