What are your favorite episodes? These are mine (I'm sorry I couldn't pick just ten):
18) Mojo the Monkey.
17) One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. The one where the town loses the Olympics to Shelbyville and Homer has to sell all the springs.
16) The Simpsons move to Cypress Creek so Homer can work for Hank Scorpio and the Globex Corporation.
15) Pinchy the Lobster.
14) The Germans buy the power plant from Mr. Burns (he does a VERY funny Elvis impersonation)
13) Bart goes to a Spinal Tap concert and Otto moves in with the Simpsons.
12) Lisa starts an independent newspaper and Mr. Burns monopolizes the media.
11) Homer becomes a hippie and the whole town trips on peyote featuring George Carlin.
10) 301st episode: Homer tours with the ribwich.
9) Bart goes on Focusyn pills for his ADD and steals a tank.
8) Treehouse of Horror V. The Shinning. ‘nuff said.
7) The Prisoner. The one where Homer becomes Mr. X and then winds up at the island for people who know too much.
6) Homer trips on the “Merciless Peppers of Quitzel-Saka Tannanza grown deep in the jungle primeval by the inmates of a Guatemalan insane asylum” featuring Johnny Cash.
5) The Simpsons vs. the republicans. The one where Bart moons the American flag.
4) Homer smokes pot, featuring Phish (naturally).
3) The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror XI. You know, the one with the dolphins.
2) Homer’s Oddessy, Lisa of Ark, and Homelet (come on. Rosencarl and Guilderlenny?! Hilarious!)
…and my all-time favorite episode…
1) The teachers go on strike and Marge teaches Bart’s class.
I liked the one with the gay guy. So many brilliant lines!
"Zzzzzzzap!"
"Think of the house price! Now we can never say that only straight people have been in here!"
"I like my beer cold, my tv loud and my homosexuals fa-LAY-ming!"
Marge: "He's a ho..."
Homer: "Yeah....."
Marge: "mo....."
Homer: "Yeah......"
Marge: "sexual"
Homer: "Aaaaaaaaaaargh"
So good!!!!
Another episode that springs to mind instantly as one of my faves is "The Cartridge Family." The whole scene when Homer is trying to buy his gun at the store is possibly more genius than the Sideshow Bob-rake incident.
"I'd kill you if I had my gun!"
"Yeah well, you don't."
Mr. Burns "See My Vest"
Some men hunt for sport, others hunt for food
The only thing I'm hunting for
Is an outfit that looks good
See my vest, see my vest
Made from real gorilla chest
Feel this sweater there's no better
Than authentic Irish setter
See this hat, twas my cat
My evening wear vampire bat
These white slippers are albino African endangered rhino
Grizzly bear underwear
Turtle's necks I've got my share
Beret of poodle on my noodle
It shall rest
Try my red robin suit
It comes one breast or two
See my vest, see my vest, see my vest
Like my loafers former gophers
It was that, a skin my chauffers
But a greyhound fur tuxedo would be best
So let's prepare these dogs (some lady "kill two for matching claws"😉
See my vest, see my vest, oh please won't you see my vest
I really like the vest

My favorite joke from that episode is this:
Homer and Marge are trying to escape the candy convention security crew. He gets a pouch of "pop rocks" and a soda pop from the vending machine. He quickly mixes them together and then throws them into the crowd. The resulting explosiion is so big that it launches Homer at least 50 feet.
