The 60 Best Simpsons Episodes Of All Time Must Watch

Before knowing the Best Simpsons Episodes Of All Time, let’s learn about the Simpsons series first! The series has been honored for being the longest-running vivified TV arrangement and the longest-running early evening scripted TV program in U.S. history (1989-); Simpsons is presently transmitted to watchers around the globe in a few dialects.

The Simpsons, created by visual artist Matt Groening, appeared in 1987 as a short animation on the Fox Broadcasting Company’s Tracey Ullman Show, an assortment program.

Extended to thirty minutes, it debuted on December 17, 1989, as a Christmas exceptional and began circulating week after week in January 1990. Here are the best Simpsons Episodes of all time.

The show was delayed to pull in a group of people with veteran TV and movie maker chief James Brooks as its leader maker, alongside Groening and Sam Simon.

Yet, its prosperity started later in the year, assisting with making the upstart Fox network a significant adversary on transmission TV. The Simpsons are famous for their diverse range of primary and supporting characters.

60. Marge vs. the Monorail

• Season 4

While traveling through Los Angeles, Conan O’Brien found a billboard that read “Monorail.”

O’Brien got to work crafting what is remembered as the most famous episode by channeling The Music Man.

Homer is charged with serving as the monorail’s first conductor when con artist Lyle Lanley (Phil Hartman) persuades the town to purchase a defective model.

Mayor Quimby called a town meeting to decide how to use the funds. With more stray jokes in a few minutes than most episodes have in 22, O’Brien’s Harvard-via-Monty Python ridiculous humor is at its best.

This Simpsons episode is a perfect watch for a Saturday night.

59. El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer

• Season 8

It’s uncommon to locate a unique episode among the 552 available.

However, “The Mysterious Voyage of Homer,” in which Homer Thompson embarks on a hallucinatory search for his love after consuming an excessive amount (read: more than zero) of Guatemalan insanity peppers, is surreal enough to win the prize.

Homer’s pepper trip takes place after an expository first third that features a chili cook-off and features Flanders changing into a group of mustaches, a vindictive tortoise, a ghost train, Marge turning into dust, and Johnny Cash playing the coyote who utters proverbs like “Clarity is the path to inner peace.”

Fans of The Simpsons have rightfully dissected the episode’s philosophical and religious themes, but there is no finer illustration of pure psychedelic madness—one of the best episodes.

58. Homer Badman

• Season 6

Only The Simpsons could open an episode at a candy convention and then transition into a brilliant satire about sexual misconduct and how the media can incite public outrage.

The opening shots in Homer Badman at the Gummy Convention are fantastic, with Marge accompanying Homer while donning a coat packed with concealed pockets.

Both the scene where he confronts the man who sells “the candy of a thousand uses,” or artificial lips, and the blast that Homer creates to escape with the Gummi Venus Di Milo is excellent. This single episode is enough to make you smile.

57. Last Exit To Springfield

• Season 4

Last Exit To Springfield is a great classic episode that skillfully fuses biting satire, ridiculous humor, and a sincere political statement.

In the story, Mr. Burns offers a keg of beer in exchange for taking away the dental insurance provided by his employees’ union, and then there is a power plant strike.

Homer firmly persuades the union to reject Burns’ offer because Lisa Simpson needs new braces.

He becomes union president, and Mr. Burns believes him to be a cunning political operative.

This episode, Last Exit To Springfield, is faultless from beginning to end. Jokes are made on Ralph Wiggum, too.

56. 22 Short Films About Springfield

• Season 11

Few television sitcoms would dare utilize an obscure art-house movie like Francois Girard’s Thirty-Two Short Films About Glenn Gould as the inspiration for a whole episode.

The show’s most comprehensive depiction of Springfield’s huge universe to date allowed movie buffs to nod in approval while everyone else enjoyed it.

Only on The Simpsons can haphazard, scarcely present characters under skit featuring Principal Skinner and Superintendent Chalmers. (also known as Bumblebee Man) receive their slice-of-life mini-episodes. Tom Petty, Brian Setzer, Elvis Costello, Lenny Kravitz, Mick Jagger, and Keith Richards chase Homer in a huge devil’s head.

55. Alone Again, Natura-diddily

• Season 11

On paper, the plot of the episode seems ridiculous: Maude Flanders is shot and murdered by a t-shirt gun at a race, sending her flying out of the stadium.

The Flanders household, likely the most devout in the series, must deal with the sudden death and how to move on after an unimaginable loss, even though death rarely persists in the program.

In the meantime, that Kovenant song about discovering Jesus after a hotel room binge is a treasure.

54. King-Size Homer

• Season 7

To live the American Dream, which includes receiving disability payments, working from home, and donning a muumuu all day, Homer balloons to over 300 pounds.

This episode will answer how Homer managed to keep his medium-sized frame while consuming a continuous diet of booze & doughnuts: he wasn’t also chowing down on Ham Ahoy, banana splits, and pop-tart sandwiches.

When Homer learns that he is just a few pounds away from becoming eligible for worker’s compensation, Homer starts binge eating even more than normal—one of the best episodes.

53. Mom and Pop Art

• Season 10

When Homer decides to construct a BBQ pit, he accidentally gains recognition as a gifted outsider artist. Homer asks Bart to assist him in flooding the entire town as part of his final thesis. Jasper Johns is the one in the boat rowing by, yes.

The compilation of modern art includes Andy Warhol’s violent use of soup cans, Dali’s clock melting on Homer’s head, and Picasso’s Three Musicians packing a punch.

52. The Twisted World Of Marge Simpson

• Season 8

 

When she gets thrown out of her investment party in The Twisted World of Marge Simpson” in season 8, Marge tries to invest in a business of her own and begins a pretzel business.

Homer wants to help her out by hiring the crime syndicate of Fat Tony to scare all the other food sellers out of Springfield to get the pretzel numbers up while Marge’s latest company fails.

51. Duffless

• Season 4

 

Homer loses his driving license when he is arrested for drunk driving after a visit to the Duff brewery with Barney and is ordered by Marge to give up beer (not deer) for a month.

This one has a noticeable depth to it, as all of the best Simpsons series, with the risks of drinking and addiction being a primary topic.

Likewise, an incredibly touching ending is Homer’s decision to turn his back on boozing to go and spend time with his wife.

The subplot of the episode involving the science experiment of Bart wrecking Lisa is also amusing, with a neat homage to Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange included in the shot where he reaches out for the cupcakes.

It is a genuinely well-rounded episode that is fun and serious in equal parts and one in which Homer’s struggle to stay sober is beautifully made, even if it is quickly overlooked in the show as a fun and serious part. One of the best episodes.

50. Simpson Tide

• Season 9
  
  

The core storyline sees Homer being shot and eventually joining the Naval Reserve, with Apu, Barney, and Moe inexplicably also joining.

Homer Simpson impresses the Captain while out on war games and is left in charge of the submarine when he goes to check on a torpedo problem.

One thing leads to another, and Homer is in command of a nuclear submarine before you know it, and it almost triggers a return to the Cold War.

Meanwhile, a humorous subplot sees Milhouse acquiring an earring and becoming hip instantly.

At the same time, Bart’s vain effort to please his peers similarly by doing the Bartman dance achieves nothing for his standing.

It’s a thin idea, but the show succeeds beautifully due to moments such as the reluctance of Homer to be frightened by his drill teacher, “nuclear….pronounced it’s nuclear,” and the surreal joke when the Soviet Union discovers that all these years were only lying dormant.

The Simpsons team did a great job with this one.

49. The Way We Was

• Season 2
  
  

The first flashback episode of the Simpsons is a teasing look into the childhood of Marge and Homer and the tale of how they first met at high school.

Homer falls head over heels for her after Marge uncharacteristically gets arrested after burning her bra at a feminist protest and embarks on a mission to win her over.

She agrees to go to the prom with Artie Ziff instead of the “busy hands” after Homer misleads her and causes her to lose sleep because of her debate competition.

It was fun to see a little history of the Simpsons household, and it brings a touch of emotional spice to the Marge and Homer Lovebirds saga. This one has a lot of memorable moments.

48. Homer The Vigilante

• Season 5
  
  

Homer forms a vigilante posse to hunt down the perpetrator after a pet burglar begins terrorizing the citizens of Springfield.

He joins alongside his crew and eventually commits more violence than they solve.

Grandpa Simpson ultimately solves the riddle and names the culprit his nursing home neighbor, Molloy (voiced by Sam Neill).

With a Sherlock-esque observation, famously mentioning that he was wearing sneakers… for sneaking.”

This episode succeeds when Homer becomes drunk on strength and just tries to push his weight about the town without coming much closer to finding the attacker. This episode is laugh-out-loud funny.

47. Lisa On Ice

• Season 6
  
  

Lisa played minor league hockey after getting a bad score in gym class to ensure she didn’t struggle. Her squad will shortly be in close competition with Bart’s.

Naturally, Homer does the intelligent thing and insists that it is essential to be successful at sports and inspires them to play passionately for the affection of their parents.

“In this episode, Homer’s inappropriateness is superb, and I have lost count of the times I’ve tried to grab a room’s attention by flicking on and off the light switch and chanting, “Fight! Struggle!”

Rude as it can be, it’s undeniably powerful as well.

46. Behind the Laughter

• Season 11
  
  

You can see how a typical family transformed into magnificent, well-known superstars seemingly overnight in this new mockumentary episode, which seems to be based on the real-life story of the Simpson family. 

The episode makes fun of the entertainment business and the show itself simultaneously.

45. The Springfield Files

• Season 8
  
  

The Simpsons’ new episode from the eighth season explores what happened when Borish Yeltsin submitted to a breathalyzer test.

You also watch Homer attempting to cross the eerie forest on his way home. At that point, he comes across a luminous alien-looking thing that whispers, “Don’t be afraid,” but the reality of the situation is quite the reverse.

44. Hurricane Neddy

• Season 8
  
  

In the episode Hurricane Neddy, you can see how a hurricane destroyed Flander’s home. Perhaps his friends and neighbors can help him restore it. 

Unfortunately for Ned, the endeavor was rather amateurish, and his trust broke off, necessitating the need to take him to obtain mental care. Unexpectedly, this new episode also provides insights into Ned’s past.

43. Rosebud

• Season 5
  
  

One of the infrequent episodes, Rosebud, allows viewers to witness the evil Mr. Burns’ alternate personality.

The scene in Rosebud where Burns tries to reclaim his childhood teddy bear from Maggie Simpson seems to be a parody of Citizen Kane. 

Even though Mr. Burns is known for his villainous traits, his supporters were pleasantly surprised to learn that he also has a sympathetic side.

42. Deep Space Homer

• Season 5

NASA agrees to bring a regular guy, Homer Simpson, natch, into orbit alongside astronauts Race Banyon and Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin to fuel public confidence in the space program, giving The Simpsons writers a chance to make any science fiction joke imaginable.

The preparation sequence allows Homer’s crewmate Barney to go without booze, unleashing his internal gymnast and opera singer (he sings two lines of The Pirates of Penzance’s Major General’s song; shades of “Cape Feare” after Homer’s inability to recognize himself ), and when he opens a bag of smuggled potato chips in zero gravity and triggers an Apollo 13-style crisis, Homer’s fears of space flight are realized.

41. A Streetcar Named Marge

• Season 4

 

Marge somehow wins the part of Blanche DuBois in a community theater performance of a musical version of A Streetcar Called Desire, written and directed by Llewlyn Sinclair (guest star Jon Lovitz), and deservedly so. Everybody remembers the plot of this one.

But just as solid, sweet, and amusing is the B story, which sees Maggie being socked away in daycare and plotting a prison-movie-style escape.

This is an episode of a pantheon for the show’s authors and its musical director, Alf Clausen. The daycare scenes reorchestrate Elmer Bernstein’s score for The Great Escape, and You Can Always Depend on the Kindness of Strangers” and “New Orleans” are the brazenly silly earworms of the musical.

The latter’s hyperbolically bleak lyrics depicting the Big Easy as “stinking, rotten, vomit, vile” caused an uproar in the city; the series apologized the following week by making Bart compose.

40. Lisa’s Sax

• Season 9

 

Lisa was heartbroken when Bart chucked her saxophone out the window. Before that, she says she can’t recall her childhood, encouraging Homer and Marge to tell her how the instrument came into their lives. “Everything happened in 1990,” says Homer.

At school, a 5-year-old Bart was miserable, a secretly gifted Lisa had little to inspire her mind, and Marge and Homer scraped $200 together to purchase an air conditioner.

Homer is dopey but ultimately devoted; Marge is the voice of reason but not a lump in the mud;

Bart is mischievous and naughty, but only because he searches for affirmation and companionship. It is the ideal encapsulation of the true selves of each character.

This episode was about Bart and Lisa Simpson, without a doubt.

39. You Only Move Twice

• Season 8

 

This is an almost ridiculous show that picks up world-changing developments so that they can be overlooked the next week, a prolonged spoof of James Bond in general, where You Only Live Twice in particular.

Homer is recruited by the Globex Organization, a shadowy business run by a secret villain called Hank Scorpio (voiced by Albert Brooks); it’s a plum career that encourages Homer to work with a guy who seems genuinely like him, but Marge and the children are miserable and want to move to Springfield with their relocation to Cypress Creek.

The effort by Homer to discuss this dispute with Hank Scorpio is thwarted by government forces assaulting the headquarters of Scorpio. Things from there only get sillier.

38. Radioactive Man

• Season 7

Radioactive Man’s long-awaited live-action-movie version is set to shoot in Springfield, with the title character starring Rainier Wolfcastle.

Bart is auditioning for the part of Fallout Boy, the hero’s sidekick, but loses it to Milhouse, an inch taller. In the role, Milhouse is dissatisfied because he agreed to it only to please his money-grubbing parents.

A daring assertion, admittedly, “Radioactive Man” stirs together a staggering amount of the ongoing obsessions of The Simpsons.

Including polite jealousy, comic book mania, changing pop cultural trends (apparently, the old Radioactive Man TV series is based on Adam West Batman in the 1960s), and the way Hollywood warps innocence (Moe remembers his agonizing agony).

“It’s also a star-making episode for Rainier Wolfcastle, a regular cameo player, who pronounces the catchphrase “Up and Atom! as “Up and at dem,” and replies with a monotone to an onrushing tidal acid wave, “My eyes… de goggles, dey do nothing!”

37. Simpsorama 

• Season 26
  
  

Simpson is one of the TV shows that has been around for a long time and has a ton of episodes to watch. 

You may watch numerous episodes across the Simpsons series, but the 6th brand-new episode for the 26th Season, Simpsorama, released in 2014, has captured the interest of many fans.

You will see the Simpsons meet the Planet Express crew for the first time in the fascinating plot of this new episode. The Planet Express team traveled to the city’s present to prevent Springfield from ruining the future.

36. And Maggie Makes Three 

• Season 6
  
  

The voice of Dan Castellaneta In this new episode, which has Homer as the main character, we see him being questioned by his children about why a picture of Maggie as a youngster is missing from the family album.

At that point, Homer takes you back to explain the circumstances surrounding Maggie’s birth.

35. Homer vs. The Eighteenth Amendment

• Season 8
  
  

One such episode is this episode, in which Prohibition is revived in Springfield, and Homer becomes a bootlegger known as the Beer Baron, pursued by Rex Banner, an Elliot Ness-type crime fighter.

It is mainly remembered for its closing sentence, which is one for the ages (“To alcohol: the cause of all life’s problems and the solution to them, “Homer vs. the 18th Amendment” is full of good terms.

Voice acting on The Simpsons is always taken for granted. Still, the work of Dave Thomas as the humorless Banner is such a fitting tribute to The Untouchables and Dragnet that it is impossible to picture the episode’s popularity without it. “Hold on a minute now, Missy,” Marge says.

We cannot choose which rules we would like to follow. If it were, I would kill anyone who looked cockeyed at me! ”

34. Homer’s Barbershop Quartet

• Season 5
  
  

The Be Sharps called their second record Bigger Than Jesus, instead of John Lennon claiming the Beatles were more famous than Jesus.’

Instead of Homer setting down his dessert so George Harrison could be properly starstruck, he eats an infinite stream of brownies.

Is anything like Burt Ward rather than Ringo?

“Homer’s Barbershop Quartet” may have been a lazy spoof of the most popular band in the country, but the writers were self-conscious enough to scatter the comparisons with some welcome weirdness.

33. A Fish Called Selma

• Season 7

It was about time that Troy McClure had an episode of his own. After all, the appearance of a Hollywood caricature voiced to perfection by the late Phil Hartman was a blessing. The star of TV specials (Out With Gout ’88), instructional films (Designated Drivers:

The Lifesaving Nerds), and movies (Dial M for Murderousness) enter into what he hopes will be a career-boosting fake union with the sister of Marge in A Fish Named Selma.

Then, another episode should have shown that Troy McClure was gay.

But for The Simpsons, it will be too dull.

What he conceals is that he’s drawn to fish sexually. Selma leaves him when Troy proposes to have a boy, selecting her pet iguana, Jub-Jub, over a husband to use her to raise his fame.

32. Homer’s Phobia

• Season 8

 

In “Homer’s Phobia,” John (impeccably voiced by John Waters), the owner of a kitsch collectibles shop, befriends the Simpsons.

Homer likes John like the rest of the world until he discovers he is homosexual. He then spends the remainder of the show attempting, in the most hilariously incompetent manner, to discourage Bart from being gay.

The explanation of why the episode performs so well is that Homer makes kind of the proper patsy. Homer’s not political in particular; he’s just reactionary and ignorant.

He brings wrong positions to such extremes that even in the most slight way, they show the irony of the position.

And so when he pushes things to such an extreme, it is even more convincing as he discovers the error of his ways.

Now, it’s easy to watch “Homer’s Phobia” and believe the role the show plays is clear, but it’s necessary to consider the time and the audience, many of whom were likely to get their first exposure via the show to gay rights.

31. Homer to the Max

• Season 10

Homer’s eye catches just one show: Police Officers, starring none other than… Homer Simpson. This other Homer is calm, quiet, and not just a cop but a POLICE cop, unlike our Homer.

For the next week, Homer struts about Springfield, taking advantage of his unearned fame, but Cool Homer is turned into Bumbling Sidekick Homer in the next episode.

“His catchphrase: “Uh-oh, SpaghettiOs.” Where Homer once adored his friends by literally mistaking fantasy, he now totally rejects it by changing his name to Max Power.

Homer to the Max” is undoubtedly supported by his meta-humor (since season one, Homer has gone through different levels of intelligence).

Still, it also functions as another funny episode about how ridiculous TV can be.”

30. Scenes From the Class Struggle in Springfield

• Season 7

 

Marge starts to wear it constantly after discovering a Chanel suit marked down from $2,800 to $90, including a ride to Kwik-E-Mart, where she bumps into a high school classmate, Evelyn, who is as wealthy as she is.

Evelyn is also a fan of Marge’s sharp sense of design, and she welcomes the whole Simpsons family to the Springfield Country Club.

Marge needs to be on the inside, so she keeps tailoring her uniform, fearful that if she wears her normal dress, she will not be welcomed.

You can’t help but sympathize with the desperation of Marge, even if the country club is a “hotbed of exclusionist snobs and social climbers seeking status.”

Eventually, Marge unknowingly gets what she wants.

29. Bart vs. Thanksgiving

• Season 2
  
  

While it was initially broadcast on the fourth Thursday of November 1990, “Bart vs. Thanksgiving” is less a celebration than a glimpse at the tension a family can add to the holiday season.

This is the first episode attributed entirely to George Meyer, who appeared to be the most suitable writer for the subject matter.

In 2004, he told The Believer, “I have a deep suspicion of social institutions and tradition in general,” Bart erroneously tosses her Thanksgiving centerpiece into the fireplace while arguing with Lisa.

Bart, who runs out, stumbles into a soup kitchen and eventually comes home, is rightfully lashed out by the family.

Nevertheless, he declines to apologize, claiming he is being scapegoated. He doesn’t see the light before his sister advises him to look into himself and “find a spot. There wasn’t something you want.”

Eventually, Bart says sorry, and Homer, who is eavesdropping, turns to his wife and says, “You’re known to be there.”

28. Who Shot Mr. Burns?: Part 1

• Season 6
  
  

It’s quick to forget how big the “Who Shot Mr. Burns?” deal was.

“It was a sitcom when it aired. It’s supposed to be a Dallas spoof of Who Shot J.R.??” “Arc of Story, “Who Shot Mr. Burns? ” was arguably just as meaningful.

The first half, the season six finale, essentially created the fact that practically any Springfield resident will have a reason to shoot Mr. Burns, who blurred the boundary between daily villainy and comic supervillainy by stealing oil from elementary school and then shutting it out.

Lisa collaborated with Chief Wiggum to uncover the culprit in the season seven opener, parodying Twin Peaks.

Around its season-six cliffhanger, the show decided to create a case, and it did just that.

Fans spent the summer exploring this topic, attempting to win the contest to guess the right person and logging in to the newly formed Springfieldcom (this episode is considered one of the first successful internet tie-ins by a TV show).

27. The Last Temptation of Homer

• Season 5

“The Last Temptation of Homer” is one of the best successes of the show. In the past, the show had tackled infidelity, including “Life on the Fast Lane” and “Colonel Homer,” but The Last Temptation of Homer overshadowed both.”

In the show, Mindy, a new female co-worker who happens to be his dream fit, is introduced to Homer.

The show does an exceptional job with the personality of Mindy (perfectly voiced by Michelle Pfeiffer).

The writers make her very genuine; instead of earning her a flirty, seductress-taken, she’s off-balance by the situation just as much as Homer is.

There is nervousness and apprehension about her rather than being lustful or playful. The episode succeeds in not selling Homer out outside Mindy by making him genuinely feel the urge.

The fact that marriage is not about not getting tempted is brilliantly articulated; it’s about understanding that what you have is more significant.

26. Halloween of Horror

• Season 24
  
  

The show wanted to do an actual Halloween episode after 27 seasons. And because of the theme of “Treehouse of Horror,” the authors had only too much content to draw from in their first foray to joke about the actual holiday.

We’re all about optimizing the space of TV, having as many jokes, ideas, and parodies as space can contain when we talk about The Simpsons at its finest, and this episode reaches that kind of density, covering different Halloween styles.

Halloween of Horror tells two charming tales about the bond between children and Halloween and how parents want to shield their children from the realities of maturity, all while this is happening.

In the same episode, demonstrate the world from Bart and Lisa’s and Homer and Marge’s.

As well as The Simpsons, no show has done large and small story narration simultaneously; this is a master instance.

25. Like Father Like Clown

• Season 3
  
  

You should potentially arrange a wickedly funny race comprising only episodes in which Bart interacts with Krusty.

This follows up on the “Krusty Gets Busted” season, in which Bart saves Krusty from jail by discovering that Bob allegedly robbed the Kwik-E-Mart.

Hereafter, having missed several dinners at the Simpson’s house, vowed to Bart after he got Krusty out of his mess, Krusty admits that he is Jewish and isolated from his father.

Rabbi Hyman Krustofsky plays Jackie Mason (natch), and the episode goes to HAM on Jewish jokes.

Of necessity, sensitively. We see Springfield’s Lower East Side and Krusty singing at the Catskills Rabbi Convention, one significant homage to The Jazz Singer.

The Simpsons is a sitcom about the cartoon family, and the Simpsons are the animated family.

Yet early on Like Father Like Clown” proved that it could focus its eye on other character backgrounds and explore absurdity.

24. The Joy of Sect

• Season 9

 

In The Joy of Sect,” conceived by David Mirkin, the Simpsons follow the Movementarians.

Centered on many 20th-century cultures, the party worships The Chief and expects a perfect life on Blisstonia.

Homer refuses at first. It’s fun watching the founders of the cult discover that an unfocused buffoon is more brutal to brainwash than a rational individual.

Although explicitly mocking Scientology at times, Homer notes that he has given 10 trillion years of labor to the Movementarians; the episode also points to hypocrisy.

Reverend Lovejoy says, “This so-called ‘new religion’ is nothing but a pack of weird rituals and chants designed to take away the money of fools,” Let’s say the prayer of the Lord 40 times, but let’s pass the collection plate first.”

Let us say the Lord’s prayer 40 times, but first, let’s pass the collection plate” (with beer).

23. Moe’N’a Lisa

• Season 18

As the title implies, this episode combines two of Springfield’s eternal outsiders: Moe and Lisa.

The two bond as Lisa arranges into a poem Moe’s bleak ramblings about suicide, or his “brain goo.”

The performance of that verse takes the couple to the prestigious Literary Wordloaf Conference (a spoof on the Bread Loaf Conference).

It leads to the literary world being hilariously torn down. Only The Simpsons could pull off an episode like this.

Suppose it’s Gore Vidal announcing that he got the title for Burr after seeing it on an Eskimo Pie commercial, Thomas Wolfe calling for the leftover garlic mashed potatoes of all or the brutal competition between Michael Chabon and Jonathan Franzen (all four writers gave their voices).

In that case, the show succeeds in making these literary heavyweights into buffoons in every way.

22. Springfield

• Season 5

Springfield (Or How I Learned to Quit Worrying and Enjoy Legalizing Gambling) is more of a challenge of morality, exploring the numerous ways that even a small town can be influenced by gambling.

Homer becomes a blackjack dealer, Marge becomes a poker addict, Bart establishes his casino, Lisa is overlooked, and Mr. Burns goes nuts.

One of the first episodes to include so many residents of Springfield is Springfield.

How broad it looks and how many people are involved is reminiscent of The Simpsons Movie.

21. Treehouse of Horror VI

• Season 7

One of the greatest things about episodes of Treehouse of Horror is that they encourage the show’s creators to go utterly insane and engage in the strangest, most cruel, most slashing bits of their imaginations.

The first segment of this sixth entry is the latter, “Attack of the 50-Foot Eyesores.”

An atmospheric hurricane is bringing to life giant fast food and other capitalist mascots, and they’re heading across the area on a devastating tear.

“Kent Brockman intones portentously at the end of the story, “Even as I speak, the plague of ads may be headed toward your area!“ The Commercial Cut.

20. Homer and Apu

• Season 5

 

The obvious question has been answered in this episode: Who requires Kwik-E-Mart? Of default, Apu.

A significant character who routinely roams the Simpsons world, Apu’s world is usually contained within the store where he operates.

Nevertheless, when Apu gets fired for selling expired meats, mainly to Homer, and is then fired, he is unexpectedly forced beyond those confines.

This leads him, of course, into the house of the man who threw him out.

It puts a side character squarely in the center of the universe of the leading quintet while also using Homer as the cause for confusion, which makes ‘Homer and Apu’ a classic.

While viewers get a deeper glimpse into the life and devotion of Apu to his job, it is essentially Homer who triggers the adventures. This episode is a showcase for both actors.

19. When Flanders Failed

• Season 3

In The Simpsons universe, Ned Flanders is an eternal champion.

While some characters are described by their vulnerabilities, Moe’s lack of a love life, the oppressive loyalty of Skinner to his mother, and the general incompetence of Homer, Flanders is still a comparatively genuine concern.

Although When Flanders Failed” reverses the dynamics of Homer and Flanders, we see Flanders sliding downhill for the first time instead of his inadvertent neighbor.

When Homer wins the wishbone and hopes to go out of money for Flanders’ latest Leftorium, we see the same issues occurring to Flanders that generally occur to Homer.

18. Boyz N the Highlands

• Season 33
  
  

Simpson’s Boyz N the Highlands is among the famous 33rd season’s 13th episodes, where you will get to see the storyline give its focus on the two characters Bart and Martin. 

The whole plot for the 22-minute episode focuses on Martin and Bart, who got into bullies run to save their lives as their wilderness takes a big dark turn.

17. Marge the Meanie

• Season 33
  
  

The Simpsons franchise’s most recent new episodes, which debuted in 2022, include Marge the Meanie. 

However, the 33rd season’s new episode 20 depicts how Marge has been attempting to forge a new relationship with the young Bart after learning the terrifying secret from her past.

16. King Size Home

• Season 7

King Size Home is one of the well-known episodes from The Simpsons’ seventh new season. This episode debuted as the seventh new episode of the seventh new season. 

The movie’s plot centers on Homer purposefully gaining weight to qualify as a “disabled person” and be permitted to work from home. Later on, though, he understood that being obese has its own issues.

15. I Married Marge

• Season 3

Among all the Simpson’s origin myths, the untimeliness of Marge’s pregnancies is a recurring theme. But “I Married Marge” focuses only on the first-born child of Marge and Homer.

An ambiguous pregnancy test is taken up by Marge (who didn’t trust Barnacle Bill), sparking this flashback episode, prompting Homer to tell the children the story of how they got married and how he got the job at the power plant.

This episode depicts the undivided affection between Marge and Homer.

14. Barthood

• Season 27

The episode’s name, Barthood, shows that the entire plot revolves around Bart’s life. 

We must see Bart continuing to be the same 10-year-old character throughout the Simpsons franchise’s next fresh seasons. However, there is a sporadic episode where we see Bart as an adult.

13. Homer Alone

• Season 3

“Homer Alone” could be an exploration of Marge’s psyche. In keeping with author David M. Stern, his work friends seldom needed to center episodes on her.

“Everybody needed to jot down Homer or Bart,” he said.

Throughout a particularly trying day for Oleo, Maggie’s bottle explodes in the automobile.

This triggers Oleo to park her automobile on a bridge. She’s inactive and discharged, then sent to Rancho, wherever she will rehabilitate.

12. Short Films About Springfield

• Season 7
  
  

The shorts depict everyday life in Springfield, where Bart and Milhouse explore the town’s inhabitants.

They encounter various challenges, such as a bee sting on Smithers, a doctor’s appointment, a beehive sting on Dr. Scratch, a looting of Moe by Snake, and a misunderstanding between Superintendent Chalmers and Principal Skinner.

The plot also features a battle between bosses Wiggum, Lou, and Eddie, Honey Bee Man, and Snake, and a visit from a pet dog named Old English Sheepdog.

The episode ends with Milhouse trying to use the restroom in Comic Book Guy’s Android Dungeon and a stylist removing the gum from Lisa’s head.

Nelson, a tall man, and Bart and Milhouse spread ketchup and mustard on Nelson, implying that life is interesting in their town.

Homer joins an antiquated mystery society known as the Stonecutters in the scene.

After Homer’s notification that his collaborators Lenny and Carl appreciate extraordinary advantages at the Springfield Power Plant, he learns they are important for an old-fashioned mystery, the Stonecutters.

To go along with this, one should either be the child of a Stonecutter or spare the life of a Stonecutter. While praising the mystery society during supper, Homer finds that his dad is a part of it and is conceded.

After his introduction, Homer enjoys incredible the general public’s mystery advantages. He accidentally decimates their Hallowed Sacred Parchment during a celebratory supper with his kindred Stonecutters.

He is deprived of his Stonecutter robes and condemned to walk home stripped.

Before he left, the Stonecutters saw that Homer had a pigmentation that looked like their image, implying he is the Chosen One who would lead them to significance.

10. Homer’s Enemy

• Season 8
  
  

The scene investigates the comic prospects of a reasonable character with a solid working attitude employed for an occupation where he needs to work close to a man like Homer.

He was mainly demonstrated after Michael Douglas’ character in Falling.

Honest Grimes, the new representative at the force plant, is disappointed with Homer’s inadequacy and hard-working attitude and is incited by the lethargy.

He, in the end, announces himself a foe of Homer.

Then, Bart purchases a manufacturing plant for $1 and works it alongside Milhouse, although they wind up crushing it down and bringing in no cash.

9. Treehouse of Horror 5

• Season 6
  
  

The scene: Wildly famous TV show Itchy and Scratchy needs to shake things up a piece so it presents another character, Poochie – voiced by Homer.

Why it’s truly outstanding: If this isn’t the best discourse on interfering organization heads, I don’t know what it is.

The innovative group took their disappointment from Fox’s altering and acquainted Poochie and Roy with The Itchy and Scratchy Show.

Two ‘cool’ people who didn’t fit into the universes they were entering again, everything comes full circle in an agonizing two minutes (however it feels far, far longer) where Poochie made his TV debut.

It’s both funny and frightening as Poochie, in a real sense, keeps the deranged Itchy and Scratchy from the way forward – where a firecracker production line lay on stand-by – and afterward, the scene closures to protests and moans from Homer’s loved ones.

In any case, it was the best scene of Impy Chimpy Ned Flanders ever observed.

8. Plow

• Season 4
  
  

The scene: Homer discovers accomplishment by firing up a snow furrow business; however, his closest companion, Barney, attempts to muscle in on his turf. Why it’s truly outstanding:

We’re arriving at an exemplary area. This scene denoted the second where the show went from pretty damn great animation to one of the unequaled greats.

Indeed, even easygoing Simpsons fans would be good not to recollect the Mr. Plow jingle; however, the craziness of the scene’s set-ups are most affectionately reviewed.

The whole Mr. Plow business, particularly Grandpa getting drilled partially through, is a treat to watch, and the liveliness of Homer’s unsafe ramshackle scaffold crossing has barely been beaten in a long time since.

“Mr. Plow” fills in as a microcosm of the exemplary years’ triumphant equation since it has an incredible plot including auxiliary Springfield characters, in a real sense a joke like clockwork, and respectful visitor star appearances, for example, the one by the late Adam West.

7. Marge vs The Monorail

• Season 4
  

  

The plot spins around Springfield’s drive acquisition of a broken monorail from a conman and how it tumbles to Marge to prevent the train from devastating the town.

Marge versus the Monorail” aired in the fourth season when the show was genuinely finding its sweet spot and making its mark.

It was one of just three scenes composed by Conan O’Brien, the most acclaimed name to emerge from that incredible essayist’s room, and previous scholars regularly refer to it as a defining moment in the show where the more ludicrous turned into the standard.

6. Viaje Misterioso De Nuestro

• Season 8
  
  

Also known as “The Mysterious Voyage of Our Homer”. In the scene, Homer eats a few hot bean stew peppers and fantasizes, making him go on a baffling journey.

After that, he addresses his relationship with Marge and then tours to discover his soul mate.

A more exact interpretation of the scene title from Spanish is “The Mysterious Trip of Our ‘Jomer.’” Nuestro is the Spanish word for “our,” and “Jomer” is a Spanish articulation pleasantry on “Homer” (in Spanish, J is articulated as an English H).

Viaje misterioso de Nuestro storyline: Marge’s apprehensions that Homer will humiliate her at the yearly Springfield Chili Cook-Off once more are reaffirmed when in the wake of tasting different flat examples of stew, he goes over a strength made by Chief Wiggum bound with stimulating Guatemalan peppers.

The stew sends him on a hallucinogenic excursion where he meets a fanciful Coyote soul direct (voiced by down-home music legend Johnny Cash), who urges him to discover his perfect partner, making him question whether he should’ve ever hitched Marge in any case.

5. Itchy & Scratchy and Poochie Show

• Season 6
  
  

This scene from the Heavenly 6th season sees the Simpson family head to an amusement park named after the two ruthlessly vicious characters included on Bart and Lisa’s number one TV show, facilitated by Krusty the Clown.

It’s a parody of Disneyland, with the recreation center’s animatronic at last turning on their visitors. It also offers one of the most interesting brief scenes in the show’s experiences.

4. One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish

• Season 2
  
  

The scene: After eating toxic fugu fish at a Japanese café, Homer is allowed just 22 hours to live.

He embarks to tick off his can list before bidding farewell for good.

Why it’s truly outstanding: Who said The Simpsons needs to stimulate your amusing unresolved issue with an incredible scene?

In one of the saddest 22 minutes in TV history, Homer’s different goodbyes to every one of his family pull at the heartstrings yet also acquire some extreme giggles through the tears.

Including Homer showing Bart how to ‘shave,’ notwithstanding draining like a stuck pig. Everything paves the way to, for my cash, the best end joke in the show’s set of experiences.

Homer mysteriously endures and promises to make every moment count. We end him stuffing his face on his sofa while watching bowling, everything being equal. Splendid.

3. Marge Be Not Proud

• Season 7
  
  

When author Microphone Scully was a child, a guard at Bradlees retail store in West Springfield, Massachusetts, saw him stealing a 1910 Fruitgum record. His greatest worry was that his mom would resolve. She never did; however, almost 10 years later, he leads his guilt into a Simpsons episode.

“Marge Be Not Proud” focuses on the fallout from Bart’s unsuccessful setup to steal a duplicate of a Mortal Kombat.

He spent the primary Christmas episode since the series premiered attempting to create it up to spread the World Health Organization before her son earned back her trust and distanced herself from her Special Little Guy.

The funny, gruff guard World Health Organization catches Baronet is voiced by show roughneck Lawrence Tierney. “If I needed smoke blown up in my ass,” he tells Baronet, he thought hasn’t returned clean, “I’d be a reception with cigarettes.

In response, seasons seven and eight co-showrunner Bill Sharpshooter mentioned that govt producer James L. Brooks didn’t tolerate network interference”.

2. Homerpalooza

• Season 7

The Simpsons is broadcast; however, over time, it’s taken on a task unlike that of weekday Night Live — an establishment expected to inquire into the state of culture.

That’s what “Homerpalooza” is. Homer becomes a district of traveling music pageant, Hullabalooza … as a bloke, the World Health Organization takes a cannonball to his abdomen.

The episode measures each narrating the story of Homer’s need to be cool and create fun of what was apparent.

Take a scene: Homer gets on the stage, and a shirtless person from the audience comments to his pal in the obligatory sarcastic tone, “Here comes that cannonball guy.

He’s cool.” His pal asks, “Are you being saturnine, dude?” He responded, “I don’t even understand any longer.”

1. The Day the Earth Stood Cool

• Season 24
  
  

The Day the Earth Stood Cool and “Homerpalooza” square measure cousins of types. Each episode influences the choice culture of the day to show Homer that he has aged out of connection.

Aired in late 2012, “The Day the Planet Stood Cool” is the show’s hippy episode. Hipster jokes weren’t the most influential record before this episode.

However, The Simpsons were ready to breathe life into them. First, it helps that jokes were unmoving in characters and Homer and Margarin’s insecurities.

The jokes square measure spot-on; in a scene within which the European nation attempts to mediate the conflict between Homer and Armisen’s character, Homer goes, “Can we tend to a minimum of conforming to each hate, Flanders?”

To that, Armisen replies, “I like him. He talks in rhyme and owns an arbitrary store in a failing mall: He’s just like the dada in a very Wes Anderson film.”

Over twenty-five years, The Simpsons has taken the duty of culture critic seriously. Nothing gets by it.
