woooooooooooooooooop woopwoopwoopwoopwoopwoop. I have laughed embarrassingly hard at that many times. Also at Homer's yelp when Kent Brockman calls organised labour a 'lumbering dinosaur'.

Last Exit to Springfield is utterly flawless. Anyone who disagrees is headed straight for the disgusting savage thread.

That and Marge v the Monorail are a stark reminder of just how far this show has fallen.

May I clarify I did not say I think "Last Exit to Springfield" is a bad episode - its not, its great, and so is the monorail episode. I just dont get much out of jokes of extreme repetition.

This is perhaps rather lolworthy irony seeing as I watch my Simpsons DVDs so regularly I have probably seen every single episode of S1-13 about 15-20 times each.

When everyone's in the bunker waiting for the comet, and Moe suggests playing a game where you make an animal sound and people try to guess that sound, and he leads off with some bizarre, unidentifiable yelp/bleat/garble.And then from Lionel Hutz, when Marge suggests they should tell the truth, "Yeah, but what is truth? If you follow me."Both season 2. Golden, delicious season 2.

That first one is from Season 6, actually.

That line from Lionel Hutz "if you lived here, you'd be home by now!" was used on a billboard once, which is funny because I thought the point of the line was to prove how ridiculous real estate agents get in their advertising

i think the best gag in last exit is where a squeaky, unctuous keeps voting 'nay' @ the union meeting until homer, exasperated, finally asks 'who keeps saying that' & it pans to a pair of guys at the back of the room. one of them is a shrimpy dude in a willy loman sack suit the other this buff germanic dude. the small guy in the same squeaky voice points at the larger, blaming him, exhorts everyone to beat the other dude up & laughs
i like to claim that bob dylan provided the 'nay', uncredited

watching the first season i have to say Homer is a TOTALLY different character. He has just started an episode watering the plants and telling Bart not to be jealous of the Flanders!

(x-post) It's interesting how the voice actors took a while to find their footing, too. The first year Dan Castellaneta was kinda doing Walter Matthau for Homer. Moe and Burns also sound pretty different in the early eps.

so in watching some of the episodes from the really good seasons i've come across a couple of episodes that i have little or no memory of-- the one in which burns loses his fortune and has to live like a regular joe ("i'm riding the bus!" ... "i'm shopping!") and the one in which the neighbors re-build the flanders'es house after it gets destroyed by a hurricane and via flashback we see ned as a child and his beatnik parents

Hurricane Neddy, one of my very favorites. I still occasionally use the phrase "hostility-iddily-diddily."

That whole shopping thing is one of my favorite bits. Krusty coming in to buy "Krusty-O's," Burns asking where the Burns-O's are and Krusty telling him they don't put nobodies on cereal boxes. Then Burns deciding that Count Chocula looks enough like him to count.

That whole hurricane episode is a treasure trove of great jokes. So far as I can tell this is the only episode credited to writer Steve Young, but it's simply amazing. Everything from Rev. Lovejoy in that episode is golden, all the stuff in the psychiatric hospital is great, Rod and Todd in the "Butthole Surfers" and "I'm With Stupid" t-shirts . . . that so much is packed into one 22-minute episode is almost beyond belief.

Almost literally every line in this episode is an A+ joke.
Ned: I just attacked all my friends and neighbors just for trying to help me. I'd like to commit myself.Nurse: Very well. Shall I show you to your room, or would you prefer to be dragged off kicking and screaming? Ned: Ooh, kicking and screaming, please.Nurse: As you wish. [two men in white grab hold of him and drag him away] Ned: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Dr. Foster: Yes, Dr. Foster here. ... Ned Flanders? You're sure? No, no, no, I'll come right over. And may God have mercy on us all. [hangs up] Darling, there's an emergency at the hospital, uh, where are my shoes?Mrs. Foster: [sleepily] I think they're in the den. Dr. Foster: The den? May God have mercy on us all.
