300 Episodes of the Simpsons

Posted by Hemos on from the eat-my-shorts dept.

circletimessquare writes "As we approach 300 Episodes of the Simpsons, Entertainment Weekly tries to pick the 25 best episodes of The Simpsons (and the one episode they consider the worst). They do a pretty good job. But since "best of" lists like this one are always rife with debate and contention, I can't think of a better place than Slashdot to send up EW (pun partially intended)."

  1. No more deer for a week by Elvisisdead · · Score: 5, Funny

    Homer: "OK, no more deer for a week"
    Marge: " Homer, did you say deer or beer?"
    Homer: "Deer."

  2. What about ... by simong_oz · · Score: 5, Funny

    hmmm ... seen the list, and while I agree with some (Mr Plow, Monorail, Homer Badman) it misses out some of my all-time favourites

    Deep Space Homer
    the one where Homer gets fat to work from home
    the episode where Bart wins the elephant
    any episode where Barney is sober

    and now for some classic simpsons quotes (all atributed to Homer of course - who else!):

    "I'm a white male, aged 18 to 49. *Everybody* cares what I think!"
    "Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try."
    "I know I'm not usually a praying man, but if you're up there, Please Superman help me!"
    "Homer no function beer well without."
    "Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals... except the weasel."
    "To alcohol - the cause of, and solution to all of life's problems."

    and my all-time favourite ...

    "Maybe for once, someone will call me 'sir' without adding 'You're making a scene'." - Homer J Simpson

    "Because it's there." - George Mallory, when asked why he wanted to climb Mt Everest, March 18, 1923 (New York Times)
  3. Simpsons is dead in the water if EW is covering it by mattbot+5000 · · Score: 5, Funny

    The fact that The Simpsons is getting hype from Entertainment Weekly further proves this show lost its satrical bite (and relevance) a LONG time ago.
