For me it's easily The Man Who Grew Too Much, doesn't feel like a Sideshow Bob episode and doesn't make a whole lot off sense, what redeems it is the tribute to Marcia Wallace though, also Marge's B-Plot is boring
6.2/10

E I E I DOH
I get milk duds every time at the movies. I'll have to ask for butter next time.
Lots of blink you'll miss it gags from the Marquee movie titles to the credits of the Zoro flick.
How have I gone my whole life and never heard the glove slap parody of Love Shack 😂
So this old southern Colonel reminds me a lot of the old Foghorn Leghorn cartoon.
Love that the Christmas tree is just in the car.
Holy shit Carter was building housing back then too? Good for him.
Didn't they burn down Homer's childhood home in the love potion episode?
I'll weed the floor! 😆
Oh, sneeds feed and seed! I've heard about this famous hidden joke.
Bart is adorable in overalls.
Wtf random elephant. 🐘
No fhankth I'm thtill finithing my fthithlth 😂😂😂
The glow effect on the field is the best graphics this show has ever had.
I can't wait to see what happens. The suspense.
Tomacco 😂
We got breaking bad twelve years early. Wait what happened to the southern dude.
Did you see the way Amelia was looking at that guy? Hoo hoo I think there was something going on there.
Holy shit the attacking animals was hilariously alarming.
Kinda funny how Laramie ciggs is such a consistent brand.
Honestly that was a great episode. 4 evil tomatoes.
🍅🍅🍅🍅
There is something silly about Evil Homer. Kept it clean linework , full color.
THOH X
Yeesssssssssssss
I KNOW WHAT YOU DIDDIDIDIDIDLY DID
Smacks or whatever that rice golden puff cereal was called was so lame.
How many THOHS involve Ned dying. 🤔
The way Homer talks to Ned's body was hilarious.
This whole minisode is great.
Wtf 😳 that ending with Homer screaming off the camera and getting mauled would have freaked me tf out as a kid. Somehow it's more disturbing bc they don't show the action. I liked this mini horror story pretty well though.
XEEKING XENA
We STILL calling people point Dexter??
I have always always hated stretchy power. From LUFFY Monkey to Ms Incredible to Mr Fantastic.
Whenever you notice something like that a wizard did it. 🤣
I remember half of one episode of Xena....
Near mint condition and a mylar bag lol.
Best. Death. Ever.
That whole mini was just meh.
LIFE'S A GLITCH
Happy 2000? Are we finally at y2k?
OH, Huh yeah we are. Wow.
My family spent Y2k new years praying in church in fear of the end of the world.
Operation Exodus. Oh geeze. This is still kinda believable with all the billionaire doomsday bunkers.
Only allowed to take one parent with you.MOM
I barely remember who any of these people are on rocket 2.
Not fast enough! 🤯
It was a fun enough Treehouse. Part 2 was a bit weak but Ned werewolf was great and the y2k one while a bit meandering and too "what if" has the benefit of some fun historical nostalgia.
4 tickets to Mars

The ones I can remember:
What other ones are there?
I've been watching RealJim's video on the Golden Age's "Hidden Duds", and this was #2 on the list, even going as far as to call it his least favorite episode on the list, and the one Season 7 episode he regularly skips.
He claims that the episode's premise of Sideshow Bob threatening to nuke Springfield over "trash TV" and then stealing a Wright Bros plane in an effort to kill Krusty when that fails serves as a progenitor for some of the teen year's dumber premises (e.g. the Jockey Elves and the surfing from "Great Money Caper"). He also claims that the set piece of the air show is also dull. Although he does like the army jokes and R. Lee Ermey's Col. Hapablap, he calls it a "flimsy story where they repeatedly have to contrive ways to keep things moving along."
At the end of the video, he states that none of the episodes on the list are bad, but then says, "except for that Sideshow Bob terrorist plot", implying that he has reservations regarding "Last Gleaming". So, is he right to call it a Golden Age stinker (that isn't from the first 2 seasons), or is he blowing it out of proportion?
GUESS WHO'S COMING TO CRITICIZE DINNER?
Is it patty and selma?
I remember a school teacher telling the class a joke about Patty in the shower and Homer jumps in thinking it's Marge and she shouts don't look at me and he shouts but you're everywhere!
Dingus 💢
Johnny newspaperseed. The whole concept of Johnny appleseed feels like weird nationalist propaganda.
I could even eat a baby deer lala la 🎶 🎶 😆
A famous novel exists without the letter E used once.
What's the English equivalent of "Huaghlafhahgaaaa"
Wait what happened to Uter?
At some point Homer is going to stop choking Bart.
Well, we DID get patty and selma. 👙🤢
Homer job as a food critic. Should have guessed.
These scenes are great honestly. All the food critic bits.
"people will think what I tell them to think when you tell me what to tell them to think!" amazing line. (also the motto for fox news)
Omigosh when are we getting rid of typewriters.
Wait why did the dog talk? "chewy?"
It's worth noting just how often restaurant owners show up in this show. I mean, pirate guy, Mario and the blowfish Japanese guy...
Wait is this a spoof on the Ides of March?
Kinda odd that they want to like murder Homer?? I mean... Like, pirate guy is a pretty regular random character. Who I kinda hate.
Thank God it landed in that smoking crater!
The ending was... Dumb. Homer gets mobbed and gets his come uppance? They kept repeating that line like it was supposed to be funny. It wasn't. But the overall plot was funny enough.
Was close to a 4 but the ending was so rushed and poorly executed it lost half a point. 3.5 poisoned ecclairs.

Hey r/Simpsons! As you all remember, we once hosted “The Greatest Simpsons Episode Ever”, aka “TGSEE”, (the greatest episode was voted to be Marge vs The Monorail). After the success of that tournament, this summer we are hosting “The Greatest Simpsons Character Of All Time” (abbreviated: TGSC). This time, the tournament will be run similar to the FIFA World Cup. Here’s how it’ll work:
-The top 32 comments (on this post) (of different characters) will be placed in 8 groups of 4
-For the first week (Sunday-Saturday) of the tournament, there will be polls for all 8 groups, where the 2 characters that received the most votes will move on (this is the “group stage”)
-Each character will then be placed on a side of the bracket, and move on to face another character in the round of 16
-The characters that win the votes of RO16 will then face of in the Quarterfinals
-The winners of QF advance to the semifinals (“final four”)
-The losers of the semis will have a 3rd place vote
-The winners advance to the finals
-Once the finals end, the official winner and full bracket will win
The official voting to determine who makes the group stage will be on this post.
NEW: Once the group stage is completed, a bracket template will be posted where you can fill out the bracket (like a March Madness bracket). There is a reward, bragging rights (There are no prizes).
Comment your favorite Simpsons character to see if they can make the tournament!
I woke up this morning, and started loudly singing the American National Anthem, mostly to embarrass my son and daughter-in-law. About halfway through, I realized I didn’t know all the lyrics, and that I shouldn’t have turned down those cue cards…
I think it’s Comic Book Guy but can’t quite remember.
This happens just before Abe starts shouting in church.
