Redditor butter00pecan wanted hear about everyone's favorite Simpson moments. So they asked the audience to share:
"What is the best episode ever of The Simpsons?"
I love anything involving Mr. Burns.
He's my favorite.
So Many...
Homer Simpson Call Mr Plow Thats My Name That Name Again Is Mr Plow GIFGiphy"Mr. Plow is up there. I also love the Beer baron episode. Guatemalan Insanity Peppers and King-sized Homer were he gains weight to get on disability are great also. Too many to choose. Homer goes to clown college, medicinal marijuana. I could keep going."
Bear_Hoonden
We Do!
"'Who controls the British pound?'"
"'Who keeps the metrics system down?'"
"'We do! We do!'"
NastyLittleBagginses
"I was a Freemason at the time this came out. Watching this together with my lodge, including a bunch of seniors who had never seen an episode before, was wonderfully surreal."
Easy_School2457
"Who keeps Atlantis off the maps? Who keeps the Martians under wraps? We do! We do!"
Whatsherface112
Homerun...
"Homer at the Bat will never be surpassed. 'I thought I told you to trim those sideburns!'"
TimmiT401K
"It's a perfect episode. I'm not an American. I've never watched baseball. Therefore I don't know any of the athletes in this episode. But the writing, the flow, the jokes etc. are just phenomenal."
MurturinMikli
"This episode is special. It truly feels like there's one hour of joke content and yet it's the same length as any other episode. It's non-stop pure comedy."
lorty
The GOAT
"Hank Scorpio."
Novel_Board_6813
"'You Only Move Twice.' The absolute GOAT. 'Homer, if you could kill a few people on your way out, it would really help me.'"
deucemagnet
"Bart and Lisa's new school in that episode had the website www.studynet.edu. The entire premise of the joke was that the school was fancy enough to have its own website."

March
The Simpsons GIF by FOX TVGiphy"My personal favorite episode is the one where the plant goes on strike lol Lisa needs braces, dental plan!!"
Epicthrasher890
"So we'll march day and night by the big cooling tower, they have the plant but we have the power!"
GumdropsandIceCream
Oh Lisa, she's always a hoot.
The Simpsons Hearts GIFGiphy"The Valentine’s day episode where Ralph gets his heart broken, Bart does a Nixon impression. with his butt, I Choo Choo choose this one."
SensitiveOrangeWhip
Burns Origin
"The X-Files one where Homer sees an alien that turns out to be Mr. Burns."
Inevitable_Warthog49
"This one is my vote, because if not for that episode, I would never have been allowed to watch the Simpsons! My mom was staunchly against it, but she loved X-Files and Star Trek."
"An episode that not only had Mulder and Scully but also Leonard Nemoy was too much for her to resist! And once she finally sat down and watched an episode, she realized it really wasn't that bad, and the ban was forever lifted."
Rhombico
All Thumbs
"I love the episode when the meteor is coming towards Springfield. The bit when the family are sat on the roof and Homer says, 'While the unprepared are still sitting around twiddling their thumbs going do do do do do do' is one of my favourite Simpsons scenes. And also, 'You should all be ashamed of yourselves, especially his CHILDREN!'"
Substantial-Push6378
Non-stop gold...
The one where Bart sells his soul to Millhouse. Every time I try to use an automatic faucet or door that doesn't work, I think of that episode."
TrowMe46240
"This is my vote. The jokes are just non stop. The dino sponges, the street sweeper, the ET fumigation parody, Alf pogs, everything about Uncle Moe's Family Feedbag (hm, sounds good), the fact that comic store guy actually bought and sold said soul... list goes on. It's just non stop gold."

Classic
Plotting The Simpsons GIFGiphy"Who Shot Mr. Burns Pt. 1 because we spent the whole summer guessing."
"The Twisted World of Marge Simpson where Marge gets the pretzel franchise is an episode that I love. Jack Lemmon is great and some classic Homer and Fat Tony. 'You mean the mob only did me a favor to get something in return? Shame on you Fat Tony.'"
CobraCornelius
The Simpson's will never not be classic.
What are some of your favorite episodes that we missed? We know there's plenty. Sound off in the comment section.
Redditor Supersmaaashley wanted everyone to discuss the bosses who remind them of something out of television.
So they asked:
"Do bosses like Michael Scott actually exist? And if you work/ed for one, what's your craziest story?"
Michael Scott is not a hero. He's funny. But not a hero.
He was the principal...
The Breakfast Club Rockstar GIFGiphy"I had a boss sneak up behind a middle-aged female employee and pick her up, then immediately drop her down saying 'I didn't think you weighed that much!' He could not stop laughing. He was the principal. This occurred during passing period in a crowded middle school hallway."
jezebellrae
$2 per time...
"I had a boss once who spent all morning locked in his office. He asked me to come in after lunch and he showed me a handmade graph. He then proceeded to explain that this was a chart of all the sex he had ever had in his life. 'See, here it is blank until I joined the army. Then I went to a sex worker here.'"
"Then they sent me to Vietnam where they only charged $2 per time. That's where you see the big jump. I was on two tours but then got shot in the face. I came back home and you see how it just drops to almost nothing. 'I was astounded.'"
Bolaixgirl_105
between our desks...
"I had a boss that used to watch me through a gap in the glass partition between our desks. She wanted to see if I was paying attention during meetings. One day, I put a large folder to cover the gap and she freaked. I still laugh when I think about it."
harperv215
So Hot!
"Never have worked for one myself, but my dad told me a story about his boss who was giving out awards to everyone in honor of how long they've worked there, and he would give speeches for each person."
"A woman employee received her award and he gave a speech about the story of how she came to work there. And he said, 'At first I didn't want to hire her because she was so hot.'"
"My dad's not working there anymore, but I love that story because I will never not picture Michael Scott giving Pam a Dundie and saying that about her."
Who said that?
ginger GIFGiphy"I had a redhead boss who made us all sit down and watch a training video about how we shouldn’t refer to him as a 'ginger' because it is bullying. No one had ever called him that."
I'm having PTSD flashbacks.
I declined...
Staring Episode 2 GIF by The OfficeGiphy"My a** boss insisted his daughters be flower girls in my wedding. I declined. At the reception, he told me I was spending too much time talking to one person, and I need to work the room more."
holmen-2001
Fluffer
"I once worked for a family company (not my family) where my boss often had loud fights with her husband, mother, and sister (an addict with a penchant for stealing) in the halls. I have a million wonderful stories about that workplace but one that stuck out to me is this..."
"Once for someone’s birthday, she decided it would be fun to buy an anatomically correct, male blowup doll. She took this doll into the office, blew him up, and dressed him in a construction vest (the company was a contractor). When I walked by, my boss was trying to manipulate the position of the blowup penis, and asked me if I wanted to be the 'fluffer.'"
Bananabreadandchill
Fool
"I literally had a boss who would stop us in the middle of our work and hold company-wide meetings talking about 9/11 truther conspiracies and chemtrails. Mind you we were furniture-making company. He would get so caught up in his conspiracy theories that he forgot to order wood to make furniture one month."
PAzoo42
Feedback
"We had an anonymous feedback program at work, and our boss was livid with the results, particularly with several comments that he frequently lost his temper in meetings and would yell at us."
"The more he talked about how incorrect and unfair and hurtful these comments were, the redder and angrier he got, until he finally pounded the table and shouted, 'I DO NOT! SCREAM! IN MEETINGS! OKAY?'"
BigShoots
I can relate...
Awkward The Office GIFGiphy"He held a meeting with our whole team less one person to discuss said person being gay. We all knew for well over a year, and never made a deal of it. So yes, they are out there and that is why the show is so funny to me. I can relate."
lala710
Michael Scott/David Brent moment...
"I believe every manager in the world has had a Michael Scott/David Brent moment; that is what makes it so hard to watch at times. I have had nights where I have often wondering how many I have had and how badly was I viewed as a result."
"My worst I think is telling someone they got a job (in a warehouse) and then realising I had told the wrong person and having to tell the him 30 minutes later that he didn't have a job after-all... dreadful."
ell_wood
Not Funny
"In real life it's not funny. I had a boss like that in my retail job."
"He was annoying, constantly making bad jokes, and then he ramped it up when he decided he wanted to get me to quit. For the most part I just ignored him, until he started a rumor I was hooking up with an underage coworker. Then I confronted him, and he backed off."
"Eventually he got fired for sexual harassment."

$50
Pass Thumbs Down GIF by TinasheGiphy"I had a boss once offer me $50 if I came in to cover a shift for him. Instead of paying me cash he gave me a comic he claimed was worth $50. It wasn't."
ClioEclipsed
Fridays
"I've never watched The Office but I had one former boss who was a bit odd. He was department head for a group of adults ranging from mid 20s to mid 60s, and in staff meetings he said on a number of occasions that he needed to go 'potty.'"
"He'd occasionally not bother doing things like managing or coordinating and instead would take on some of the tech's jobs (IT) like preparing new laptops for staff or other stuff which more often than not had to be redone from scratch because he f**ked something up."
"Occasionally on Fridays he would come to work dressed in these very poofy white long sleeve shirts as if he'd just walked off the set of Pirates of Penzance and accessorized this with a puka shell necklace."

Happy Thanksgiving!
"I used to work stocking shelves at a grocery store. Thanksgiving was coming up and we were slammed. We were getting a massive shipment in, almost twice as many pallets as we normally get. After we unload the truck, we're all scrambling to get things done so we can leave on time."
"Well our manager calls an emergency meeting. We all get into the back office and he proceeded to have a 45 min meeting about this is a big shipment and we can't waste time. I thought it was a weird joke but he thought he was giving us a pep rally."
Lefthandfury
The Worst
Angry Season 9 GIF by ShamelessGiphy"I filed a complaint about my manager with corporate over very unsafe (mentally and physically) work conditions. My boss responded by holding a meeting and telling us she could slit our throats and not feel bad about it. The worst job experiences ever and it wasn’t even a big deal job, I was a f**king maid."
theoriginalsauce
week to week...
"Late to this party... I told him we were pregnant, but it was early and we weren't telling anyone (we had had a few miscarriages), so he emailed the entire agency congratulating us. After the baby my wife had a little belly. Nothing major just a Pulp Fiction 'pot.' A year or so after the baby was born he congratulated her in the parking lot on being pregnant again. We were not. His wife was there and was mortified."
"A year later he congratulated me again saying he saw my wife and when were we due. This was in front of all the ladies in the office. Again, we were not pregnant. I once made him cry bc I told him a client didn't really like him and would rather deal with me."
"He had one of those yoga balls he would sit on instead of an office chair and he would bounce up and down while taking to you. The list is exhaustive. This was at the height of the American Office popularity so it was downright amazing to see it represented so accurately on a week to week basis."
doordonotaintnotry
Michael
"They certainly do. That's why the show's so funny. Had a general manager give a line that sounded exactly like it came out of the mouth of Michael. He wanted to say 'be there or be square.' He started the phrase wrong, but his brain knew it was a rhyme. So he said 'be here or be queer.'"

Wonder Why This Didn't Work Out...
"Ok so just to set the scene a bit."
"When I was with my ex, we both had very different attitudes to time-keeping and work."
"I am a self-employed, dyslexic with A.D.D who at the time worked in the live music industry so I had to always be very punctual and organized."
"My partner at the time was an english literature student, who was maybe the most disorganized person I had met."
"My ex would lose 3 or 4 phones a year, got fired from jobs every few months because they always turned up late and had to repeat a semester of uni because my ex didn't do enough work and/or wouldn't turn up some times."
"In a nutshell my ex was late for everything all the time."
"Despite all this my ex was always annoyed at me for leaving home early to go to work and always turning up on time because I was too punctual according to them."
"As if this is a bad thing."
"You can now see why we are not together any more."
"So one day, and this is probably due to my dyslexia, A.D.D and the fact that I am aware of it, I leave my ex's apartment early to go to work on Tuesday."
"When I get to work I realize that I've made a mistake and I've mixed up Tuesday with Thursday."
"Feeling a bit silly I phone my partner at the time and tell them I've mixed my days up and can come back to their apartment."
"We laugh it off as a stupid mistake but my ex see's it as me being so punctual that I turn up to work two days early."
"Now that I've explained the back story."
"My ex thinks it's a good time to bring it up again in the pub with myself all their pals."
"This is how it goes."
"My ex: 'omg you'll never guess what'."
"My ex's pals: 'What?'"
"My ex: 'So my partner takes their job so seriously and is so punctual that they turned up to work two days early. They turned up on Tuesday when they were supposed to work on Thursday Hahahahah."
"My ex's pals and myself: Hahahahahaha'."
"Myself: Yeah my partner is so late for everything that they had to repeat a semester of university!!! HAHAHAHAH'."
"My ex's pals: 'HAHAHHHAHAHAHAHA!'"
"My ex: 'I don't find this funny'."
"Myself: 'I do'."
"Still makes my chuckle to this day."

"Here’s how one of our conversations went one morning after I woke up."
"My father: 'Be careful [my name] your hair might get stuck in the fan."

Petty Threats
"This happened between friends, but it was still hilarious."
" Friend 1 'Shut up or I'll egg your house'."

It's sad when people have nothing better to do than belittle others.
Making it hard to feel that they get just what they deserve when someone school's them with a clever comeback.
Hopefully teaching them to use their time a bit more wisely going forward.

"I have no idea how triangles came to represent all that was not nice in his world. I have no idea if he meant some other word. I just know that his meaning and intent were crystal clear and that if he had known the word 'heifer' or 'witch,' that is what he would have said! He’s 19 now, and I’ve asked him about it, but he has no recollection of the TRIANGLE incident."

Heavy Comedy
"I was 9 months pregnant with my first child and felt super heavy and uncomfortable. We went to the movies with friends and I had to go to the restroom before the movie started. When I got back to the theater, I couldn’t find my husband and friends (didn’t know where they were sitting yet)"
"So I waddled down to the front of the theater in my quest to find them and stood in front of the screen for a couple minutes while I was trying to get my bearings. When I finally approached them, my male friend said, 'Wow, for a second there, I thought we were watching. Alfred Hitchcock presents!'”
"Normally a fat joke while pregnant would’ve pissed me off, but it was hilarious!! I still laugh when thinking about it."
