My top episode...ever. I love it, I adore it, I worship it. It's the epitome of humour on the Simpsons. Actually, I'll just repost my short review I gave it...
"John Swartzwelder gets it, and that’s no surprise considering how many episode this guy has written, whether he be a real person or not. This episode is the best example of a Simpsons episode being nothing more than a Simpsons episode, and not trying to be great, but in the end being great. It contains cut away gags, useless plot features, a tonne of celebrities (including the late Johnny Carson) and a heap of references to pop culture and real life events. This episode also contains what I believed (the first hundred times I saw it), the funniest moments that have ever been seen on TV. Instance number one is when Krusty does his own ventriloquist act and ends up scarring the children for life, and the second is “Eastern Europes favourite Cat and Mouse team; Worker and Parasite!”, Endut Hoch Hech! Damn that is some funny stuff. So indeed, when I think of The Simpsons, I usually end up thinking of this episode as the example of the best one ever, and if I ever see someone that hasn’t seen the Simpsons, this is the one I’ll be recommending to them. I can safely say, with no doubt in my mind, that this is the best…episode…ever!"
Ah yes, 10/10, 100/100, A++, Ach too Liben, ach mein Gott!
