Hi!

Please post your favorite top 5 Simpsons moments/ and or episodes. Just in case this has been done before, this is the July '06 edition.

Mine:

1. Dr. Zaius song in "Stop the planet of the apes, I want to get off" musical in the episode "Selma the Fish"

2. The speech Mr. Burns gives Stephan Spuielbergo in "A Star is Burns" (The film contest episode)

3. "Trilogy of Error" episode or the speech Milhouse gives in "Radioactive Man": "But we already did it. It took seven hours but we did it. Its done."

4. The "Computer Whore Menacing Shoes" episode when they go to "The Island".

5. "Homer the Heretic" episode part when he is at home enjoying skipping church or the part when Homer is singing along to "Two Tickets to Paradise" in "Homer Loves Flanders"

Now, post yours!

I thought the clip of Disney Epcot Centre was pretty funny with the electric car propaganda.
"I'm an electric car.. I can't go very fast.. or very far.. and if you drive me.. people will think you're gay".

I'd take any episode pre-season 10 over the newer episodes. They've been going downhill for a long time. The old ones were so subtle and clever. The new ones are all crude puns and obvious jokes. They've lost a lot of the charm of the old ones.

He finds a packet of instant gravy powder at the Nuclear Power Plant parking lot and picks it up and says "mmmMmmm Gravy".

This little "joke" was competely independant of the plot/story.

Last night's rerun contained a gem. It's the episode where Lisa wants to see the Isis Exhibit at the Springfield Museum, but has no way of getting there. So Homer lets her take the bus and she gets lost. Homer goes to help her and ends up in a cherry picker, out of control, rolling down the streets of Springfield.

In his panic, Homer says: "I am not much for prayer, but if you are up there, help me, Superman!"

My fav episode has always been the lemon tree one.

Man, the writers were all working overtime on the hilarity that day.

That is definitely one of the best. So many great quotes.

"so this is what it sounds like when doves cry!!!"

In no particular order:

How about the episode when Marge gets real estate license and sells Flanders the "murder house"?

"Look, mommy, I'm the jealous jockey!"
"and I"m a torso!!!"

Or when Homer becomes the food critic.

"I'll have you know I wandered off from THE TOUR!"

"this review is ridiculous. It makes several threatening remarks about the UN and ends with you repeating 'Screw Flanders'."
"But its so hard to get to 300 words"

And Homer gaining weight to go on disability is a classic.

And lots of the Treehouse of Horrors, especially the election conspiracy with Kang and Kodos.

"what can you do? its a 2 party system!"

The best part for me in the lemon tree is when Milhouse imagines how he will be invisible when he wears the army pattern outfit.

LOL, Lemon Tree definitely has the best Milhous quotes.

I don't remember which episode its in but remember "Like the time you killed my goldfish and tried to convince me that I never had a goldfish? Then why'd I have the bowl, Bart? WHY'D I HAVE THE BOWL??"

It's the little moments - like Ralph's "I bent my wookie" or "Super Nintendo Chalmers" that I always find so funny.

Same here. I love play on words that they do.

Also the store signs always kill me.... "Snippy longstocking", "Goodie New Shoes" etc.

simpsons had a good 5 seasons of hilarity (and thats being generous) family guy is already washed up recycling old joke after old joke. therefore, IMHO, simpsons > family guy.

although ive laughed alot at family guy too..

who here has a link to the mad tv simpsons/family guy cover?

I haven't seen that one in a while. Good stuff.

I'm gonna have to netflix the DVD sets soon. I didn't bother before because I see reruns on TV so often, but these days even the reruns are from the newer, unfunnier seasons.

I just saw this episode and this line made me laugh for at least 5 minutes:

Superintendent Chalmers: Oh I have had it, I have had it with this school, Skinner. The low test scores. Class after class of ugly, ugly children.

Burns: Some men hunt for sport,
Others hunt for food,
The only thing I'm hunting for,
Is an outfit that looks good...

See my vest, see my vest,
Made from real gorilla chest,
Feel this sweater, there's no better,
Than authentic Irish setter.

See this hat, 'twas my cat,
My evening wear - vampire bat,
These white slippers are albino
African endangered rhino.

Grizzly bear underwear,
Turtles' necks, I've got my share,
Beret of poodle, on my noodle
It shall rest,

Try my red robin suit,
It comes one breast or two,
See my vest, see my vest,
See my vest.

Like my loafers? Former gophers -
It was that or skin my chauffeurs,
But a greyhound fur tuxedo
Would be best,

So let's prepare these dogs,

Mrs. Potts: Kill two for matching clogs,

Burns: See my vest, see my vest,
Oh please, won't you see my vest.
