"You've stood in my way long enough - I'm going to clown college! Wow, I didn't think anyone thought he was going to say that..."
The weirdest one is probably the Grimey episode which still freaks me out.
As for the most personally affecting - I've always loved the one where Ralph falls in love with Lisa, just because it's like poking an old wound with a sharp stick. Runner-up, for the same reason, is the one where Milhouse's parents divorce. Can you lend me a feeling?

Homer's enemy (the frank grimes episode) Marge vs. the monorail Two bad neighbors (the george bush ep) Tree house of horror VII, I know that special episodes don't count but I can't resist the cheap gags and one liners, "I bet you've never seen you're own face in a mirror.", follwed by a punch. And "Bob dole doesn't need this." (a personal fave) Finally all of season four, pure gold.

The one where Bart adopts a new father is also neat.
Homerphobia: for the steel factory.

Homer gains 60 lbs to get on disability. That's probably my #2.
My #1 has GOT to be the one where Homer stays home from church. Someone mentioned the moon waffles upthread.

in fact he gets her booked on yaa-hoo!, an amazing parody of hee-haw. took me three times watching the episode to appreciate this joke: "yaa-hoo, starring in alphabetical order, yodeling zeke"

also, the early Marge vs Itchy & Scratchy ep was grebt since it was the first time a younger me had ever heard the opening phrase of Beethoven's 6th, which has since become my _other_ fave classical piece.

it certainly is, i just think i saw that particular episode too much and got a bit sick of it - so many classic bits all the same tho...
― stevem (blueski), Friday, 4 July 2003 21:28 (twenty years ago) link
the one where Bart meets Jessica...
the one where Marge has a gambling problem (oh my god, the REAL best episode ever)
but this tossing out of episodes at random just highlights the futility of this thread ever further

(even though my favourite episode is probably the one with Lisa and the fortune-teller, or when Homer sues the Church and gets, er, the church - "awww, he thinks he's papal!" - best in-joke EVAH!)

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
