***Best Simpsons Episodes of All Time Draft***

Randomized snake order below. The order is set to remain the same for the entire draft, but perhaps we could shake things up and randomize the order again for the second half of the season?

@CanadaMatt3004 is on the clock with 8 hours to make his pick. Make our season premiere a good one!

Is it a standalone? A cliffhanger to find out if [redacted] makes it out of this jam? A holiday special?

Interesting. I thought we might draft episodes and then place them in order after the draft but I like this as well.

Let’s go with a classic Simpsons season premier and start with Treehouse of Horror.

For my season premiere I select “Treehouse of Horror V”

There are a lot of great Treehouse of horror episodes and episodes within episodes, but for an episode that stays strong through its entirety, nothing hits like V. You have the failed Willy hero gag in each episode, the best parody of the Shining which still holds that title after 25 years, “But dont be reading my mind between 4 and 5, that’s Willy’s time!” Homer time traveling with a toaster, Re-Neducation, Homer giving up his perfect life and missing out on donut rain, “Oh I wish I wish I hadnt killed that fish.” Grandpa’s one piece of advice on Homer’s wedding day, FANTASTIC school satire with the final segment. Fat Krabappel, “I’m going to enjoy devouring you, Bart Simpson. Yes. I believe I’ll start, as you’ve so often suggested, by eating your shorts.”

All in all, I’m comin to save the lot of ya, with the best Treehouse of Horror episode of all time

Ohhhh that’s a good one. The Shinnin’!

I’m confused, are we not just picking best episode available at every point? Is there more to the format that I’m missing?

Oh wait I guess I was never put in, oh well, I’d rather just rail anyhow. If someone needs a co-owner hmu.

Happy to add you mjiggy. I did not see confirmation from you is all.

You can do this however you want and pick random episodes. If you do, do you mind though if I include your random collection in the post game vote? No need to include it if you prefer not.

Honestly this month is kind of rough, though, so I think I’ll pass on participating and just watch.

My bad.

Understood if you prefer to watch. If you change your mind, join in anytime before the first round ends. Apologies again.

Yeah I was under the assumption we’re drafting from any episode and there isn’t a requirement per pick. I guess bonus if you want to theme them but I don’t think that’s strictly necessary. Right?

Fwiw I will make a different pick if we are choosing best overall

I can take out the format. I thought the frame would help give shape to what we’d already discussed.

Take it as a suggestion, no requirement.

Well this is going smoothly already lol

Ok, starting again. Anybody is welcome to use my Treehouse write up if they take it.

With the first overall pick, I select the very best Simpsons episode of all time.

“Last Exit to Springfield.”

How many amazing moments can we possibly get in a single episode? Dental plan, Hired Goons. “The BLURST of times??? You stupid monkey!” The bathroom is the 23rd door on the left. Mr. Burns’ heart growing three sizes, Grandpa’s onion story “It was the style at the time” “Why must you turn my office into a house of LIES!” “All in favor? AYE! All opposed? nay. Who keeps saying that? It was him, let’s get him fellas” “Oh no, I’ll be socially unpopular… more so!” And on and on and on and on.

And my favorite Simpsons song. Fight the power!

Man I was hoping I could be high before my first write up. Working on it now.

I didn’t even remember that episode from childhood so it was like watching it anew when my wife and I started rewatching the best seasons.
