Great episode but Last Exit To Springfield is best.

I mean that single episode had Don Homer.

Then I put a onion on my belt, Which was the style at the time.....

The big book of British smiles.

"It was the best of times, It was the blurst of times"

The first thing Im gonna do tomorrow is punch lenny in the back of the head... (immediately cuts to lenny getting punched in the back of the head)

Lisa needs braces.

And a bunch more moments.

That era of Simpsons had many classics though so I guess its ok to fight about it.

Bart vs. Australia is easily my favorite. Especially the first 5 minutes or so. There's literally something truly funny that happens every fifteen seconds or less.

Just thinking about that guy floating on top of his house in a lava disaster makes me giggle like an idiot. Same with the conversation between the Australian dad and Bart/Bart's receptions/Burt Stanton.

"Hello Ma'am."

"I uh HEY!"

Grimes: I have had to work hard everyday of my life and what do I have to show for it? This briefcase and this haircut! And what do you have to show for you lifetime of sloth and ignorance?

Homer: What?

Grimes: Everything! A dream house, two cars, a beautiful wife, a son who owns a factory, fancy clothes, and (sniffs) lobsters for dinner!

Ha ha!

Grimes: You? Went into outer space? You?

Homer: Suure.... You've never been?

"You Only Move Twice" is my favourite, just has me constantly laughing. "A Streetcar Named Marge" is a pretty awesome episode too though, those first 10 seasons and just all brilliant

Messypandas · Aug 12, 2012

shame we haven't had new episodes in about 12 years

blamite · Aug 12, 2012

Only ~~two~~ three mentions of You Only Move Twice? GAF I am disappoint.

Souldriver · Aug 12, 2012

Best? Dunno.

But as the Simpsons often have done, it made me aware of A Streetcar Named Desire. Watching the Simpsons is the best way to learn about classics in movies, television and songs. Fact.

Yep, Homer's Enemy is my favorite too.

I absolutely love Kent Brockman describing how Grimes learned to "feel pain again" during his recovery.

That some people think season 8 isn't part of "classic Simpsons" is a flabbergasting.

I'm a sucker for Homer vs. The Eighteenth Amendment. We still use "going out, not back avenge death" all the time at my apartment.

It was my next entry I thought hard about including. It's definitely great, high up there. Not sure if it's one my absolute favorites or if I just go done watch it a week ago though.

At some point I'll probably go into my unabashed love of Season 2 as well. Before they hit their comedy stride (still great stuff), when the stories were sappy but very good drama, and they were creating classic characters as they went. It also holds a nostalgia with me, that by season 3 has simmered quite a bit. Season 1 is almost all nostalgia, though Roasting on an Open Fire, Moaning Lisa, and Life on the Fast Lane are still quite good. Season 2 comparatively though is very watchable and great.

So many great episodes, hard to pick a favorite. Here's some I really liked of the top of my head

You Only Move Twice
Marge vs. The Monorail
Homer the Great
Bart's Comet

These and "Bart Sells His Soul" are some of my faves, though I have a ton of favorite Simpsons episodes. lol

shira · Aug 12, 2012

cmon the halloween specials are the best

FairyD · Aug 12, 2012

I'll say The Debarted for the recent seasons.

Homer vs the 18th amendment for all time.

SCULLIBUNDO · Aug 12, 2012

I can't believe I'm the only one to mention Secrets of a Successful Marriage. It has a golden joke every ten seconds.

It also has perhaps my favourite laugh out loud moment 'You mean I'm gonna be daddy? I hope we stay together forever...forever...forever....forever?'

rpmurphy · Aug 12, 2012

Bart on the Road is another great one.

I would have a very tough time putting together a Top 10 list, let alone single best episode. Just too many classics to even begin to choose.

Two Alfred Hitchcock references - http://youtu.be/AeUVPAyntCY

I have watched that episode countless times, and I've never noticed the "a is a" poster.
Clever.

Ayn Rand relies heavily (and if you ask me, stupidly) on the law of identity in her metaphysics.

PhoenixSFT · Aug 12, 2012

I'm so glad a ton of people picked You Only Move Twice, I really like that episode too. Also it has a great end credits theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QEsjd1WZuY

"Scorpio! His twisted twin obsessions are his plot to rule the world and his employee's health!"

J2 Cool · Aug 12, 2012

Lisa on Ice may be the funniest episode of the series. You Only Move Twice is a really good pure comedy episode too.

No.

It's that awful Mr. Burns, isn't it?

YOU LEAVE MR. BURNS OUT OF THIS!

Smithers! Smitheeers!

*Smithers walks to the window with this hilariously goofy look on his face*

Plus - as I already mentioned, the hilarious 'You mean I'm gonna be a daddy?' scene.

Buckethead · Aug 12, 2012

It's not the best episode but this episode was really touching.

nateeasy · Aug 12, 2012

Dental plan

Exterminieren · Aug 12, 2012

You Only Move Twice for the laughs, Mother Simpson for the heart, and Duffless and And Maggie Makes Three for the best synthesis of the two.

And Maggie Makes Three is probably my overall favourite.

Sculli's constant push of The Secrets of a Successful Marriage is making me laugh more than the episode :b

SCULLIBUNDO · Aug 12, 2012

Best episode for the heart is Bart vs. Thanksgiving.

The scene with Bart and Lisa on the roof.

"Homer, I think we hit something."
"I hope it's Flanders!" (Homer starts cracking up)

That will always, always be my favorite Simpsons quote. It's not witty, it's not snarky, it was just so unexpected and hilarious.

Colonel Nasty · Aug 12, 2012

I also really love Homer the Smithers too. Criminally underrated.

Best episode ever.

Mister Negative · Aug 12, 2012

You Only Move Twice is the best episode, but I almost feel that it cheated because of how brilliant Al Brooks was.

Of course, most of that can be put down to the writing, but his delivery on each and every one of his lines is magnificent.

pauljeremiah · Aug 12, 2012

marge vs the monorail is the best ever episode.

or homer versus the 18th amendment (just because i'm irish)

DrForester · Aug 12, 2012

My top 3. All from season 8 oddly enough.

"El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer (The Mysterious Voyage of Homer)"

"You Only Move Twice"

"Homer Vs The Eighteenth Amendment"

Bay Maximus · Aug 12, 2012

I can barely remember most of the episodes but the one where they go to Mexico is funny.

Also, the one where Homer acts dumb.

Kwhit10 · Aug 12, 2012

When I was a kid "Girly Edition" was my personal favorite. I haven't really watched the show in a long time though.

Last Exit to Springfield is my #1, but I am disappointed no one has mentioned Duffless

-the "when I was 17" song
-my name is otto, I like to get blotto
-the other day I was so desperate for a beer and I ate the dirt under the bleachers

etc. Also one of the more touching episodes.

Astra · Aug 12, 2012

I love the dentist in Last Exit to Springfield.

"Maggie's teeth are coming in crooked. Has she been sucking on... a pacifier?"

"Not to my knowledge"

"LIAR!"

Also love the PTA Disbands.

"Oh my God, the PTA has disbanded!"

"No no, the PTA has not disbanded!"
