![]() ![]() ![]() One of the best developments in recent years are memes, giving Internet users the ability to laugh and make jokes about everything, using shows and real life situations as their ammo. There’s no source of memes better than The Simpsons, with their wide variety of characters that are annoying, funny, sad, and relatable. Even though Lisa is probably the most meme-able character of all time, we made sure to include most of the Simpsons family members and friends on this list, and we ended up with memes that are all hilarious and easy to use on a day to day basis. These images are a guaranteed way of cheering yourself up or bringing a smile out of anyone, and prompting a rewatch of your favorite episodes. Check out 20 hilarious and savage Simpsons memes that you won’t want to stop sharing.After the success of S4 the Simpsons launched into a new era with season five. The writing team had been getting a little sloppy and the final episode they wrote, Cape Feare, was too short to air.Īl Jean and Mike Reiss left here to make the Critic, which itself is a good show but not on the level of the Simpsons.ĭavid Mirkin took over as showrunner with the show losing a lot of its better writers and would soon lose Conan O’Brien as well. The result would be a comedy padding sequence that remains one of the Simpsons all-time greatest gags. Despite the writer churn Season Five has some incredible highs. Let’s take a walk back through them as we look at the Simpsons S5.Īpparently, there was an argument as to whether this or Homer Goes to College should open the season. Honestly, they’re both strong episodes but the guest appearance of George Harrison here is what swayed the team to choose this. We kick things off at the Springfield Swap Meet. “A Methuselah rookie card!” The Simpsons kids find a Be Sharps album and Homer tells the tale of when he was moderately famous in 1985. The Be Sharps, which is witty at first but sounds less funny every time you hear it, are initially Homer, Apu, Skinner and Wiggum until Homer sets Wiggum free in the forest at night. The replacement is Barney in the first example of how useful he can be when he’s not drunk. The whole episode is based on the Beatles. Being initially successful as a pop group with screaming girls, the agent wanting to make them marketable, hiding the star’s marriage and eventually the most creative voice going off on a weird tangent that destroys the group. “Baby on Board, something, something, Burt Ward”. The episode is littered with throwback gags to the 80s without making it obnoxious and over the top. ![]() Lisa quizzes Homer on all the holes in his story, which makes it seem like the whole thing is made up until the reunion show on the roof. This is a great episode, close to an all-timer. The arcs for Wiggum and Barney are particularly good. ****¾Ĭape Feare, a parody of the film of the same name (minus the E), is one of the Simpson’s finest episodes. It was an old writing team going out with a bang but leaving enough space for a reoccurring gag (the rakes), which would go down as one of the Simpson’s best gags of all time. The combination of the classic Cape Fear sound cues and Kelsey Grammer’s perfectly evil Sideshow Bob is what makes the episode so great. This is the absolute peak of Bob as a bad guy. Sideshow Bob has been stewing in prison and is determined to get out so he can kill Bart Simpson. There’s a spell at the start of the episode where Bart suspects everyone of wanting to murder him before Bob arrives. When Bob arrives everything is so perfect. The “use a pen Sideshow Bob” bit, the parole board (“no one who speaks German can be an evil man”), the Bobby DeNiro imitations, the working out, “the following neighbourhood residents will not be killed”. ![]()
