Okay next ten to vote for. It's a tough one alright. Only five will enter the next round. Which will they be, who will win the million dollars?

22 Short Films About Springfield : Bart and Milhouse wonder if anything interesting ever happens in Springfield. Roll on a series of shorts featuring Springfield residents. While Lisa gets gum in her hair, Snake and Wiggum are caught in a Pulp Fiction-style situation.

Memorable Quotes:

"Good lord, what is happening in there?"
"Aurora Borealis."
"Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your kitchen?"
"Yes."
"May I see it?"
"No."

"You took four minutes of my life and I want them back. Oh I'd only waste them anyway."

The Computer Wore Menace Shoes: Under the alias Mr. X, Homer creates a web site full of damaging gossip about the townspeople. However, he soon stumbles upon a terrible government secret.

Memorable Quotes:

"Who brought us here?"
"I don't know."
"Did you bring us here?"
"No."

"I wish Mr. X were here!"
"Oh, I don't know Carl, he might be closer than you think!"
"Are you him? Are you Mr. X?"
"No!"
"Ah, but you talked in that real sly voice. Hey, hey, everybody! Homer is Mr. X!"
"I am not!...Or am I?"
"Are you?"
"No!"

So It's Come To This: A Simpsons Clip Show: When Homer gets seriously injured from Bart's April Fool's joke, the family reminisce about past experiences.

Memorable Quotes:

"You're going down, Homer. I'm gonna fool you!
"You talk better than you fool."
"I'll fool you up real nice."
"You couldn't fool your mother on the foolingest day of your life if you had an electrified fooling machine."

"Uh oh, I see no signs of life. Just to be sure we'd better pull the plug."

Kamp Krusty: Bart and Lisa spend six weeks at Kamp Krusty, however, the camp is not what it seems.

Memorable Quotes:

"Oh dad! You're the best father a boy could ever have."
"Thanks son. Now you've got little hands.. could you reach under the mower and pull out that skate?"

"Don't we get to roast marshmallows?"
"Shut up and eat your pinecone!"

Homer the Heretic: After skipping church one Sunday, Homer has the best day of his life and decides to start his own religion.

Memorable Quotes:

"Kids, let me tell you about another so-called wicked guy. He had long hair and some wild ideas. He didn't always do what other people thought was right. And that man's name was... I forget. But the point is... I forget that, too. Marge, you know who I'm talking about. He used to drive that blue car?"

"Oh, the song. The song. When the fire starts to burn, There's a lesson you must learn. Something something, then you'll see: You'll avoid catastrophe! D'oh!"

Marge vs the Monorail: After Mr. Burns is fined $3 million for improper disposal of nuclear waste, the town is conned into buying a unsafe Monorail.

Memorable Quotes:

"Simpson! Homer Simpson! He's the greatest guy in history. From the! Town of Springfield! He's about to hit a chestnut tree! (Screams) "

"Homer, there's a man here who thinks he can help you!"
"Is it Batman?"
"No, he's a scientist."
"Batman's a scientist."
"It's not Batman!"

Deep Space Homer: NASA decides to send the 'average man' into space after seeing their ratings decline, and Homer is picked to be that man.

Memorable Quotes:

"Ladies and gentlemen, uh, we've just lost the picture, but what we've seen speaks for itself. The Corvair spacecraft has apparently been taken over- 'conquered' if you will- by a master race of giant space ants. It's difficult to tell from this vantage point whether they will consume the captive Earthmen or merely enslave them. One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the ants will soon be here. And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords. I'd like to remind them as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves."

"The only danger is if they send us to that terrible Planet of the Apes. Wait a minute... Statue of Liberty... that was our planet! You maniacs! You blew it up! **** you! **** you all to hell!"

Homer Loves Flanders: After Ned Flanders invites Homer to a football game, Homer becomes Ned's best friend. Ned, however, doesn't like the attention.

Memorable Quotes:

"Oh, I guess it's time for me to duck again."
"No! I want everyone to know that-- (yelling out window) this is Ned Flanders, my friend!"
"What'd he say?"
"I dunno. Something about being gay."

"What's so special about this game anyway? It's just another chapter in the pointless rivalry between Springfield and Shelbyville. They built a mini-mall, so we built a bigger mini-mall. They made the world's largest pizza, so we burnt down their city hall."

Boy-Scoutz N the Hood: After a wild night high on sugar, Bart wakes up to find that he joined a boy scout troop.

Memorable Quotes:

"Aw, twenty dollars? I wanted a peanut!"
(Homer's brain) "Twenty dollars can buy many peanuts."
"Explain how!"
(Homer's brain) "Money can be exchanged for goods and services."

"Marge, don't discourage the boy. Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals!...Except the weasels."

Itchy & Scratchy Land : The family take a trip to Itchy & Scratchy Land, the 'violentest place on Earth'.

Memorable Quotes:

"Listen up! Elementary chaos theory states that all robots will turn on their masters, with the pushing and the shoving and the biting with the metal teeth."
"How long do we have, Professor?"
"My calculations state that the robots won't go berserk for twenty-four hours."
(the robots go berserk)
"Oops. I forgot to carry the one."

"There's no need to murmur, ma'am. Here at Itchy and Scratchy Land, we're just as concerned with violence as you are. That's why we're always careful to show the consequences of deadly mayhem, so that we may educate as well as horrify."
"When do you show the consequences? On TV, that mouse pulled out that cat's lungs and played them like a bagpipe, but in the next scene, the cat was breathing comfortably."
"Just like in real life."

You put all the best episodes in one poll. That's just silly.

And it's a toss up between Homer the Heretic, Boy Scoutz in da Hood and 22 Short Films About Springfield.

Damn you. Why did you have to make this poll so hard. So many great episodes...can't...choose...just...one.

I went with Kamp Krusty, although Homer the Heretic came at a close second.

I went with 22 Short Films, only because the Aurora Borealis line is one of my all-time favorites.

Mr X. sucked. Monorail all the way.

22 but Monorail and Itchy and Scratchy Land made it close.

I voted for Itchy and Scratchy Land because "Pinitchio" is so hilarious. "I promise I will never hurt you" and his nose grows so fast it impales Scratchy through the eyeball.

The monorail one is great too because it was written by Conan O'Brien. :)

I'm interested to see how the newest episode on the poll does. If the average user here is somewhat intelligent it shouldn't get anymore than the 8 votes it has now.

I think a lot of mxers are actually younger than The Simpsons. Isn't that a little creepy? I mean, I don't remember much from the first few seasons except the original (or maybe 2nd) airing of the premiere Christmas episode that we had on tape. But I was ALIVE then! I remember the 100th episode, which was in season five apparently. I remember when they were on Thursdays!

As do I. But I actually remember the original episode. I was already 5 by that point.

Itchy and Scratchy Land, but i was torn that i couldn't vote for Homer The Heretic.

Welcome to Itchy and Scratchy Land, where nothing can possiblie go wrong, possiblY go wrong, hehe, that is the first thing that has ever gone wrong.

That won it for me though.

The Mr X episode.

I like when homer is on the internet and on Springfields police dept. site and it goes "Have you commited a crime?" and Homer clicks "No" and then it goes "That means that you have committed a crime but dont want to confess, a police car is on the way to your house now!"

Or something like tht.

That one wasn't very good. I liked the other ones.

I like the one where Homer hurt himself playing Basketball. :lol: Carl told everyone to stop assuming he was good because he was black, and he turned out to be amazing. Oh, the memories.

The Computer Wore Menace Shoes sucked dick. I hate the new episodes and how they have to rely on jokes "I am...or am I?". I voted for twenty short films about springfield. Monorail and Kamp Krusty were close.

Homer Loves Flanders.

If for nothing, for that part when Homer walks right through the hedges to talk to Flanders. Gawd that was creepy.

Ha ha, yeah. Or when he grabbed two golf clubs and latched onto the back of the Flanders' moving car like the T-1000 in Terminator 2.

Man, if it was up to me, the poll would be nothing but season 4-7 episodes, because those are the absolute best of the best. My favorite episode is "The PTA Disbands," but nobody will vote for that because it doesn't have any sort of gimmick attached to it. It's just ****ing hilarious.

I'd probably vote for that one.
