I’ll jump on the “Homer vs. the 18th Amendment” wagon. When the stills explode, and Homer is rolling on the lawn to put himself out - hilarious! ---

I’m a fan of **Burn’s Heir** , particularily the audition: Milhouse: I have nothing to offer you but my love. Burns: I specifically said, no geeks! Milhouse: But my mom says I’m cool… Burns: Next! Nelson: Gimme your fortune or I’ll pound your withered old face in! Burns: Oh, I like his energy. Put him on the callback list. Martin: [walks out as music begins] Clang, clang, clang went the trolley! Ring, ring, ring went the bell! Zing, zing, zing went my heartstrings – oof! [Nelson belts him] Burns: Thank you! Give the bully an extra point. Lisa: [clears throat] I propose to you that your heir not need be a boy. In this phallocentric society of ours – Burns: Er, I don’t know what phallocentric means, but no girls! Milhouse: [offstage, in drag] So much for Plan B. Homer: OK, boy, I wrote down exactly what to say. Just read it and you’re a shoo-in! Bart: [walks onstage, squints at cue cards] Hello, Mr. …Kurns. I bad want…money now. Me sick. Homer: Ooh, he card-reads good. Bart: So pick please me, Mr. Burns. Homer: {[calling from offstage] It’s “Kurns”, stupid!} Marge: {No it’s not!} Homer: {Disregard.} ---

[QUOTE=whole bean] I’m a fan of **Burn’s Heir** [/QUOTE] My favorite line comes when they are driving home and see Burns’ son holding a sign that says “Springfield” o nthe side of the road. Homer looks at him and says “Can’t they get a pole for that sign?” ---

Another vote for **You Only Move Twice**. > [@](#): > > Hank: Uh, hi, Homer. What can I do for you? > Homer: Sir, I need to know where I can get some business hammocks. > Hank: Hammocks? My goodness, what an idea. Why didn’t I think of that? Hammocks! Homer, there’s four places. There’s the Hammock Hut, that’s on third. > Homer: Uh-huh. > Hank: There’s Hammocks-R-Us, that’s on third too. You got Put-Your-Butt-There? > Homer: Mm-Hmm. > Hank: That’s on third. Swing Low, Sweet Chariot… Matter of fact, they’re all in the same complex; it’s the hammock complex on third. > Homer: Oh, the hammock district. > Hank: That’s right. I must have seen this episode about 10 times before it occurred to me that the above conversation was a riff on planned communities. Honorable mention goes ot **Kamp Krusty** , mostly because it has my all-time favorite Simpsons joke: > [@](#): > > Lisa: I feel like I’m going to die, Bart. > Bart: _[cheerily]_ We’re all gonna die, Lis. > Lisa: I meant _ **soon** _. > Bart: _[somber]_ So did I. ---

Another vote for You Only Move Twice, but the only reason I’m posting is to say that while I was working I just started humming a song to myself. One of those times when you’ve got a song in your head and you don’t even know where it came from. I was trying and trying to force some lyrics into the hum to try and remember what it was and then suddenly I remembered… Liiiiike Myyyy Loafers? Former gophers- It was that or skin my chauffuers… (I had to share that and this is the only current Simpsons thread 🙂 ) ---

I always said that was the best Simpsons parody, and the second best Beauty & the Beast parody. It was only topped by Gerard Alessandrini’s Forbidden Broadway: Be depressed. Be depressed. Cause Walt Disney is the best. Now the biggest Broadway musical’s A cartoon from the West. Children cry “It’s a feast, seeing Beautiy & the Beast.” Now what turns the great white way on Is a drama drawn in cray-on. Guys who sing, dolls who dance. Mob auditions for the chance To play dinnerware that seems to be possessed… ---

You’re confusing “You Only Move Twice” with “Two Dozen and One Greyhounds.” “You Only Move Twice” had a song, but it was a _Goldfinger_ parody: _Scorpio! He’ll sting you with his dreams of power and wealth! Beware of Scorpio! His twisted twin obsessions are his plot to rule the world and his employees’ health!_ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-one-favorite-simpsons-episode/395718.md?page=6)
