At Long Last Leave! - The Simpsons

Simpson Tide or Holidays of Future Passed?

If you're asking which one is better, then definitely "Holidays".

[Reply #601 on:]

I've never seen "Holidays", but it's not as good as Simpson Tide.

[Reply #602 on:]

If you've never seen it, then how do you know it's not better than Simpson Tide?

[Reply #603 on:]

Simpson Tide is actually one of my favourite episodes of all time... To each their own I guess.

[Reply #604 on:]

Nothing is better than Simpson Tide.

Oh, you know what? Let's just make this a Simpson Tide Quote Thread.

"Hmm, yes, he's handsome in an ugly sort of way."

Trash of the Titans > Simpsons Tide

[Reply #607 on:]

Trash of the Titans is horrible. I bet you were whooping it up when Homer kicked away that bald lady and called her "Kojak".

[Reply #608 on:]

Did Simpson Tide not have enough Jerkass Homer for you?

[Reply #609 on:]

"Hey mommy, where's my Jerkass Homer!"

Jesus fucking Christ, Stum, USE THE EDIT BUTTON!!!

I know that it's only your opinion, but I honestly don't know how you think Simpson Tide is the best Simpsons episode. Obviously you haven't seen too many classic era episodes.

[Reply #611 on:]

I was exaggerating, but I still adore Simpson Tide.

[Reply #612 on:]

Honestly, I'm starting to think Al Jean and Mike Reiss are largely responsible for the decline of the show. I think that they always wanted to create a ridiculously stupid cartoon

They might be partly responsible, but there is other reasons like Groening's attention to Futurama and change over time to attract new viewers that can be responsible by itself. Also, change in writers was one factor. Still, you might be right, at least it adds up.

What about Bart Star?

Say, you know what's a really horrible episode? Brake My Wife, Please.

[Reply #614 on:]

What about Bart Star, Stum? Do you have anything to say about it, or are you just trying to increase your post count?

[Reply #615 on:]

Do you like it?

[Reply #616 on:]

Haven't you taken the language of Stum class at Peeliversity, LMP?  

[Reply #617 on:]

It was either that or the Logic of KurtPikachu class, and I chose the latter.

[Reply #618 on:]

Brake My Wife, Please is a Season 14 episode. It was so bad it gave me cancer. It's the one where Homer thinks Marge hates him.

The plot is insanely convoluted; it takes more than half the episode to even get to that point. There was no need to have the first act take place at an aquarium, either. Bart could have easily got injured at home.

Its Wikipedia plot description includes the phrase "She orders them to burn their feces." That should say enough, don't you think?

[Reply #619 on:]

I find it interesting that season 17 is where some of you draw the line.
I remember seeing the season 18 premiere and thinking that there was no reason whatsoever for Metallica* to appear, though it wasn't as bad as the Gaga episode which centered around its guest star.

*I AM a Metallica AND Otto fan. I'm also a fan of Jack Black but not Husbands and Knives

Um...okay?

[Reply #623 on:]

That's the song Jack Black sings in Husbands and Knives.

No...just...no.

Whoa oh oh oh!

This guy has spammed more in two weeks than KurtPikachu has in ten years.

[Reply #627 on:]

Okay, but would you please stop calling me a n00b or spammer? I'm a troll.

N00B! SPAMMER! N00B! SPAMMER! N00B! SPAMMER! N00B! SPAMMER!

Anyway, back on topic, I have a question for everyone: Out of all the Simpsons episodes you've seen, which is your favorite? least favorite?

[Reply #629 on:]

Bart Star, Brake My Wife Please

You?

[Reply #630 on:]

Favourite: Homer's Enemy
Least Favourite: The Frying Game

[Reply #631 on:]

Dat screamapillar!

[Reply #632 on:]

Favourite: Lemon of Troy
Least: All's Fair in Oven War

[Reply #633 on:]

Favourite: Homer's Enemy
Least Favourite: That Jerusalem one

[Reply #634 on:]

There's way too many episodes for me to choose a definite favorite, let alone a least favorite.

I will say, though, off the top of my head, that 'Behind the Laughter' and 'Cape Feare' are some my favorites. As for least, like I said, there's to many terrible ones for me to just choose one.

[Reply #635 on:]

Because I can't choose, I'll list my top 3 for each.

Favorite: Homer's Barbershop Quartet, Bart Gets an F, and Lisa's First Word.

Least Favorite: Lisa Goes Gaga, Politically Inept With Homer Simpson, and Bart Mangled Banner.

[Reply #636 on:]

Top 10:
1. "You Only Move Twice"
2. "Who Shot Mr. Burns?: Part 1"
3. "Who Shot Mr. Burns?: Part 2"
4. "Lemon of Troy"
5. "Treehouse of Horror IV"
6. "Cape Feare"
7. "Marge vs. the Monorail"
8. "Bart on the Road"
9. "Homer the Great"
10. "Brother from Another Series"


Bottom 10:
10. "Whiskey Business"
9. "The Fabulous Faker Boy"
8. "Funeral for a Fiend"
7. "You Kent Always Say What You Want"
6. "Lisa Goes Gaga"
5. "The Ned-liest Catch"
4. "Dude, Where's My Ranch?"
3. "Treehouse of Horror XIX"
2. "The Italian Bob"
1. "E Pluribus Wiggum"

I find it interesting that season 17 is where some of you draw the line.

Whilst I said that the worst episodes come from 17, afterwards, I draw the line very firmly between seasons 12 and 13.

13-16 are awful, but 17 onwards is where they started producing the occasional episode that I'd rate lower than 3/10.

[Reply #637 on:]

I don't despite all wacky Simpsons episodes by the way. Some of my favourite wacky episodes come from Season 10 actually, like Homer to the Max, Viva Ned Flanders, Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo, Wild Barts Can't Be Broken, Sunday, Cruddy Sunday and Maximum Homerdrive. I think I might even rate it better than Season 9. After watching all of Season 11, Season 10 is definitely the last genuinely good season of The Simpsons for me. Weirdly enough though, quite possibly my favourite episode in Season 11 is Bart to the Future, and pretty much everyone hates that episode. Maybe my tastes in good episodes are just weird.

[Reply #638 on:]

Oh yeah that one with Lady Gaga was terrible!

[Reply #639 on:]

Oh yeah that one with Lady Gaga was terrible!

Haha! I have so many episodes to catch up on, but I heard that one was godawful.
