Top 10 Simpsons Season 12 Episodes

[@TheRealJims]

Even though I uploaded this video close to a holiday, I did not include the Thanksgiving Classic episode "Homer vs Dignity." My apologies. 🦃

Not to worry, your takes and choices on episodes are always exceptional!! Keep churning through the seasons Jim’s!!

[@nathanstanfield4695]

And a merry Fishmas to you too

[@Killermike2178]

That's okay. The episode is a turkey. Actually, that might be an insult to turkeys. In truth, you would have to have a wild animal do a sneak attack on you with chloroform and kidnap you to put the episode where Homer gets r@ped by a panda on a Top 10 List of Good Episodes from a Simpsons Season...

[@FoxeyeValkyrie]

Skinner's Sense of Snow REALLY felt like a Season 3 episode, that the script was just laying under a bunch of papers for all those years and they stumbled on it and went with it during Season 12.

[@alejandro6070]

Yes! I'd have never guessed it was a season 12 episode

[@thevaguelyamusingtalkshow6439]

As a kid I saw it on a DVD of Xmas episodes and i always thought it was from the golden era.. it's so distinct from the rest of season 12

[@loadsofshite4887]

I have always said this. It feels so out of place in season 12

[@linkmaxwell]

Fun fact about Season 12: Our town government uses "123 Fake St." as a dummy address whenever we need to test something or show people how to fill out their address. We started doing this because of me and my love for the Simpsons. (We also used 742 Evergreen Terrace as the dummy address for the garage sale registration for the same reason!)

[@neeloreilly7163]

What are you the mayor

[@kotzpenner]

Started this too for personal use

[@AI_and_I_Lyrics]

We use "P.Sherman 42 wallaby way, Sydney"

[@sprthrwwychnnl73]

I have worked in internet sales departments in car dealerships for years. 123 Fake St is my test address too for the lead systems

[@spoofy8885]

What about a Simpsons Showdown between A Streetcar Named Marge and A Fish Called Selma? Both are about a Bouvier having issues with their marriage and whether or not their spouse truly cares for them. Oh, and they also have an extremely funny musical segment, there’s that too

[@cookiemocher388]

That's a great idea

[@derekmatzek9551]

Dude that would be a great episode!

[@fishboi5980]

And both have very similar names

[@Jotari]

I wouldn't call "Stop the Planet of the Apes. I Want to Get Off!" an extremely funny musical segment. Like, the jokes in it are not that laugh worthy. What it is though just plain entertaining legitimate theater.

[@KameronJ7]

@@Jotari "Can I play the piano anymore?" "Of course you can!" "Well I couldn't before."

[@EndOfSmallSanctuary97]

This is probably the season I feel the most nostalgic about, because for some reason this era of The Simspons (seasons 10-12) got replayed the most on TV when I was a kid, and season 12 definitely had the highest quality and most memorable set of episodes.

[@jessaminemanchester]

Same, even tho I mostly just rewatch the golden age of the Simpsons now I have so much nostalgia for season 12 bc my parents bought me the dvd box set and a portable dvd player for the first time I ever went on an airplane and I remember watching all the episodes pretty much on a loop for the whole trip and the months afterwards

[@BuddhaBot]

“So, your mother tells me you go to Springfield Elementary?” Comic Book Guy to Principal Skinner. Under-appreciated funniest line.

[@FoxUnitNell]

Most underrated line ever.

[@themanwithsauce]

I forgot how many quotes my family and I use that are from this season. From "DUFFMAN is THRUSTING in the direction of the problem!" to "Bring me my ranch dressing hose!" and "What do I tell the doctor?/Tell him to suck a lemon!"

[@nickcampanella636]

One of my favourites is Lenny's "Ah, my eye! I'm not supposed to get pudding in it!"

[@themanwithsauce]

@@nickcampanella636 oh, and there's the one in HOMR - *moe sticks the crayon in Homer's brain* "DEFENSE! OOH OOH! DEFENSE!/Hmmmm....that's preetttyyy stupid...but maybe just a little bit more/Extended warranty? Well how can I lose?/Bingo!"

[@freddiesimmons1394]

12 is still quotable. Not bad TV yet, still some episodes I want to rewatch

[@jaywinner328]

I've been telling people to go suck a lemon ever since.

"It's been a whole week! Why are you letting my husband die? What does this have to do with baseball?" "Death is a part of baseball." "Oh yeah, the main part."

[@marcus8176]

Hungry Homer at 2 is perfect, having rewatched season 12 following your retrospect I found myself laughing the hardest at this episode. The loafer lightner joke alone is so great, also Homer's song about being like Jesus but not in a sacreligous waaay.

[@Voltaic_Fire]

*_"For I am the mayor of Albuquerque!"_* That line has stuck with me ever since I saw it as a kid. 😂

[@nousukas]

Will he be the villain of the second Simpsons movie? Or do we get a sequel episode with him like with Camp Krusty?

[@GNerdful]

Me too and I don't even know where Albuquerque is

[@elijahfordsidioticvarietys8770]

Oh yeah, Mr. Mayor? What are you doing about your city's insane crystal meth problem???

[@conanfan1412]

I keep forgetting "Skinner's Sense of Snow" is this season. I always pegged it for Season 8. Then I remember the DVD joke. Had the episode been in Season 8, it would have aired in December 1996. DVDs didn't even come out in the USA until March 1997. The More You Know

[@mechajay3358]

Trilogy of Error is one of the best. It takes a big effort to tell three different stories and tie them all together in the end. Props to the staff for making that happen.

[@jean3947]

So at first I questioned why people don't like the third act of new kids on the blech, as I have very positive memories of the episode overall. And then you showed a picture of the mad magazine building and I realised just how much of the ending I'd truly forgotten, despite the episode itself being pretty iconic. And yeah, while the episode itself definitely still holds up, that ending choice was a little odd

[@jinoratheairnomad9777]

I really like Skinner’s Sense Of Snow, and while I have no objection to Trilogy Of Error getting #1, Skinner’s Sense Of Snow is my personal favorite. It also feels pretty cathartic to have Willie stand up to Skinner.

[@JagoHazzard]

My problem with The Computer Wore Menace Shoes wasn't that it ended with a Prisoner parody, it was that the parody wasn't very good. It felt like the writers read a few episode recaps and watched a couple of clips and figured they could take it from there.

[@frankb5728]

You want to spoil things

[@TheMightofDab]

I feel like they watched it in a bar last night. The sound wasn't on but they thought they got the gist

[@alexneill130]

I think that there probably were genuine Prisoner fans in the writers' room, but they gave the gags more of a Simpsons twist so as not to alienate the audience too much (although it probably did make quite a few people think "what the fuck is going on...?") I agree that some of them are a bit weak though. Once you’ve gotten over the novelty factor, some of the gags do fall a bit flat. But hearing Patrick McGoohan say “plastic forks” gets me every time 😂

[@memenationalcentre]

oh look it’s jago 👋🏼

[@psitaccus]

I never watched Prisoner, but I still really like this episode, even with the crazy third act full of references I don't get.

[@riffsnoleads]

HomR is properly ranked, however, it has my favorite relatable joke: "Extended warranty?! How can I lose?!"

[@lidoeg2]

The computer wore menace shoes has my favorite bit of Simpsons continuity when the salesman tells Homer this is the computer Astronauts use and he says "I was an astronaut"

[@LordRobbyshin]

New Kids on the Blecch is my guilty pleasure episode, very few episodes make me laugh as much. Lieutenant L.T Smash is second favourite one-off character, right after Don Brodka. That's right, Don Brodka.

[@recka5000]

"Superliminal?" "HEY! YOU! JOIN THE NAVY"

[@LordRobbyshin]

@@recka5000 Gotta love that three pronged attack

[@theccarbiter]

Yeah that episode is great

[@j04370859]

I love that episode.

[@VincentMariethe4th]

At 5:25, that shot of Wiggum throwing up his arms like that gets me EVERY time. That's just such a goofy but simple pose it never fails to make me laugh.

[@angryneeson5244]

"New Kids on the Blecch" is one of the most underrated Simpson's episodes ever. I'm not saying that it is one of the best ever--just that it is underappreciated. As a kid who grew up in the 90's, this episode really resonated with me over the years.

[@matthucarls]

The “Christmas Hobgoblin” song was listed as my favorite song in my 4th grade yearbook haha. I always have such good memories when I rewatch Skinners Sense of Snow.

[@nefarioussness]

I love their stilted little march before knocking over stuff. It's so dumb yet I crack up every time.

[@chitindrip]

One of the few season 12 episodes I actually liked was "Simpson Safari", nothing groundbreaking but it was one good gag after another

[@ianfinrir8724]

My favorite joke in that episode is the scary looking tribesmen wanting only to show the Simpsons a picture they drew.

[@KyleHarrisonRedacted]

Man, the "Actually, I feel better" joke slays me so hard everytime that I'm all in on the Mad Magazine swerve, and elevates that episode for me to an all time great, and then the whole boy band and subliminal recruitment story just makes the whole thing so good

[@koopatroopa]

I love the screen shake when Homer finally takes a bite out of the hot dog in Hungry Hungry Homer.

[@PatoGuzmanAd]

Everyone can say all they want about post season 9 Simpsons, but for me, if the chaos of seasons 10-11-12 serves to get "Trilogy of Error", it's all worth it, one of my favorite all time Simpsons episodes.

[@ryanstevens199]

The boy band episode is great if only for giving me “super liminal”. Hungry, Hungry Homer is only #2 if the mayor scene at the end is included (which it isn’t in reruns) And, yes, I also consider Trilogy of Error the best of the season.

[@TP3200]

Agreed with all of this. Also thanks for confirming my memory telling me that the mayor scene I saw on Disney+ wasn't there back when I saw the reruns. (That's almost as criminal as when they sometimes removed the lizard-tongue Simpsons in the toaster time travel Halloween episode.)

[@caseycapsulequeen]

One minute in and Jim's drops a Josie and the Pussycats shoutout. You never fail to amaze and impress me Jim. ❤

[@TheRealJims]

That movie is underrated. I think a lot of people go into thinking it's shallow pop music stuff, but I was impressed they got into some industry stuff

[@caseycapsulequeen]

@@TheRealJims It is truly one of my favorite movies of all time, and I think part of it is because it's a hidden gem. The marketing for it really was to it's detriment. Sincerely an iconic piece of cinema that captures the Y2K movement. Now I'll forever associate it to Yvan eht nioj.

[@SurriSama]

@@TheRealJims 🙄

[@nitrosherbert888]

I've always really liked the area code episode just it sounds like something that only a town like Springfield would do crazy plots like this can happen in a lot of shows but it needs a Cast. as strong as The Simpsons to have an entire town do that.

[@Descriptor413]

I mostly just love that episode because I had the same area code as The Simpsons growing up.

[@jhutt8002]

I think it's one of the best episodes in the show. Including the golden years. Don't know how did it didn't make the list?

[@nitrosherbert888]

Wow I guess I wasn't the only one

[@Ihasnotomato]

It's interesting how many of these episodes are so much 'you either love it or you hate it' It's interesting to see how the fans began to split more and more in what they personally like to see from a simpsons episode

[@Skshun]

I can’t wait till the day you do a video on “The best episode” from the entirety of the Simpsons once you’ve reviewed every damn thing.

[@polishhockeyfan]

Children of a Lesser Clod still has one of my absolutely favorite line deliveries by Dan Castellaneta in the entire series; "I'll mace you good!"

[@Verlisify]

New Kids on the Blecch is incredible commentary for the time in retrospect. People didn't realize the boyband/pop culture industry was that cynical until years after. The 3rd act did spoil an easy Top 2 season episode

[@downstageright3298]

New Kids on The Blech is a family favourite. We quote lines from it ALL the time

[@Snakie747]

Man, in the classic era an episode with a "dogshit" third act would never make a top 10 list for a season. Ouch.

[@DonutMaster56]

That's more because the earlier seasons were so good than that season 12 is bad

[@matthias_samahl1266]

Can't believe you didn't put 'the great money caper' on there, that's my number 1!

[@restionSerpentine]

"Snakes Natures quitters" "Forget it Homer... Its Chiro-Town" Also I do appreciate HOMR as the Flowers for Algernon parody it is.

[@trush0t1]

Geez no love for Simpsons Safari. The best episode in the entire season and it's not even close. Booooooo!!!

[@markusortner1081]

i really really like the stupidity of Simpsons Safari and it is a very funny and gag driven over the top simpsons episode for me

[@justinc.5591]

Bart on the Road vs Lemon of Troy would be a good comparison. They both primarily involve Bart, Milhouse, Nelson and Martin going somewhere without their parents’ permission.

[@NYRfan85]

Dancin' away my hunger pangs, movin' my feet so my stomach don't hurt! I'm kinda like Jesus, but not in a sacriligious waaay... My friends and I used to sing that song all the time in high school when it came out, it's such a classic Homer moment. And the whole episode is just top notch and hilarious!

[@mightyfilm]

Seeing "Simpsons Safari" eliminated right off the bat was incredibly satisfying. Anyway, I've been thinking about "Skinner's Sense of Snow" and Skinner's overall character for some time now. It's rare to see Skinner snap into Vietnam flashbacks after the classic era, and there's a LOT of reasons for him to snap. Unruly kids, a nagging, overbearing mother he has to live with well into his adult years, managing a failing school while Chalmers breathes down his neck, and failing to be seen as a peer or friend by him. While it's easy to sympathize with the kids in this episode, Skinner in the end IS responsible for these kids. He wants to do what he thinks is right and he knows if any of the kids get caught out in the storm, he's going to take the blame for it. Sure, he becomes a control freak and completely unreasonable the further on the episode goes, plus he sure as hell should have cancelled school for the day (if it was in his power, anyway). I always find there's a narrative about Skinner being a wide-eyed idealist, looking to turn his life around after the war by involving himself in children's education, only for the reality of a poorly funded public school beating him down to crush his spirit.

[@mightyfilm]

@Yege Other than the fact they stupidly brought it up in another episode, that was considered non-canon. It's more likely the writers just wanted to focus on the failing school Principal who lives with his mother and pines for some sort of friendship with Chalmers, rather than having him be a war vet. Also, they seem to have also made him maliciously want to sabotage school programs, rather than being beaten down by the school's lack of budget.

[@Rubberman202]

New Kids on the Blecch, Hungry Hungry Homer, and Trilogy of Error are definitely my favorites from this season. Other episodes I think are just okay have some funny bits in them, like Bye Bye Nerdie with that lady pretending to be Maggie, succeeding (after banging the bottle up a bit) to open a bottle of baby formula, and Homer freaking out about it. Seriously, Homer's freak-out still lives rent-free in my head. Oh, and Skinner's Sense of Snow, the bit where Martin says "With a little help from our friend sodium chloride" and Nelson starts being the shit out of him, I laugh EVERY time, that scene is just too funny and I can't fully articular why.

The scene where the cops raid the kid's secret tape screening and several of them try to escape through the posters and bash their heads will always be my favorite joke of the season.

[@oliversk8604]

With a tale of two Springfields, i understand it embodies many of the problems with middle/modern Simpsons, but honestly i just find it so funny. There's just a genuinely funny joke every 5 seconds. honestly one of my favourite episodes

[@thatdanjamesguy.330]

You definitely echoed my thoughts on Homr. The concept is really solid, but it’s let down by the series’ insistence (really growing around this time) that each act 1 be its own thing. There’s not much time left to explore how Homer’s intelligence affects everyone.

What I love about Skinners Sense Of Snow is the part with Homer hallucinating. Mainly because you can tell that Yeardley's trying desperately to stop herself laughing when she's doing the "HOOOONNK!" noise.

[@lakituscamera1508]

Great list all around, with the only major disagreement I have being that "Computer Wore Menace Shoes" is in the top ten at all. My personal favorite of the season (and one of my favorites in the entire series) is "Hungry, Hungry Homer", so I'm glad you gave it the recognition it deserved. And the episode it ultimately lost to is one that deserves the top spot, so I'm okay with it.

[@spudmoneybags85]

I love Skinner’s Sense Of Snow. “Nibbles quick, chew through my ball sack” is a top 10 Simpson joke.

[@strawberrysoulforever8336]

Okay, opinions on your top 10: 10: I saw this on TV when I was about thirteen. I thought it was OK. I think I would have picked Insane Clown Poppy over it myself, but it's not my list. 9: Now I think about it, yeah, Paul Bunyan and Marge do have a similar dynamic to King Homer. But I still like it. I enjoyed Connie Appleseed, too, even though Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn were fun enough. 8: Well, I liked this one. And yeah, I love the George Cauldron joke. 7: It doesn't live up to its name. It's okay. I think my favourite part is that Matt Groening's photo is on the Permanent Ban wall. I mean, seriously, that's how Matt was drawn three seasons later, wasn't it? 6: Bits of this one make me squeamish (inserting a crayon in someone's brain?), but the father/daughter bonding over brainpower really sells the episode to me. It also explains where Lisa's smarts came from. 5: Yeah, the Pointdextrose just doesn't make any sense, but the rest of the story was pretty good. I love how when Francine's nose is plugged, she not only doesn't attack Lisa, but she actually smiles and waves. But the thing is, if Lisa's theory worked, then boys would go after her, too, wouldn't they? 4: I grew up with the Internet when it had reached past this point. But I still thought the jokes were awesome. Plus, the Mr X website was actually real a good ten years ago. Someone made posts that looked just like Homer's. 3: A nice more easy episode. I always liked this one because it had so many jokes. 2: I never ever remember this episode. I just remember Homer went on hunger strike because of some team leaving Springfield, and then they put him in the stadium to make his strike backfire. There isn't much in it. 1: How could this NOT be number one? This episode made no sense! Tell the people! But seriously, no one's going to argue about the episode that introduced Linguo. Oh, and one more thing: THANK YOU SO MUCH for not including A Tale of Two Springfields. I dislike that one more than Simpson Safari.

[@Gojiro7]

whats funny for me about the Yvan eht nioj moment is when I watched it for the first time, I was folding clothes in my parents room which has a vanity mirror right next to the TV, I SAW the words shown correctly in the mirror before I even had a chance to think of it or be surprised by the reveal XD

[@westernfan1229]

Trilogy Of Error is my number 1 favorite episode from Season 12. I like how Homer, Bart, and Lisa's stories are connected and cross paths with each other. This proves that post season 10 still had some good episodes.

[@Contemplativeman101]

Years and years after seeing this episode on TV I finally went and watched 'The Prisoner' with massive levels of confusion. If anything, the Simpsons version of it makes more sense.

[@Grane1234]

I can't help but feel happy for Homer when he gets his way after doing something he doesn't enjoy doing in the slightest

[@nirman423]

New Kids on the Blecch Super Liminal joke lives in my head rent free.... which is rather ironic come to think of it. Oh well *whistles In the Navy*

[@PlanetZoidstar]

I never liked "bye bye nerdie", Homer's subplot makes it bearable but the A-Plot is just 20-odd minutes of Lisa being brutalised by a blank slate bully in Francine. She lacks any wit or charisma, she's just a psychotic brute with no redeeming qualities or charm. The ending felt dumb as well.

[@ReveiwKing999]

Frankly, I've always felt that episode would've been better if they'd gone with what they'd originally planned, where Lisa accidentally punched Skinner while trying to fight back against Francine and was sent to juvie to make counterfeit jeans.

[@PlanetZoidstar]

@@ReveiwKing999 Yeah, I would have liked that more. I get they wanted to have Lisa figure out a "smart" solution (to contrast Bart the General where water balloons were the solution), but the end product just turns Francine into a violent brute with no personality. That and the utter lack of support from the school or her parents was jarring. I know it's a running gag in The Simpsons that bullies almost never get punished, but they rarely serve as the main antagonists in an episode, so their brutality is short-lived. Here it's just non-stop Lisa abuse.

No "Tale of Two Springfields"? Maybe the episode worked on your test Top 10 corpse.

Honestly surprised New Kids on the Blecch isn't higher. The jokes are just so good, as are the songs.. ♪ I saw you last night ♪ ♪ At the spelling bee ♪ ♪ I knew right then ♪ ♪ That it was L-U-V ♪ ♪ I gotta spell out ♪ ♪ What you mean to me ♪ [Deep Voice] ♪ 'Cause I can no longer be ♪ ♪ A silent "G" ♪ and who could forget: The hippie fantasy again? They're getting less frequent, sir.

Skinners Sense of Snow is such a good episode, for a long time I thought it was from season 6 or 7

[@lanceuppercut_]

I thought it was from season 3

[@AcornScorn]

The computer wore menace shoes ending was just a massive the prisoner reference which makes the episode a personal fav for me

[@horgh_japan]

Kidnapping at #3? A bold decision.

I think you've got to give Insane Clown Pappi the 10 spot for the Johnny Tight Lips bit alone

[@RobiticDuck]

Josie and the Pussycats movie still rocks.

Can we get a video on Sneed’s Feed and Seed (Formerly Chuck’s)??

For those who like breaking bad, I learned about the real life Albuquerque isotopes from one of the Gene Scenes of better call Saul. When I saw it I was like woah they made a Simpsons reference, but then found out that they were real! But still based on the Simpsons team.

You didn't mention Superliminal, one of my favorite parts to quote!

Has TheRealJims sworn this whole time and I just never noticed?

[@cakes3958]

S12 has some decent episodes but most were let down by the wacky act 3. In addition, it’s like the writers tried their hardest to throw swerves in each episode and they thought it was hilarious. An example is in ‘Simpson Safari’ when Homer asks “do you think those bag boys are still on strike?” whilst their sailing through Africa - a ‘joke’ to highlight how the down to earth act 1 has escalated so far.

[@OH_MY_DOGGG]

The Fat Tony stuff (See: Johnny Tight Lips and Frankie the Squealer) will always enhance an episode like "Insane Clown Pappi"

[@davidmoncholi6746]

Good video Jim's

[@SlyJak2]

Such a shame you didn't even include A Tale of Two Springfields. It's always been one of my favourites. Everything about it is so awesome.

[@goodiesguy]

Wow, I didn't realise how many Season 12 episodes were in constant rotation here in NZ on TV3.

[@luistoses]

Hey, pal! Can you do Julio's Simpson Mystery? That character is quite unusual, because he appeared very late on the series but he earned a supporting character spot.

[@frankb5728]

I don't really care for "Insane Clown Poppy". I also think I remember liking "I'm Goin' to Praiseland".

[@pig-serpent830]

Lisa the Tree Hugger is one of my favorite episodes tbh. A lot of it is nostalgia, but I still think it has a good number of classic jokes that hold up whenever I rewatch it.

[@SellavinAtoms]

I've always ever since I got permit that trilogy of error and hungry hungry Homer are my favorites.

[@dicapriodelorean2888]

The dolphin segment always freaks my mom out, tho i can see why knowing how evil they are
