Worst episode of the Simpsons

[Guest kingkamala]

Now I think Simpsons compared to other current primetime shows is still one of the better shows on television, not great like it used to be but still a good solid show. But quite a few of them in the last few years have sucked. The worst was the Spring Break one from 00/01, just way too far fetched and frankly not funny. Either that or one of those season 1 episodes with shitty moral "values"

[Guest J*ingus]

People who moan that the show should be killed now forget just how friggin' TERRIBLE those first season episodes were. Preachy tone, obvious jokes, mush-mouthed voice acting, jerky animation, and a general lack of the wit and intelligence that the show would later become famous for. (Although yeah, all these guest celebrity shows need to stop.)

[Guest redbaron51]

but really what can the simpsons do next?

 

the only thing its stopping them is that the characters need to age....(which would be actually interesting)

[Guest Kahran Ramsus]

Easily the worst episode is the one where Bart forms a boy band.

[Guest Slapnuts00]

I liked the first season! It was when they were the most pure, Homer the most angry, etc. Of course they shined after season 2.

Anyway it might not count because it's a clip show, but the musical episode was terrible. I cant even sit through all that bad singing...

The only funny part was the beginning...."I'm gonna paint...your wagon" then everyone starts dancing and singing!

[Guest MaxPower27]

The only highlight to the first season was "Bart the Genius". I still get a kick out of that episode.

 

But, as a whole, the first season sucked hard.

 

Worst Eps:

 

-Simpsons Roasting on An Open Fire. First eps. Homer gets Santa's Little Helper, because he can't afford any presents.

 

I hate that eps. Animation sucks, the story was bad, etc.

[Guest Bricks]

The episode where Lisa is sad from the first season is the worst episode ever.

[Guest RavishingRickRudo]

Anything after Frank Grimes - anything before season 2.

[Guest Karnage]

That episode where Marge was joining that play.

[Guest Kahran Ramsus]

The episode where Lisa is sad from the first season is the worst episode ever.

I love the Video Boxing stuff from that episode.

[Guest bob_barron]

That episode where Marge was joining that play.

Noooooooooooooo! That episode is hilarious if you've read Streetcar.

 

 

I agree with Kahran on the Lisa gets sad episode.

[Guest Bricks]

The episode where Lisa is sad from the first season is the worst episode ever.

I love the Video Boxing stuff from that episode.

Yeah, that stuff was fine, but the Lisa stuff killed it for me.

[Guest Zero_Cool]

Another bad episode was that stupid "Homer wants his family to be civilized" from the early days...

 

Frank Grimes rocked the casbah, IMHO.

[Guest RavishingRickRudo]

What the Grimes eps did to the homer simpson character is right up there with what Hitler did with the Jews...

 

Ok, maybe not THAT far - but close... Oh so close.

 

The Streetcar eps is one of the best fucking simpsons eps EVER! How DARE you speak ill of it!

[Guest treble charged]

The episode where Lisa is sad from the first season is the worst episode ever.

For the life of me, I can't remember this episode. I'm sure I've seen it, but that storyline isn't ringing any bells in my head.

[Guest bob_barron]

Another bad episode was that stupid "Homer wants his family to be civilized" from the early days...

 

Frank Grimes rocked the casbah, IMHO.

Is that the one where they end up at Dr. Marvin Monroe's office?

 

If so that one is hilarious

[Guest Fook_Hing_Ho]

I gotta agree with the musical episode.

 

Also, throw in the remembering lovers episode, the Sherry Bobbins episode, the episode with the Thelma and Louise parody, and pretty much anything from the first season and the last season.

[Guest Phr33k]

It's the one with Bleeding Gums Murphy.

[Guest Youth N Asia]

The last Sideshow Bob episode, the one where he rigged Bart to kill Krusty. I remember watching it just never coming close to laughing

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

I hated the grifting episode from last season (might have been two seasons ago). It totally spells out everything wrong with the Simpons now. Complete nonsensical beginning to get to the main plot. Obvious jokes. Special guest star shoed in for no reason. And an ending that comes out of nowhere that makes no sense and right when they say "oh there's a perfectly logical explanation for all of this" the damn ice cream truck or something comes by and nothing is explained and that's supposed to be the damn joke. Making fun of their ineffencies to tell actual stories anymore is supposed to make it alright?

[Guest ShooterJay]

I completely agree about the grifting episdoe. It's the only episode of the Simpsons that has really irritated me. Hated it hated it hated, for all the reasons Deacon said.

 

It's just a matter of personal taste, but the muscial episodes annoy me too.

 

Edit: An episode that I liked that had a terrible ending was the "Mr. X" episode. Was drugging them AGAIN when you know you're not going to ever bring up "The Island" again really necessary?

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

Although Mr. X probably had the most obscure reference ever as the whole second half was a take off of "The Prisoner." An old british series that had a limited run here in the states. I had friends of mine who were diehard Simpsons fans calling me after it aired asking me what the hell it was, because they knew I would know. They've had more obscure references I know, but to build almost an entire episode on something like that is really out there.

[Guest benoitrulz4life]

The boy band one. That one sucked... HARD.

[Guest Smues]

[Guest saturnmark4life]

the earlier ones with lisa and bleeding gums were pretty lame, but the family councilling scene is classic.

 

has no one mentioned the clip shows?

[Guest Kagato Otaku]

The episode where Bart and the tubby white guy who thinks he's Michael Jackson sing a birthday duet to Lisa. Something about Lisa getting "her first kiss from a boy."

 

 

*shivers*

[Guest Ravenbomb]

the one on the Tracy Ulman show where Bart was hiding in the closet and missed out on the frosty chocolate milkshakes was pretty bad.

 

But I just can't sit through the first Christmas one. It's just too sappy.

[Guest Jack Tunney]

The worst episode is the one where the Simposns visit Africa.It's completely pitiful.It made no sense and I didnt even crack a smile once.

[Guest The Flying Dutchman]

The boy band one. That one sucked... HARD.

I enjoyed the boy band episode for one bit of dialogue...

 

(paraphrased)

 

"I admit it. We're getting recruits for the navy using subliminal and superliminal messages."

 

"I've heard of subliminal, but what's superliminal?"

 

"This..."

 

*walks over to window and shouts at bypasser*

 

"HEY YOU! JOIN THE NAVY!"

 

"Okay...got nothing better to do."

[Guest redbaron51]

The episode when Lisa gets married in the future.....not funny at all....
