Keeping to the request for ONE episode (not a laundry list)

Last Exit to Springfield


This is the correct answer.

Might be a bit biased since baseball playoffs are starting, but it's hard to argue with "Homer at the Bat".


This is in the running for my #2 spot.

All this stuff came from Last Exit to Springfield...

The McBain action movie opening
Homer's Godfather II parody scene
Lisa at the dentist (Joker scene from Batman)
Yellow Submarine / Lisa in the Sky scene
Abe's onion on his belt story
"Where's my burrito?!"
Homer punching Lenny in the back of the head
DENTAL PLAN! (Lisa needs braces)
Homer running in circles on the floor
Homer's "I don't go in for those backdoor shenanigans"
Burns and Smithers going through the plant (Batman series parody)
Lisa's union song
Burns Grinch parody

And a bunch of others I'm forgetting. All in ONE episode.

I've seen it more times than I can count and it never gets old. It's crazy how pretty much every scene from this episode is a pop culture Simpsons moment.

So many great episodes mentioned already and since I already did mine won't suggest others but thought of more! It's amazing how great this show was in its prime!

I do however have a favorite line that doesn't get quoted often but can't remember exactly which episode it's from….think it's from Homer vs New York….but it's when Homer says this:

"Public transportation is for jerks and lesbians."

I'd love to quote that as often as I do other lines….but…..yeah might get me in trouble at work….

Bart, I don't want to alarm you, but there may be a boogeyman or boogeymen in the house!

Oh nothing Marge, just a little incident involving the boogeyman!

Of course none of this would have happened if you would have been here to keep me from acting stupid!

You Only Move Twice might be my favorite (or top 3). Lisa's Birthday may be the best.

Kamp Krusty. This one aired when I was at A&M. My roommates died when the mail is finally being delivered and the one kid yells "my insulin!". As a diabetic, that's how I became a Simpsons character...at least in their minds.

My vote is for Radioactive Man!



On the DVD commentary track, when they get to THE line, "My eyes... the goggles do nothing!" they all completely lose their s**t. It's outstanding!

Lisa played "classical gas" as well in that episode.

Did not even know what that was back in the day and I like acoustic guitar now so added intrigue.

My wife always tells our kids, "Up and at'em!" I correct her and say, "Up and ATOM!" She doesn't get it.

I have two sentimental favorites as the dad of a girl.

"And Maggie Makes Three" which is the one you're talking about. The other is "HOMR" where they discover Homer has had a crayon lodged in his brain since childhood and they remove it. Then he becomes smart and bonds with Lisa as a fellow intellectual. That one also has maybe my favorite Homer quote: "Hey Flanders, I was working on a formula for cold fusion and accidently proved God doesn't exist."

I have tons of episodes that I love for comedy but those two hit different as a dad.

How about the trillion dollar note?
Or the one where Homer saves the nuclear power plant?
Or Kamp Krusty?

Most of my choices been mentioned.

Homer's Phobia has always been a favorite of mine... "Hot stuff, comin' through!"



Is that the one where he goes to a lesbian bar and freaks out because there's not enough fire exits?

The Tomacco episode comes to mind. I also have a soft spot for the episode where Barney gets drunk and drives Homer's car to New York and gets it booted. The reason being, I tried downloading this episode several times over Limewire back in the day and it kept partially downloading. I watched the first 10-15 minutes over and over because that is as far as the download would go until I eventually managed to get the whole episode. I can still remember the distorted sound the file made when there was a sound effect of the car peeling out.

Duffless is probably in top 10 for me. So many great episodes in first 12 or so seasons.

Smithers: "The shampoo specifically said, "no more tears."
Mr. Burns: "A lovely promise but one beyond the powers of a mere shampoo."

And of course,

Plant PA Announcement: "We regret to announce the following layoffs, which I will read in alphabetical order. Simpson, Homer. That is all."

This thread has convinced me to do a re-watch of old Simpsons. I thought it was all on D+ but all I'm seeing is seasons 35 & 36 showing...am I missing something?

Edit: Apparently there are two separate selections called "The Simpsons" on D+. Only one was showing up for me at first and that one is just 4 episodes of season 35 and 1 of season 36. I'm guessing this is a limited version available through my Hulu sub? Other one finally showed up after restarting the app and searching again.

There should be two sections. One should be S1-11, called "The Simpsons".

Everything S12 and later in another called "Zombie Simpsons".
