This Week’s KSK Commenter Draft – Desert Island Simpsons Episodes


I don’t watch “The Simpsons” as much as I used to, although last week’s episode was easily one of the best I’ve seen in the past 5 years, if not longer. But it’s no secret that every member of the Gay Mafia is a card-carrying Simpsons geek. Hell, Christmas Ape barely acknowledges anything that comes in three dimensions. Fuck, if you’ve never watched “The Simpsons”, then you have absolutely no business trying to make jokes (though Jimmy Kimmel will certainly hire you for a brief period).

We had a brief rundown yesterday of our favorite episodes, and no two answers were alike. So we thought we’d open today’s draft up to you, considering the show hits its 400th episode on Sunday night. These are the episodes of the show you’d want with you if you were trapped on a desert island (with a functioning DVD player and electrical power generator). The rules, as always: Pick only one episode, and once you pick, you must wait ten choices until you get to pick again. Oh, and be sure to include favorite quotes as well.

My favorite:

“Last Exit To Springfield.”

Honestly it’s fucking flawless. Even with Lisa’s singing. Want some examples?

“Dental plan!”
“Why must you turn my office into a house of lies?”
“I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time.”
“Don Homer, I make a special donut for a you.”

Sheer brilliance. Yours in the comments.

    "Ralph Wiggum lost his shin guard. Hack the bone! Hack the bone!"

    "Mr. Honeybunny! You inhuman monster."

  18. Bart Gets an Elephant

    Homer: guess it wouldn't be right to sell Stampy after he saved my
    life. And the boy seems to have some sort of relationship with him.

    Bart: Thanks, Dad.

    Homer: On the other hand, who's to say what's right these days, what

    Lisa: You're welcome to come, too.
    Homer: No, I like to save the environment my own way. (drives in circles) Mmm ... donuts

  20. "Missionary Impossible." Homer pledges 10 grand to save "Do Shut Up," his favorite Britcom, and winds up running off to an island to be a missionary when Lovejoy shelters him in the church.

    This episode gets the nod for the following reasons:

    1. Oscar the grouch is thrown through a stained glass window, can and all.

    2. Homer destroys a primitive culture by introducing gambling.

    3. Homer says "Help me Jeebus."

    4. Homer licks toads and trips balls through the first ten minutes of the episode.

    For short punch: "In Marge We Trust." It's the one with the Mr. Sparkle ad at the end. I have never laughed harder, not even at the "Standing Outside the Fire" video by Garth Brooks.

    ReplyDelete
  21. This is a reach pick for a first rounder since it came in the 16th season but I cant let it slip away. Im going to go with Midnight Rx (Candadian drugs). The scene where Apu drinks the hot coffee while trying to cross the border.

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=5pPqbKIBYe4

    Also the scene where they are all bouncing around in slow motion, with pills everywhere, to Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit". Classic.

    the way Daddy caught that bullet?
    Lisa: That's not really you, Dad, he's just a fictional character
    who happens to have the same name.
    Homer: [long pause] Don't confuse Daddy, Lisa.
    Marge: Homer, it's just a coincidence. Like that guy named Anthony

  29. Homer's Phobia -- the one where Homer thinks Bart might be gay

    Homer: Ohmygod Ohmygod Ohmygod! Oh my god! I danced with a gay! Marge, Lisa, promise me you won't tell anyone. [shaking Lisa] Promise me!!
    Marge: You're being ridiculous.
    Homer: Am I, Marge? Am I? Think of the property values. Now we can never say only straight people have been in this house.
    Marge: I'm very sorry you feel that way, because John invited us all out for a drive today, and we're going.
    Homer: Woah-ho-ho, not me! And not because John's gay, but because he's a sneak. He should at least have the good taste to mince around and let everyone know that he's... that way.
    Marge: What on Earth are you talking about?
    Homer: You know me, Marge. I like my beer cold, my TV loud and my homosexuals fa-laming

  90. Blame it on Lisa

    This episode basically reduced Brazil to a country full of kidnappers, thieves, and chesty parading females. Rio De Janiero actually demanded a public apology - and got it - from James Brooks:

    "We apologize to the lovely city and people of Rio de Janeiro," says Brooks. "If that doesn't settle the issue, Homer Simpson offers to take on the President of Brazil on Fox Celebrity Boxing."

  91. Dammit, two of my faves (time travel toaster and Homer at the candy convention) are already taken.

    There are really too many great episodes to pick one, but I'll mention the one where Homer almost cheats on Marge with a hot coworker (voiced by Michelle Pfeiffer). And sorry, I don't have a quote from that one. It's been awhile since I've seen it. But one of my favorite Homer quotes is:

    Quick! Operator! Give me the number to 911!

  95. Homer the Vigilante

    [They come upon Jimbo who is spray painting "carpe diem" on a wall.]

    Homer: You better have a good reason for doing that, boy.
    Jimbo: It makes me feel like a big man.
    Homer: Let me check my reason list. ...Yep! It's on here.
    Jimbo: Hey! You're that drunken posse. Wow...can I join ya?
    Homer: [skeptical] I don't know...can you swing a sack of door knobs?
    Jimbo: _Can_ I?
    Homer: You're in! Here's the sack.
    Moe: But you gotta supply your own knobs.

    [That night at dinner, Homer relates his antics to the rest of the family.]

    Homer: So I said to him, "Look, buddy, your car was upside down when we got here. And as for your Grandma, she shouldn't have mouthed
    off like that!"
    Lisa: Dad, don't you see you're abusing your power like all vigilantes? I mean, if you're the police, who will police the police?
    Homer: I dunno. Coast Guard?
    Marge: Homer, wasn't the whole point to catch the Cat Burglar?
    Lisa: And I still don't have my saxophone.
    Homer: Lisa, the mob is working on getting your saxophone back. But
    we've also expanded into other important areas. [reads a list] Literacy programs, preserving our beloved covered bridges, world
    domination --
    Lisa: World domination?
    Homer: Oh ho, heh, that might be a typo. [thinks] Mental note: the girl knows too much.

    Herman: See, it's a miniature version of the A-Bomb. The government built it in the fifties to drop on beatniks.
    [Homer imagines a beatnik on the grass with a bongo]
    Beatnik: Radiant cool, crazy nightmare Zen New Jersey nowhere...
    [A group of beatniks snap their fingers in time]
    [Homer flies overhead in a plane]
    Homer: Put this in your pipe and smoke it! [Presses a button, but the A-Bomb doesn't fall]
    Beatnik: How now, brown bureaucrat?
    [Homer jumps on the bomb, and it falls with him still on it. He cheers as though he's riding a bronco]
    [It explodes, bringing us back to reality] Take that, Maynard G. Krebs!
    Herman: Hey...see the sign? ["Do not ride the bomb"]
    Homer: Sorry.

    Abe: I'll join! I'm filled with piss and vinegar. At first I
    was just filled with vinegar.
    Homer: Hmm...sorry, Dad. You're too old.
    Abe: [stammers] Too old? Why, that just means I have experience.
    Who chased the Irish out of Springfield village in aught
    four? Me, that's who!
    Irish man: And a fine job you did, too.
    Homer: Aw, Dad. You've done a lot of great things, but you're a
    very old man now, and old people are useless. [tickles Abe] Aren't they? Aren't they? Huh? Yes they are! Yes they are! Tee hee --
    Abe: Stop it! That's a form of abuse.

  96. how about a nod to something football related: "Lisa the Greek"

    Homer: You think we should bet against them?

    Homer: You got it. [to phone] Moe, twenty-three dollars on New York

    Homer: Lisa, you picked the winner every time. You must have some
    kind of special gift!
    Lisa: Come on, Dad. It doesn't take a genius to realize that Houston's failed to cover their last ten outings on away turf the week after scoring more than three touchdowns in a conference game.
    Homer: Oh, my little girl says the cutest things.

    Homer: Buffalo is going to win. Lisa hates me. [sobs]

  97. Milhouse: You like Nelson?! But he's a creep and he chipped one of my permanent teeth!

    Lisa: But I bet underneath he's a sweet, sensitive person... like you.

    [Milhouse makes an unflattered glare]

    Lisa: I guess you could say I'm wanna bring out the Milhouse in
    Nelson.

    Milhouse: But I'm all Milhouse! Plus, my mom says I'm the handsomestguy in school.

    Lisa: I like you too, Milhouse, but not in that way. You're like a big sister.

    Milhouse: No, I'm not! Why does everybody keep saying that?

    Lisa: Would you do me a favor? When you get back to class, just
    give him this note.

    Milhouse: [groans]

    Lisa: [insistent] Please?

    Milhouse: [thinking] When she sees you'll do anything she says, she's
    bound to respect you. [aloud] Sure! What's a big sister for? [walks off]
    [to himself] Oh... I shouldn't have said that.

    Back in class, the note is passed to Nelson.

    Nelson: [reading] "Guess who likes you." [turns around]
    [Milhouse wiggles his fingers at him]


    Next thing he knows, Milhouse is rushed out the school on a gurney,
    his glasses wrecked and his nose leaking a stream of blood.

    Lisa: Milhouse, I'm so sorry!

    Paramedic: He can't hear you now. We had to pack his ears with gauze.

    i mean come on, the scorpio episode has such a great football moment in it too

    Homer: [reading] Project Arcturus couldn't have succeeded without you. This will get you a little closer to that dream of yours. It's not the Dallas Cowboys, but it's a start. Drop me a line if you're on the East Coast, Hank Scorpio. [stops reading] Aw, the Denver Broncos!

    Homer: Yeah, yeah.
    Marge: Well, explain to me why it isn't.

    if you ask me (and most people do), he's hundred years if he's a day.

    Clerk: Well, one fella came close. Went by the name of Homer. Seven feet

  150. Late in, but this draft is deep—I'll take "New Kid on the Block [9F06]"

    TV Guide synopsis
    The Simpsons' new neighbors are a divorcée (Pamela Reed) and her 15-year-old daughter (Sara Gilbert), who captures---and breaks---Bart's heart. Meanwhile, Homer sues when a restaurant denies him ``all you can eat.''

    The main plot with Bart and his crush is great enough, but the subplot nets me Lionel Hutz and the Sea Captain!

    Choice quotes:
    "'Tis no man. 'Tis a remorseless eating machine."

    Homer pays a visit to Lionel Hutz's "I Can't Believe It's a Law Firm'':
    Hutz: Mr. Simpson, this is the most blatant case of fraudulent advertising since my suit against the film, "The Never-Ending Story''.
    Homer: So, do you think I have a case?
    Hutz: I don't use the word hero very often, but you are the greatest hero in American history.
    Homer: Woo-hoo!

  155. Tough top 10 - and the two best episodes (Conan Obrien's Homer Goes to College ("hey buddy, did'ya get a load of the nerd!?" "Pardon me?") and Clown College ("Kill wealthy dowager") were taken early.

    But how was Treehouse of Horrors 3 missed?
    - "Marge, marge! The doll's trying to kill me and the toaster's been laughing at me!"

    - "What do you think Smithers?"
    - "I think women and seamen don't mix"
    - "We know what you think..."

    - "Dad, we did something very bad!"
    - "Did you wreck the car?"
    - No
    - Did you raise the dead?
    - Yes!
    - But the car's ok?
    - Un-huh
    - All right then.

    And finally: "To the book depository!"

  157. Screaming Yellow Honkers
    (http://www.snpp.com/episodes/AABF10)

    solid value here, good appearance by a very underrated random character, Gil Gunderson...

    Gil: Go ahead, drool all you want, you can't hurt that finish. Now rainwater, that will strip it right off, so ... aw, I shouldn't have said that ... aw, Gil.
    Homer: Hey, a red one. [runs to a red Canyonero] Can I buy that? Please?
    Gil: Well, if you, well ... really? Wow, Hot, hot dog! A sale! [goes to put a little Canyonero marker, indicating a sale, on a bulletin board]
    Stan: I'll take it from here, Gil. [takes Gil's marker]
    Gil: No, wait, no. Aw, you can't take my sale. My wife's going to leave me if I don't start bringing in the green. Come on, let me have this one, Stan, I'm begging you. Look at me, I'm begging you, Stan.
    Stan: Mm-hm. [walks Homer to his office] Let's go write this up, shall we?
    Gil: [pulls a rotary-dial cell phone from his jacket, and dials] Honey, you should have seen me with my last customer, I ... no, but I came so close. This guy was as ... Whose voice is that? Is that Fred? ... Aw, you said it was over ... No, don't put him on -- Hello, Fred, h-hi.

  158. Second pick, Signal.

    I stepped away for lunch, scrolled through every pick to be sure and I am pleased to take the Pretzel Wagon episode.

    "But Marge the little guy hasn't done anything yet and when he does you know it's gonna be good."

    "Forgiverness prease."

  159. Has anyone taken "Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk"?

    "Guten Morgen. I am Horst. The new owners have elected me to speak with you because I am the most non-threatening. Perhaps I remind you
    of the loveable Sergeant Schultz on Hogan's Heroes?"

    "Marge, it's not the money. My job is my identity.
    If I'm not a safety whatchamajigger, I'm nothing!"

    "We understand, Homer. After all, we are from the land of chocolate!''

    Carl: Yeah, you know, those Germans aren't so bad.
    Lenny: Sure they made mistakes in the past, but aah, that's why pencils have erasers!

    Plus: "Oh, don't vorry, we still enough left to buy the Cleveland Browns."

  160. I think "Bart the Lover" is off the board, but I need to point out one of my absolute favorite subplots—the "swear jar:"

    Actual video on YouTube.

    Five of the funniest minutes ever.

  161. Brother from the Same Planet, Season 4.

    Bart: Dad, remember when Tom had you in that headlock and you screamed "I'm a hemophiliac" and when he let you go, you kicked him in the back?
    Homer: Heh heh heh. Yeah?
    Bart: Will you teach me how to do that?
    Homer: Sure, boy. First, you gotta shriek like a woman and keep sobbing until he turns away in disgust. That's when it's time to kick some back!

  162. Burnsy - dammit. This is what I get for being on Pacific time; having to wade through a bunch of episodes everyone's already picked.

    I don't fucking care if anyone else has selected this: the trip to Brazil episode is another favorite.

    ReplyDelete
  163. Otto, what's with the "Go back to Massachussetts"? Something I'm missing there? Because I cannot believe you'd blow the quote...

    By the way, to this day, anytime I or anybody else mentions gazpacho, I break out the "Go back to Russia!"

    You don't win friends with salad!

  164. "There's No Disgrace Like Home"--the family shock therapy episode.

    Homer:Okay, now look. My Boss is going to be at this picnic, so I want you to show your father some love and or respect.

    Lisa: Tough choice.

    Bart: I'm picking respect.

  165. Hasn't been 10 picks but I'd trade up for this one... A Star is Burns (http://www.snpp.com/episodes/2F31.html) where Marge organizes a film festival and Critic cameo...

    Barney: [from his film Pukahontas] Don't cry for me... I'm already dead.

    Homer: [laughing hysterically] This contest is over! Give that man the $10,000.
    Jay: This isn't "America's Funniest Home Videos".
    Homer: But...the ball! His groin! Ah ha! It works on so many levels! [laughs more] Roll it again.


    Burns: Get me Steven Spielberg!
    Smithers: He's unavailable.
    Burns: Then get me his non-union Mexican equivalent! [later] Listen, Senor Spielbergo, I want you to do for me what Spielberg did for Oskar Schindler.
    Spielbergo: Er, Schindler es bueno, Senor Burns es el diablo.
    Burns: Listen, Spielbergo, Schindler and I are like peas in a pod: we're both factory owners, we both made shells for the Nazis, but mine worked, dammit! Now go out there and win me that festival!

  168. Otto, what's with the "Go back to Massachussetts"? Something I'm missing there? Because I cannot believe you'd blow the quote...

    Crap, I mixed them up. "Go back to Massachusetts" is what Homer yells at Sideshow Bob when he calls for an end to television.

  169. For my second pick, I grab "Marge Be Not Proud", the one where Bart gets caught shoplifting a copy of the videogame "Bonestorm."

    Bonus: Troy McClure "educational" video on shoplifting.

    "catfische?"

    ReplyDelete
  170. crap, A Star is Burns WAS taken...

    I'll take Much Apu About Nothing...

    Homer: Not a bear in sight. The Bear Patrol must be working like a charm.
    Lisa: That's spacious reasoning, Dad.
    Homer: Thank you, dear.
    Lisa: By your logic I could claim that this rock keeps tigers away.
    Homer: Oh, how does it work?
    Lisa: It doesn't work.
    Homer: Uh-huh.
    Lisa: It's just a stupid rock.
    Homer: Uh-huh.
    Lisa: But I don't see any tigers around, do you? [Homer thinks of this, then pulls out some money]
    Homer: Lisa, I want to buy your rock.

  171. The Old Man and the Key.

    "This is Bronson, Missouri!"

    "Ma, how 'bout a cookie?"
    "No dice."
    This. ain't. over."

    "But, sir, your jacket, she burns."
    "Then I burn with her."

    The scene where Homer yells at Grampa for staying out all night, and Grampa storms upstairs, slams the door and plays Glenn Miller really loud.

    "Mom, there's no gambling in Branson."
    "Oh, there's gambling. I'll give you 3 to 1 odds."

  172. while not a great episode, a good value pick at #176, if only for the scene below: "Lisa's Rival", from season 6.

  174. Anyone take "Selma's Choice"?

    "Hi, I'm Lionel Hutz, executor of Gladys Bouvier's estate. She left a video will, so I earn my fee simply by pressing this "Play" button. Pretty sweet, eh?"

    "Come to Duff Gardens, where roaming gangs aren't a problem anymore. Now featuring the clean-shaven sound of "Hooray for Everything"!"

    Homer: "Now what do we say when we get to the ticket booth?"
    Bart+Lisa: "We're under six."
    Homer: "And I'm a college student! Heh heh heh."

    Marge: "You've been eating that sandwich for over a week. I think the mayonnaise is starting to turn."
    Homer: "Two more feet, and I can fit it in the fridge."

    "Hey, Surly looks out for one guy only -- Surly!"

    Officer 2: We found this one swimming naked in the Fermentarium. [Lisa, heaping jittery, covered by a towl]
    Lisa: [raises her arms] I am the Lizard Queen!

  175. Treehouse of Horrors VI

    That's some 3-D shit right there. Booyah.

  176. OK, "Curse of the Flying Hellfish" is next off the board.


    “I can't believe you, Grampa. The sergeant in that story you told would never be scared of a dork like Burns. You gotta get that treasure, you gotta do it for Ox, and Asa, and Griff, and Burnsie... Well, not so much Burnsie.”

  180. what a beautiful tribute to the show this is...seriously, there are still good episodes on the board, and my first pick in this draft is like the 6th round (NFL wise.)

    but I found a good one. one I even watched (for the second time) on VCR at Hebrew School.

    the one where Krusty reconciles with his dad, the Rabbi.

    heh. "Gabbin' About God."

    mad respect for the 'summer of 4'2"' selection. best Lisa-oriented episode ever.

  187. For my 3rd pick, I am selecting Maximum Homerdrive.

    Red: Red Barclay's my name. I'm a trucker, and I've eaten steaks from coast to coast with taters and toast. Take my advice -- this one's not for greenhorns.

    Homer: Greenhorn? Who's a greenhorn? What's a greenhorn?

    Bart: It's an insult! Sock him, Dad! Sock everybody!

    Homer: Aw, you're just jealous because you don't have the belly for it anymore, Mr. No-Belly. [pokes Red in his ample
    belly] Mr. Hasn't-Got-A-Belly.

    Red: Well, I have just finished a whole lamb, but, uh, I reckon
    I can take you to school. You're on, boy.

  188. The Cartridge Family(http://www.snpp.com/episodes/5F01)

    Marge: Homer, we've got to get out of here!
    Homer: Ooh, but I want to do some rioting. [pushes one of the Scotsmen]
    Scotsman: [turns to face Homer, screaming] Jobbers cobknots, ya mucker!
    Homer: All done! [runs off]

    Gun Shop Owner: Sorry, the law requires a five-day waiting period. We've got to run a background check.
    Homer: Five days? But I'm mad now!
    % The owner finally pulls the gun away from Homer.
    Homer: I'd kill you if I had my gun!
    Gun Shop Owner: Yeah, well, you don't.

  189. Aww shit, I've got to go. In the spirit of cheating, I will now select my final two and go.

    THE CREPES OF WRATH
    -Good-bye, Adil! I'll send you those civil defense plans you Wanted!

    -Whenever my faith in God is shaken, I think of the miracle of anti-freeze.


    ....AND
    LIFE ON THE FAST LANE
    Marge: You didn't have to drop me off.
    Jacques: But I wanted to. [grasps her hand] Marge, do you know how beautiful you look in the moonlight?
    Marge: Errrr, Jacques! I'm a married woman!
    Jacques: I know, I know. My mind says stop, but my heart, and my hips, cry proceed. Marge darling, I - I want to
    see you tomorrow. Not at Barney's Bowlorama, away from the thunderous folly of clattering pins. Meet me tomorrow for Brunch.
    Marge: What's Brunch?
    Jacques: You'd love it, It's not quite breakfast, it's not quite lunch, but it comes with a slice of cantaloupe at the end. You don't get
    completely what you would at breakfast, but you get a good meal!


    So to recap:
    1. Blame it on Lisa
    2. The Last Temptation of Homer
    3. Maximum Homerdrive
    4. The Crepes of Wrath
    5. Life on the Fast Lane

    A solid draft here. One featuring every major member of the family, homer almost cheating on marge, marge almost cheating on homer, death, trucks, and the mocking of two countries worthy of said mockery.

    My draft is magnificent.

  190. Homer the Smithers

    Homer: Here are your messages. You have thirty minutes to move your car. You have ten minutes. Your car has been impounded. Your car has been crushed into a cube. You have thirty minutes to move your cube.
    (Phone Rings)
    Homer: Hello, Mr. Burns' office.
    Burns: Is it about my cube?

    Burns: I'll have my lunch now. A single pillow of Shredded Wheat, some steamed toast, and a dodo egg.
    Homer: But I think the dodo went extinct…
    Burns: Get going! And answer those phones, install the computer system, and rotate my office so the window faces the hills.
    Homer: (taking notes) Uh-huh, uh-huh. Okay. Um Can you repeat the part of the stuff where you said all about uuhhh, things. Uhh… the things.

  192. I nominate the "Simpsons' 138th Episode Spectacular" hosted by Troy McClure, whom you may remember from remember from such Fox network specials as Alien Nose Job and Five Fabulous Weeks of The Chevy Chase Show.
