Burns: Hail, brothers. Coranon Silaria, Ozoo Mahoke.
[everyone answers "Mahoke"]
Now, then, gentlemen, the mayoral campaign is upon us. And if
we hope to defeat this Joe Quimby, we need a candidate with
name recognition and media savvy -- a true leader who'll do
exactly as he's told.

Barlow: Monty, I'm way ahead of you. If you'll just open that door
you'll see the next mayor of Springfield.

[door opens to reveal a water cooler; everyone applauds]

[the cooler bubbles]

Senator: What'd it say?

i've always enjoyed the "i have to get something from my car-jumps out the window-runs down the street-and peels away in their car" sight gag.
JoeB - 6/30/09, 11:39 am
the time that it ends with a plane flying overhead is the best one.
Morgan - 6/30/09, 11:51 am
When Homer is trying to remember what he did when he was super drunk the night before ("Not those peanuts...the ones at the bottom of the bowl") and visualizes himself in a top hat and tails, holding court to a rapt audience of party-goers. I guess there's talking too, but I love the image.

homer running around in the dark woods, scared...

comes up to a sign that reads D-I-E

screams

tree blows branch away from sign to expose D-I-E-T

JoeB - 6/30/09, 12:10 pm
haha playing with slot cars by himself
JoeB - 6/30/09, 12:10 pm
the fact that slot cars are a repeated source of humor on the simpsons warms my icy heart
neogonzo - 6/30/09, 12:13 pm
any character naked
particularly homer dragging the 'stone of shame' and the 'stone of triumph'

Morgan - 6/30/09, 12:20 pm
The helper monkey's hand wave when Marge tries to get him to clean up the living room.
Morgan - 6/30/09, 12:24 pm
Homer chasing a squirrel around a tree, seen from the window of a classroom.
JoeB - 6/30/09, 12:28 pm
sherry bobbins is great and features krusty's "KKK sign," another great sight gag
JoeB - 6/30/09, 12:28 pm

the picture of sean connery signed by roger moore is one of my favorite things in the simpsons
DeadMen - 6/30/09, 1:09 pm
I couldn't find a picture of it but they had a Krusty brand legal contract and in the upper right hand corner there was a picture that has Krusty saying,


"HEY HEY! IT'S BINDING!"



lmao

in the "Burns' Heir" episode there's a montage of Mr. Burns doing fun fatherly things with Bart.

the part where Mr. Burns gets exhausted running to kick the football and ends up staggering and kicking smithers in the face is probably the funniest thing ever.
rollinonpdubs - 6/30/09, 3:31 pm
Homer bent over backwards, impaled on a fire hydrant when he gets in a fight with Bart's Bigger Brother at the sea world place
"this is even more painful than it looks"
Jonathan - 6/30/09, 3:47 pm
when homer tries to jump the black hole in the 3-d land and fails miserably.
Jonathan - 6/30/09, 3:49 pm
milhouses face after he drinks the super squishy.

and when hank scorpio "gives homer his coat". hahaha. favorite episode ever.
RyanMcGinty - 6/30/09, 6:51 pm
yes at hank scorpio's coat that he never even gave to homer

Homer, eyes fixated, tongue sticking out, fashioning a circus tent out of mashed potatoes.

Also from the clown college episode, when Homer's pantleg gets caught in the gears of the tiny bike and he pedals his pants off.
There's a magnificent Rube Goldberg setup at the end of that episode when Homer's head plays the theme to the Godfather by clunking into glasses hanging over the bar.

From some other episode, Principal Skinner tries to hide his face behind a copy of Principal Monthly, which feature's Skinner's face on the cover.

when they have to stop watching nightboat to look at family pictures and the first picture is of them watching nightboat
Jeff - 7/2/09, 3:13 pm
it's interesting, though I guess not really surprising, that 2/3rds of these answers are from seasons 4-6.

I honestly can't think of one but L@L THRILLHO

When Homer gets punched by Bart's "Big Brother" and falls on the fire hydrant on the middle of his back.
BobNOMAAMRooney - 7/2/09, 5:30 pm
Homer sitting on the couch while Bart and Lisa are watching Itchy and Scratchy

Bart: (some garble about Itchy using the incorrect knot to tie Scratchy's tongue to a tent stake)
Lisa: It's just a cartoon, cartoons don't have to make sense.

Second Homer walks by living room window.
Jeff - 7/2/09, 5:30 pm
hahaha good choice!
DeadMen - 7/2/09, 5:33 pm
Seasons 4-7 were like the golden age, it was the funniest, best show on tv.
DeadMen - 7/2/09, 5:37 pm
Also, in the X-Files episode where Mulder and Scully first show up at Moes.

Moe gets real nervous and goes to the back room where he has fucking Shamoo in a sling with a bunch of dudes around pouring water on her.


Funniest image.
JCW - 7/2/09, 5:44 pm
in the monorail episode when they go to the file photo of homer on the news and he has like 100 cigarettes in his mouth.

while homer is head-butting the zoo guy.
drumPILE - 7/2/09, 7:13 pm
probably every time sideshow bob steps on a rake is the best sight gag/sound effect ever
Jonathan - 7/2/09, 7:13 pm
and when bart enters the church because he thinks jessica is singing and he goes in and its actually flanders singing. hahaha. so good.
davesheehan - 7/2/09, 10:34 pm
Grandpa Simpson riding bike down the the street while waving arms in the air screaming "hey everybody, look at me i'm acting young!" when a Malibu Stacy doll suddenly lodges in his bicycle spokes sending him flying into a nearby open grave to which he replies "hey, this ain't so bad."

flying hellfish episode when it's like abe can't you go 30 seconds without embarrassing yourself and then his pants fall down and the pelican drops a fish in his pants. GOLD.

I also enjoy the tongue-in-cheek references to how much crappy simpsons merchandise was being made at the time
