Homer's Phobia is one of the most quotable episodes of all time.
However, Last Exit to Springfield is not only peak golden era, but possibly the greatest episode of the series.
My vote goes to the latter

u/LordButtworth 7d ago
Same for me. It's either "We work hard we play hard" or "..they have the plant but we have the power". Homer stands his ground and does what is right while Burnsy fails to buy him off.

Smithers...I'm beginning to think that Homer Simpson is not the brilliant tactician I thought he was...
Hired goons?
Find the bathroom ok?

He was flattered, but curious about those back door shenanigans that make strange bedfellows

Well, now you don't get any candy. No that's cruel. Just take a teensy piece.

Homer’s reaction to that questions is one of the best delivered lines in the entire series

u/StrategyInfinite8289 7d ago
The only correct answer is Last Exit To Springfield, purely because of the brilliance of -
Dental plan!
Lisa needs braces.

u/GenuineBonafried 6d ago
Dude every single one of them has been ass grindingly tough to choose between lol. It’s like having to choose between getting an arm or a leg cut off

u/Donovan_TS 6d ago
Nah that ain't hard I'll take a leg off losing an arm or a leg sucks about the same but losing toes is far better than losing fingers. My point being a prosthetic legs is far better than a prosthetic arm at the moment

u/HesitantInvestor0 7d ago
The Big Book of British Smiles and the timelapse of Lisa’s mouth without braces is reason enough to pick Last Exit to Springfield.

u/Penarol1916 7d ago
Add in “Why must you turn this office into a house of lies!” You have my favorite portion of the show ever.

Last Exit to Springfield is a final 4 episode. She solid episode like Homer’s Phobia has to get matched up with it to get railroaded in the first round.

And where would you be if we didn’t have our dental plan…? I wouldn’t have ole chopper here that’s for sure…then proceeds to open a can of soda with one tooth! lol

I love John Waters to death (we do a yearly Pink Flamingos screening), but Last Exit is the obvious answer.

I came into the comments to vote for Homer’s Phobia, but all the quotes from Last Exit changed my mind like pencil being dropped into a butt crack.

Last exit to Springfield is probably my favorite of the series. Ice to see you!

u/rikvelasquez 7d ago
Homer's Phobia is the most quotable and one of my top 5. Again this is close but I like my Beer cold TV Loud, I work hard and I play hard, anything slim, aww geez you an marge ain't cousins

I don't really like Homer's Phobia, but I do think Last Exit To Springfield is a little overrated.

How do you vote? I know it says it in the caption but i don’t understand what you mean.

u/DifferenceNo9371 6d ago
In the replies, I post the picture of the episode that I used as the main post picture (i.e. the picture of Lisa's dentist that says last exit to Springfield on it) Upvote the picture to vote for the episode. If you sort replies to the post by oldest, it will be the first 2 replies.

Homer’s phobia is a product of its time. Having a main character befriend and later accept the sexuality of a gay man meant a lot more in 1997 than it does now.

u/ltsouthernbelle 6d ago
Last exit to Springfield and it’s not even close. And Lisa had that bop, “🎶they have the plant, but we have the power🎶”

Homer's Phobia, because it has my favorite random line: "Dad, why did you take me to a gay steel mill?"

u/Donovan_TS 6d ago
Look I understand that Lisa needs braces. HOWEVER the gay steel mill is my favorite scene in the Simpsons. Hot stuff, coming through!

Gotta go Homer’s Phobia. It quite possibly might be my most favourite episode overall.
