Great episodes, though I am a little surprised You Only Move Twice isn't one of George's picks given, y'know, the Globex shirt (it's my personal favorite, along with Monorail and Homer's Phobia).

JakeyShakeyBakeyBoy

Ay awesome! Marge v Monorail’s my second favourite episode after Cape Feare! Definitely worth checking out some random eps in the future if these videos were fun to do :)

Eric Mc Daniel

Wasn't expecting this but I'm down with it

Jeff K

It's so funny how very Conan the writing in Marge vs the Monorail is. Like, after I learned he wrote it, it's so easy to imagine every single joke in his voice. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have stopped for that haircut" is such a Conan joke, for example, to the point where I can see in my mind exactly what his facial expression would be delivering it.

Stugotz

Wow, this was a nice little surprise!

Excellent choices I went to a Simpsons table quiz last week and did less well than I'd hoped (12th out of about 40 teams) So I've to study for the next one, I'll start with these 👀

Ph4ZeD

Amazing! But so sad that King Size Homer isn’t your favourite :D

Harry Fieldson

I would absolutely love if you guys watched some of the halloween specials, they're some of my favourite TV of any show ever

Den Radar Ryan

My main life hero, Danny Elfman, wrote The Simpsons theme! 🙃♥️🐦‍⬛🎶 This show makes me feel so old now though since I remember watching the very first premiere episode when it first aired when I was in 5th grade. 😳🤣

Simone's Coconut Squire

FUN FACT!: I went to elementary and high school with the son of Alf Clausen who is responsible for the vast majority of the music in The Simpsons (besides the theme song). He DID however write the theme song to ALF the TV show!

Chris Servais

I've never been crazy about the Simpsons movie (too late in the series for me), but the fact that it also includes y'all watching these absolute classic episodes is a big, big plus! Can't wait to check these out after work!! I will be there or kindly be square.

Haye Zeus

More Simpsons = More Gooder

Orphan Crippler

I always enjoyed the episode with Frank Grimes.. There was just something about a normal, everyday, average joe being put into the world of the Simpsons causing him to have a complete mental breakdown that I found hilarious

lovemoose

I just started watching the Simpsons because of george haha I'm on season 3

djKENTO

The flashback in the New York episode is playing The Entertainer which is a song from the movie The Sting which came out in the era he’s in New York. It’s just solidifying that it’s in the early 70s.

djKENTO

Mad Magazine still exists but it’s only sold at comic book stores and by subscription now as part of DC comics and their distribution and print services. Look into the history of mad. Some of the funniest writers ever. Also National Lampoon. There’s a GREAT movie about the birth of National Lampoon on Netflix called A Futile and Stupid Gesture. So good.

Philipp Roensch

Lovely idea, I've only every seen a few episodes and memes. I know the movie, so I'm interested in what these episodes might add :)

E. D.

one of my favorites is always maggie bc she‘s so cute 😆

Johnny Liu

It has been so long since I've seen classic simpsons, this is a real treat, and feel free to do more haha!

Astraeos

My man, George you got some taste. Excellent three episode choices.

jackthegent

I would love for yall to watch some more simpsons. Doesn't have to be in order just random classic episodes.

SbE

These are some good choices *chefs kiss*

Jay

I think The Simpsons movie is absolute garbage, but this is a nice surprise.

Jeff K

And on that note, they really, REALLY need to watch The Sting. It's an all-time classic. Redford and Newman just being unbelievably charismatic and charming, and Robert Shaw in one of his best roles.

Jeff K

The book that movie is based on is a fantastic read, as well. Highly recommend.

E. D.

unrelated to the video: it would be so great if you‘d reacted to the original star trek series and later the movies

David N

This is exactly what I wanted, thank you. If I started watching the simpsons with the movie I don't think I would ever have seen more than a few episodes. But having seen it from the beginning I think it's the best written show ever.

David Melo

I call the big one Bitey <3

Awesome80s

The music from New York episode is from "The Sting", great movie

Matthew Doherty

A C.H.U.D. is a Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller. They are from a 1984 B-movie of the same name.

Maiki

One of my alltime favs. Would love to see them react to it one day.

REDR58

Speaking of Marge versus the monorail, you guys really need to check out “The Music Man” (1962) which is of course an inspiration for part of this episode. It’s a wonderful film with an excellent performance by Robert Preston. I’m not super into musicals, but even I enjoy this one.

Kinokind

All excellent choices! As I'm sure everyone is aware, the second episode's title and structure is based on the 1993 film, "32 Short Films About Glenn Gould", a montage of dramatizations from the life of the famed Canadian classical pianist - an excellent film, itself. Those Simpsons writers . . .

Scoobay

Homer’s phobia, Homer’s enemy and Trilogy of error are probably my favourites off the top of my head.

Jay

I'm with you on the movie. Loveable oaf Homer is gone and annoying as hell, idiot Homer is in full swing 😔

Logan Kerlee

Had a lot of fun watching these episodes with you both! I've got no idea what my favorites are.. it's been YEARS since I've watched The Simpsons. xD Growing up though, I watched two episodes each night on Fox. Ah, the good old days! :)

Dustin Duvall

2 quick things. First, for Simone. If someone else said this, apologies. The names of the cities in the monorail episode are later used in the supernatural episode, Something Wicked This Way Comes. :) Secondly, if this video does well, I'd be here for doing this with other shows. Friends, Seinfeld, The Office, South Park etc. Y'all can't watch everything, and there are lots of series with great standalone episodes. Also, y'all getting to share your favorite eps is a nice touch

Patrick

Did anyone else have the "Virtual Springfield" video game from 1997? That game was so much fun as a kid. The cd cover was a strawberry glazed donut with sprinkles lol (dammit, now I want a donut..)

Jeff K

And on that note: they should check out the clip (which is on YouTube) of Conan performing the song live at the Hollywood Bowl, dressed as Lyle Lanley.

zak

I could've sworn George has said in the past his favourite episode was You only move twice?

sarCC

My favorites are "The PTA Disbands" and "Homie The Clown."

akaTheBARON

🖤So many great episodes, I couldn't, on the spot, put what my top 3 are. Really would have to think on it. These 3 are definitely contenders.

Spawncalibur

This is amazing! Do more if possible! King Size Homer and Deep Space Homer. Treehouse of horror episodes around Halloween maybe?

Oliver piercey

You guys gotta do marge in chains 04/21 , Homer at the Bat 03/17 , Marge gets a job 04/07 and Fear of Flying 06/11 .

Patrick

Where are you guys watching this? I have Hulu and Fox, but it only lets met watch the current season streaming.

Happy Hanukkah

Free-associating. "Something Wicked This Way Comes" has mostly entered popular culture as the title of the great Ray Bradbury's novel. (He himself took the phrase from Macbeth, of course*.) This video** is Rachel Bloom's NSFW ode to Ray Bradbury***: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1IxOS4VzKM * Yes, I did have to throw in the "of course," pretentious snob that I am. ** YouTube age-restricted, sorry****. *** It also marked her to rise to "prominence"*****. **** No, I have never heard of youtube-dl. ***** That's what Rachel Bloom said!

Michael Green

The couch gag George mentioned is from season 26 episode 1. It's by the wonderful animator Don Hertzfeldt, who made the Academy award nominated shorts Rejected and World of Tomorrow, both fantastic. I doubt it would ever happen but a short film reaction video would be genuinely cool.

Jon

Did I hear Luna purring or was I auditory hallucinating?

Joey Jo Jo JR Shabadoo

in no particular order but my top 3 are probably the curse of the flying hellfish, you only move twice and Treehouse of horror VI. Georges 3 are all probably in the top ten though as well

BangDroid

Aint no way I could pick fav eps! Also the dichotomy of fav eps paired with the Movie, is interesting lol I'm not a fan of the movie at all

Max Krause

How has Simone managed to be on the internet without encountering Steamed Hams in one form or another? Steamed Hams memes show up in my Youtube recommendations at least 3-4 times a year without me looking up anything Simpsons related. On that note: Simone, please do yourself a favour and just type in "Steamed hams but" on Youtube and go down the rabbit hole. It's honestly amazing what people are coming up with to this day!

Scott McClintock

Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller(s) Or C.H.U.D(s). are the antagonists from an 1984 Sci-Fi/Horror flick of the same name. Not an endorsement of said film, just an answer to the question.

RipTheRipper

Requests: - Atonement (2007) - Isle of Dogs (2018) - The Whale (2022) - Dumb Money (2023) - The Elephant Man (1980) - 48 Hours (1982)

Starman Deluxe

Dude, I would pay extra for them to go through the whole first 9 or so seasons

Travis H

If you all want to continue watching The Simpsons I am 100% on board. I used to go to Disney World on the regular and was massively disappointed every time I rode the monorail and no one started to sing the song.

E. D.

I was expecting to not find full simpsons episodes for free and I was right edit: ok i found them

Jay

I couldn't pick a top 3, but you'd struggle to pick a bad episode from season 3 to 9. If yous ever get to Scorsese's Cape Fear, definitely watch The Simpsons episode after for a little bonus content.

Chase Schleich

It's amazing that they've come up with a new couch gag for every episode. That's like 52,000 couch gags.

Cromulentius

It didn't occur to me until now that, if it were written in later seasons, the episode would have been titled Lisa vs. the Monorail. In season 4 they were still figuring out the characters, but they eventually started to use Lisa anytime they needed somebody to do some sleuthing or give an passionate yet futile town hall speech.

Bennett Holleman

I love anything involving Mr. Burns. My top episodes include his run for governor, his Howard Hughes casino, hitting Bart with his car and of course Who Shot Mr. Burns, the best of the series imo. The sour quince log just kills me.

AC10

She looks so happy in this intro. Ah... This was the good life. That kid life. Not a care in the world binging The Simpsons and King of the Hill day after day.

MacGuffinStuff

I ALMOST got to meet Hank Azaria once. I was in high school and my friend was in drama club, I was his +1 on their field trip to some TV studios, a local LA station where we saw the Dating Game (or Love Connection?), and Fox, where we watched a taping of a show called Herman's Head (same premise as Inside Out), Yeardley Smith (Lisa) was also on that show, so was the actor who played Carol, Ross's ex wife on Friends. Anyway there was a break and the audience got to talk to some of the cast, but Hank Azaria wasn't the main character, that actor I've only ever seen in Fright Night otherwise, so everyone was mobbing him while NOBODY went to talk to Hank Azaria (he wasn't at all famous yet), he just watched everyone from the side and I actually felt bad and wanted to talk to him but I was too shy and just stayed in my seat.

Jesse Coombs

The music when young Homer goes to New York is from "The Sting". I can't remember if you guys watched it, but it's fantastic. A con movie with Robert Redford and Paul Newman. Think Ocean's Eleven, but in the 1930's.

REDR58

I remember when it was first on Thursday nights and then was moved to Sunday night at least in the US.

Jesse Coombs

I can't remember all of them, but I really like the one with the lemon tree, the one where Homer gets a new job with a James Bond-type villain and Marge drinks wine, the one where Lisa and Nelson are kind of dating, the one where George Bush moves in next door (probably my favorite), "Mr. Plow", the one where Homer goes to space, the one with Lisa's substitute teacher (Dustin Hoffman!), the original "Santa's Little Helper" episode, the one with the cult (the special rings!), and many many more. Those are just the top of my head.

akaTheBARON

🖤Just a rando thought. Something extra you guys could do from time to time (when you have time), or even take a movie slot here and there is do more Simpsons episodes. "Essential Simpsons" if you will. George knows all the classics "must see" episodes, it'd be fun to introduce Simone to more. But again this, at best, would be an "extra" type of deal most likely, not something I'm suggesting for something to go in the TV show slots since there's a lot on your plate in that arena already.

FranciscoGios

I believe my favorites are the Halloween Specials, I mean all episodes are great but this are just a reminder when I was young watching them on Sunday nights.

REDR58

Did an anyone here ever have the chance to go up into the towers? Back in the late 1980s my 8th grade class took a field trip to NYC from the Philadelphia suburbs. It was the one and only time I was in the North Tower and we went to the Windows on the World restaurant. It was the tallest building I was ever in.

Ricardo Alanis

Simone, I love your beanie! Can I ask where you bought it or if it’s handmade?

Ricardo Alanis

I attend a monthly 90’s Simpsons Trivia night in Brooklyn and it’s always a blast. Three rounds of trivia and 3 episodes in between. If there is a musical number, the entire place sings along. My three favorite episodes are probably: King-Size Homer Homer Goes To College Lisa On Ice

Kinokind

George could do this again in October with Tree House of Horrors! And yes, that old-timey music at the beginning of New York was used in the (Academy Award Winning) film "The Sting", and was a radio staple in the early 1970's, but it's called "The Easy Winners" and was written by Scott Joplin, in 1901.

Adam Wetstein

monorail is the parody of the music man

Simon Pegged Me

I was impressed that you could narrow it down to only three episodes. I could only get it down to five: 1. Kamp Krusty 2. Deep Space Homer 3. You Only Move Twice 4. Itchy & Scratchyland 5. Colonel Homer 5. Raging Abe Simpson and his Grumbling Grandson in "The Curse of the Flying Shellfish" (tie) And a shout out to Homerpalooza for having one of my favorite exchanges of all time: Billy Corgan: (introducing himself) Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins. Homer: Homer Simpson, smiling politely.

windyWin

I'm 35 and grew up being obsessed with the show, to the degree where people had to tell me to stop talking about it when I was younger. I usually think of season 3-4 to 9 being the best with some good ones in later seasons. I also was into the commentary tracks back when I had the DVD box set.

John McLeod

Homer’s Enemy is the greatest of all time.

Daniel flohr

Favorite couch gag is the one where the wall and couch recede into the distance with the family chasing after

Rachel W

The Screamapillar and Cape Fear Parody episodes are my fav Simpson's

Ian

Love this format! Would love more just like it

Joshua Davidson

My top 10 episodes are #1 Last Exit to Springfield #2 Marge vs. the Monorail #3 Itchy and Scratchy Land #4 Kamp Krusty #5 Boy Scouts 'n the Hood #6 Lisa the Iconoclast #7 22 Short Films About Springfield #8 Cape Feare #9 Radioactive Man #10 Who Shot Mr. Burns parts 1 and 2

Joshua Davidson

Seasons 4-10 of The Simpsons were borderline perfect. Seasons 1-3 took a while to find their footing but had their moments. Even in the show's decline, it was still watchable and had some hidden gems up until around season 15 or 16, I haven't really watched most of the show past that though.

David Lonewolf Wright

1. You Only Move Twice 2. Treehouse of Horror V 3. Homer the Heretic 4. Cape Feare 5. The Mysterious Voyage of Homer 6. Marge vs the Monorail 7. Homer vs the Eighteenth Amendment 8. The Springfield Files 9. Simpson Tide 10. Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious This was a tough list to make and I have a feeling that it could change each day I try to make it, except for my top 3... those will never change.
