The Best Simpsons Episodes Ever

Listed in: Other

So as you might have noticed, the site has been a bit devoid of content the last week or two. Ben and David are still getting settled in their new digs (no TV and no Internet make...), and I've been too depressed by the Mariners to write a much of anything. In any case, Ben and I started this post over two years ago, but with the Simpsons Movie premiering today we figured now was as a good a time as any to finish it.

In case you couldn't tell, the three of us are huge fans of the show. Hell, the name of this blog comes from the episode where the Isotopes are moving to Albuquerque. Oddly enough, Ben and I are like crotchety old sportswriters when it comes to the show, as we steadfastly insist that it was much better "back in the day." You'll see this from our list, where none of the shows were made within the last decade (longer, actually). The way we made our list was by each listing our top 25 episodes, and then assigning points (25 for #1, 1 for #25). Anyhow, without further ado:

Zach and Ben's Top 25 Simpsons Episodes of All Time

Top 25 Simpsons Episodes:

1. Cape Feare

Ben says: The best episode featuring the best guest character on the show. Great Bart, great Homer, great Bob, and yes, even great McBain.
Zach says: Top to bottom as good as the Simpsons ever was. It had some great gags (including several references to Nazi Germany), a show-stopping musical number, and even a great sports moment (John Elway’s patented fourth quarter magic). Plus, the rakes.
Best moment: FBI Agent: When I say hello Mr. Thompson and press down on your foot, you smile and nod…Hello, Mr. Thompson (pause)
Homer: I think he’s talking to you.
Best underrated moment: McBain: That’s some outfit Skowie…it makes you look like a homosexual
Crowd: Boo!
McBain: Oh ho, maybe you all are homosexuals!

2. Homer’s Triple Bypass

Ben says: This episode features two of my favorite character prominently- Mr. Burns (as you’ll see) and Dr. Nick, who ranks the best of any peripheral character. Plus Homer is fantastic, the random jokes are great. Worthy of being one of the greatest Simpsons episodes of all time.
Zach says: Any time Homer is eating in bed, you know you’re in for a good episode. Has about as many drop-dead funny lines as seasons 12-16 combined.
Best moment: Mr. Burns: Look at that pig, stuffing his face with donuts on my time. That’s right, keep eating…little do you know you’re drawing ever closer to the poison donut! There is a poison one, isn’t there Smithers?
Smithers: Err…no sir, I discussed this with our lawyers. They consider it murder.
Burns: Damn their oily hides!
Best underrated moment: Bad cops, bad cops...Bad cops, bad cops Springfield cops are on the take. But what do you expect for the money we make? Whether in a car or on a horse, we don't mind using excessive force. Bad cops, bad cops...Bad cops, bad cops.

3. Homer at the Bat

Ben says: My favorite player of all time at his absolute all time best. Come on Mr. Burns, he had 9 home runs that day! Plus, Mike Scioscia nearly dies a horrible death.
Zach says: As a sports fan, as well as a Simpsons fan, no episode better marries the two. I mean, you’ve got my favorite player suffering from gigantism AND playing pick-up baseball for Ralph Wiggum.
Best moment: (Talkin’ Softball) Well Mr. Burns had done it, the power plant had won it, with Roger Clemens clucking all the while. Mike Scioscia’s tragic illness made us smile, and Wade Boggs lay unconscious on the barroom tile. We’re talking softball, from Maine to San Diego, we’re talking softball, Mattingly and Canseco, Ken Griffey’s grotesquely swollen jaw, Steve Sax and his run-in with the law. We’re talking Homer, Ozzie and the Straw.
Best underrated moment: Umpire: Okay, let's go over the ground rules.
You can't leave first until you chug a beer.
Any man scoring has to chug a beer.
You have to chug a beer at the top of all odd-numbered innings.
Oh, and the fourth inning is the beer inning.
Chief Wiggum: Hey, we know how to play softball.

4. Marge vs. the Monorail

Ben says: Solid all-around episode, great lines from Grandpa, Burns, Quimby, and Spock. Batman is a scientist.
Zach says: The greatest opening in Simpsons history. Evil Burns, perhaps the greatest song in Simpsons history, classic Phil Hartman, and Leonard Nimoy just for kicks. I call the big one Bitey!
Best moment: No doubt, the Monorail Song: Langley: Well sir, there’s nothing on Earth like a genuine, bona fide, electrified, six-car monorail!
Best underrated moment: Burns: My name is Mr. Snrub, yes, that will do, and I come from some place very far away. I think we should that invest that money in the nuclear power plant.
Smithers: I like the way Snrub thinks!

5. Last Exit to Springfield

Ben says: Why must you turn my office into a House of Lies? Seriously, it features Burns at his best, as far as being central to the storyline. It didn’t make the moment but I loved the Grinch parody.
Zach says: This episode captures both my love of the American union man and the Grinch that stole electricity. It also features Lisa playing the guitar, a rare sight in Simpsons lore.
Best moment: Lisa needs braces/Dental plan (8x)
Best underrated moment: Burns: Find the bathroom all right?
Homer: Uh…yeah…

6. Deep Space Homer

Ben says: The real star of this episode is that incomparable inanimate carbon rod!
Zach says: I love this episode because I love science fiction, and thus loved the Planet of the Apes and Alien references…as well as the parodies of Home Improvement and Married, With Children…eh, no Peg. I’ll show you inanimate!
Best moment: Reporter: Uh, question for the barbeque chef. Don't you think there is an inherent danger in sending under-qualified civilians into space?
Homer: I'll field this one. The only danger is if they send us to that terrible Planet of the Apes. Wait a minute...Statue of Liberty...that was our planet! You maniacs! You blew it up! Damn you! Damn you all to hell!
Best underrated moment: Burns: Compadres, it is imperative that we crush the freedom fighters before the start of the rainy season. And remember, a shiny new donkey for whoever brings me the head of Colonel Montoya. Hmm? What? Oh, and by that I mean, it’s time for the Worker of the Week Award!

7. Homer vs. the Eighteenth Amendment
Ben says: Homer has never been smarter, Rex Banner was never seen again, and what happened to that narrator?
Zach says: Only the Simpsons could make jokes about Prohibition, some 70-odd years ago, seem funny and timely.
Best moment: Homer: To alcohol, the cause of, and solution to, all of Life’s problems!
Best underrated moment: Kent Brockman: Ladies and gentlemen, what you are seeing is a total disregard for the things St. Patrick's Day stand for. All this drinking, violence, destruction of property…are these the things we think of when we think of the Irish?

8. Sideshow Bob Roberts
Ben says: The Simpsons’ best political rip ever. It’s like they took everything I hated about the Republican party and condensed it into one amazingly potent half-hour. Still, I think I’d rather have Bob than Bush.
Zach says: Oh no, the dead have risen…and they’re voting Republican! I agree with Ben from a political aspect, but my favorite rip is actually when Quimby agrees to name the new expressway the “Matlock Expressway” just to ensure the old-person vote.
Best moment: Mayor “Sideshow” Bob Terwilliger: Sure, your guilty conscience may force you to vote Democratic, but deep down inside you secretly long for a cold-hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals, and rule you like a king! That’s why I did this people, to protect you from your selves.
Best underrated moment: Lisa: I don't think Bob won that election legally. I can't believe a convicted felon would get so many votes and another convicted felon would get so few.

9. Who Shot Mr. Burns – Part One

Ben says: Mr. Burns descends into cartoonish supervillainy and hilarity ensues. It also might mark the moment where the show started to show signs of decline, though it would be years before that became clear.
Zach says: Not only was it brilliantly funny, but it marked a point in the show’s history and growth when it truly took over television. All summer long, all anyone could talk about what who did shoot Mr. Burns…too bad no one got it right.
Best moment: Burns: Smithers, who is that ignoramus? Smithers, who is that lollygagger? Who is the blubberpot? Who is that baffleweed? Lummox? Puddinghead? Beanhead? Goon? Goldbricker? Goofball? Drizzlepuss? Fumblefist?
Homer: Stop it!
Best underrated moment: Burns: I want that oil well! I've got a monopoly to maintain! I own the Electric Company, and the Water Works, plus the hotel on Baltic Avenue!
Skinner: That hotel's a dump and your monopoly's pathetic.

10. Whacking Day

Ben says: These days, Bart is pretty much just a dumbass prankster. But back in the earlier days of the show, Bart was an intelligent kid who was a severe underachiever and tended to use his faculties towards evil (such as him getting Milhouse’s picture on America’s Most Wanted). This episode plays to Bart’s intelligence and his deviousness (how can you not like a chicken being upset that a tractor is demeaning both it and Bart), which is nice. It also showed the questionable way history is told in Springfield, but I think does it far less heavy-handed and obvious than the later episode where Lisa attempts to debunk Jebediah Springfield.
Zach says: Another episode exploring the musical talents of Lisa, as she lays down a heavy baseline to save the snakes…plus, it guest-stars the late, great Barry White, who loves the sexy slither of a lady snake. But more to the point, this episode is just flat-out fun, from Homer taking out a bevy of fake snakes via some slick martial arts moves to an always-hilarious Chalmers visit to Springfield Elementary.
Best moment: Homer: Lisa, inside every man is a battle between Good and Evil which can never be resolved (Homer in a devil suit dancing on the grave of Good Homer) I am Evil Homer, I am Evil Homer, I am Evil Homer, long live Evil Homer!
Best underrated moment: Skinner: When was the battle of New Orleans?
Lisa: January 8th, 1815…two weeks after the war ended.
Chalmers: First rate!
Ralph Wiggum: What’s a battle?
Chalmers: Did that child just say “what’s a battle?”
Skinner: No, he said “what’s that rattle?”
Chalmers: It sounded like “battle.”
Skinner: Well I have a cold.
Chalmers: So you hear Bs as Rs?
Skinner: Yes.

11. A Star is Burns

Ben says: Crossovers normally suck, but this one and their X-Files one were both excellent. I tend to think this is because the guest might be headlining, but they’re no more important to an episode than original one shot characters. Jay Sherman is no more important to this storyline than say Rex Banner or Hank Scorpio. They’re key, but the story is still about Homer and his escapades. So it works.
Zach says: Perhaps you’re starting to sense a theme…Ben and I love Mr. Burns. But I love this episode because it features a cross-over with a great cartoon, The Critic, which never seemed to get a legitimate chance…Jon Lovitz is great as Jay Sherman, all of the films are hilarious, and McBain gets silly for $80 million.
Best moment: Football in the groin, football in the groin.
Best underrated moment: Kent Brockman: In science, dead last.
Skinner (being burned at the stake): I’m telling you people, the Earth revolves around the Sun.
Grandpa: Burn him!
Reporter: What a story (takes a picture)!
Grandpa: You stole my soul!

12. Rosebud

Ben says: This episode is great because of the many random bits that flow together perfectly. From Bobo ending up with Hitler in 1945, to Burns running across television stations, to the random joke about how the Kwik E Mart gets ice- it shouldn’t make sense, but it does. This is what Family Guy has tried to do but never could perfectly emulate; random humor towards a clear goal. It’s exemplified on this episode.
Zach says: Yes, more Burns magic. The whole episode is a great parody of Citizen Kane, with a bit of Planet of the Apes tacked on at the end. This episode exemplifies what used to make the Simpsons great, the fact that even the secondary characters could be fleshed out in great detail. Here, we saw that while Mr. Burns may be evil and tyrannical, he too can feel love and affection. Of course, now the show seems to delight in showing how one-dimensional its characters can be, but at least we’ve got the DVDs.
Best moment: Smithers: Sir, Look at all the wonderful things you have, sir: King Arthur's "Excalibur". The only existing nude photo of Mark Twain. And that rare first draft of the Constitution with the word "suckers" in it.
Best underrated moment: Homer: I knew you’d come crawling back.
Burns: How much do you want?
Homer: A million dollars and three Hawaiian islands. Good ones, not the leper ones!
Burns: Done!

13. You Only Move Twice

Ben says: I don’t love this episode as much as Zach does, mainly because everything outside of the main plot is not funny. However, Hank Scorpio IS hilarious is enough to make the episode entertaining to watch. By the way, the year Homer became owner of the Broncos, they went 13-3. Coincidence? Or did Scorpio know something about Homer we all didn’t?
Zach says: The first episode on the list that Ben and I greatly disagree on. I love this episode because, in my mind, it’s got as many laughs as any episode ever. Hank Scorpio is both the greatest boss ever and a hilarious send up of super-villains everywhere.
Best moment: Homer: [reading] "Project Arcturus couldn't have succeeded without you. This will get you a little closer to that
dream of yours. It's not the Dallas Cowboys, but it's a start. Drop me a line if you're on the East Coast, Hank Scorpio." [a whole football team is on his lawn]
Homer: [disappointed] Aw, the Denver Broncos!
Marge: I think owning the Denver Broncos is pretty good [a player tries to catch the ball, but falls].
Homer: Yeah, yeah.
Marge: Well, explain to me why it isn't. [John Elway tries to catch the ball, but it hits him in the head]
Homer: [sighs] You just don't understand football, Marge
Best underrated moment: UN Delegate 1: Oh my God, the 59th Street Bridge!
Delegate 2: Maybe it just collapsed on its own.
Delegate 1: We can’t take that chance.
Delegate 2: You always say that! I want to take a chance!

14. $pringfield

Ben says: Hahaha! What’s not to like about this episode? Homer defeats Gamblore, Ralph’s underrated “I’m Idaho” costume, Burns going insane. The Bart subplot? Hilarious. Now what was I laughing about? Oh yes, that crippled Irishman!
Zach says: Another excellent Burns bit, with him slowly going insane a la Howard Hughes…better keep those jars of urine. My biggest beef with this episode is that the Marge as a gambling addict storyline is kind of bland…but there are enough throwaway lines to more than make up for it. Grandpa at the Social Security office, Homer on the Gong Show, and Barney knocking out Jerry Cooney…brilliant!
Best moment: Lisa: Mom!
Homer: Huh -- wha -- Lisa! What's up?
Lisa: I just had a bad dream! Homer: Oh, sure. You just lie down and tell me all about it.
Lisa: Well, I know it's absurd, but I dreamed the Bogeyman was after me, and he's hiding under…
Homer: Aah! Bogeyman! You nail the windows shut, I'll get the gun! [running into Bart’s room] Bart, I don't want to alarm you, but there may be a bogeyman or bogeymen in the house!"
Later, Marge walks in, there are bullet holes in the door and the couch is tipped over in the living room…as she opens the door, Homer points a shotgun at her
Marge: What happened here?
Homer: Oh nothing, Marge. Just a little incident involving the Bogeyman!
Best underrated moment: Burns: Now, to the plant! We’ll take the Spruce Moose. [Points at model] Now hop in.
Smithers: But, sir…
Burns [cocking gun]: I said, hop in.

15. Homer & Apu

Ben says: Homer and Apu have been paired off in some crazy scheme once a season these days, but this was the first one that actually had them together. Hilarity ensued. Features one of the earliest and best musical numbers in the show while successfully portraying Homer as an ignorant buffoon, rather than just an ass, a problem in recent seasons. I mean was that guy REALLY the head of the Kwik E Mart?
Zach says: Strangely, most of the episodes that feature some form of travel or another are usually pretty good. Apu really fits into the household, which makes this one work better than, say, the Otto Show. Read what Ben said about Homer, and then imagine me saying it.
Best moment: Who needs the Kwik E Mart? Not me!
Best underrated moment: Apu: Please accept five pounds of frozen shrimp.
Homer: This shrimp isn't frozen! And it smells funny!
Apu: Ok, 10 pounds.
Homer: Woohoo!

16. Krusty Gets Kancelled

Ben says: While the most important episode in the Bart/Lisa/Krusty dynamic was unquestionably the first, where Sideshow Bob frames him, this was the funniest. There are loads of great lines and featured the most debate over the best line from the episode. I still maintain it should have been “Old gray mare she ain’t what she used to be, ain’t what she used to be.” Side note, I’m fairly certain Marge has no spoken lines on this entire episode. I’m not sure I can think of another episode where this is the case.
Zach says: Guest stars have generally been the bane of the show: they became a way for the writers to come up with an idea for the show, even if the way they came into Springfield was preposterous. This time, though, it just makes sense.
Best moment: Johnny Carson: Now Krusty, I just hope you remember to save your money this time.
Assistant: Here’s that ruby-studded clown nose you ordered Krusty!
Krusty: Ohh….
Best underrated moment: The opening- Bart and Homer see a commercial that just says “GABBO, GABBO, GABBO!”
Bart: What was that?
Homer: I figure it’s some guy’s name…. Some guy named Gabbo.

17. The 138th Episode Spectacular

Ben says: All Hail Troy McClure. Or should I say the late great Phil Hartman. It’s pretty impressive that his voice acting could make a clip show interesting. I liked this method more than the Behind the Laughter episode years later.
Zach says: All the other Simpsons clip shows suck. However, this one works for two reasons: the aforementioned McClure, and the fact that several of the “unaired” clips were absolutely hilarious.
Best moment: McClure: But of course, for that ending to work, you would have to ignore all the Simpson DNA evidence…hahaha…and that would be downright nutty.
Best underrated moment: Matt Groening: Get outta my office [fires two shots at camera, which goes to snow]
McClure: Of course, what Matt meant to say, according to his attorneys, is that he couldn’t possibly do it alone, and he insisted that we make time to acknowledge the hard work of everyone who makes The Simpsons possible.

18. The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson

Ben says: The Simpsons in NYC? It’s about darn time. I actually wonder if they play the episode now, considering the car ends up at the World Trade Center. Hmm. I also can’t help but emphatize with Homer’s fears; after all I have an unnatural fear of small Christian towns, especially those below the Mason Dixon Line.
Zach says: As I said before, the show travels well. If Checkin’ In had been playing while I was in New York, you can bet I’d have been there. Plus, we get a glimpse into the wild and wacky world of Mad Magazine.
Best moment: Homer’s flashback to NY in the 70’s. He gets his picture taken by someone, only to have them steal the camera. He tells a cop, only to have the cop steal his suitcase. Then Homer gets trashed dumped on him from above by Woody Allen. When Homer flicks off a banana peel, he hits a street pimp in all his stereotyped glory. The pimp then chases Homer, pimpstyle. The end result is Homer ending up in a sewer.
Best underrated moment: Homer to a street vendor: What do you have to drink?
Vendor: I have Mountain Dew or Crab Juice.
Homer: Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I’ll take the Crab Juice.

19. Homer the Vigilante

Ben says: Sam Neil rocks as the voice of Malloy. It’s also one of the better Grampa heavy episodes. Homer as a vigilante is something that has been tried since but never done as well as it was here. The statistics agree; Forfty percent of people know that.
Zach says: This episode shows you every side of Homer: loving father, alcoholic, idiot with violent tendencies, along with many more. Plus, it shows just how gullible Springfield can be.
Best moment: Herman: Come with me. See, it’s a miniature version of the A-Bomb. The government built it in the ‘50s to drop on beatniks.
Beatnik: Radiant cool, crazy nightmare, Zen New Jersey nowhere.
Homer [in B-2 bomber]: Put this in your pipe and smoke it! [cue Dr. Strangelove allusion]
Homer: Take that, Maynor J. Krebbs!
Herman: Hey, see the sign [Do Not Ride the Bomb]
Homer: Sorry.
Best underrated moment: Kent: What do you say to the charge that your men are causing more crime than they are stopping.
Homer: Oh Kent, I’d be lying if I said my men weren’t committing crimes. (awkward silence)
Kent: Touché.

20. The Mysterious Voyage of Homer

Ben says: I wholeheartedly believe that if Zach didn’t love Johnny Cash, this episode would not have made it. Don’t get me wrong; it’s great for the first half. Then it degenerates into another “Marge/Homer are meant for each other” fests. Not that the late Cash doesn’t do a great job as the space coyote.
Zach says: First off, come on, it's Johnny Cash as a Space Coyote! Second, like it or not, the “drug trip” episodes have become a part of the Simpsons landscape. No episode does it better, and the entirety of Homer’s trip is hilarious. Wait a second, dogs don’t talk…damn straight!
Best moment: Homer: In your face, Space Coyote!
Best underrated moment: Homer [asking about going on a spiritual journey]: What should I do? Should I give away all my possessions?
Space Coyote: Psh! Are you kidding? If anything you should get more possessions. You don’t even have a computer.

21. 22 Short Films About Springfield

Ben says: An episode like this could have been amazing or down right awful. This one was amazing. Some of the Simpsons side characters best moments have come on this episode and I’m fairly certain this is the one that catapulted Cletus into Simpsons’ secondary character fame.
Zach says: Like the 138th Episode Spectacular, this may be a gimmick, but the level of detail is what makes this one work. While it’s something of a cliché at this point, it really shows the depth of the show that an entire episode could be devoted to ancillary characters. Plus, finally someone is dealing head-on with the terrible epidemic of bonus eruptus among our nation’s elderly.
Best moment: Dr. Nick’s entire sketch from his entrance to his exit. Come on performing surgery with a knife and fork obtained a seafood restaurant? He DID clean them with his napkin…
Best underrated moment: Skinner and Chalmers.
Chalmers: Aurora Boralis! At this time of year, at this latitude localized ENTIRELY in your kitchen.
Skinner: Yes!
Chalmers: May I see it?
Skinner: Eh.. No.

22. Homer the Heretic

Ben says: I’m not that huge fan of this episode, but I do admit its quality. Homer’s conversations with God are clearly the best parts and rank as the best ones from the series.
Zach says: Come on, who wouldn’t want a day like Homer’s? Plus, he actually makes a lot of sound theological points (saying that if God is everywhere, why go to church and pointing out Jesus as someone who didn’t exactly do as he was told) and attracts forest creatures to flock to him.
Best moment: Keith Jackson: Whoa doctor, a 98-yard triple reverse ties the score at 63-63. We’ve seen nothing but razzle-dazzle here today, three visits from Morganna the Kissing Bandit, and the astonishing return of Jim Brown!
Best underrated moment: That’s game, Hendrix!

23. King-Size Homer

Ben says: Two things strike me as odd from this episode. First- Mr. Burns is always so evil. I can’t believe the nice guy Burns who shows up on this one is actually funny, but he is. Second, how did sixty pounds make Homer so darn fat? The guy went from 240-300. It’s some weight but wow… I mean really.
Zach says: First off Ben, he actually goes from 239 all the way up to 315 (towel rack!). Second of all, Homer’s shopping outing is absolutely one of the funniest moments in the show’s history, and I promise that if I ever weight 315 pounds I too will wear a mumu.
Best moment: Dr. Nick- what else? Hey, did you go to Hollywood Upstairs Medical College too?
Best underrated moment: You still owe me ten more Iroquois twists!

24. Lisa On Ice

Ben says: Hockey is a severely underrated sport and the Simpsons did it justice here. Plus Homer’s pitting his kids against one another in such viscous competition would be downright evil if half the country didn’t do the same thing. Heck, people used to give the Williams sisters hell in tennis for not wanting to kill each other when they played.
Zach says: I love this episode for the ending: both Ben and I have younger sisters, and I’m sure we both competed with them plenty in our youth. I’m a sucker for episodes that choke me up, and this one does it every time. I wish they’d had Pee-Wee hockey when I was a lad.
Best moment: Marge: You are not in competition with each other. Repeat, you are not in competition with each other.
Homer: Hey, Apu just called. This Friday, Lisa’s team is playing Bart’s team. You’re in direct competition! And don’t go easy on each other just because you’re brother and sister. I want to see you both fighting for your parents’ love. Fight fight fight fight fight!
Best underrated moment: Chief Wiggum: Great job team, nice work today. But unfortunately I bet on the other team, so we won’t be going out for ice cream.

25. Much Apu About Nothing

Ben says: The Simpsons has always balanced current events with pure comedy but in recent years has become preachy and rather heavy handed in their messages. This episode had just the right balance of comedy and insight to make it a classic. Plus you could run it as a new episode now and it would still seem timely. Well except that Mets jersey. They dumped the racing stripe style over fourteen years ago.
Zach says: Ben mostly covered my thoughts as well, but I’ll add that you could never imagine the current show handling an issue like illegal immigration this delicately. Also, the scene where Apu takes the legalization test is awesome.
Best moment: Homer and Lisa watch the Bear Patrol work the neighborhood.
Homer: No bears the Bear Patrol must be doing it’s job.
Lisa: That’s specious reasoning dad. (Homer thanks her) By your logic, I could say this rock protects against tigers.
Homer: Hmmm… How does it work?
Lisa: It doesn’t work! (Homer nods) But I don’t see any tigers around.
Homer: Lisa, I want to buy your rock! (Lisa shrugs and takes the money for it. The mailman delivers Homer’s check) Woo-hoo! No bears and a fat paycheck! (Homer inspects it and finds a 13 cent bear tax) Hey! Bear Patrol tax? This is an outrage! It’s the largest tax increase in history!
Lisa: Actually Dad, it’s the smallest tax increase in history.
Homer: Let the bears pay the bear tax. I pay the Homer tax.
Lisa: That’s Home owner tax.
Homer: Whatever, I’m still outraged.
Best underrated moment: Apu pretending to be an American: Hey let us take a relaxed attitude towards work and watch the baseball match. The Ny Mets are my favorite squadron.
