You should watch it just to listen the director's commentary, it will give you an idea of how much disdain the writer's have for the "Internet Fans".
I'm guessing you are referring to Principal and the Pauper

I really think there's a lot of great stuff in that episode.
Lovejoy: This so called new religion is nothing but a pack of weird rituals and chants, designed to take away the money of fools. Now let's say the Lord's Prayer 40 times, but first, let's pass the collection plate
Burns: You see me as a God, right, Smithers?
Smithers: Absolutely, sir!
Burns: You'd kneel before me?
Smithers: Boy, would I!
And somehow the last part of this exchange this has ended up as one of the most quoted Simpson's lines for me...
Marge: Homer come back! That's my husband!
Movementarian: He's our husband now.

I miss the days that The Principal and the Pauper was unanimously known as the worst episode the series had produced.

"Nice to meet you Marge, I saw your hair from the plane. And you must be the one who thought he had a pimple or a boil."
"It was a gummi bear."

Another double joke that flew by my head when I was young.

Azaria's performance of the dentist in "Last Exit to Springfield" was perfect.
"How often do you brush Ralph?"
"Three times a day sir."
"Why must you turn my office into a house of LIES?"
"Maggies teeth have been coming in crooked. Has she been sucking on a pacifier?"
"Uhh, not to my knowledge."
"LIAR!"
"Nice to meet you Marge, I saw your hair from the plane. And you must be the one who thought he had a pimple or a boil."
"It was a gummi bear."
This line kills me every time. :lol

I get why people hate that episode, but I still thought it was great.

It's the first true character destroying episode. There were weak ones but that was the beginning of the end. All the other shit like changing Homer to a 90's teen and shit is so far into the crap you can't even care.
I sort of took it as a Twilight Zone type of episode at the time, especially given that they reset everything at the end. But I can see why people didn't like it.

Homer: Hmm...Barney's movie had heart, but "Football in the Groin" had a football in the groin.
Barney: [on the screen] Don't cry for me, I'm already dead.
Homer: Wow. I'll never drink another beer.
Man: Beer here!
Homer: I'll take ten.
This part on the latin spanish dub is -so- good.

They show the Simpsons in a million different countries, but there are some episodes where they make fun of, or even insult, a country. Like the Australia episode. Or even the episode where Germans buy the nuclear plant. Do they show these episodes in those countries, or do they just cut them? Maybe they change a few potentially offensive lines in the translation, but show the rest of the episode.

I doubt any of those countries cut the episodes altogether - in the UK they leave the British aimed jibes intact, although they cut Mr. Burns calling U2 "wankers", as it's more offensive over here. Every other cut is mostly due to differing sensibilities and the times which episodes are shown over here.
As Simpsons is mostly shown during the day or early evening, there's a few silly cuts to episodes when they air on Sky or Channel 4 - this bit from Mr. Plot for instance;
Homer's Brain: Don't tell him you were at a bar... But what else is open at night?
Homer: It's a pornography store. I was buying pornography.
Homer's Brain: Heh heh heh. I would'a never thought of that.
Or any instance of 'bastard' or 'bitch', or random bloody violence (McBain clips, etc) in daytime airings.
I'm Australian and the Australia episode is amazing. Pretty sure absolutely nothing was cut.
It's just a little kick in the bum.

Yeah, I guess people can take a joke. I've seen British shows where they make fun of America and it never bothered me.
Fun fact: Groening was apparently pretty pissed that the wound up doing that episode because he didn't like the idea of cross-promotion in his show (or something like that). So during the introduction where it mentions the Simon/Brooks/Groening names, Groening's is absent.
"Nice to meet you Marge, I saw your hair from the plane. And you must be the one who thought he had a pimple or a boil."

The delivery made me laugh so much.
Yes! I love the nerd sounds they make.
I love it when they make fun of us Brits.
The book of British smiles, for example
Haha, yes!
All those random jokes in the old seasons that don't feel out of place. I love it.
Hutz: Well, you good folks can rest easy now because you've come to the very best in legal representation.
Skinner: Uh, excuse me, is there an Orange Julius stand on this floor?
Hutz: I'll sell you this one; it's almost full.
Skinner: Well, why don't I drink out of a toilet bowl.
Hutz: He'll be back.
Freshen ya drink guvna?
Agree completely, the way he says it kills me every single time

That is my favorite episode of all time.
"ice to see you"
"Check his pockets! Atoms, 1 2 3 4 5 6 of them!"
"The best of times, the BLURST of times!?"
"Five bees for a quarter they'd say!"

Kent Brockman: Another local peasant has been found dead, drained of his blood with two teeth marks on his throat. This black cape was found on the scene.
[the cape says "DRACULA."]
Kent Brockman: Police are baffled.

Yeah, it's from the new episodes, I just grabbed screenshot since it's nice contrast to British smiles. IIRC it's from S18 the episode where Marge becomes a carpenter... Doesn't really matter since the episode was awful, tho it had couple of good quotes.
Homer: Sweetie, you dont understand. If I can do this myself, then all those lies I told will be true. Dont you want daddys lies to be true?
Lisa: I'd like a daddy who lived in the real world!
Homer: To daddy, the real world gets fainter and fainter every day.
