The Simpsons: The Ultimate Decision

[on:]

Just curious... whats your favourite episode of the Simpsons? I get asked a lot by sorta-fans that I know... and I can't really answer. There's so many good ones. I'd have to say Marge in Chains or Wacking Day (oddly enough, those two episodes were made one after another) are topping the list. What about you? (Points at screen)

[Reply #1 on:]

All-time favourite:

Homer's Phobia.

[Reply #2 on:]

Mr Burn's Teddy Bear episode.
TOH 5 (The one with the shining parody)
Actually pretty much all the episodes between season 3 and around 9 or 10.

[Reply #3 on:]

The one with the plant strike.

[Reply #4 on:]

Cape Feare.  The first true classic.

Hello Mr. Thompson . . .

I like the one with the Burlesque house, mainly because of the song... and the one with Shary Bobbins, and, of course the one where they sing so much, from all the singing episodes.

[Reply #12 on:]

I loved "dumbell idemnity" were Moe tries to get insurance from his car.

"Must...kill...Moe.....WEEEEEE E"

I'm too lazy to find a list of all the episodes I've seen, of the ones mentioned here that one is my favourite too.

[Reply #14 on:]

Bart Get's An Elephant is one of my favourite.

"Here's the keys."
"Elephants don't have keys!"

[Reply #15 on:]

Ooh, it's so hard to choose a best.

"One Fish, Two Fish, Blow Fish, Blue Fish"
"Homer's Oddyssy"

The two which show Homer's sensitive side. And for pure humour the one where Lisa has a crush on Nelson Muntz.

[Reply #16 on:]

There are so many I like:
Lisa's Wedding
Homer's Phobia
Treehouse of Horror 5 ("Heeeeeeeeere's JOHNNY!!" )
Treehouse of Horror 6 (With Homer going 3D)
Mayored to the Mob
Das Bus
Simpson and Delilah
Last Exit to Springfield
Homer Goes to College

The list goes on and on!

[Reply #17 on:]

Yeah Simpson and Delilah is a great episode 

[Reply #18 on:]

These three episodes kick ass.
You Only Move Twice
Behind the Laughter
Homer's Enemy

[Reply #19 on:]

Cape Feare.

In fact, by definition, any Sideshow Bob episode rocks.

[Reply #20 on:]

i like simpsons, but not enought to know any episode names.

[Reply #21 on:]

I liked Homer at the Bat.

[Reply #22 on:]

My favourites are all the Treehouse Of Horror ones.

I agree.  I think "Lisa's Substitute" (yeah, it was sappy as hell, but it was the good sappy), "Last Exit to Springfield" ('It was him.  Let's get him, fellas!'), and "Fear of Flying" ('Oh my god, this man is my exact double.  That dog has a puffy tail!') are among the greatest episodes.  Honorable mentions go to "Colonel Homer", "$pringfield", "Bart vs Australia", "Who Shot Mr. Burns?", and "You Only Move Twice".

Also, I don't know if it's fair to compare regular episodes with Halloween episodes.  I think a new question should be posed, "Which Halloween episode is the best?"

[Reply #24 on:]

Halloween III!!!

I liked Bart the General,A Street Car Named Marge and Whacking Day.

[Reply #25 on:]

Flamin' Moe's is my all time favorite (although I haven't seen it in years),

[Reply #26 on:]

You Only Move Twice
Brother From Another Series
Homer the Great
$pringfield ("Remember when I let that escaped looney into the house because he was dressed like Santa? Well YOU have a gambling problem!" )
Homer's Enemy
Sideshow Bob episodes.

A little cut-and-paste job from an ancient thread:

Season 1: Krusty Gets Busted

Season 4: Marge vs The Monorail

Season 6: tie between Homer the Great / Sideshow Bob Roberts
Season 7: Tie again: Sideshow Bob's last gleaming / Two Bad Neighbours
Season 8: Homer vs The Eighteenth Amendment
Season 9: Simpson Tide
Season 10: Mayored to the Mob

What can I say? I just love Sideshow Bob. Every episode he's in is an instant classic. Plus Kelsey Grammer has a heck of a voice to throw into that character.

Honorable mentions:
Lard of the Dance
Trash of the Titans
Homers Enemy
Brother from Another Series
You Only Move Twice
Homie the Clown
Deep Space Homer
Homer Goes to Collage
Das Bus

Treehouse of Horror 12 - I like the first 2 stories, not the WizKids one 

[Reply #32 on:]

The mysterious voyage of Homer
Homer's phobia

[Reply #33 on:]

Lot of fans of Homophobia in here there is... 

[Reply #34 on:]

Homer Goes to College
Itchy and Scratchy Land
Deep Space Homer
The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson

[Reply #35 on:]

When bart brakes his leg jumping into his pool..

heheheheh

[Reply #36 on:]

I love The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson. It got to be the funniest episode ever.

I also like Lisa's crush - I have seen that for a long time.
And Lisa's wedding.

[Reply #37 on:]

The City Of New York vs Homer Simpson and Lisa's Wedding are good contenders but neither match up to the quality that is Homer's Triple Bypass!

[Reply #38 on:]

I'm starting to like City of New York more since no-one will show it on TV any more. The khavkalash joke was just too funny.

[Reply #39 on:]

From a story/character point of view, Lisa's Wedding takes the cake (a sort of Simpson The Luck of the Fryish).

However, for pure laughs and fun, it has to be You Only Move Twice. That scene with Mr Bont just cracks me up every time.
