Scorpio: "Which do you prefer Homer, Italy or France?"
Homer: "Italy"
Scorpio: [laughs wryly and activates doomseday device] No one EVER picks France.
also the Loch Ness Monster episode:
Professor Frink: [reading data from his Monster Detector]OHMYGOD! An enormous amphibious lifeform is coming right at us... it's.. it's.. it's on my shoe!
[looks down, and see's frog on his shoe]
Wait a minute.. this isn't the Monster Detector.. it's the Frog Exaggarator."
fucking cracks me up

The lord of the flies spoof. Ralph W. eats "oozing" berries and exclaims "tastes like burning" while clutching his stomach.
One of the worst episodes was when we find out that principal skinner is not the reall principle skinner. Who came up with that idea?

Similarly, "The Principal and the Pauper" aka the "real" Skinner is kclassikc. While its ironized self-parodying may have been a jumping off point for sharks, it's hard to overlook the fact that this particular episode is FUNNY.

xpost - the factory bits are charming JUNIOR vice president ken, but the a-story is SO HORRENDOUSLY MALIGNANTLY WRETCHED that it washes away any affection to be had for the whole episode.

Oh, and Tito Puente. And when Homer plays 'Birth of the Cool' to get Lisa's attention. And the "It's Raining Men" incident.

---------------
The two klowns moan at the thought, but they try it, Krusty riding, Homer perched on top. In his fear and in his attempt to hold tight, Homer covers Krusty's eyes with his hands. Krusty admonishes him, but they miss the loop entirely and ride up a pool cue right onto the pool table. They ride straight into the racked-up Boston balls -- and sink every one of them. The Italians are visibly impressed.
The two klowns jump across a gap onto the bar; Homer's head plays "The Godfather" theme music on the wine glasses that dangle from the roof. "Ah!" gasp the Italians. Krusty sees that the part of the bar that lifts up so the bartender can get out is raised. Thinking quickly, he knocks it closed with seltzer. The Italians even applaud.
Vittorio: [moans] Ah, but without the loop it is nothing," [cocking his gun again]
Krusty and Homer fly off the bar, straight towards the loop, and whizz around and around it many times. They fly off together and skillfully land in the "Ta da!" pose; the miniature bike flies towards them, and Krusty, although he opens his mouth to catch it, is beaten to the punch by Homer, who swallows it and makes the bell ring by opening his mouth.

Lisa: How many roads must a man walk down, before you can call him a man?
Homer: SEVEN!
Lisa: Dad, it's a rhetorical question.
Homer: Rhetorically....EIGHT!
Lisa: Do you even know what rhetorical means?
Homer: DO I KNOW WHAT RHETORICAL MEANS?!
The ending also invariably makes me cry like an injured child.

yeah, that's one of the few "simpsons with heart" episode that actually works. i'm also glad they didn't bring homer's mom back after that episode (or did they? please don't tell me they did), it makes it all the more powerful.
