worst simpsons episode

[whorehay]

so which episode do you think is the worst?

although alot of the celebrity cameo and early episodes rank up there, my all time worst episode is the michael jackson "lisa it's your birthday" episode.

i despise that one

[JohnnyCash]

Any of the shows with Sideshow Bob. It might just be my hatred of Kelsey Grammer though.

Big thanks to Monsterone.

[WindowSill]

Agreed, the Lisa Michael Jackson one was afwul. A lot of the older episodes had plots that well...wouldnt pass today, so those are pretty bad also, plus the drawings are bad. The older one where they go camping and Maggie is with the bears sucked and they seem to replay that one a lot compared to the other older ones.

The one where Homer buys Marge a bowling ball and she almost cheats on him. Just awful.

I prefer the crappy unrealism of today over that. So so much funnier, which is what a cartoon should be about.

I'd say season 4-5 was where they really turned it around. The past few seasons have been so-so, but it seems like they're getting back in their groove this season.

"Who shot Mr.Burns" got bad after seeing it over 30 times

Or when Lisa babysits Bart and Maggie and Bart nearly kills himself falling down the stairs

i agree with all of those. and also that it seemed to turn around in the 4th season.

i might actually hate the bleeding gums episode more than the michael jackson one. its just that bad

[JesterOfSadness]

Lisa meets Bleeding Gums Murphy, Krusty is framed & teh escaped con babysitter.



Holy shit I forgot about that con babysitter episode, that one sucked, as well as Bleeding Gums Murphy

Oh also any of the Christmas episodes ESPECIALLY the one where Bart tries to steal the video game

Better yet, Just swallow some jacks-CM Punk

[WindowSill]

Wow I just realized that there are quite a few bad episodes. I havent seen one episode listed on here that I disagree with.

Any episode where they did the finger under the collar/Nervous grunt bit. They did that in 8 episodes straight one season.

But I have to object to this thread on principle. Hey Mojo and M1, lets start a 'even the worst episode of the Simpsons is better than 99.5 percent of all TV ever created' thread.

I totally agree. I'm shocked to see that so many people dislike the earlier episodes. I think the worst was the most obvious: the horse racing episode which intorduced us to "Worst episode ever". I think the writers included that just to cover their asses for such a shit job.

Life on the Fast Lane (a.k.a. Jacques to be Wild) might have my favourite line ever:


Marge: What's Brunch?

Jacques: You'd love it, It's not quite breakfast, it's not quite lunch, but it comes with a slice of cantaloupe at the end. You don't get completely what you would at breakfast, but you get a good meal!

Marge: I don't think so.

Jacques: Marge, darling. There are ten pins in my heart, you've knocked over eight. Won't you please pick up that spare?

Marge: [hesitantly] Mmmm, mmmmm... All right!

Other great lines from the first season:

Homer: "You mean all white with pink eyes?"


Call of the Simpsons:

Homer: Heh heh, that's nice, Lisa. But we're not in astronomy class. We're in the woods.

Krusty is framed

Personally, I think it's one of the BEST ones. It may be the episode that got me hooked on the show.

It's hard for me to pick a "bad" episode because there will be a couple of lines or scenes I'll find funny. But, in keeping with the spirit of the thread, I never really liked "The Lemon Tree" epsiode.

YES. I was living in Paris at the time, and my first taste of the show was a tape of the first 8 or 9 episodes sent to us, and this episode was the third one I saw. The first two left me sorta "eh," but something about "Krusty Gets Busted" just clicked and I've been hooked ever since. Even converted my parents at the same time, who were set in stone that cartoons were only for kids. Now I think my dad is a bigger "Simpsons" fan these days than I am.

It's hard for me to pick a "bad" episode because there will be a couple of lines or scenes I'll find funny. But, in keeping with the spirit of the thread, I never really liked "The Lemon Tree" epsiode.

No, but it makes me think of the gag with Lisa and the peach tree from another episode, which makes me laugh because I had a girlfriend who would "sing-talk" things like Lisa does as she dances around the peach tree, so I guess by default "The Lemon Tree" tickles my funny bone, three times removed or something.

ever have Kosher pizza? I'd assume it'd be a lot like Kosher sex.

I think this thread is pretty pointless. I agree wholeheartedly with Freakshow. All Simpsons episodes have been better than at least 90% of what's on now. Although I never liked the "Bart stealing the videogame" one. I loved the Lemon Tree. (great haircuts)

[whorehay]

the point of this "pointless thread" was to see what the worst episode was. we all know it's a great show. but which of the greatest do you dread seeing.

Okay, just making sure.

And worst episode ever would have to be one involving the Comic Book Guy. Where he has a heart attack, lets Bart and Millhouse take over running the shop, and starts dating Mrs. Skinner.

I always liked the Lemon Tree one. I'm very proud of my hometown and into that whole Frank Capra genre that glorifies the American hometown so maybe it appeals to that side of me.

I'm seeing a lot of the episodes that I like the most being listed here. Hopefully nobody says the Softball episode or the one where Homer finds the sugar.

All right. Last night's 8:00 one was the worst ever. I don't know what they were thinking. And I don't think seeing again would help. It wouldn't hold up the worst of the clip shows.


The one at 9:30, though, was pretty good, for a newer one.

You beat me to it. That episode just plain SUCKED! Someone should tell Groening to save the politcal humor for people who can pull it off (South Park) and stick to Homer doing dumb shit.

When the Simpsons is good, it's great. When it is like that episode its painful.

That was the political one, right? I thought it was alright for the first ten minutes, then it took a huge nosedive.

Patches is right, though. South Park seems to be the only toon out there that can handle current events / politics well and maintain the amusement.
