Current Events > CE's BEST SIMPSONS EPISODE EVER! Vote 6 in Round 1!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Welcome everyone to the BEST SIMPSON'S EPISODE EVER TOURNAMENT! PRESENTED BY CURRENT EVENTS!

As the first topic in this idea I've had for awhile, here is the basic groundwork.

INTRODUCTION

I looked at the Top 24 episodes of Simpsons ever, as based on user star ratings on IMDB. The list is from 2015, but I doubt anything in 2015 and beyond would belong on this list. This list has a nice little two sentence explanation of the episode if you do not have episode names memorized. In each topic I will also explain each episode that we are voting on.

Using Challong, I've created a tournament involving the Top 24 episodes of all time!

The 1-8 seeds have a bye in the first round, since that seems appropriate. Every day (or maybe twice a day depending on how 1-sided a vote gets) we will put up a new poll and see which episode out of the two is considered better. Winner moves on, loser is dropped. There will be a third place vote as well.

Let's get to it!

THE COMBATANTS!

HOMER THE HERETIC - After skipping church one week, Homer decides that he is never going back. However, when a calamity occurs, it takes the combined efforts of a number of people from different faiths to save him.

HOMER VS. THE 18TH AMENDMENT - After Bart inadvertently becomes drunk at a St. Patrick's Day celebration, an old prohibition law banning drinking in Springfield is rediscovered and enforced. Desperate to keep alcohol in the city, Homer takes matters into his own hands.

This one is tough. For the first time this tournament, I might rewatch both episodes before I vote.

You can't seriously want to ban alcohol.

It tastes great, makes women appear more attractive, and makes a person virtually invulnerable to criticism.

18th amendment by a smidge.

Rex Banner: Listen, rummy. I'm gonna say it plain and simple: where'd you pinch the hooch? Is some blind tiger jerking suds on the side?!

Barney (confused): ...yes?

Bart: Aw rats, another gutter ball. Gee, Homer, you sure do suck tonight!

Homer: Yeah, suck like a fox!

*they laugh and high five*

Tough choice, mainly in that Homer vs the 18th Amendment is one of the few episodes of the first eight seasons that, for whatever reason, I don't remember much about.
