Roger Meyers Sr., the gentle genius behind Itchy and Scratchy, loved and cared about almost all the peoples of the world. And he, in return, was beloved by the world, except in 1938 when he was criticized for his controversial cartoon “Nazi Supermen Are Our Superiors.”

Probably my single favorite line of the show. I was hoping this or Itchy & Scratchy land would fall to me, now I gotta rack my brain for 3rd round value.
Ok just thought of three potential picks so should be good

Ugh, sniped
Gonna regroup and pick
I’m taking Bart Sells His Soul
There are a handful I could take here, but I’d be most disappointed in missing this before next round, I think; it’s a personal favorite as selling his soul is such a Bart thing to do.
It starts off with one of the best first 2 minutes of any episode.
Bart hands out the Hymn ‘In the Garden of Eden’ by I. Ron Butterfly:
- “Hey Marge, remember when we used to make out to this hymn?”
- Everyone singing it together with gusto
- “Wait a minute, this sounds like Rock and/or Roll”
- The organist doing the 17 minute solo and at end of song passing out
- Everyone, even Bart, knowing the parts to the Hell speech by Rev Lovejoy
- The Raven cawing at Millhouse when he says “where my tongue will be torn out by ravenous birds” and then Millhouse snitches
Then Bart gets mad at Millhouse for snitching and then they argue over if souls exist
- “Oh come on, Millhouse, there is no such thing as a soul. It’s just something they made up to scare kids, like the boogeyman or Michael Jackson”
- “When you sneeze, that’s your soul trying to escape”
He sells his soul to Millhouse for $5, which he uses to buy dino sponges which barely expands and then runs down the drain.
Then automatic doors stop working for him (best automatic door failure since Better Off Ted), the pets hate him, he has no breath, he doesn’t find Itchy and Scratchy or his dad falling on a skateboard funny, and Marge can tell he’s lost his soul by his hug.
- “I am familiar with the works of Pablo Neruda”
- Santa’s Little Helper inspires the entire genre of “Help, I’m stuck!” porn
- An actually good dream sequence in a show
Then Moe decides to change his bar to a Family Restaurant, which is a great sub-plot that would take another half post to write-up. You should just watch it instead! Seriously, even though I decided it’s too much to write up, I keep getting tempted by all the great lines. Watch it.
Bart tries to sell Lisa his conscience for $4.50. “I’ll throw in my sense of decency, too. It’s a Bart sales event; everything about me must go!”
Millhouse runs a tank over Bart’s soul and offers Bart his soul back for $50. Then he sells it to Comic Book Guy for Alf POGS, who sells it to Lisa, in another display of caring (after being mean teasing him at the restaurant).

Uh oh guys, I have plans tonight, if it comes to me soon we may need to halt it for the night. Sorry.
Good pick
it probably will pretty soon since i think mjiggy was working on a pick and i’m ready to go.
fantastic episode. “Uncle Moe’s Family Feedbag” is one of my favorite B-plots ever.

I can probably squeeze one ep in tonight but probably not both
if you decide on your second you can leave em with me. i know what i’m taking right here unless mjiggy snipes it but i haven’t 100% decided on #2 (not that it would matter if you took it ahead of me anyway)

Question: Are you allowed to use a proxy if you will not be present to make your pick?
Answer: Of course!
“Mr Plow, that’s my name. That name again is Mr. Plow.”
Seems like people want to move things along so I’ll make my pick and then write it up later tonight (although everyone does a good job coming up with the best quotes as it is).
@R.C is up

Damn, that was one of my top choices for round 4. Top-12 episode for me. I’ve got my pick though; let me write it up.
