This isn't America's Funniest Home Videos, LOTC!




It's Up Late with McBain, and that post makes you look like a homosexual!

It's not the show it used to be, but I still watch the new ones. Every now and then they'll knock one out of the park, but it's not a sure thing like it used to be. These days you're pretty much getting a couple good laughs an episode

Okay, I've come up with a novel, unique idea where-in we choose our favourite Simpsons episodes an... okay, fuck it, it's the least unique idea anyone's ever had. But we haven't done it at The Real TSM yet so let's get it out of the way. Once we've had a few replies I'll come up with something a bit more negative to even it out.

Favourite Simpsons Episode:

Favourite Episode as of 10 years ago: As in, what was your favourite episode when you were tennish years younger, assuming it's changed.

Favourite Episode Season 12-onwards:

Favourite Guilty Pleasure Episode:

Favourite Halloween/Three Part Episode Story:

Thank you sir, I've been trying to find this quote the last week.

Favourite Simpsons Episode: Rosebud. I don't know why, but the part with Smithers and Burns' sitcom cracks me up every single time.

Favourite Episode as of 10 years ago: A Star Is Burns. This was before I'd ever heard of The Critic, or Charles Bronson and I don't even know why the Death Wish 9 part made us all laugh as kids, but it did. That and it had football in the groin.

Favourite Episode Season 12-onwards: A Tale Of Two Springfields. Even the stupid badger gag, "what am I, a tailor?"

Favourite Guilty Pleasure Episode: Saddlesore Galactica. The evil jockeys stuff was stupid, granted, but even with that I like it.

Favourite Halloween/Three Part Episode Story: The Thing And I, Treehouse Of Horror VII

Favourite Simpsons Episode: Homie The Clown with The City of New York Vs Homer Simpson being a close second. Weirdly enough, I thook those in reverse order for my first two picks in The Simpsons Episode Draft at TOTSM.

Favourite Episode as of 10 years ago: Homer's Phobia. Was a favorite of The Kamala family. We were doubled over for a good five minutes during the gay steel mill scene. I'd still put it in my Top Five.

Favourite Episode Season 12-onwards: Oh boy, Season 12 is when I stopped being a devoted fan. Although I still watched fairly regularly for a few more years and the episodes I've seen since The Simpsons Movie are the best in years IMHO though obviously nowhere near the Seasons 3 through 8 (arguably 9) glory. I'm going to go with "New Kids on The Blech", which I always thought had a few really good gags.

Favourite Guilty Pleasure Episode: "E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt)" I think that counts. Again, I'd probably consider this a Top Five Favorite ten years ago and I still enjoy it now. I was surprised find that most people on the 'net really don't like this one.


Favourite Halloween/Three Part Episode Story: "Dial Z For Zombies", Treehouse of Horror III

Smithers: Home already?
Burns: Yes.

It's the "Uh-oh, look out Smithers!" *vase breaks* that seems to get me.

I have too many favorites, and none of them are particularly unique. Burns's Heir is fantastic, though, as is Rosebud. Great call on that one. As for 21st century episodes, I'll have to look at the lists. Oh, it's obviously the Run Lola Run episode. Yeah, looking at this, they could've ended the show after 14 or 15 with no ill effects.

After years of tolerating his antics, Lisa files a restraining order against Bart, forcing him to live in the backyard. Meanwhile, Homer becomes a greeter for a WalMart-esque department store called "Sprawl-Mart".

In an unexpected turn of events, Grampa and Selma fall in love and get married, prompting Homer and Patty plot to break up their love connection. Meanwhile, Bart and Lisa con a delivery man into giving them the most sought-after commodity in the neighborhood - cardboard boxes - so they can build a fort.

After discovering Marge's diploma, Homer recounts the story of how he gave up his dreams of being a musician so Marge could attend Springfield University. However, after she became attracted to one of her professors Homer started focusing his emotions into music and formed the first grunge band called Sadgasm. But after Homer's band breaks up, Marge must decide between a glum and miserable Homer and or her pretentious professor.

What a bunch of crap.

Fun Fact: I have watched "I Love Lisa" on every single Valentine's Day since 1996.

I actually made life long friends with someone on a dreary Monday morning in the cafeteria at SFSU by quoting this line back at them. Oddly it seemed to completely infuriate my buddy that was with me that hadn't watched Simpsons the night before.

I think he even quoted Moe, "Ack, argh, chokin' on my own rage here..."

The musical parts with Homer playing/singing perfect reverse Nirvana music is extremely well done, technically, I can't argue comedy taste though.
I really liked his G.R.U.N.G.E. acronym! Guitar Rock Utilizing Nihilist Grunge Energy is right up my alley.

We have a winner.

No no no, it's "Well Hot Dog, we have a WEINER"
