Antlion Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Is there *anyone* who think that there's even been a contender for "best episode" in the last fifteen years? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanmistermustard Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Is there *anyone* who think that there's even been a contender for "best episode" in the last fifteen years? Would find it difficult enough to come up with a watchable episode from the fifteen years never mind best.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Homer goes to Prep School is a cracking episode. You get about one a series nowadays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antlion Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Would find it difficult enough to come up with a watchable episode from the fifteen years never mind best.. The recipe for a modern Simpsons episode: As long a couch gag as possible (to make up for the lack of material in the episode) At least three musical montages (it means you don't have to have dialogue) Homer whisper/shouting (people just love it) Flanders saying something bigoted in rhyme (it's all he does, you see) Hilarious puns (let's scrap Malibu Stacey and Duff and replace them with "Sparbie" and "Spudweiser", because SPRINGFIELD, get it?!) Show something from the POV of something pointless and/or inanimate. Include as many out-of-date pop culture references as possible in a non-ironic way (is Rebecca Black still a thing? Book her. In fact, let's do a whole opening with a Simpsonised version of "Friday"!) Celebrities playing themselves, always (one line will do, especially if they can't act) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTG Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I pretty much switch over to something else if the TV screen in the opening sequence doesn't have rounded edges. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 The Simpsons ended in 1998, so I don't know what you're all talking about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellAnderson Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Boys and girls, Mrs Krabappel, I come before you today with a riddle that has plagued mankind for centuries: what has four legs and ticks? A walking clock? A walking clock!! I'd wager he has some variety of walking clock in that box! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtual Insanity Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 There was a great article on Deadspin about Homer at Bat a few years ago: http://deadspin.com/5886723/the-making-of-homer-at-the-bat-the-episode-that-conquered-prime-time-20-years-ago-tonight 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 There was a great article on Deadspin about Homer at Bat a few years ago: http://deadspin.com/5886723/the-making-of-homer-at-the-bat-the-episode-that-conquered-prime-time-20-years-ago-tonight Was amused at this intro to a race report in this week's Autosport magazine: "FOR PASCAL WEHRLEIN TO NOT WIN the DTM title at Hockenheim, he probably would have had to suffer a mishap akin to Monty Burns’s crack team of Springfield Powerplant softball ringers. Or, if not spend the weekend clucking like a chicken or dragging possessions out of a burning house, completely forget how to get to Hockenheim." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoRaj Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I think I would choose Trash of the Titans or Marge vs the Monorail if I had to. I would genuinely have to think long and hard to work out a top 5 or even 10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Someone (not me) should probably do a poll like those top movie ones. Any volunteers? (definitely not me) If I was to do this, would there be enough demand?... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Naitch Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 If I was to do this, would there be enough demand?... Yeah, I'd definitely go for it. Will take an age to whittle it down to just 10 though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
