The episode Stephen King appeared on, for the fact that John Updike ghost-wrote Krusty’s biography (and also made an appearance) and also for this moment with King:

> [@](#):
>
> **Stephen King: Oh I don’t feel like writing horror right now.  
> Marge: Oh, that’s too bad.  
> Stephen King: I’m working on a biography of Benjamin Franklin. He’s a fascinating man. He discovered electricity, and used it to torture small animals and mountain men. And that KEY he tied to the end of a KITE… IT OPENED THE GATES OF HELL!!!  
> Marge: Well… let me know when you get back to horror.  
> Stephen King: Will do!**

When Homer joins the Navy Reserves and takes the sub to Russia…  
“He’s heading for the Soviet Union!” “No, it’s Russia now.” “That’s what you think!” The Russian UN guy presses a button and the card that says Russia switches to a card that says USSR. Floats in a Russian parade have tanks coming out of them. Lenin smashes out of his glass case and wanders around like a mummy: “Must… crush… capitalism” Good stuff.

That episode also had the “In the Navy” song, which is another favorite moment
