Was that the ep where the girl who voices Itchy and Scratchy explains how she did Road Runner, too, but the cheap bastards only paid her to do one beep? If so, great choice.

Indeed it is

17. King-Size Homer (season 7)




This episode revolves around Homer gaining 61 lbs. to get on disability as someone suffering from "hyper-obesity". While the writers decided to center the episode around an issue that is a national problem, don't expect them to attempt to shove some sort of lesson down your throat. Homer is almost completely unapologetic about his quest to become obese, and in the end it saves his life because, as Lisa points out, Homer would have fallen to his death at the power plant if he was any thinner. The unapologetic nature of the episode is what makes it so funny though. Marge and Lisa represent the voice of reason in "King-Size Homer", but they have little affect on Homer's weight gain. Instead the focus of the jokes and the storyline revolves around the process of Homer gaining the weight. Dr. Nick's guidance, Homer's daydream about the ideal work environment in his backyard, the montage of food-shopping/food gorging, and Homer's trip to the movies to see "Honk if you're Horny" are some of the highlights of the episode.

Quotes:

Homer: "All my life I've been an obese man trapped in a fat man's body"

Homer: "I don't want to look like a weirdo...I'll just take the moo moo"

Bart: "I wash myself with a rag on a stick"

Phone Operator: "The fingers you are dialing with are too fat. To obtain a special dialing wand, please mash the keypad with your palm now"

Homer: "Gas, brake, honk...gas, brake, honk...honk, honk, punch...gas, gas, gas"

Movie theater customer: "Hey Fatty, I got a movie for ya, "A Fridge too Far"

Bart: "And I think it's ironic that for once Dad's butt prevented the release of toxic gas"

16. Lisa's First Word (season 4)





It's getting pretty redundant to keep saying that I find an episode hilarious in these descriptions, so from now on let's just assume that if an episode shows up on this list I find it ridiculously funny. What "Lisa's First Word" has going for it besides being hilarious is that it represents Simpsons flashback episodes that actually have heart and establish great Simpsons history. Recent seasons feature countless re-tellings of how Marge and Homer met and fell in love, along with flashback episodes whose sole purpose is to fit in stupid pop-culture references and jokes (I recently caught part of a newer episode that featured Homer as a grunge band singer just like Kurt Cobain and Nirvana, what the hell?). Bart as a little kid was awesome, inventing the term "Domer" (a combination of Dad and Homer), flushing Homer's keys and wallet down the toilet, being terrified of the clown bed that Homer built him, and having the fantasy of what it would be like when the baby was born. Meeting Flanders is also great, with the awesome song and Flanders' shirt "I <3 Webster". It also featured the strangest guest voice of all time, where Elizabeth Taylor voiced Maggie's first word (and that's it).

Quotes:

Bart: Can you say get bent?
Marge: Bart!
Bart: Mister Rogers says it all the time!
Marge: He does not.

Maggie: [burp]
Homer: Did you hear that? She said "burlap"!

Marge: There's going to be twice as much love in this house as there is
now!
Homer: We're going to start doing it in the morning?

Marge: I'm afraid we're going to need a bigger house.
Homer: No, we won't. I've got it all figured out. The baby can have
Bart's crib and Bart'll sleep with us until he's 21.
Marge: Won't that warp him?
Homer: My cousin Frank did it.
Marge: You don't have a cousin Frank.
Homer: He became Francine back in '76. Then he joined that cult. I
think her name is Mother Shabubu now.

Bart: I am so great! I am so great! Everybody loves me, I am so
great!

Bart: I was sitting there!
Lisa: I don't see your name on it!
Bart: It's right there!
Marge: Bart, don't write on the rug.

2, 4, 6, 8, Homer's crime was very great..."great" meaning "large or immense" we use it in the pejorative sense
