I honestly believe that current writers hate Bart. He's always getting bullied, dumped, or shit on by Lisa and he rarely gets revenge. Boys of Bummer is clear evidence of the writer’s distain for Bart.
They don't hate him, they just decided that he must be a punching bag alongside Homer, because they are jackasses and therefore fair play (despite being worse in the series). Personally, I'm not fond of this comical schtick in every form of media: is gratious and the main joke seems to be "look how ridiculosly painful the character's ordeal is" for most of the time, something only people with a light streak of sadism would enjoy. Only a couple of times it worked great, like with Ryk Mayall characters, all obnoxius and mental characters.
StarFang making them punching bags has killed every ounce of character development the previous writers in the early seasons have built up for them. It's almost like the current writers are destroying the legacy of The Simpsons.
They also said that Bart is the hardest character to write for because they can't relate to 10 year olds and Bart isn't mischievous or adventurous anymore. Now he often gets throwaway jokes and rarely contributes to the plot.
"I just had the most wonderful dream where I died." "Oh no you don't. Not till they're out of college." "Listen, I'll die when I want to!" Aww c'mon. That's funny!
"PTSD is funny?" Well...it is if it's done right, like with any form of dark humour. Like with Principal Skinner, and when his Vietnam flashbacks kick in and he starts talking about some serious dark stuff for a few seconds....only to go back to normal. To me, those Skinner moments are golden XD But yeah, Love is a Many Strangled Thing was pretty bad, and Bart was just so uncharacteristically cruel, like in many modern Simpson episodes :/
@The Joker I agree. In one fell swoop, they pretty much ruin Skinner's character. And then it just sorta expects people to forget it happened in later episodes.
as a person with ptsd im sorry but i have to say it’s so not funny to actually have to experience it. i have a dark sense of humour but whenever people laugh at ptsd it makes me feel like i’m pathetic and worthless and i can’t be the only one
Yeah, that's right. "Stark Raving Dad" was the 1st episode of the season 3 and as we all know the show turned to pure shite after that. You must be a real connoisseur of The Simpsons.
Personally 'The Saga of Carl' is the worst episode for me, effectively destroying an entire character and the relationships we thought he had over all these years (basically Carl steals $200000 from Homer Lenny and Moe and ends up saying they were never even friends in the first place)
I love the Simpsons but there were a lot of awful episodes esp. the later seasons. Saga of Carl was bad because it made Carl into a douche but there's only 10 spots for this ranking.
Yeah but it was one episode and other than 2 references (both of which had Homer where he thought he'd imagined it all) it was never mentioned, alluded to or used as part of plot or canon again. I agree with your first principle though. It was a shit episode.
I didn't care for the Lisa goes Gaga episode either. My favourite Lisa episodes are ones where she is with Homer. The same with the Homer & Maggie episodes. The father daughter bonding ones rank among some of my top favourites.
+KillerCaitie Neither do I. I got stuck watching it at least 3 times and that is why I disliked it. The only thing I enjoyed was her music. As for being a role model I concur because Gaga is a very wild woman.
It's like the whole fucking show about is Lisa IM TIRED OF IT. BART IS THE MAN HE IS LIKE MY ANIMATED JOHN CENA. LISA IS TOO MUCH I JUST WISH I COULD WRAP MY HANDS AROUND HER LITTLE 8 YEAR OLD NECK
Im suprised that "What Animated Women Want" (season 24 ep.17) was not on the list Its basically about marge getting mad at homer for eating while she is talking WHILE THEY WERE AT A RESTURANT what makes it worse is that homer tries so hard to make Marge forgive him and she only ends up forgiving him when he ends up in the hospital. The other half is Millhouse being a jerk to Lisa which makes her love him every time he is ruder to her. This episode is just hard to watch.
The worst episode in my opinion is the one where Lisa gets a restraining order, it's just a ridiculous storyline and Lisa's cruelty pissed me off including the lack of sympathy from the rest of the family, just a horrible episode and the only laugh I had was with the Gary Busey instructional video. Modern Simpsons as a whole is unbearable honestly.
@@strawberrysoulforever8336 oh come on, that was a hilarious episode. There was nothing wrong with that episode. The restraining order episode was bad because she went way overboard with everything. I mean he had to sleep in the yard!!!! All because she was cynical and cruel. That lisa episode made me hate her so much and nothing has made me change that opinion. Oh well
@@juanmoreno1827 First of all, I did not find Barting Over redeemable past the first act. It started off well, but all the skateboarding stuff bored me. I'm glad you liked it, but I really did NOT. So saying "there was nothing wrong with that episode" is totally subjective. When was the restraining order episode? Was it late? Also, Marge has made Homer sleep outside multiple times, starting in Homer's Night Out and happening again in Secrets Of A Successful Marriage (I know everyone hates that episode more than I do). So you see it's not just Lisa who does it.
@@strawberrysoulforever8336 Lisa is not Bart They are different characters and my expectations for them are different If Bart does it, it goes with his characters. If Lisa did it would be stupid So yeah if it was Lisa, I would have hated it
interestingly.. that's what gaga does for promo for her own projects, paying the media to get everything hyped about her horrible projects. old Simpson episodes would mock it, especially Lisa.. that episode was like one big gaga pr stunt
I think he was overreacting as a joke, don't worry it's ''a simple mistake anyone can make'', unless you were meta-joking in which case, sorry for your time, but I don't think you were.
Re: "My SIster, My Sitter": I think you're misinterpreting Bart's antics. They weren't meant to be a comedic high point. The purpose was to show Bart at his most immature, obnoxious, and petulant; it was when his pranks stopped being cute and started being desperate because, deep down, he's intimidated by his little sister being better than him. If you look at it not so much as a "funny" episode and more as the culmination of years of Bart's resentment boiling over, it's a pretty emotional, uncomfortable episode. It's not the funniest episode, but then, neither was "Stark Raving Homer" or "Lisa's Substitute".
+TheRoflcer You just misinterpreted his answer. The video creator's reason for putting that episode on this list was because he thought it was trying to make bart's antics funny. It wasn't.
I think Season 10 was their worse season. So many clunkers. They tried way too hard to compete with South Park (and later Family Guy) when they didn't need to. It may also have something to do with Futurama starting. EDIT: Another thing that may have affected Season 10 was the murder of Phil Hartman. While he wasn't a main character, he played several key characters forcing many abrupt re-writes. He was a great loss to the show.
Season 10 was where the slide started. One channel here has recently aired episodes starting from 1996. Once it got to 10, the difference was noticeable even from the season 9 finale the day before. It's like they purged the whole writing staff or something.
The Gaga episode was the nadir of The Simpsons. It is a horror show. An abomination. It's torture porn. On a brighter note, one of my favorite Simpsons lines: "Lisa, in this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!"
Personally I really started to dislike Lisa as the series went on. In the begining she was the voice of reason, but now the more I notice her she seems like the know it all, bossy girl. For example one of the worst moments with her was when she decided to push and destroy Homers Roast during his barbecue just because it was meat and she was a vegetarian
But she's always kind of been like that, even during the golden years. In the Season 5 episode, "Lisa Vrs. Malibu Stacey", she didn't allow her family to watch fox because they own chemical plants and she forced them to march in a gay rights parade. Even back in Season 2, she was going against her father for getting illegal cable and even thought about turning him in.
Except that was the whole point of the episode? She destroyed the roast but then realized she was wrong, and learned to accept other people's beliefs and opinions. That's some nice character development right there. I get that later seasons have made her more dislikeable, but it's precisely because they DON'T do what they did in that episode, which is, having Lisa realize she was being arrogant.
Problem is, it was character development without character development. At the end of the episode, as you say, she learns that she was wrong. And then they proceed to have her repeat that mistake a million times over, in different scenarios.
Yes, but I'm arguing that's not a good example of her being at her worst, because that was kind of the first time she screws up big and (supposedly) learns from it. The real problem are the subsequent episodes where they ignore that and have her act elitist and condescending by default.
@@thomashuffman3237 Homer's Night Out was intended to air before Life On The Fast Lane for that very reason. I think it was produced first. That's why Marge doesn't remember - because it literally happened after this.
@@strawberrysoulforever8336 I see. But still, based on how the episode was structured, the moral of "don't treat women like objects" comes across as very preachy
You know how Marge is. Whenever Homer or Bart are having fun, she has to rain on their parade. It's like, you put a whoopy cushion in her chair and she'll give you that dirty look.
10- agree 100% this episode is awful. I would’ve put this further down the list actually. 9- I like the compilation of Simpsons songs but I hate the storyline where Snake is trying to break on. 8- Agreed, Lerleen was better off just being on season 3, not sure why she needed a comeback. Homer was way out of character too. 7- As I said before, I like compilations of favourite moments. 6- I agree, they tried too hard here. I like the way it ended though. 5- this is my first time seeing this, but judging from what I’m seeing, and since it’s a later season, I’m gonna agree that this episode is stupid. 4- Agreed, but I don’t know about preferring the muppets haha. 3- Bart was funny for a little bit but they took the joke too far and for too long. I couldn’t stand the part where Lisa was taking him to hospital. 2- haven’t seen this episode but I hate humiliation of the characters in episodes. I hate Bart in this. 1- haven’t seen this episode either but it looks ridiculous. It looks like they tried to incorporate GaGa but failed. They’ve really lost Lisa’s character here.
Lisa Goes Gaga was okay for me. It did have a good moral about being yourself, but was pretty cruel to Lisa in the first half. It also was more light-hearted than the usually cynical Simpsons. My least favorite is either Trash of the Titans or Whacking Day I haven’t seen the other ones people consider to be the worst (Saddlesore Galactica, The Principal and the Pauper, and many of the ones on this list)
I watched lisa goes gaga to see how bad it was, now I'm writing a list of ways to kill lady gaga, the person who thpught it was a good Idea to add her in an episode, and take all of their money, and give it to everyone who had to suffer this episode, It also made me pray that we never see the day that miley cyrus gets an apisode
Bart missing the ball was probably dark like that to say something, like a message about being to cruel on someone because if sports or a different stupid reason
my worst episodes when the school of Springfield is divided with genders. It made me angry when I was a child and it does now because how sexist it is to both male and female.
@@jackotherstar There are some where they just up and do that out of nowhere, and it just...bugs me. Like, it's mostly a pretty modern show, and suddenly ha ha, we're strawmanning stereotpyes of genders from the 1950s (or earlier)! Like...WHY? The one where Lisa keeps insisting that Girls Can Think Too and finds the computer-loom thing is another one. It's like one of the writers was suddenly posessed by the ghost of their dead clueless grandpa...
+ChippyGaming I remember actually looking forward to that episode after years of not watching the show. Despite being a fan of her's at the time, when I actually watched it, it made me take a break from the show indefinitely this time.
It actually got a lot better in season 26. There are a few dull episodes in it (Clown in the Dumps, and Super Franchise Me), but a lot are really good, almost as good as a season 4-10 episode. I also recommend the last few episodes of season 25, because Brick Like Me is an instant classic. As much as I hated Lisa Goes Gaga, I don't think you should judge the other episodes based off of that.
+cat dog Trust me, "Brick Like Me" is possibly the best Simpsons episode in 15 years. Even if you otherwise stay clear from the show (which is perfectly understandable since most of it is crap nowadays) that one episode is a real treat.
The Principal and the Pauper, and the episode which implies that Homer's stupidity is all because of a crayon stuck up his nose are on my 10 least-favorite for sure. Both these episodes destroyed the character development for Principle Skinner and Homer, all for a half-baked premise that lasted only an episode. Ultimately, I agree with your #1 worst (saw that when it was new and thought it was absolute celebrity-focused poorly-written garbage), though not some of the your others.
I agree that The Principal and The Pauper is the worst episode (haven't seen that other episode u mentioned) because Lisa Goes Gaga if more effort was put in it could have been a good episode However The Principal and the Pauper because it reveals that a beloved character is an imposter was doomed from the start the writers should not have even thought about creating this concept and Matt Groening shouldn't have let the episode air
Principal and the pauper truly was horrible, a major character completely disrupted, the jokes in it very unfunny to add to it, and Springfield's heartless sending "the real Skinner" out of town tied to a train, and making his character an actual decent person? Every detail in this episode was put together in exactly the wrong ways, that aside from the horribly flawed premise. Then, the blue haired lawyer making everyone sign an advadaviate promising to never mention the whole incident again? Uh, it was a little late for that by then. A better move might've been to have made the whole "Skinner is an imposter and the "real" Skinner shows up" incident someone's dream. But, they didn't do that, and it's now too late. The entire Simpsons show now gained an unhealable scar.
Generally I HATE the future episodes, the ones in the later seasons at least I also hate the episodes that don’t really have any morals of plot it’s just: let’s all bully Lisa for making something up but then stop because lady Gaga says so
@@3psilon9 2543, when the covenant glass the planet Fox and (where Simpsons is by then relocated) ended the show forever . The staff is rumored to have said "thank god " in the seconds before impact
I hate the episode "the frying game" so much from all the other hated episodes. Homer kills an endangered species, so he must do labor for an old hag, then marge gets involved and both are treated like servants. When the old lady gets murdered by someone they are convicted and are sentenced to execution. The kids are upset and are taken to foster parents, so homer takes the blame for the whole thing and let's marge go, but when he was sent to the electric chair it turns out the whole thing was staged for some prank show and the old lady was a celebrity in disguise. This was the worst episode ever made
The episode where Homer dances with Lady Cashmere isn't just about him dancing with a woman and people making a big deal for no reason. Lady Cashmere is a known exotic dancer/stripper. She's seen sleeping with several men around Springfield including the mayor and Apu at different points and Homer was at a bachelor party where he dances with her. He'd just shoved money into her panties. Yes, strippers often choose that line of work themselves (though others are pressured into it, feel they have no other choice etc) but a lot of people including Marge, view that work as degrading because it makes women out to be entertainment toys for men for money. (some women feel empowered by this and power to them) Not only did the photo imply that Homer might be cheating on Marge, because Lady Cashmere sleeps around, but she felt it sent a bad message to Bart that women should just be viewed as eye candy for men. Also the entire town found out, passed the photo around and were gossiping about it. That's super embarrassing for anyone's wife or husband to deal with. So I definitely think she's a little justified here, although I agree, throwing him out of the house without an explanation on his part was a bit much.
I always felt that that it was softened down because it was a kids cartoon. In reality Homer would have been photographed getting a lapdance from a naked stripper. That's why all the kids and dads loved the photo and that's why Marge went so mad. Well that's how I see it.
Dave johnson Exactly. i always figured it was equivalent of actually kissing the lady or something, they just dumbed it down to make it more marketable.
Matt said when (sorry IF) the show ends, it will end similar to Futurama’s finale. It will close out with the same Christmas play as Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire making the show an infinite loop!
Nope! The episode, "My Sister, My Sitter" is in my top 10 favorite episodes of season 8... maybe but what I laughed the most was the subplot of Homer and Marge. Not my least favorite but I seen worse probably the new ones. Yeah I will stick to the classics.
Season 8 is one my favorite Simpsons season since it has a lot of clever episodes like The Springfield Files, The Mysterious Voyage of Homer, Homer's Enemy, Bart After Dark, Hurricane Neddy, and Brother from Another Series.
@The Killager - I Liked that one too. Actually, there weren't many I disliked. It was all about guilt and Nth degree sibling angst and torturing your sister! (I have three lol)
#10 You are supposed to feel horrified and angry at the citizens of Springfield for torturing a small child. It's completely ridiculous to vilify any kind of sports figure for blowing a game, because in the end, they don't matter, our lives are not decided on the outcome of a game. Yet, we as a nation are obsessed with sports, and put the athletes up on pedestals to be idolized so when one of them fails, they are dragged through the mud, vilified and hated for no reason at all, other than they ruined the outcome of the game. It's basically Bill Buckner's life in a nutshell.
It wasn't fun, though. Also, the resolution was letting Bart pretending to have won the game despite his awful skils, so that nasty status quo remain: is fair and square to shun and demonize a person, ruining its life because he lost a sport game. After all that crap, you could at least expect some jab at the whole sport culture like breaking stuff up or something, just like they did with that reality show's set after being dumped in a river by the TV Station.
I agree this episode is just sick and in my opinnion this episode is just a colossal F#$k up this show has ever made. This episode is simmilar to "some ones in the kitchen with sandy" And "if it smells like an ed." Bassicly a bart torture episode, everything that happend to bart was just over 1 Just...1 S%#^TY Mistake. Just... F$%K this episode! F%$K the writers! F%%k the hatred on Bart! and most importantly, F#$k The citizens of Springfield!!! Also i dont Know why phantom strider put the episode on the 10 spot it deserves to be in the 2 spot. Why Strider.... just.... WHY??????!!!!!!!
the whole episode is a jab at sports culture! and "it wasn't fun though" no shit, It's meant to be dramatic. to see what so much hate and ridicule can do. and to show how crazy they all are. and him winning the fake game was for bart, not for springfield.
+Cuckoo Phendula Correction: they portrayed *every* character to be pretty annoying. Ever heard of Flanderization? The situation with Lisa is made more painful because she used to be one of the most interesting and complex characters in the whole cast, and the writers were never shy to explore her contradictions and subtleties. I guess that, to increase viewership, the writing was dumbed down and simplified to the point where the characters can be unrecognisable. Bart could be wicked, but he was still a 10-year-old boy. Lisa was a prodigy, but she was still a child. Homer could be oblivious, but he was good-natured. Marge could be nagging, but she was also adventurous. All those contradictions were pretty much dismissed. I guess the Big Suits thought comedy shows had no business challenging viewers and questioning their views; they should stick to jokes and the occasional satire. As for Lisa, I don't mean to turn this into an authority argument, but she is Matt Groening's favourite character. Does that make you lose interest in the show? :)
+Fernie Canto IMO it's not that the show is purposely being dumbed down its just that the writers have gotten lazier and lazier. They screwed up the shows continuity so long ago that none of them care about it at all anymore. Couple that with the fact that they refuse to make any permanent changes from week to week and the show is basically stuck in some sort of fucked up limbo. Anymore they're either recycling old plot lines or doing something increasingly over the top and zany (which goes against the original writer's' idea/intent that the characters should act for the most part like real people in for the most part real situations).
Yeah, I used to kinda relate to her as a kid watching the early seasons; the weird dorky girl who didn't even quite fit in with her own family. It sucked when they turned her into an annoying generic feminist rather than just having her be smart and kind like before
I disliked Lisa............... until that restraining order episode. Dear God wasn't that a lazily written episode. That ending. That fucking ending made me HATE Lisa.
As a kid the Simpsons was my favourite show. I always connected to the story of a dysfunctional family, and honestly speaking, it was the only cartoon that didn't make me feel ashamed to have a messed up family life. I've watched every season over my twenty years of life and I think the new seasons are horrible! Bart, who was mainly a brat who would learn his lesson, is just a sociopath. Lisa, who was a smart girl who didn't fit in, is now a trend seeking jerk. and Homer and Marge went from a dysfunctional Marriage who still loved each other, to two sex crazed pervs who have no concept of family. I actually agreed fully with your list (Which i commonly do) and i always have my opinion and the occasional "well that wasn't that bad" moments but i cannot agree more with *Lisa Goes Gaga* Worst episode I have ever seen and it only shows people that you have to think only of yourself and only emulate what others think you should be. I never agreed more, or respected more, of any opinion about a T.V. show!
About Papa Don't Leech, it seems as though Lily is just one of those people who got the short straw in life, even though she's a smart, capable, and thoughtful person. While I agree that it's wrong that she's treated poorly by her friends, family, and peers, it's also realistic. Some people just can't catch a break, no matter how much they deserve it.
+S H R 3 K B 0 Y Y 4.20 My favorite animation is from Seasons 2-4 and 12 (Idk why). I was watching the Simpsons Movie today, and the flash animation was kinda annoying.
"That 90s show" was just bad. Apparently Marge and Homer were in their teenage years in the 90s. And Bart was born in the 80s. I never got it. The story was no better. Every time it appears, I have to wash it out with a Season 3 or 4 classic to make up for it.
What's not to get? The characters never age so any stories of the earlier years of their lives change decades. It's weird, but easy enough to understand.
C Painter Well, the writers keep changing the timeline so the characters don't age. If you went by the character's ages (38, 10, 8, 1) in 1990, Maggie would be 28, Lisa would be 35, Bart would be 37, and Homer and Marge would be 65.
The worst part about that episode is the SJW teacher, just as I thought it couldn't get any worse, he calls the founding fathers of America "while slave owning men". That line alone made me shut off the episode. I have seriously never watched The Simpsons since then.
You forgot the Principal & the Pauper. I completely & totally agree with your number 1 pick, but disagree on Homer's Night Out. It's one of my fave episodes. It's awesome, & represents some of what the show was originally about.
Your perspective on My Sister, My Sitter is way off. Bart's parents set up the situation by putting Lisa in charge, and Lisa was too stupid to realize that this breach of trust would only insure that Bart acted out. Lisa could have pacified the entire situation by not trying to tell Bart to do anything. Instead, she acts as though she's a parent. Any older child is sure to take that wrong.
Personally I think you have it wrong, I thought it was showing Bart at his most annoying and obnoxious point, sort of how 'I hate Scott (forgot his last name)' shows cartman at his most evil, dark, and vengeful point.
Bart was wrong, but his parents and Lisa caused and aggravated it by assuming he needed Lisa's patronizing coddling. Expressing that much distrust in the older child when the child hasn't done anything wrong is an automatic guarantee for Bart's behavior. In other words, the whole family was stupid, and they deserved what happened. Not that that makes it a good episode.
+NerdilyDone Lisa was not too stupid; Bart just didn't like the idea of his litter sister being the boss of him; aka his babysitter. Lisa is younger but she is far more mature in a lot of places so, yes, she was trusted to look after Bart and Meggy. It wasn't Lisa that was stupid but the parents. They know how Bart is so they should have known how things could have turned out. Lisa was acting as if she was a parent, as if she was "in control" because she was.... the in control sense. She was the babysitter
+NerdilyDone So basically you're saying that any authority figure other than his parents should NEVER tell Bart what to do because he'll just act out. Yeah, that... that's reasonable. (That was sarcasm)
+beastgirlsara Just because he's saying that shouldn't be the case with his younger sister who have a long history of fighting with eachother, then he's saying that he shouldn't listen to anyone besides his parents? What kind of stuff do you have to take in order to reach that conclusion?
+City of Champions Films My Sister, My Sitter messed me up as a child. I developed phobias of large amounts of mud, docks & dislocations of limbs because of that episode.
Personally I hated Lisa because to me she was like one of those 'know-it-all' girls who think they're smarter than the rest, and I do laugh at Bart taking the piss but at the end of the episode I was cringing. It sent a bad message to kids watching that episode. What was worse at the end of the episode is that even though she nearly killed her brother, other parents still wanted her to babysit their kids! Terrible shoddy writing. But I do agree that (even though I haven't seen the episode fortunately) seeing the premise of that Lady Gaga episode it deserves number 1, and maybe that has had (or was the start of) an influence on the feminist persona Lisa now has during the past bunch of seasons.
I thought the scene where he gives Maggie coffee ice cream was hilarious, but there ya go. It was on at a time when Sky would actually promote new episodes with trailers. Maybe I only remember the funny scenes from that.
Watched 'My Sister, My Sitter' for the first time just last night, dear God Bart is such a little prick in that episode and he never even gets his oh so due comeuppance.
+cabshdun Like that episode because I have absolutely no remorse for Lisa she ruins everything I think the show would be better if she was killed off... so IMO great episode
From my memory, one of the first episodes I saw that I genuinely hated was the one where Homer becomes some kind of love/relationship teacher and just uses it to gossip about Marge. He starts telling all kinds of secrets and embarrassing personal things about her to the class. Even when she finds out and tells him to stop, he makes it worse and worse, until Marge snaps. He was so unapologetically mean towards Marge (even for him) that it sucked the joy it of the episode.
+thrill house I don't think the reviewer realised that episode is *intentionally* bad. You're _supposed_ to feel as infuriated as Lisa, at least that was the way I took it. If Lisa were the type to curse her catchphrase for that episode would've been "Are you effin' KIDDING ME?" It was played off like those classic comedy duos from the 1900s like Laurel and Hardy. I can't remember the name but I'm sure there was a second episode made like that, so it must've been popular. I seem to recall Lisa sleeping on top of the house after literally tearing her own hair out over bart? Something like that.
"That 90's show" which inexplicably retconned Homer and Marge's early days. this is my least favorite episode. I can forgive "Lisa goes Ga Ga" because it is a just a bland special guest appearance. But to move the date of Homer and Marge's marriage over a decade just so you can hop on the 90's nostalgia bandwagon is an insult to long time fans.
+msminmichigan Well here's the thing- I hate the retcon. We all do. But that episode was kinda funny. Homer as a grunge star was funny, and most Marge Homer flashbacks have some heart to them (there was one flashback after this that was just ugh, something with a treecarving or wtfever).
+Jenifer Joseph I know which one you're talking about. But here's the thing: that retconn ignored "That 90'a Show" and retconed again. it's like even the writers hated "That 90's Show" The grunge band subplot was lazy writing.
+msminmichigan Oh that episode gave me the shits, EVERYONE i know hated that so much. and what a terrible song they used!, it was a cover of Nirvana's song "Rape Me", that wasn't well thought out.
Most of the good writers left after season 8 and the show has been going down hill ever since. Sometimes they do come up with a good episode, But the characters personalities have really changed after the first 9 seasons. Bart felt bad about cutting the head off a statue good writers. Bart commits treason for a dirt bike bad writing!
Season 9 was pretty good. It gave us City of New York vs. Homer Simpson, Das Bus, Joy of Sect, Girly Edition, Lisa's Sax, The Cartridge Family, This Little Wiggy, Natural Born Kissers, Simpson Tide, and Trash of the Titans.
look at season 9... MANY incredible episodes. It has more weaker episodes than any season before it (besides perhaps s1), but that doesn't mean it's as weak a season as most that came after. This season has episodes like: Girly Edition (one of my favorite episodes ever), Lisa the Skeptic (one of the best and smartest episodes ever), The Cartridge Family (another one of the best), Bart Carny, The Trouble with Trillions, The Last Temptation of Krust, Das Bus, Dumbell Indemnity, and Miracle on Evergreen Terrace... all amazing episodes. Even the comparatively weaker ones or ones I don't love have lots of great stuff in them. Let's not exclude season 9 so quickly.
@@BrendanClifford I love the cartridge family episode too one of my favorites. The writers ruined Lisa's character buy making her too politically correct, making Homer a terrorist, making Bart commit treason. Bad writing in the later episodes. There are alot of gems. But the characters have been written poorly. That was my point I love the Simpsons. 👍
For the the worst Simpsons episode ever no shadow of doubt by far, it's The Simpsons Guy crossover, for me this episode reunites the worst of both Simpsons and Family Guy at the same time and put it on a single episode, it's like a nightmare becoming reality, it's the meaning of getting on deep of the well and start digging to see if you can get deeper that you already are.
How can anyone forget THAT 90s SHOW episode where they completely ignore that anything they did in the 90s never existed and homer started a grunge band, ruining all continuity.
Credit to you for picking some older episodes, but I personally feel the show started going downhill in a serious way in season 10 (season 9 was where the seasonal rot really began showing-it gave us Principal and the Pauper, after all), and by now it’s just plain sad. Homer’s gone from being a bumbling idiot who still loves his family to a screaming psychopath who seems to loathe his wife and children (when he acknowledges they exist, anyway), and by this point, his and Marge’s relationship feels less sweet and more depressing and borderline abusive. The animation’s gone from fluid and expressive to stiff, rigid and soulless. There’s a couple of diamonds in the rough from the ‘zombie Simpsons’ era (Marge Gamer, Holidays of Future Passed), but even those don’t quite hold up to the classic era. I was actually upset when Futurama was brought back, because while its original cancellation was disappointing, it nonetheless meant the show didn’t end up going down the same road as The Simpsons. Even the revived series was starting to show cracks, but that’s a comment essay for another day. The Simpsons used to be groundbreaking; now it *is* the ground. It’s become more and more mean spirited and nasty (season ten is where this really started setting in, and (TW for a mention of rape) there was that horrible episode in season fourteen-I think-where Marge rapes Homer). Of the seasons I consider ‘classic’ the only truly bad ones I can think of are the season five finale ‘Scenes From a Marriage’ and season eight’s ‘My Sister My Sitter’.
I appreciate your thoughtful reasons for dislikes and ranking these episodes, and I like that you got beyond the 'because it's not funny' knee-jerk reaction the fanbase seems to cling to. You show a much deeper thoughtfulness and appreciation for the show in picking these episodes, and the supportive arguments for your reasons for doing so are intelligent and spot on. Many kudos to you for bringing this articulate analysis.

+Gunner Ginn U2 got a song and a cameo, Green day got a cameo show that literally sinked (I think they have a few cool songs), Guns 'n Roses never appeared (and I hope they never will, the band isn't what they used to be). And by the way, you should watch How I Spent my Strummer Vacation (s14e02). It's not about metallica, but it's about the Rolling Stones.
The episode where Maude Flanders dies deserves to be in this list. Sure, she was not the best character, but the way the writers killed her off was just plain distasteful and very unnecessary. After that, they only dedicated to make unfunny and stupid shit with Ned's character...
+TheDoctor2222 I think he doesn't get the go to bread line. It's SUPPOSED to be stupid. The line itself isn't what's funny; it's Bart delivery and Lisa's reaction.
+TheDoctor2222 Its like, meant to be lame....they're siblings...and at that, children! I remember an argument where my brother said he wanted to "go to bed." And I said, "Whats that? hit you in the head?" So I threw a baseball at his noggin! Lol, we were Bart and Lisa's age. He being younger. You're right in the guy not getting the joke is meant to be corny....because most of what children say to each other...is corny! Lol!
I personally felt like The Principal and the Pauper should've replaced 5 or 4 as not only it ended the golden age of The Simpsons, but it insulted the audience, had very poor writing, contradicts previous episodes, and it was so bad that Matt Groening himself considers it non-canon, I'm surprised you didn't put it on the list
Exactly! The Principal and the Pauper insults the audience, takes a dump on the character of Principal Skinner, and is riddled with plot holes (why does this supposed unrelated stranger look like a perfect combination of Sheldon and Agnes' traits, and the real Skinner looks only a little bit like his supposed parents? how did Agnes not know what _her own son_ looked like? is she really _that_ bad at recognizing faces? are we to believe that all of the moments where Skinner's love of and devotion to his job as an elementary school principal were all one big lie, even though there was no indication that that is the case? and so on, and so forth). It's no wonder Matt Groening decanonized it.
@@TheMbmdcrew The concept is bad, but the actual quality of the episode isn't near as bad as many of the episodes from the HD era. The episode is still very funny with a lot of chuckleworthy jokes in spite of that. Whereas 70% of the HD era episodes are mostly dull, lifeless and lacking any good comedic edge
my most hated episode Iis when lisa put a restraining order on her brother and than homer and marge didn't ground her or make her live outside instead of bart to get her to lift it
Since I don't like Bart that much, I enjoyed this episode. Bart treated his own sister like a piece of crap the first half of the episode, so it's understandable why Lisa reacts like that.
I think I never seen that episode but my most hated episode is Maximum Homerdrive The one good thing about that episode is the title of it it's a easter egg to one of the first roles of Yeardley Smith (voice of Lisa) but it has no jokes or real story The story is that Homer got a Semi and he and Bart need to deliver a trailer full of crap to who gives a shit land, and Marge and Lisa just get a door bell and fuck that up
To be honest, you should have just put "EVERY CLIP SHOW EVER" in one spot, to make room for bad episodes that are really insulting. I'm surprised you left out 'Love Is a Many-Splintered Thing', 'Homer vs Dignity', 'Kill the Alligator and Run', 'Moe Goes from Rags to Riches', and 'Clown in the Dumps' off the list. I often can't sit through new episodes completely, I usually judge them based on the first couple of minutes, and if they are particularly boring or unfunny, I just stop watching. I nearly never find myself doing that with old episodes, even clip shows.
Back in the day, The Simpsons would invite a guest voice and proceed to make them look silly. (Barney to David Crosby: "You're a musician??") You usually had to be a good sport to participate. Nowadays they treat them with reverence, which defeats the purpose and is just lame.
No wonder Family Guy's gotten worse. They're trying to get away from the "Simpsons rip-off" by being crueler, so The Simpsons follows suit, so Family Guy continues to run away by getting crueler, and so on.
I always felt bad for Bart on Boys of Bummer. I mean, yeah I like him, but even if I didn't, I'll still feel bad for him. Amazing list Strider. Lisa was one of my role models too.
ok I should have listened to you about Lisa goes gaga! I watched the scene when marge and gaga are talking about Lisa and when Marge said she didn't care about Lisa, it HURT HOW MUCH CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT WENT DOWN THE DRAIN IN THAT 57 SECONDS OF CONVERSATION!!!!! just like you I love Lisa, and she makes some pretty clever jokes and is a great role model , BUT THIS EPISODE DESTROYED ME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for saying this episode. He acts as if there was some conspiracy by the singer to ruin the show, she did not write this crap. It is the shows fault but, he seems to be blaming a guest star as if they control anything other than their voice when they do the show.
WickedWayz Agreed. I'm surprised he went that far at insulting a woman (who, during that time, was a really really big deal in pop culture) over guest appearing in an episode that was 100% the writer's fault. He said it himself, the episode with Michael Jackson was wrote well. This episode? Did nothing but break Lisa down as a character and spend 80% of the rest of the time pandering to Lady Gaga for appearing. I'm no big fan of hers, but it's not her fault the creators decided to portray her that way. It's an old video though, so I hope he matured up a bit regarding his criticism of an episode made during a time when The Simpsons could get cancelled and I'd cheer loudly.
It's not really Lady Gaga's fault, she was just a guest star... I BLAME THE WRITERS!! Also the joke about how Gaga wears crazy clothes dragged out for way to long.
Scarlet Shadow, you said it all...you BEAUTIFUL PERSON!!! I did even WORSE... (Sob!) oh, god! I made the terrible mistake of....WATCHING THE WHOLE BLOODY EPISODE! Oh, goodness! Help me! It is THE WORST Episode ever
Thanks for talking about Lisa Goes Gaga! Growing up this show was a big part of my viewing TV and I really empathized with Lisa as she struggled to fit in, felt she has to change for others, worried over her looks and was bullied etc. I'm sure not all Modern Simpsons is bad, but that was just..so uncomfortable to watch. Especially the ending which made little sense to me.
I hated the Bart centered future episode with his kid and his ex-wife. I thought it was horrible and told a story we didn't need or want. I thought that future episodes were sub-par in general, but were okay enough up until Lisa the President. That one was half good, and ended up having a trigger in it making it unwatchable now.
Well I guess a terrible episode is better than a boring one. But yeah I think the suicide one should've been higher. Apparently someone made a creepypasta because of that episode too.
Fully agree with the Lurleen Lumpkin episode. I'm one of I'm sure millions of former diehard Simpsons fans who's now a casual fan at best- and that episode is what really did it for me. The treatment she received was disgusting, especially against a sweet character like her. The PTSD episode as well is just god awful. My favourite episode is Bart vs Thanksgiving. It actually makes me cry seeing the connection between Bart and Lisa, and the love the family has for each other in general, especially being from a loving but dysfunctional family myself like a lot of Simpsons fans. So its downright offensive when you go from Lisa crying because her big brother has run away even though he ruined her centrepiece- all the way to Homer teaching an army of robot college students with Neil Degrasse Tyson
Tbf Lurleen tries to have an affair with a married man and even made out with him without his content so technically Marge has a good reason not to like her.
I REALLY hate the episode where Lisa decides to become a vegetarian. Because Iwas raised in a vegetarian house, but we never cared if other people eated meat or not and didn't try to convince them of anything. So seeing Lisa crash a barbecue because of a ideological tantrun really triggers me of
PedroFelix you were raised in it, she wasn't. That episode was her struggling with her beliefs and not knowing the best way to deal with them (as an 8 year old wouldnt)
PedroFelix I didn't hate the episode but I just fucking HATED Lisa in that shit. She fuckin ruins a WHOLE MEAT PARTY to get rid of ham because she's a vegetarian.
That's part of the point of the episode. She goes too far with her newfound ideology and tries to force it on other people. You can draw parallels to anything with that.
Apu: Oh I had the most wonderful dream where I died. Manjula: Oh no you don't, not til they're in college. Apu: Listen, I'll die when I want to. I love that bit.
I think Miracle on Evergreen Terrace should be on the list. I mean: Bart ruined the Christmas tree and presents Lied to his family that a burglar took them Because of his lie, everyone in Springfield hates the Simpsons and stole all of their furniture and pets
Idk why all the downvotes, I agree with the list, especially that episode where Lisa babysits Bart. Fuck that episode pissed me off. And the one we're Bart tortures homer is even worse! It made me so mad when Bart actually ignored his father being hung.
Fizalex That babysitting Lisa one actually terrified me when I was younger and I still feel a strong undercurrent of revulsion and discomfort towards it as a 20 year old.
@Kat Bird isn’t the Simpson’s decline generally agreed to be in the early 2000s? There were plenty of “bad” episodes when the creator uploaded this, lol.
@@justinc.5591 true, but it's sort of been marked (generously) with the episode where Skinner was revealed to have stolen someone's identity as the point where there's a visible and drastic shift Not saying I agree, but that was the basis for the joke
the fucking episodes in which: -Homer kisses a kebab for like 5' in a disgusting way -Edna and Ned start dating -Edna is fired -the family moves to Waverly Hills -Bart wants a brother (again) -Chalmers teaches Bart just because and MANY more
Mateo Trapiello Let's just say Modern Simpsons in general and be done with it. I'm binge watching modern Simpsons and haven't found a single episode (aside from Barthood) that made me laugh and feel the feels Simpsons used to give me. But with that said there are some gems of Modern Simpsons like Barthood as I've said before. If you want an episode arguably on the quality of the first 8 (and for some people 9 and 10 too) seasons, I highly recommend Barthood. It's basically Bart being overshadowed by Lisa but not in a mean way or anything and unlike the other flash forward future episodes, Bart actually gets a happy ending. Don't dismiss all episodes of Modern Simpsons just because they aren't the classics because you might just be missing out on some real gems. Also a lot of the Halloween specials aren't funny anymore, they're just flat out unpleasant. Like the one where Homer eats himself.
especially beause most of springfield laughed at homer, and when it came out, dancing with someone who dressed like that was a "cheating move" god he doesn't even take it into account
Homer' s night out points out an aspect of Marge that I just hate. Okay, She runs Homer out of the house because he danced next to a dancer at a party? That's not okay, but destroying the town is okay? He can't not go to church, but he can manage a country singer, he can forget to pick up Bart from practice. He can drive Frank Grimes to suicide, He drove Flanders into a mental hospital, yet it's okay with Marge. Homer can hide his fugitive mom in their home, but Marge puts her foot down and kicks homer out over a dance? That strange since of morality ruins Homers night out for me.
Robin Neher you need to know a few things, the time this was made was a much more conservative time. Dancing with the woman would be like if he danced with a stripper today, not to mention that I'm pretty sure most of those you listed came after that episode, He didn't drive Frank grimes to suicide, he drove him crazy by just being who he is, Frank lost his mind and acted like homer, grabbing onto an electrical circuit, killing him. He didn't drive Ned to a mental hospital, Ned lost his cool after the house Springfield made fell down. He drove himself there because he felt he had been too angry, She let his mom stay because A she didn't know she was a fugitive at first, and B Marge values family. So ,wrong again! And forgetting to pick up Bart? What parent hasn't forgotten to pick up their kid once? Much like half the stuff he said for that part on the list most cane AFTER that episode, Would you be okay with your significant other dancing with a stripper? Hmm? I've watched most of the episodes you talked about recently.
Even the worst episodes during the Simpsons golden age looks good compared to the episodes of now. & speaking on the homer's night out episode, I know it's from season 1 but man.....she clearly dont know what's coming for her in the next 27 seasons. I have seen homer do worst shit in the 1st 11 seasons I watched so far but she puts up with it.
Any true fan of The Simpsons would know that the show has always been about more then just haha funny jokes. Yet you point out "where is the funny in that" various times throughout this video at themes and points that dont fit your "anything that isn't positive/warm-hearted and a reflection to how I was raised, I will dismiss it" attitude. 'Eight Misbeaheavin' is a Classic, I also first saw this at a young age and to me it showed realism in a humorous way. No matter how people you meet who say my child is the angel of my life, even they will be able to empathise to what Apu and Manjula go through and the fact of the eight situation intensifies the feelings in a sensational way. Despite how much you fall at the knees towards Lisa, 'My Sister, My Sitter' seemed to be a episode for the many people who disdained Lisa and her know it all, pretentious attitude. But not just that, so much more happens in this epoisde which makes it great yet it seems you discarded all this once again due personal weigh ups. It's obvious that your prejudice towards your idol made you put this one on the list because it's not a bad episode by any means. That being said you do mention that these are your 10 top worst episodes in video, then why not add a "My" to the start of that title ;)
+TheHiddenAnswer I've never heard anyone but you claim that Eight Misbehavin is a classic. Even the heartfelt "real" moments are generally still wrapped in a layer of comedy. In his opinion, these moments were missing that layer of comedy.
Crazy looking back, because there was a time where Elon Musk was legitimately well liked and respected. Like there was a time where he was like the real Tony Stark. Now we see him for what he really is.
IMO it’s because most people don’t know anything about engineering or rocketry so when he made grandiose claims and see a billion dollar company behind it, they’d take him at his word. When he injected himself into social media and politics - things most people do know - it rapidly became apparent how much of an idiot he really is. The excuse of “eccentric billionaire” doesn’t hold up so well when every decision he makes is stupid and bad and despised by most non-sycophants.
You can't take cruelty. The idea of someone who seems like a nice woman who never wronged anyone and seems like she should have a great life instead be treated so poorly by the world kind of shows that sometimes, life is unfair. P.S. I would believe Homer would think about killing his father. He has been putting up with him for so long and can't believe he's still alive that I can understand him seeing him as too much of a burden. Also, how would you feel if your wife gave birth to 8 kids and you could only handle one, maybe two kids. I would probably feel shocked and feel worried that I probably couldn't have the money or patience to care for 8 at one time. I also expect Bart to be so cruel to Lisa and watching what she goes through make me feel sorry for her.
+Kiltmaster Lisa is my favorite character too, she is the one character that appears to have any consistent principles and while her stories aren't generally laugh out loud funny they are almost always very emotionally authentic and contain great messages for the younger fans. She was a big influence on me when I was growing up, just like phantomstrider8, and she helped give me the courage to do the right thing even when it is unpopular. I can fairly say that I credit Lisa, in some small amount, for helping make me into someone that I can be proud of.
+phantomstrider8 I always liked Lisa too, but the episode where she sleeps in the trees and is presumed dead kind of destroyed the character for me, when she went from becoming the show's voice of reason to being a left-wing parody.
I honestly believe that current writers hate Bart. He's always getting bullied, dumped, or shit on by Lisa and he rarely gets revenge. Boys of Bummer is clear evidence of the writer’s distain for Bart.
They don't hate him, they just decided that he must be a punching bag alongside Homer, because they are jackasses and therefore fair play (despite being worse in the series).
Personally, I'm not fond of this comical schtick in every form of media: is gratious and the main joke seems to be "look how ridiculosly painful the character's ordeal is" for most of the time, something only people with a light streak of sadism would enjoy. Only a couple of times it worked great, like with Ryk Mayall characters, all obnoxius and mental characters.
StarFang making them punching bags has killed every ounce of character development the previous writers in the early seasons have built up for them. It's almost like the current writers are destroying the legacy of The Simpsons.
They just want to get the paycheck by FOX, that wants money from the show even at the expense of quality, that's how the things are.
StarFang make sense that the writers they have are only in it for the money and not for actually making a good show.
They also said that Bart is the hardest character to write for because they can't relate to 10 year olds and Bart isn't mischievous or adventurous anymore. Now he often gets throwaway jokes and rarely contributes to the plot.
"I just had the most wonderful dream where I died."
"Oh no you don't. Not till they're out of college."
"Listen, I'll die when I want to!"
Aww c'mon. That's funny!
Thank you! I thought so too!
ActiveGalacticNuclei Yeah, that is giggle worthy, plus I actually liked that episode.
ActiveGalacticNuclei I actually love that episode.
I love that episode.
ActiveGalacticNuclei I laughed until my stomach hurt XD
"PTSD is funny?"
Well...it is if it's done right, like with any form of dark humour. Like with Principal Skinner, and when his Vietnam flashbacks kick in and he starts talking about some serious dark stuff for a few seconds....only to go back to normal. To me, those Skinner moments are golden XD
But yeah, Love is a Many Strangled Thing was pretty bad, and Bart was just so uncharacteristically cruel, like in many modern Simpson episodes :/
"Johnny? Johnny! JOHNNY!"
@@strawberrysoulforever8336 "Cool, I broke his brain" literally me everyday in class
@The Joker N-no...
@The Joker I agree. In one fell swoop, they pretty much ruin Skinner's character. And then it just sorta expects people to forget it happened in later episodes.
as a person with ptsd im sorry but i have to say it’s so not funny to actually have to experience it. i have a dark sense of humour but whenever people laugh at ptsd it makes me feel like i’m pathetic and worthless and i can’t be the only one
Personally I liked Apu’s kid episode because it didn’t shy away from how stressful being a parent could be.
The Michael Jackson episode was so heartwarming. Thanks for bringing it up and making me remember why I originally used to love this show.
mhm i loved his cameo
Stout Shako
The Michael Jackson episode was one of the best and last good episodes of The Simpsons.
Stout Shako i
Yeah, that's right. "Stark Raving Dad" was the 1st episode of the season 3 and as we all know the show turned to pure shite after that. You must be a real connoisseur of The Simpsons.
Personally 'The Saga of Carl' is the worst episode for me, effectively destroying an entire character and the relationships we thought he had over all these years (basically Carl steals $200000 from Homer Lenny and Moe and ends up saying they were never even friends in the first place)
I love the Simpsons but there were a lot of awful episodes esp. the later seasons. Saga of Carl was bad because it made Carl into a douche but there's only 10 spots for this ranking.
Yeah but it was one episode and other than 2 references (both of which had Homer where he thought he'd imagined it all) it was never mentioned, alluded to or used as part of plot or canon again. I agree with your first principle though. It was a shit episode.
ihasnotomato Mk2 JHhohorsrcope.
Agreed, that was pretty sad to see. Though, to be fair, most people see episodes after Season 10 non-canon
@Jane Doe - An entire episode about Carl?... lol! I vaguely/barely remember that.

I didn't care for the Lisa goes Gaga episode either. My favourite Lisa episodes are ones where she is with Homer. The same with the Homer & Maggie episodes. The father daughter bonding ones rank among some of my top favourites.
+KillerCaitie Neither do I. I got stuck watching it at least 3 times and that is why I disliked it. The only thing I enjoyed was her music. As for being a role model I concur because Gaga is a very wild woman.
It's like the whole fucking show about is Lisa IM TIRED OF IT. BART IS THE MAN HE IS LIKE MY ANIMATED JOHN CENA. LISA IS TOO MUCH I JUST WISH I COULD WRAP MY HANDS AROUND HER LITTLE 8 YEAR OLD NECK

This maybe the first time I've ever heard anyone say that Lisa is their favorite character
well we exist.
lisa is my favorite cause I'm actually alot like her
Lisa is my fave character too.
Pre-Vegetarian Lisa was fine, after that... well... I just call her Tumblr Simpson now.
Nudal She was always conscientious about modern issues from the beginning. She's no way SJW and Simpsons have always been progressive.
Im suprised that "What Animated Women Want" (season 24 ep.17) was not on the list
Its basically about marge getting mad at homer for eating while she is talking WHILE THEY WERE AT A RESTURANT what makes it worse is that homer tries so hard to make Marge forgive him and she only ends up forgiving him when he ends up in the hospital.
The other half is Millhouse being a jerk to Lisa which makes her love him every time he is ruder to her.
This episode is just hard to watch.
i found the episode boring
That ep was ok
number 10 sounds a lot like Chicken Little
Boring Person Just without Barenaked Ladies.
It's similar, but this is worse because at least Chicken Little didn't try to commit suicide.

The worst episode in my opinion is the one where Lisa gets a restraining order, it's just a ridiculous storyline and Lisa's cruelty pissed me off including the lack of sympathy from the rest of the family, just a horrible episode and the only laugh I had was with the Gary Busey instructional video. Modern Simpsons as a whole is unbearable honestly.
Aidan Santistevan that episode made me hate Lisa even more
Homer for life
And so how did you feel when Bart got legal rights to move out? I bet you didn't mind him doing that, but you would hate it if it was about Lisa.
@@strawberrysoulforever8336 oh come on, that was a hilarious episode. There was nothing wrong with that episode. The restraining order episode was bad because she went way overboard with everything. I mean he had to sleep in the yard!!!! All because she was cynical and cruel. That lisa episode made me hate her so much and nothing has made me change that opinion. Oh well
@@juanmoreno1827 First of all, I did not find Barting Over redeemable past the first act. It started off well, but all the skateboarding stuff bored me. I'm glad you liked it, but I really did NOT. So saying "there was nothing wrong with that episode" is totally subjective.
When was the restraining order episode? Was it late? Also, Marge has made Homer sleep outside multiple times, starting in Homer's Night Out and happening again in Secrets Of A Successful Marriage (I know everyone hates that episode more than I do). So you see it's not just Lisa who does it.
@@strawberrysoulforever8336 Lisa is not Bart
They are different characters and my expectations for them are different
If Bart does it, it goes with his characters. If Lisa did it would be stupid
So yeah if it was Lisa, I would have hated it

Lisa goes gaga. Worst episode ever.
I've not seen the episode. I'm not a fan of Lady Gaga which is not personal.
interestingly.. that's what gaga does for promo for her own projects, paying the media to get everything hyped about her horrible projects. old Simpson episodes would mock it, especially Lisa.. that episode was like one big gaga pr stunt

THE DESCRIPTION OF A VIDEO! IDIOT!
Lol how can you not like Bart too
Re: "My SIster, My Sitter":
I think you're misinterpreting Bart's antics. They weren't meant to be a comedic high point. The purpose was to show Bart at his most immature, obnoxious, and petulant; it was when his pranks stopped being cute and started being desperate because, deep down, he's intimidated by his little sister being better than him.
If you look at it not so much as a "funny" episode and more as the culmination of years of Bart's resentment boiling over, it's a pretty emotional, uncomfortable episode. It's not the funniest episode, but then, neither was "Stark Raving Homer" or "Lisa's Substitute".
+LAVATORR You're way over analyzing. Bart's insecurity comes up occasionally but really isn't a big part of his personality for most episodes
+alex trebek You can't overanalyse art.
+LAVATORR I don't see how that makes it better regardless.
+alex trebek I'm sorry but you didn't put that answer in the form of a question so it doesn't count.
+TheRoflcer You just misinterpreted his answer. The video creator's reason for putting that episode on this list was because he thought it was trying to make bart's antics funny. It wasn't.
As someone diagnosed with ptsd, that episode just made me feel uncomfortable. Haha, abuse to the point of traumatization is funny right guys???
If it is presented it a cleverly written or funny way, than yes like all dark humor.
So what about the mini hints they do of Skinner's PTSD? Where he zones out to a memory of Vietnam?
@@Sewingbee23that’s funny cause it’s well done
@@pcvrisepic it's also very realistic as well
I am so sorry.
I think Season 10 was their worse season. So many clunkers. They tried way too hard to compete with South Park (and later Family Guy) when they didn't need to. It may also have something to do with Futurama starting.
EDIT: Another thing that may have affected Season 10 was the murder of Phil Hartman. While he wasn't a main character, he played several key characters forcing many abrupt re-writes. He was a great loss to the show.
+Samination That's true about Futurama. Perhaps alot of their best writers went into working on Futurama at the time
Season 10 was where the slide started.
One channel here has recently aired episodes starting from 1996. Once it got to 10, the difference was noticeable even from the season 9 finale the day before. It's like they purged the whole writing staff or something.
Samination i like your videos

The Gaga episode was the nadir of The Simpsons. It is a horror show. An abomination. It's torture porn.
On a brighter note, one of my favorite Simpsons lines: "Lisa, in this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!"
jack ryan one of my favourite lines too
The PTA Disbands?
jack ryan after I saw Boys of bummer, Springfield IS a bad city.
Personally I really started to dislike Lisa as the series went on. In the begining she was the voice of reason, but now the more I notice her she seems like the know it all, bossy girl. For example one of the worst moments with her was when she decided to push and destroy Homers Roast during his barbecue just because it was meat and she was a vegetarian
But she's always kind of been like that, even during the golden years. In the Season 5 episode, "Lisa Vrs. Malibu Stacey", she didn't allow her family to watch fox because they own chemical plants and she forced them to march in a gay rights parade. Even back in Season 2, she was going against her father for getting illegal cable and even thought about turning him in.
chilli beans I
Except that was the whole point of the episode? She destroyed the roast but then realized she was wrong, and learned to accept other people's beliefs and opinions. That's some nice character development right there.
I get that later seasons have made her more dislikeable, but it's precisely because they DON'T do what they did in that episode, which is, having Lisa realize she was being arrogant.
Problem is, it was character development without character development. At the end of the episode, as you say, she learns that she was wrong. And then they proceed to have her repeat that mistake a million times over, in different scenarios.
Yes, but I'm arguing that's not a good example of her being at her worst, because that was kind of the first time she screws up big and (supposedly) learns from it. The real problem are the subsequent episodes where they ignore that and have her act elitist and condescending by default.
I think Marge got mad at homer because the girl looked like a stripper and thought he was at a strip club, wich is what made her so mad.
That makes a lot of sense
But, has she completely forgotten that she went out with another guy behind Homer’s back in the previous episode? What a hypocrite.
@@thomashuffman3237 Homer's Night Out was intended to air before Life On The Fast Lane for that very reason. I think it was produced first. That's why Marge doesn't remember - because it literally happened after this.
@@strawberrysoulforever8336 I see. But still, based on how the episode was structured, the moral of "don't treat women like objects" comes across as very preachy
You know how Marge is. Whenever Homer or Bart are having fun, she has to rain on their parade. It's like, you put a whoopy cushion in her chair and she'll give you that dirty look.
10- agree 100% this episode is awful. I would’ve put this further down the list actually.
9- I like the compilation of Simpsons songs but I hate the storyline where Snake is trying to break on.
8- Agreed, Lerleen was better off just being on season 3, not sure why she needed a comeback. Homer was way out of character too.
7- As I said before, I like compilations of favourite moments.
6- I agree, they tried too hard here. I like the way it ended though.
5- this is my first time seeing this, but judging from what I’m seeing, and since it’s a later season, I’m gonna agree that this episode is stupid.
4- Agreed, but I don’t know about preferring the muppets haha.
3- Bart was funny for a little bit but they took the joke too far and for too long. I couldn’t stand the part where Lisa was taking him to hospital.
2- haven’t seen this episode but I hate humiliation of the characters in episodes. I hate Bart in this.
1- haven’t seen this episode either but it looks ridiculous. It looks like they tried to incorporate GaGa but failed. They’ve really lost Lisa’s character here.
Dance Moms Kardash Lisa goes gaga is by far the worst episode of all time
@@canadiancommunist5161 agreed.
Lisa Goes Gaga was okay for me. It did have a good moral about being yourself, but was pretty cruel to Lisa in the first half. It also was more light-hearted than the usually cynical Simpsons. My least favorite is either Trash of the Titans or Whacking Day
I haven’t seen the other ones people consider to be the worst (Saddlesore Galactica, The Principal and the Pauper, and many of the ones on this list)
Boys of bummer felt kinda like a family Guy episode , just without the shock humour
I watched lisa goes gaga to see how bad it was, now I'm writing a list of ways to kill lady gaga, the person who thpught it was a good Idea to add her in an episode, and take all of their money, and give it to everyone who had to suffer this episode,
It also made me pray that we never see the day that miley cyrus gets an apisode
Wow this fella REALLY hates Lady Gaga.
Bart missing the ball was probably dark like that to say something, like a message about being to cruel on someone because if sports or a different stupid reason
my worst episodes
when the school of Springfield is divided with genders. It made me angry when I was a child and it does now because how sexist it is to both male and female.
Remembering the episode in my head is making me realize how stereotypically sexist it was.
@@Philsta007 Why?
Damn
@@jackotherstar There are some where they just up and do that out of nowhere, and it just...bugs me. Like, it's mostly a pretty modern show, and suddenly ha ha, we're strawmanning stereotpyes of genders from the 1950s (or earlier)! Like...WHY? The one where Lisa keeps insisting that Girls Can Think Too and finds the computer-loom thing is another one.
It's like one of the writers was suddenly posessed by the ghost of their dead clueless grandpa...
And sadly it's going on now...
I actually stopped watching The Simpsons after Lisa goes Gaga too, I stay well clear of the later seasons now too
+ChippyGaming I remember actually looking forward to that episode after years of not watching the show. Despite being a fan of her's at the time, when I actually watched it, it made me take a break from the show indefinitely this time.
It actually got a lot better in season 26. There are a few dull episodes in it (Clown in the Dumps, and Super Franchise Me), but a lot are really good, almost as good as a season 4-10 episode. I also recommend the last few episodes of season 25, because Brick Like Me is an instant classic. As much as I hated Lisa Goes Gaga, I don't think you should judge the other episodes based off of that.
+Trollscape Comedy MAYBE I will give them a view
What u doing here chippy XD
+cat dog Trust me, "Brick Like Me" is possibly the best Simpsons episode in 15 years. Even if you otherwise stay clear from the show (which is perfectly understandable since most of it is crap nowadays) that one episode is a real treat.
The Principal and the Pauper, and the episode which implies that Homer's stupidity is all because of a crayon stuck up his nose are on my 10 least-favorite for sure. Both these episodes destroyed the character development for Principle Skinner and Homer, all for a half-baked premise that lasted only an episode.
Ultimately, I agree with your #1 worst (saw that when it was new and thought it was absolute celebrity-focused poorly-written garbage), though not some of the your others.
But HOMR was a great episode! The one where Homer becomes smarter after getting that crayon out of his head.
I agree that The Principal and The Pauper is the worst episode (haven't seen that other episode u mentioned) because Lisa Goes Gaga if more effort was put in it could have been a good episode However The Principal and the Pauper because it reveals that a beloved character is an imposter was doomed from the start the writers should not have even thought about creating this concept and Matt Groening shouldn't have let the episode air
Also the one that revealed that homers dad has been paying Lenny and Clark to be Homers friend this entire time.
John Sullivan honestly, I prefer Homer being dumb because of a crayon instead of a gene that makes the Simpson men stupid.
Principal and the pauper truly was horrible, a major character completely disrupted, the jokes in it very unfunny to add to it, and Springfield's heartless sending "the real Skinner" out of town tied to a train, and making his character an actual decent person? Every detail in this episode was put together in exactly the wrong ways, that aside from the horribly flawed premise. Then, the blue haired lawyer making everyone sign an advadaviate promising to never mention the whole incident again? Uh, it was a little late for that by then. A better move might've been to have made the whole "Skinner is an imposter and the "real" Skinner shows up" incident someone's dream. But, they didn't do that, and it's now too late. The entire Simpsons show now gained an unhealable scar.
Generally I HATE the future episodes, the ones in the later seasons at least
I also hate the episodes that don’t really have any morals of plot it’s just: let’s all bully Lisa for making something up but then stop because lady Gaga says so
One hungry Boi shut up
@@3psilon9 2543, when the covenant glass the planet Fox and (where Simpsons is by then relocated) ended the show forever . The staff is rumored to have said "thank god " in the seconds before impact
What about days of future past and barthood
That was (In my opinion) The absolute worst episode
@@3psilon9 Hello. I'm from 3271
I think the treatment of Bart in boys of bummer is too mean, he misses a ball and loses a game? That is ridiculous.
I hate the episode "the frying game" so much from all the other hated episodes. Homer kills an endangered species, so he must do labor for an old hag, then marge gets involved and both are treated like servants. When the old lady gets murdered by someone they are convicted and are sentenced to execution. The kids are upset and are taken to foster parents, so homer takes the blame for the whole thing and let's marge go, but when he was sent to the electric chair it turns out the whole thing was staged for some prank show and the old lady was a celebrity in disguise. This was the worst episode ever made
I vaguely remember that and yeah it sucked
Horrible episode, I know. So much bullshit in this one!
The episode where Homer dances with Lady Cashmere isn't just about him dancing with a woman and people making a big deal for no reason. Lady Cashmere is a known exotic dancer/stripper. She's seen sleeping with several men around Springfield including the mayor and Apu at different points and Homer was at a bachelor party where he dances with her. He'd just shoved money into her panties. Yes, strippers often choose that line of work themselves (though others are pressured into it, feel they have no other choice etc) but a lot of people including Marge, view that work as degrading because it makes women out to be entertainment toys for men for money. (some women feel empowered by this and power to them) Not only did the photo imply that Homer might be cheating on Marge, because Lady Cashmere sleeps around, but she felt it sent a bad message to Bart that women should just be viewed as eye candy for men. Also the entire town found out, passed the photo around and were gossiping about it. That's super embarrassing for anyone's wife or husband to deal with. So I definitely think she's a little justified here, although I agree, throwing him out of the house without an explanation on his part was a bit much.
I was going to comment this exact thing! I kinda feel like Phantom took things out of context with that one.
I always felt that that it was softened down because it was a kids cartoon. In reality Homer would have been photographed getting a lapdance from a naked stripper. That's why all the kids and dads loved the photo and that's why Marge went so mad.
Well that's how I see it.
Dave johnson Exactly. i always figured it was equivalent of actually kissing the lady or something, they just dumbed it down to make it more marketable.
"some women feel empowered by this and power to them"
Why do we have to defer to how a woman feels when judging whether something is moral or not?
Well said. The narrator in this video was clueless.
Bart is 10 not 9
Luke Wilson it makes sense because it's #10
i dunno i just wish they would end it. like, give it a dignified send off mirroring the one they gave futurama.
I hope they can recreate such a wonderful ending though, considering how the later episodes are
FAR too late for that..
show just got renewed for 4 more seasons, lul
Matt said when (sorry IF) the show ends, it will end similar to Futurama’s finale. It will close out with the same Christmas play as Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire making the show an infinite loop!
Is it bad that I laughed at "go to Bread"
Nope! The episode, "My Sister, My Sitter" is in my top 10 favorite episodes of season 8... maybe but what I laughed the most was the subplot of Homer and Marge. Not my least favorite but I seen worse probably the new ones. Yeah I will stick to the classics.
Season 8 is one my favorite Simpsons season since it has a lot of clever episodes like The Springfield Files, The Mysterious Voyage of Homer, Homer's Enemy, Bart After Dark, Hurricane Neddy, and Brother from Another Series.
@The Killager - I Liked that one too. Actually, there weren't many I disliked. It was all about guilt and Nth degree sibling angst and torturing your sister! (I have three lol)
Ben Jamin no I like it because Bart was clearly trying to mess with Lisa in an annoying way and he did in a clever way too.
Ben Jamin He
#10 You are supposed to feel horrified and angry at the citizens of Springfield for torturing a small child. It's completely ridiculous to vilify any kind of sports figure for blowing a game, because in the end, they don't matter, our lives are not decided on the outcome of a game. Yet, we as a nation are obsessed with sports, and put the athletes up on pedestals to be idolized so when one of them fails, they are dragged through the mud, vilified and hated for no reason at all, other than they ruined the outcome of the game. It's basically Bill Buckner's life in a nutshell.
It wasn't fun, though.
Also, the resolution was letting Bart pretending to have won the game despite his awful skils, so that nasty status quo remain: is fair and square to shun and demonize a person, ruining its life because he lost a sport game.
After all that crap, you could at least expect some jab at the whole sport culture like breaking stuff up or something, just like they did with that reality show's set after being dumped in a river by the TV Station.
I agree this episode is just sick and in my opinnion this episode is just a colossal F#$k up this show has ever made. This episode is simmilar to "some ones in the kitchen with sandy" And "if it smells like an ed." Bassicly a bart torture episode, everything that happend to bart was just over 1 Just...1 S%#^TY Mistake.
Just...
F$%K this episode!
F%$K the writers!
F%%k the hatred on Bart!
and most importantly, F#$k The citizens of Springfield!!!
Also i dont Know why phantom strider put the episode on the 10 spot it deserves to be in the 2 spot. Why Strider.... just.... WHY??????!!!!!!!
the whole episode is a jab at sports culture!
and "it wasn't fun though" no shit, It's meant to be dramatic. to see what so much hate and ridicule can do. and to show how crazy they all are.
and him winning the fake game was for bart, not for springfield.
I see someone watches mr enter
Sitcom
Definition: Situational Comedy
When you said Lisa's your favourite character i lost so much interest
+Shyolite I can understand it for earlier seasons, but at some point along the way, they portrayed her character to be pretty annoying.
+Cuckoo Phendula Correction: they portrayed *every* character to be pretty annoying. Ever heard of Flanderization?
The situation with Lisa is made more painful because she used to be one of the most interesting and complex characters in the whole cast, and the writers were never shy to explore her contradictions and subtleties. I guess that, to increase viewership, the writing was dumbed down and simplified to the point where the characters can be unrecognisable. Bart could be wicked, but he was still a 10-year-old boy. Lisa was a prodigy, but she was still a child. Homer could be oblivious, but he was good-natured. Marge could be nagging, but she was also adventurous. All those contradictions were pretty much dismissed. I guess the Big Suits thought comedy shows had no business challenging viewers and questioning their views; they should stick to jokes and the occasional satire.
As for Lisa, I don't mean to turn this into an authority argument, but she is Matt Groening's favourite character. Does that make you lose interest in the show? :)
+Fernie Canto IMO it's not that the show is purposely being dumbed down its just that the writers have gotten lazier and lazier. They screwed up the shows continuity so long ago that none of them care about it at all anymore. Couple that with the fact that they refuse to make any permanent changes from week to week and the show is basically stuck in some sort of fucked up limbo. Anymore they're either recycling old plot lines or doing something increasingly over the top and zany (which goes against the original writer's' idea/intent that the characters should act for the most part like real people in for the most part real situations).
Yeah, I used to kinda relate to her as a kid watching the early seasons; the weird dorky girl who didn't even quite fit in with her own family. It sucked when they turned her into an annoying generic feminist rather than just having her be smart and kind like before
I disliked Lisa............... until that restraining order episode. Dear God wasn't that a lazily written episode. That ending. That fucking ending made me HATE Lisa.
As a kid the Simpsons was my favourite show. I always connected to the story of a dysfunctional family, and honestly speaking, it was the only cartoon that didn't make me feel ashamed to have a messed up family life. I've watched every season over my twenty years of life and I think the new seasons are horrible! Bart, who was mainly a brat who would learn his lesson, is just a sociopath. Lisa, who was a smart girl who didn't fit in, is now a trend seeking jerk. and Homer and Marge went from a dysfunctional Marriage who still loved each other, to two sex crazed pervs who have no concept of family. I actually agreed fully with your list (Which i commonly do) and i always have my opinion and the occasional "well that wasn't that bad" moments but i cannot agree more with *Lisa Goes Gaga* Worst episode I have ever seen and it only shows people that you have to think only of yourself and only emulate what others think you should be. I never agreed more, or respected more, of any opinion about a T.V. show!
Sending so much love to you. I hope you've been able to continue to heal from your childhood.
About Papa Don't Leech, it seems as though Lily is just one of those people who got the short straw in life, even though she's a smart, capable, and thoughtful person. While I agree that it's wrong that she's treated poorly by her friends, family, and peers, it's also realistic. Some people just can't catch a break, no matter how much they deserve it.

The old simpsons artstyle is way better than this flash animation bullshit
And with that i mean before the very clear artstyle and not just the klasky csupo artstyle of the first 3 seasons.
+S H R 3 K B 0 Y Y 4.20 My favorite animation is from Seasons 2-4 and 12 (Idk why). I was watching the Simpsons Movie today, and the flash animation was kinda annoying.
+CHRISPLAYER 95
I agree, the new episodes just lacks the charm of the older episodes
hahaha. hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
+S H R 3 K B 0 Y Y 4.20 Agreed!! It's one of the many things wrong with everything after season 13...
"That 90s show" was just bad. Apparently Marge and Homer were in their teenage years in the 90s. And Bart was born in the 80s. I never got it. The story was no better. Every time it appears, I have to wash it out with a Season 3 or 4 classic to make up for it.
C Painter I think he could have put that 90s show instead of the clip shows. the clips shows had a reason to exist when they aired.
What's not to get? The characters never age so any stories of the earlier years of their lives change decades. It's weird, but easy enough to understand.
C Painter Well, the writers keep changing the timeline so the characters don't age. If you went by the character's ages (38, 10, 8, 1) in 1990, Maggie would be 28, Lisa would be 35, Bart would be 37, and Homer and Marge would be 65.
The worst part about that episode is the SJW teacher, just as I thought it couldn't get any worse, he calls the founding fathers of America "while slave owning men". That line alone made me shut off the episode. I have seriously never watched The Simpsons since then.
PatronSaintOfTroll Username checks out.
You forgot the Principal & the Pauper. I completely & totally agree with your number 1 pick, but disagree on Homer's Night Out. It's one of my fave episodes. It's awesome, & represents some of what the show was originally about.
Your perspective on My Sister, My Sitter is way off. Bart's parents set up the situation by putting Lisa in charge, and Lisa was too stupid to realize that this breach of trust would only insure that Bart acted out. Lisa could have pacified the entire situation by not trying to tell Bart to do anything. Instead, she acts as though she's a parent. Any older child is sure to take that wrong.
Personally I think you have it wrong, I thought it was showing Bart at his most annoying and obnoxious point, sort of how 'I hate Scott (forgot his last name)' shows cartman at his most evil, dark, and vengeful point.
Bart was wrong, but his parents and Lisa caused and aggravated it by assuming he needed Lisa's patronizing coddling. Expressing that much distrust in the older child when the child hasn't done anything wrong is an automatic guarantee for Bart's behavior. In other words, the whole family was stupid, and they deserved what happened.
Not that that makes it a good episode.
+NerdilyDone Lisa was not too stupid; Bart just didn't like the idea of his litter sister being the boss of him; aka his babysitter. Lisa is younger but she is far more mature in a lot of places so, yes, she was trusted to look after Bart and Meggy. It wasn't Lisa that was stupid but the parents. They know how Bart is so they should have known how things could have turned out. Lisa was acting as if she was a parent, as if she was "in control" because she was.... the in control sense. She was the babysitter
+NerdilyDone So basically you're saying that any authority figure other than his parents should NEVER tell Bart what to do because he'll just act out. Yeah, that... that's reasonable. (That was sarcasm)
+beastgirlsara Just because he's saying that shouldn't be the case with his younger sister who have a long history of fighting with eachother, then he's saying that he shouldn't listen to anyone besides his parents? What kind of stuff do you have to take in order to reach that conclusion?
I completely forgot about My Sister, My Sitter. It was... mildly traumatizing. Although I was about six at the time I first saw it.
Same actually.. Was about 6 at the time too
+City of Champions Films My Sister, My Sitter messed me up as a child. I developed phobias of large amounts of mud, docks & dislocations of limbs because of that episode.
Personally I hated Lisa because to me she was like one of those 'know-it-all' girls who think they're smarter than the rest, and I do laugh at Bart taking the piss but at the end of the episode I was cringing. It sent a bad message to kids watching that episode. What was worse at the end of the episode is that even though she nearly killed her brother, other parents still wanted her to babysit their kids! Terrible shoddy writing.
But I do agree that (even though I haven't seen the episode fortunately) seeing the premise of that Lady Gaga episode it deserves number 1, and maybe that has had (or was the start of) an influence on the feminist persona Lisa now has during the past bunch of seasons.
I thought the scene where he gives Maggie coffee ice cream was hilarious, but there ya go.
It was on at a time when Sky would actually promote new episodes with trailers. Maybe I only remember the funny scenes from that.
Sure Lisa may have been acting like a know it all, but she got the job done. But I feel that Bart was a real jerk in that one.
Watched 'My Sister, My Sitter' for the first time just last night, dear God Bart is such a little prick in that episode and he never even gets his oh so due comeuppance.
+cabshdun he had a broken arm
+ariel films inc Through his own actions.
+cabshdun Like that episode because I have absolutely no remorse for Lisa she ruins everything I think the show would be better if she was killed off... so IMO great episode
+MultiGamerGuy1 same but 2 seasons later with Bart the Mother made him my absolute favourite.
+MultiGamerGuy1 I dont really understand why you will hate Marge but thats your opinion
From my memory, one of the first episodes I saw that I genuinely hated was the one where Homer becomes some kind of love/relationship teacher and just uses it to gossip about Marge. He starts telling all kinds of secrets and embarrassing personal things about her to the class. Even when she finds out and tells him to stop, he makes it worse and worse, until Marge snaps. He was so unapologetically mean towards Marge (even for him) that it sucked the joy it of the episode.
i actually find go to bread funny
I laughed my ass off at that tiny joke.
Oh yea
+SuperCow_ Gaming same
+thrill house I don't think the reviewer realised that episode is *intentionally* bad. You're _supposed_ to feel as infuriated as Lisa, at least that was the way I took it. If Lisa were the type to curse her catchphrase for that episode would've been "Are you effin' KIDDING ME?" It was played off like those classic comedy duos from the 1900s like Laurel and Hardy. I can't remember the name but I'm sure there was a second episode made like that, so it must've been popular. I seem to recall Lisa sleeping on top of the house after literally tearing her own hair out over bart? Something like that.
I don't like the first base
I can't believe this guy doesn't like Bart Simpson, who doesn't like Bart Simpson??
Bart becomes annoying in a few episodes
+Omar Cerna most characters are annoying now, it's why i stopped watching the show

HidanKitten32 Actually yes i did she's actually a really good voice actor she does other really good ones :)
***** How is he stupid?! He has come up with some amazing and complex schemes. And he is kinda of bad but classic cool kid bad boy kind of stupid.
"That 90's show" which inexplicably retconned Homer and Marge's early days. this is my least favorite episode. I can forgive "Lisa goes Ga Ga" because it is a just a bland special guest appearance. But to move the date of Homer and Marge's marriage over a decade just so you can hop on the 90's nostalgia bandwagon is an insult to long time fans.
+msminmichigan Well here's the thing- I hate the retcon. We all do. But that episode was kinda funny. Homer as a grunge star was funny, and most Marge Homer flashbacks have some heart to them (there was one flashback after this that was just ugh, something with a treecarving or wtfever).
+Jenifer Joseph I know which one you're talking about. But here's the thing: that retconn ignored "That 90'a Show" and retconed again. it's like even the writers hated "That 90's Show"
The grunge band subplot was lazy writing.
msminmichigan Oh true no denying that. But lazy can be funny at points.
Cause I can never forget in "The Way We Was" that their graduation year was 1974
+msminmichigan Oh that episode gave me the shits, EVERYONE i know hated that so much. and what a terrible song they used!, it was a cover of Nirvana's song "Rape Me", that wasn't well thought out.
“Boys of bummer” almost made me cry if I had to be honest. They could have done it well as a more serious episode but they tried to make it comedic?
Most of the good writers left after season 8 and the show has been going down hill ever since. Sometimes they do come up with a good episode, But the characters personalities have really changed after the first 9 seasons. Bart felt bad about cutting the head off a statue good writers. Bart commits treason for a dirt bike bad writing!
Season 9 was pretty good. It gave us City of New York vs. Homer Simpson, Das Bus, Joy of Sect, Girly Edition, Lisa's Sax, The Cartridge Family, This Little Wiggy, Natural Born Kissers, Simpson Tide, and Trash of the Titans.
This is why Season 8 was the last good season. I've always told people that. Good to know someone else understands.
look at season 9... MANY incredible episodes. It has more weaker episodes than any season before it (besides perhaps s1), but that doesn't mean it's as weak a season as most that came after. This season has episodes like: Girly Edition (one of my favorite episodes ever), Lisa the Skeptic (one of the best and smartest episodes ever), The Cartridge Family (another one of the best), Bart Carny, The Trouble with Trillions, The Last Temptation of Krust, Das Bus, Dumbell Indemnity, and Miracle on Evergreen Terrace... all amazing episodes. Even the comparatively weaker ones or ones I don't love have lots of great stuff in them. Let's not exclude season 9 so quickly.
@@BrendanClifford I love the cartridge family episode too one of my favorites. The writers ruined Lisa's character buy making her too politically correct, making Homer a terrorist, making Bart commit treason. Bad writing in the later episodes. There are alot of gems. But the characters have been written poorly. That was my point I love the Simpsons. 👍
@@TheSilvertrigger good! But if you don't jump to agree about Girly Edition and Lisa the Skeptic at least I urge you to go rewatch those!
For the the worst Simpsons episode ever no shadow of doubt by far, it's The Simpsons Guy crossover, for me this episode reunites the worst of both Simpsons and Family Guy at the same time and put it on a single episode, it's like a nightmare becoming reality, it's the meaning of getting on deep of the well and start digging to see if you can get deeper that you already are.
felipeROCKZ That was a family guy episode tho. . .
Family Guy is not one of my favorite TV shows of all time.
I Love Simpsons. I sometimes enjoy Family Guy. But that episode was so godawful
That's a family guy episode stupid
It's a good Family Guy episode, not a bad Simpsons episode
How can anyone forget THAT 90s SHOW episode where they completely ignore that anything they did in the 90s never existed and homer started a grunge band, ruining all continuity.
+fittnow And they spoofed Nirvana....for some reason???
I'm pretty sure that episode isn't canon.
+CHRISPLAYER 95 do the Simpsons have a canon?
+SnerpySam I dont think they do. There's so many conflicting notions throughout the show, that I just take each episode as they are :)
Credit to you for picking some older episodes, but I personally feel the show started going downhill in a serious way in season 10 (season 9 was where the seasonal rot really began showing-it gave us Principal and the Pauper, after all), and by now it’s just plain sad. Homer’s gone from being a bumbling idiot who still loves his family to a screaming psychopath who seems to loathe his wife and children (when he acknowledges they exist, anyway), and by this point, his and Marge’s relationship feels less sweet and more depressing and borderline abusive. The animation’s gone from fluid and expressive to stiff, rigid and soulless. There’s a couple of diamonds in the rough from the ‘zombie Simpsons’ era (Marge Gamer, Holidays of Future Passed), but even those don’t quite hold up to the classic era. I was actually upset when Futurama was brought back, because while its original cancellation was disappointing, it nonetheless meant the show didn’t end up going down the same road as The Simpsons. Even the revived series was starting to show cracks, but that’s a comment essay for another day. The Simpsons used to be groundbreaking; now it *is* the ground. It’s become more and more mean spirited and nasty (season ten is where this really started setting in, and (TW for a mention of rape) there was that horrible episode in season fourteen-I think-where Marge rapes Homer). Of the seasons I consider ‘classic’ the only truly bad ones I can think of are the season five finale ‘Scenes From a Marriage’ and season eight’s ‘My Sister My Sitter’.
Simpsons is NOT the same show it used to be. It is now family friendly garbage

The simpsons have gotten so downhill since season 16-18

Metallica gets a 20 second clip. Lady gaga gets an entire fucking episode? There is truly no justice in this world for all.
+Gunner Ginn ...And Justice For All
+Gunner Ginn U2 got a song and a cameo, Green day got a cameo show that literally sinked (I think they have a few cool songs), Guns 'n Roses never appeared (and I hope they never will, the band isn't what they used to be). And by the way, you should watch How I Spent my Strummer Vacation (s14e02). It's not about metallica, but it's about the Rolling Stones.
+Douglas Rampazo Also The Who appeared in the show.
Didn't weird al cameo a couple times?
+Seychermanium Even fucking Mario,Sonic Donkey Kong and other video game characters are in the Simps.
The episode where Maude Flanders dies deserves to be in this list. Sure, she was not the best character, but the way the writers killed her off was just plain distasteful and very unnecessary.
After that, they only dedicated to make unfunny and stupid shit with Ned's character...
It was because the voice actress died x
No, Maggie Rosswell is alive.
They killed her off because the actress quit
Yet it still was always unnecessary, since the actress returned to the show anyway.
agree.
You insulted the 'go to bread' joke?! :O
+TheDoctor2222 I think he doesn't get the go to bread line. It's SUPPOSED to be stupid. The line itself isn't what's funny; it's Bart delivery and Lisa's reaction.
+TheDoctor2222 Its like, meant to be lame....they're siblings...and at that, children! I remember an argument where my brother said he wanted to "go to bed." And I said, "Whats that? hit you in the head?" So I threw a baseball at his noggin! Lol, we were Bart and Lisa's age. He being younger. You're right in the guy not getting the joke is meant to be corny....because most of what children say to each other...is corny! Lol!
Drew Mayes Really? Oh, but they are though. Such disgusting trolls of the underbelly that is this great internet. So funny.
+Jenifer Joseph some like stupid humor, others prefer clever humor.
neko art Or you know, both can work.
I personally felt like The Principal and the Pauper should've replaced 5 or 4 as not only it ended the golden age of The Simpsons, but it insulted the audience, had very poor writing, contradicts previous episodes, and it was so bad that Matt Groening himself considers it non-canon, I'm surprised you didn't put it on the list
Exactly! The Principal and the Pauper insults the audience, takes a dump on the character of Principal Skinner, and is riddled with plot holes (why does this supposed unrelated stranger look like a perfect combination of Sheldon and Agnes' traits, and the real Skinner looks only a little bit like his supposed parents? how did Agnes not know what _her own son_ looked like? is she really _that_ bad at recognizing faces? are we to believe that all of the moments where Skinner's love of and devotion to his job as an elementary school principal were all one big lie, even though there was no indication that that is the case? and so on, and so forth). It's no wonder Matt Groening decanonized it.
@@TheMbmdcrew The concept is bad, but the actual quality of the episode isn't near as bad as many of the episodes from the HD era. The episode is still very funny with a lot of chuckleworthy jokes in spite of that. Whereas 70% of the HD era episodes are mostly dull, lifeless and lacking any good comedic edge
my most hated episode Iis when lisa put a restraining order on her brother and than homer and marge didn't ground her or make her live outside instead of bart to get her to lift it
Since I don't like Bart that much, I enjoyed this episode. Bart treated his own sister like a piece of crap the first half of the episode, so it's understandable why Lisa reacts like that.
ReasyRandom that was Lisa's long overdue revenge for my sister my sitter.
I think I never seen that episode but my most hated episode is Maximum Homerdrive
The one good thing about that episode is the title of it it's a easter egg to one of the first roles of Yeardley Smith (voice of Lisa) but it has no jokes or real story
The story is that Homer got a Semi and he and Bart need to deliver a trailer full of crap to who gives a shit land, and Marge and Lisa just get a door bell and fuck that up
To be honest, you should have just put "EVERY CLIP SHOW EVER" in one spot, to make room for bad episodes that are really insulting. I'm surprised you left out 'Love Is a Many-Splintered Thing', 'Homer vs Dignity', 'Kill the Alligator and Run', 'Moe Goes from Rags to Riches', and 'Clown in the Dumps' off the list.
I often can't sit through new episodes completely, I usually judge them based on the first couple of minutes, and if they are particularly boring or unfunny, I just stop watching. I nearly never find myself doing that with old episodes, even clip shows.
Back in the day, The Simpsons would invite a guest voice and proceed to make them look silly. (Barney to David Crosby: "You're a musician??") You usually had to be a good sport to participate. Nowadays they treat them with reverence, which defeats the purpose and is just lame.
Wtf
+Joshawott 100 nagger?
+Glorified Truth Oh yeah. I hadn't put my finger on it before. But you're right - spot on!
"Ohh no. Bette Midler".
Yeah my favourite was when they had Stan Lee cameo, they poked fun at him and it was awesome.
Videl Gamer Girl
"Wrecked it? Or made it better?"
the problem with the Simpsons is they tried to be like Family Guy and it didn't work
Family Guy is a rip-off of what the Simpsons used to be.
No wonder Family Guy's gotten worse. They're trying to get away from the "Simpsons rip-off" by being crueler, so The Simpsons follows suit, so Family Guy continues to run away by getting crueler, and so on.
The Simpsons came first
Actually family guy tried to be a ruder version of the simpsons, but its just not funny at all.
@@SquidMKW it use to be hilarious. But yea the newer epsidoes aren't funny
I always felt bad for Bart on Boys of Bummer. I mean, yeah I like him, but even if I didn't, I'll still feel bad for him.
Amazing list Strider.
Lisa was one of my role models too.
What's so great about baseball anyway?
it's a National Pass time, plus Baseball is WAY Better then Football
Because it's better than football the American kind
Heather S also my dad is obsessed with baseball
Baseball is what the kids with asthma play. The real athletes play football and wrestle.
Not a fact
ok I should have listened to you about Lisa goes gaga! I watched the scene when marge and gaga are talking about Lisa and when Marge said she didn't care about Lisa, it HURT HOW MUCH CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT WENT DOWN THE DRAIN IN THAT 57 SECONDS OF CONVERSATION!!!!! just like you I love Lisa, and she makes some pretty clever jokes and is a great role model , BUT THIS EPISODE DESTROYED ME!!!!!!!!!!!!
=( =( =( =( =( =(
Thank you for saying this episode. He acts as if there was some conspiracy by the singer to ruin the show, she did not write this crap. It is the shows fault but, he seems to be blaming a guest star as if they control anything other than their voice when they do the show.
WickedWayz Agreed. I'm surprised he went that far at insulting a woman (who, during that time, was a really really big deal in pop culture) over guest appearing in an episode that was 100% the writer's fault. He said it himself, the episode with Michael Jackson was wrote well. This episode? Did nothing but break Lisa down as a character and spend 80% of the rest of the time pandering to Lady Gaga for appearing. I'm no big fan of hers, but it's not her fault the creators decided to portray her that way.
It's an old video though, so I hope he matured up a bit regarding his criticism of an episode made during a time when The Simpsons could get cancelled and I'd cheer loudly.
It's not really Lady Gaga's fault, she was just a guest star... I BLAME THE WRITERS!! Also the joke about how Gaga wears crazy clothes dragged out for way to long.
Scarlet Shadow, you said it all...you BEAUTIFUL PERSON!!! I did even WORSE...
(Sob!) oh, god! I made the terrible mistake of....WATCHING THE WHOLE BLOODY EPISODE! Oh, goodness! Help me! It is THE WORST Episode ever
Thanks for talking about Lisa Goes Gaga! Growing up this show was a big part of my viewing TV and I really empathized with Lisa as she struggled to fit in, felt she has to change for others, worried over her looks and was bullied etc. I'm sure not all Modern Simpsons is bad, but that was just..so uncomfortable to watch. Especially the ending which made little sense to me.
I hated the Bart centered future episode with his kid and his ex-wife. I thought it was horrible and told a story we didn't need or want. I thought that future episodes were sub-par in general, but were okay enough up until Lisa the President. That one was half good, and ended up having a trigger in it making it unwatchable now.
So you prefer to watch Bart attempt sucide than a "remembering old times" episode
Well I guess a terrible episode is better than a boring one. But yeah I think the suicide one should've been higher. Apparently someone made a creepypasta because of that episode too.
He put it at number 10 because of the fun side plot.
Fully agree with the Lurleen Lumpkin episode. I'm one of I'm sure millions of former diehard Simpsons fans who's now a casual fan at best- and that episode is what really did it for me.
The treatment she received was disgusting, especially against a sweet character like her.
The PTSD episode as well is just god awful.
My favourite episode is Bart vs Thanksgiving. It actually makes me cry seeing the connection between Bart and Lisa, and the love the family has for each other in general, especially being from a loving but dysfunctional family myself like a lot of Simpsons fans.
So its downright offensive when you go from Lisa crying because her big brother has run away even though he ruined her centrepiece- all the way to Homer teaching an army of robot college students with Neil Degrasse Tyson
Tbf Lurleen tries to have an affair with a married man and even made out with him without his content so technically Marge has a good reason not to like her.
"I'm sure Elon Musk is a great guy" hahahahahahahahahahaha..... No
Anything after 1999 is unwatchable. Simpsons is both my favourite and least favourite show of all time.
Adamatronamus That's...interesting.
Meh, more like 2004 I guess.
Seasons >12 = CANCER
I thought Season 12 was okay, Season 15 was when it really started to suck.
IMO after season 19 they started to become less good, but I still like them.
I REALLY hate the episode where Lisa decides to become a vegetarian. Because Iwas raised in a vegetarian house, but we never cared if other people eated meat or not and didn't try to convince them of anything. So seeing Lisa crash a barbecue because of a ideological tantrun really triggers me of
PedroFelix you were raised in it, she wasn't. That episode was her struggling with her beliefs and not knowing the best way to deal with them (as an 8 year old wouldnt)
PedroFelix I didn't hate the episode but I just fucking HATED Lisa in that shit. She fuckin ruins a WHOLE MEAT PARTY to get rid of ham because she's a vegetarian.
But it coined "You don't make friends with Salad". Best. Ever.
That's part of the point of the episode. She goes too far with her newfound ideology and tries to force it on other people.
You can draw parallels to anything with that.
'but we never cared if other people eated meat'
What you really mean is:
'but we never cared if other people ate meat'
Just passing through~
Apu: Oh I had the most wonderful dream where I died.
Manjula: Oh no you don't, not til they're in college.
Apu: Listen, I'll die when I want to.
I love that bit.
I think Miracle on Evergreen Terrace should be on the list. I mean:
Bart ruined the Christmas tree and presents
Lied to his family that a burglar took them
Because of his lie, everyone in Springfield hates the Simpsons and stole all of their furniture and pets
In the end they stole all their stuff so they won't be mad at them anymore, it's funny lol
Barts gets a f should be on the list
how is Bart your least favorite
themightysorsor Maggie is my least favorite. She doesn't have as many jokes as the others, and has literally no personality.
Marshadow the Magical Yet the only thing that's memorable about Maggie is the fact that she shot Mr Burns
themightysorsor my favorites are Bart and Homer
EXACTLY!!!
Well I like Bart but sometimes he can be a brat but so is Lisa
Idk why all the downvotes, I agree with the list, especially that episode where Lisa babysits Bart. Fuck that episode pissed me off. And the one we're Bart tortures homer is even worse! It made me so mad when Bart actually ignored his father being hung.
Fizalex That babysitting Lisa one actually terrified me when I was younger and I still feel a strong undercurrent of revulsion and discomfort towards it as a 20 year old.
I always thought it was just me, nice to see it soured some other people's mouthes
some people can't handle hearing an opinion that is different from theirs
the downvotes are because of the narrators voice. His accent is annoying and pretentious sounding.
Burt Reynolds that's the dumbest reason I've ever heard someone criticize phantom for. pretty superficial of you dude.
I have noticed that the simpsons has started getting more gory than it used to
Family Guy used to be the copy of the Simpsons. Now, the Simpsons is a copy of family Guy.
"There are few episodes of the Simpsons I consider _bad_"
* checks date *
Ohhhh, ok
I don't get the joke.......
@@superpapaextreme9064 The newer seasons of the Simpsons past a certain point are considered by many to have fallen off in quality
@Kat Bird isn’t the Simpson’s decline generally agreed to be in the early 2000s? There were plenty of “bad” episodes when the creator uploaded this, lol.
@@justinc.5591 true, but it's sort of been marked (generously) with the episode where Skinner was revealed to have stolen someone's identity as the point where there's a visible and drastic shift
Not saying I agree, but that was the basis for the joke
Why would the ambassador do such a thing?
^makes it all worth it.
Why would he, indeed.
"We got a report that a Miss Lisa Simpson spotted an unidentified flying object."
"I DIDN'T SEE ANY UFO!"
"That's right ma'am, you didn't..."
I like the 'My sister, my sitter' episode. 'Wait a minute. Let me see that wheel barrow...that's a Yard King! Top quality barrow."
the fucking episodes in which:
-Homer kisses a kebab for like 5' in a disgusting way
-Edna and Ned start dating
-Edna is fired
-the family moves to Waverly Hills
-Bart wants a brother (again)
-Chalmers teaches Bart just because
and MANY more
I Think That Was a Bit Good, I Give That a 5.7/10
THANK YOU...
PROFILE PICTURE
Which one where Edna was fired?
Mateo Trapiello Let's just say Modern Simpsons in general and be done with it.
I'm binge watching modern Simpsons and haven't found a single episode (aside from Barthood) that made me laugh and feel the feels Simpsons used to give me.
But with that said there are some gems of Modern Simpsons like Barthood as I've said before. If you want an episode arguably on the quality of the first 8 (and for some people 9 and 10 too) seasons, I highly recommend Barthood. It's basically Bart being overshadowed by Lisa but not in a mean way or anything and unlike the other flash forward future episodes, Bart actually gets a happy ending. Don't dismiss all episodes of Modern Simpsons just because they aren't the classics because you might just be missing out on some real gems.
Also a lot of the Halloween specials aren't funny anymore, they're just flat out unpleasant. Like the one where Homer eats himself.
Listen I'll die when I want too
Homer's night out was actually an amusing episode
especially beause most of springfield laughed at homer, and when it came out, dancing with someone who dressed like that was a "cheating move"
god he doesn't even take it into account
Homer' s night out points out an aspect of Marge that I just hate.
Okay, She runs Homer out of the house because he danced next to a dancer at a party? That's not okay, but destroying the town is okay?
He can't not go to church, but he can manage a country singer, he can forget to pick up Bart from practice.
He can drive Frank Grimes to suicide, He drove Flanders into a mental hospital, yet it's okay with Marge.
Homer can hide his fugitive mom in their home, but Marge puts her foot down and kicks homer out over a dance?
That strange since of morality ruins Homers night out for me.
Robin Neher you need to know a few things, the time this was made was a much more conservative time. Dancing with the woman would be like if he danced with a stripper today, not to mention that I'm pretty sure most of those you listed came after that episode,
He didn't drive Frank grimes to suicide, he drove him crazy by just being who he is, Frank lost his mind and acted like homer, grabbing onto an electrical circuit, killing him.
He didn't drive Ned to a mental hospital, Ned lost his cool after the house Springfield made fell down. He drove himself there because he felt he had been too angry,
She let his mom stay because A she didn't know she was a fugitive at first, and B Marge values family. So ,wrong again!
And forgetting to pick up Bart? What parent hasn't forgotten to pick up their kid once?
Much like half the stuff he said for that part on the list most cane AFTER that episode,
Would you be okay with your significant other dancing with a stripper? Hmm?
I've watched most of the episodes you talked about recently.
It's understandable Marge would get upset about Homer dancing with another woman.
agreed
Even the worst episodes during the Simpsons golden age looks good compared to the episodes of now. & speaking on the homer's night out episode, I know it's from season 1 but man.....she clearly dont know what's coming for her in the next 27 seasons. I have seen homer do worst shit in the 1st 11 seasons I watched so far but she puts up with it.
Any true fan of The Simpsons would know that the show has always been about more then just haha funny jokes. Yet you point out "where is the funny in that" various times throughout this video at themes and points that dont fit your "anything that isn't positive/warm-hearted and a reflection to how I was raised, I will dismiss it" attitude.
'Eight Misbeaheavin' is a Classic, I also first saw this at a young age and to me it showed realism in a humorous way. No matter how people you meet who say my child is the angel of my life, even they will be able to empathise to what Apu and Manjula go through and the fact of the eight situation intensifies the feelings in a sensational way.
Despite how much you fall at the knees towards Lisa, 'My Sister, My Sitter' seemed to be a episode for the many people who disdained Lisa and her know it all, pretentious attitude. But not just that, so much more happens in this epoisde which makes it great yet it seems you discarded all this once again due personal weigh ups. It's obvious that your prejudice towards your idol made you put this one on the list because it's not a bad episode by any means.
That being said you do mention that these are your 10 top worst episodes in video, then why not add a "My" to the start of that title ;)
+TheHiddenAnswer I would hardly call Eight Misbehavin a classic. Its just a typical, nonsensical, shallow Scully-era episode.
+TheHiddenAnswer Nope
+TheHiddenAnswer I've never heard anyone but you claim that Eight Misbehavin is a classic. Even the heartfelt "real" moments are generally still wrapped in a layer of comedy. In his opinion, these moments were missing that layer of comedy.
also, what is a fucking "weigh up"? No, just no sir. Attempt to come off as witty and insightful denied, these episodes are crap you hipster flake.
+Jack Ng-Dong It took you a week to come back with that "weigh up" comment lol
Crazy looking back, because there was a time where Elon Musk was legitimately well liked and respected. Like there was a time where he was like the real Tony Stark. Now we see him for what he really is.
IMO it’s because most people don’t know anything about engineering or rocketry so when he made grandiose claims and see a billion dollar company behind it, they’d take him at his word.
When he injected himself into social media and politics - things most people do know - it rapidly became apparent how much of an idiot he really is.
The excuse of “eccentric billionaire” doesn’t hold up so well when every decision he makes is stupid and bad and despised by most non-sycophants.
Indeed.
The one where he accuses the neighbors of being terrorists is, to me, the worst.
+David Lee Morea "You might say I'm Iraqi!"
+David Lee Morea That one was lame too and should have been on the list.
+David Lee Morea Crappy knock-off of an American dad episode.
+deadguy718 actually the american dad's episode teaches you to judge people based on their stereotypes. while the simpsons did the opposite
You can't take cruelty. The idea of someone who seems like a nice woman who never wronged anyone and seems like she should have a great life instead be treated so poorly by the world kind of shows that sometimes, life is unfair. P.S. I would believe Homer would think about killing his father. He has been putting up with him for so long and can't believe he's still alive that I can understand him seeing him as too much of a burden. Also, how would you feel if your wife gave birth to 8 kids and you could only handle one, maybe two kids. I would probably feel shocked and feel worried that I probably couldn't have the money or patience to care for 8 at one time. I also expect Bart to be so cruel to Lisa and watching what she goes through make me feel sorry for her.
"It's why Lisa is my favourite Simsons character."
Oh god. You're that one guy who liked Scrappy Doo, aren't you?
+Kiltmaster No... No I did not like Scrappy Doo.. He was not a good character. I think we can both agree on that one.
+Kiltmaster Lisa is my favorite character too, she is the one character that appears to have any consistent principles and while her stories aren't generally laugh out loud funny they are almost always very emotionally authentic and contain great messages for the younger fans. She was a big influence on me when I was growing up, just like phantomstrider8, and she helped give me the courage to do the right thing even when it is unpopular.
I can fairly say that I credit Lisa, in some small amount, for helping make me into someone that I can be proud of.
+Kiltmaster Lisa is no Scrappy Doo. You should be ashamed for even suggesting it.
+Kiltmaster Maggie will always be better!
+phantomstrider8 I always liked Lisa too, but the episode where she sleeps in the trees and is presumed dead kind of destroyed the character for me, when she went from becoming the show's voice of reason to being a left-wing parody.
Phantom: “I’m sure Elon Musk is a great guy.”
Spongebob Narrator: “One Twitter takeover later.”
Ron Howard: “Elon Musk was not a great guy.”
The principal and the pauper was when everything went sour for me
I don’t think it suddenly went bad after season 9, but I think it began to get worse in season 10
Thankfully , I never saw lisa goes gaga .
Oh, it's loads of laughs! All of them funny gaga gags and jokes! One of the best episodes ever. You'd be pleasantly suprised! Really.
