Are you suggesting that this thread needs more...KILLAH TOFUUUUUU!?
I was watching "Marge on the Lam" last night and it occurred to me that even in Homer's fantasy/delusion, how extremely ill-attended his idea of the ballet is.
Just one of those random things that stuck out to me and made me laugh for no reason despite seeing the episode a million times.
And he's so happy while everyone else is just sitting there.

The Simpsons The Big Fat Commercial Collection
Almost every Simpsons commercial ever made... archived together in one handy little video file. Many of these date back to the Classic era... or earlier. Some of the Butterfinger ads in particular pre-date the show as that campaign kicked off while the Ullman shorts were still airing.

I was going to post a thread on this. Watched it last evening. Some commercials are very clever.

Is this the new NX thread?
I will never forget the day that nintendo fanboys collectively lost their mind and posted non stop simpsons screencaps with dialogue replaced to reflect the NX situation
the madness starts here and continues until the thread is locked

The Mansion Family, Season 11, Episode 12 (BABF08)From which episode is this pic?
EDIT Thought is was A star is Burns, but I couldn't find it skipping thorugh that episode
TREEHOUSE OF HORROR I (aka The Simpsons Halloween Special)
Intro/Bookends:
I love this opening bit. The character most likely to file a complaint is pleading to people to not complain. It also shows that even with only a year under their belt, they know that kids are watching their show. The only time you get this aware nowadays is with CBG standing in as their fandom punching bag, and even then it's mostly a straw-man.
Did that bizarre "Garfield is Dead" set of strips come out before this? The other graves I can understand, but this sort of puzzles me.
BAD DREAM HOUSE
Homer's got great motivations this time around. In later seasons he'd just put everybody in danger just because, but here? He got the best deal of his life and he just doesn't want to see his hard earned investment go down the kitchen portal.
Dan's delivery really makes this line:
The ending twist is great. Nice subversion of the haunted house sub-genre.
HUNGRY ARE THE DAMNED
Growing up on Foxtrot, I saw this gag very often during the summer months, but it feels better paced here. You can also tell that with this and the tractor beam scene that the cartoon shenanigans that they tried to avoid early on here are blissfully embraced. It feels like it was a breath of fresh air to do this for the writers.
Always hated this trope in SF shows. Glad they mocked it. The HBO line made me laugh as well.
Never really understood the twist, though. Kang, Kodos and Shiroc act really ominous about the whole thing, weigh them, and laugh maniacally about this whole thing. You guys aren't painting yourselves in the most flattering of lights. (Still funny though, don't get me wrong.)
THE RAVEN
Is there anymore to say about this segment that hasn't already been said? It's a masterful poem with one of Dan's best set of deliveries, coupled with great animation, mood, timing and design. There's a reason why teachers play this in English class. (Or at least my teacher did)

Am I remembering wrong, or did they end up inadvertently making that Kang and Kodos appearance canon in an early clip show?
They were in the episode The Springfield Files, and in episodes like Behind the Laughter and Gump Roast.
Now that you mention it, I checked and the infamous "Garfield is Dead" strip series came out the previous year, on October 1989. I always thought it was just a random namedrop, but if they were truly referencing that series of strips, then wow, that was quite the clever (and incredibly specific) reference.

Wasn't it in the first clip show? One of the kids talking to Homer while he was in his coma, talking about how he stays calm in the face of danger (and then the UFO clip plays). I found that weird at the time as well.

It's a play on the twist from the original Twilight Zone series episode that the segment is based on. In the Twilight Zone episode To Serve Man,
a group of apparently benevolent aliens land on Earth and promise to end all war, hunger, and disease and turn Earth into a paradise. One of the aliens leaves behind a book and government specialists are eventually able to translate the book's title to "To Serve Man". Everyone thinks it means to serve in a good way. At the every end of the episode, it's discovered that "To Serve Man" is a cookbook. The episode ends with the main character on a spaceship to the alien's homeworld to be butchered and eaten. Here, they're making the aliens seem malevolent, and making it look like they want to eat the Simpsons, so the real twist is that they aren't evil as they seem to be.
TREEHOUSE OF HORROR II (A.K.A The Simpsons Halloween special 2)
INTRO/BOOKENDS:
It's only the 2nd special and already Marge knows that these cries fall on deaf ears. They truly know their audience by now.
I guess nobody cooked Cajun style back then? These tombstone panning shots are real time capsules. Loved the Peanuts costumes that dart in front of the house as well.
Man, we should've seen Maggie's nightmare too. This whole episode is full of classics, so it would've been like icing on the cake. (And no joke about the razor blades in apples scare?)
"THE MONKEY'S PAW" (No title given)
This segment is one of my favorites out of all the THOH's. The snappy dialogue, the meta jokes, and it still has a bit of an eerie tone to it, too. I could post basically the entire skit in gif form. (But due to Fox lawyers, I shall not. Shut up, they're on GAF too.)
~Man smart, but woman is smart-er~
~Man smart, but woman is smart-er~
I still quote this from time to time, TBH. (And the board with a nail in it line)
"BART, THE KING" (Again, no formal title given.)
This isn't as great as it's predecessor, but I do have a lot of memories of it, due to it being on a VHS I had. ( On a unrelated note, do remember to vote in the Bonerland election next month. Hey, if you don't like it, move to Russia.)
I do like the visuals of Bart's mutations and the slapstick gags accompanying them. And there are some funny lines. Including this variant on the prank call gag:
Love this shot, though (Comedy Network used it a lot during their THOH marathons):
"FRANKEN-HOMER" (If anyone knows the accepted fannon names for these segments, please let me know.)
It's a bit jarring going back and seeing just how evil Burns actually was. Most jokes now are just "lol, hes old", but he actually feels threatening this time around. I guess that fellow at Radio Shack was right to think he was mad.
This line's really funny to me. Maybe it's due to the decreasing severity of the injuries?
I love how the end bit treats the whole head grafting thing thing as a new status quo for the show proper. The staff knows that the two types of episodes need to be kept separate, where as later on, they have a full-length Inception parody smack dab in the middle of the season without batting an eye. (And I know it's supposed to sound cliche as fuck, but I honestly do want to see that mock episode)

The individual THOH 2 acts are traditionally referred to by one of two titles...
"Lisa's Nightmare / The Monkey's Paw"
"Bart's Nightmare / The Bart Zone"
"Homer's Nightmare / If I Only Had a Brain"
Great work on these recaps, by the way. I look forward to seeing the rest.
I am a Nintendo die hard and even I don't get it. It'll come when it comes.
I decided to post here so I won't cause any more trouble during the NX threads.
Here's the context for the following:
Me responding to someone else that brought up that account.
Edit: I should add this one too since it was recent.

Has Simpsons ever referenced Nintendo directly (or as much "directly" as they can)? The only thing I can think of was Mario from the episode where Bart stole something from Try N Save
There has been Pokémon references. And the Wii U called Zii Zu or something. I forget what else.
And there was a Wii episode that involved the old folks at the retirement home.
Edit: Oh how could I forget Donkey Kong.

Been watching Season 3 straight through recently and I didn't realize that Homer on hold for the department of missing babies in Homer Alone was lifted straight from Homer on hold for the National Fatherhood Institute in Saturdays of Thunder. Same animation even.
Full gag references to another episode are rare in this show seeing how self contained most episodes are. Funny but felt out of character for the show. Seemed sorta Seinfeld-esque.
It seems there was some NX related Simpsons captions on this page linked here but that was all.

Also, context for the next one is how old NX threads are popping up when the new ones get closed.

Is there a Simpsons gif for someone enjoying someone else's pain? Because I've been enjoying NintendoGAF's NX-related suffering for a while now.

It's really tough to top South Park for that. That Cartman-Scott Tenorman gif is iconic.
