Just curious, my favorite would have to be "Lemon of Troy" which is the one where the Shelbyville kids steal the Springfield lemon tree.

Also, for anyone who cares at the site WatchTvSitcoms.com they have all of the episodes for free to watch. Including lots of other shows too. (Good quality, just takes a long time to upload)

Truman Capote · 01-11-2008, 01:55 PM

"Homer to the Max," where Homer changes his name to Max Power. but that's only because it's the last one i have seen. there are too many good ones to say for sure.

Spartacus81 · 01-11-2008, 01:57 PM

Last Exit to Springfield. This is the one where the power plant goes on strike to get a dental plan and Homer becomes president of the Union. Meanwhile, Lisa needs braces.

Lemon of Troy would be in my top ten. Great line from that episode: Shelbyville man #1: "Sounds like Springfields got a bit of a discipline problem." Shalbyville man #2 "That's probably why we beat them in football nearly half the time!"

Martin: How about this, guys? Bart can have it Mondays and Thursdays, Milhouse will get it Tuesdays and Fridays, and yours truly will take it Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Bart: Perfect!
Milhouse: Wait a minute! What about Sundays?
Bart: [suspiciously] Yeah, what about Sundays?
Martin: Well, Sunday possession will be determined by a random number generator. I will take the digits 1 through 3, Milhouse will have 4 through 6, and Bart will have 7 through 9.
Bart: Perfect!
Milhouse: Wait a minute! What about 0?
Bart: [suspiciously] Yeah, what about 0?
Milhouse: Yeah!
Martin: Well, in the unlikely event of a 0, possession will be determined by Rock Scissors Paper competition, best 3 out of 5. How's that?
Bart: Oh, okay.
Milhouse: Yeah, all right.

"Dude, Where's My Ranch" from season 14 has to be my favorite. It is packed with funny all the way through.

Here's the synopsis:

Homer writes a song about how much he hates Flanders. When it is a success, the hype becomes too much for the Simpsons, and so they take a vacation at a ranch, where Lisa develops a crush on a farmhand. Meanwhile, Homer & Bart help the Native Americans get their land back from beavers.

Season 8 - Episode 2
"You Only Move Twice"

It's the one with Hank Scorpio.

Quote:

Hank: Hey, look at my feet. You like those moccasins? Look in your closet; there's a pair for you. Don't like them? Then neither do I! [throws them out] Get the hell outta here! Ever see a guy say good-bye to a shoe?

Homer: [chuckles] Yes, once.

Quote:

Bart: So, what are you in for?

Gordy: [slowly and strangely sounding] I moved here from Canada, and they think I'm slow, eh?

Dot: I fell off the jungle gym and when I woke up I was in here.

Warren: I start fires.

Sparty1159 · 01-11-2008, 02:04 PM

I think it is called "Wild Bart's be Broken." Anyway it's the one where the curfew is enacted by Springfield because Homer, Barney, Carl, and Lenny destroy Springfield Elementary by driving through it after the Isotopes win whatever minor league championship they're in. Homer is awakened by Lisa the next morning after partying, with the car in the backyard.

"It all started at the beginning of that turbulent decade known as the 80s. Those were idealistic days! The candidacy of John Anderson; the rise of Supertramp; it was an exciting time be young!"

85Grad · 01-11-2008, 02:04 PM

"Bart Sells his Soul" might not be the funniest, but still a favorite. I once taught a six-week adult Sunday School class called "The Gospel According to the Simpsons," based on the book of the same name. That episode was prominently featured.

cooljords · 01-11-2008, 02:05 PM

Boooooooooooooooooooooooourns!

The Simpsons watch TV. A commercial comes on. A man barbeques a soccer ball, and throws it towards the camera.

MAN
Open wide for some soccer!

Several soccer clips follow, with a voice over.

TV ANNOUNCER
The Continental Soccer Association is coming to Springfield! It's all here - fast-kicking, low scoring, and ties? You bet!

BART
Hey Dad, how come you've never taken us to see a soccer game?

HOMER
I... don't know.

TV ANNOUNCER
You'll see all your favorite soccer stars. Like Adiaga! Adiaga two! Badiaga! Aruglia! And Pizzoza!

HOMER
Oh, I've never heard of those people.

TV ANNOUNCER
And they'll all be signing autographs.

HOMER
Woohoo!

TV ANNOUNCER
This match will determine once and for all which nation is the greatest on earth - Mexico or Portugal!

BART & LISA
Can we go Dad, please Dad, Please Dad, can we go Dad, huh, huh, please?

HOMER
Yes, yes! Oh god, yes!!

The Simpsons arrive at the soccer stadium.

HOMER
Oh, I'll kill myself if Portugal doesn't win.

MARGE
It's hard to believe this used to be an internment camp.

BART
Yo, Paella man! Wing one up here!

The man throws him a bowl of paella, and Bart manages to catch it. Lisa notices Pele walking onto the pitch

LISA
Hey look! It's Pele!

PELE
Pele is king of the soccer field. To be king of your kitchen, use Crestfield wax paper.

He is handed a bag of money and walks off. The game starts, and the crowd cheers. The Mexican team kicks off, and pass it between them, again and again... and again... The crowd becomes quiet.

HOMER
Boring!

KRUSTY
Come on, you schnorrers, do something!

KENT BROCKMAN
(in a commentary booth, bored) Half back passes to the center, back to the wing, back to the center. Center holds it. Holds it. Holds it...

MEXICAN COMMENTATOR
(excitedly) Half back passes to center, back to wing, back to center! Center holds it! Holds it! Holds it!!

SIDESHOW MEL
I can't bear this any longer, I'm leaving.

MOE
Hey, not before me you ain't.

FLANDERS
Now, now, there's plenty of exits for everyone.

MOE
Oh, that's it, you're dead, pal!

SKINNER
Hey now, that's uncalled for.

LENNY
Shut your hole, Skinner!

He punches Skinner, knocking him into Barney, spilling his beer. Barney gets mad, and dives headfirst into the people fighting, knocking them over. Groundskeeper Willy and his friends watch from nearby.

WILLY
Ach! You call this a soccer riot? Come on, boys, let's take 'em to school!

The Scots join the fighting, and the riot escalates.

MARGE
Homer, we've got to get out of here!

HOMER
But I wanna do some rioting! (he pushes one of the Scotsmen)

SCOTSMAN
Jobbers cognots, ya mucker!

HOMER
All done!

The family run off. Outside, the whole town has engaged in the riot.

The Simpsons watch the TV news.

KENT BROCKMAN
What began as a traditional soccer riot, has escalated into a city-wide orgy of destruction. (He ducks to avoid something being thrown at him.) Reacting swiftly, Mayor Quimby has declared "mob rule", so, for the next several years, it's every family for itself.

Snake walks out of Ned Flanders' house with a television set.

FLANDERS
Excuse me sir, I think you've got my TV. Sir!

LISA
Somebody's got to stop them!

BART
Let's wait until they burn the school down!

MARGE
Oh my god! Homer, they're right next door!

HOMER
Relax, Marge, if someone tries to get in here, my burglar alarm will let us know.

Homer indicates a contraption by the front door. A fishing line attached to the door holds an alarm clock above a goldfish bowl. Somebody tries the door handle. Marge gasps.

HOMER
(relaxed) Watch the fish, Marge.

A hand reaches through the mail slot and grabs the fish.

MARGE
D'oh...

Good call. "Dental plan!" "Lisa needs braces!" (repeat 10 times)

I don't think I can pick a single favorite episode, but Homer Goes to College and Brother from the Same Planet are in my top 5.

Simpson Safari and Simpson Spinoff Spectacular (especially Chief Wiggum, PI) my top two.

That's got one of my favorite lines, when they're sitting down at the Isotopes game. Homer is already pissed and yells "Hurry up and lose so we can go home!"

Spartan Punk · 01-11-2008, 02:12 PM

I have 2 that come to mind:

El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer (The Mysterious Voyage of Homer) - the one where Homer eats an insanity pepper and goes on his voyage to find his soulmate.

Viva Ned Flanders - Ned and Homer go to Vegas and get married:

Ned: How do you do it, Homer? How do you silence that little
voice that says, 'think'?
Homer: You mean Lisa?
Ned: Oh, no, I mean common sense.
Homer: Oh, that. That can be treated with our good friend alcohol!
You might want to write that down. Where the hell's your
notebook?
Ned: You threw it out the ...
Homer: Never mind, just pay attention. Slave girl! Oh, slave girl!
Amber: More libations, my imperial conqueror?
Homer: Huh?
Ginger: [annoyed] More booze!
Homer: Oh, yeah. Two more of these, please. And for you, Ned?
Ned: I'll have a Shirley ... no, a Virgin ... no! Make it a
children's ... Oh, what the heck, you only live once. Give
me a white wine spritzer!

Awesome Robot With Lasers · 01-11-2008, 02:16 PM

Everything from Season 4. Everything. Monorail, Lisa the Beauty Queen, I Love Lisa, Treehouse of Horror 3...my favorite season ever.

I also loved Homer at Bat from Season 3.

18.9 · 01-11-2008, 02:19 PM

Too many to choose from, but "Bart vs. Australia" was awesome.

A friend from Australia hates that episode. I love it.

Marge: I'll just have a cup of coffee.
Bartender: Beer, it is.
Marge: No, I said "coffee".
Bartender: "Beer"?
Marge: [slowly] Coff-ee.
Bartender: Be-er?
Marge: C -- O --
Bartender: B -- E --

Agreed. It's the only season I've bought on DVD.

SpartanJimbo · 01-11-2008, 02:42 PM

I love "Homer Gets a Gun", as well as "Boy Scouts n' the Hood" where Bart and Milhouse drink the super squishy made entirely out of syrup.

However, my absolute favorite is when Homer mistakes Mr. Burns for an alien that wanders through the forest (it's called "The Springfield Files"). I will always remember the scene where Moe and his bar buddies are trying to smuggle Shamu the Whale past Mulder and Scully.

SpartanStu · 01-11-2008, 02:43 PM

Hands down my favorite episode is when Bart and Lisa go to Military School. The Secret War of Lisa Simpson

It starts with the school bus parked outside of the police station. Wiggum strolls in to unlock the door. "Oh God, it is getting harder and harder to get here by 10am." Barts teacher gives Wiggum a dirty look. Next Wiggum checks the 911 answering machine with a multitude of messages. "Can't these people take the law into their own hands?!?!?"
