Which episode of The Simpsons is The Worst. Episode. Ever?

The next one

The one where Homer starts his own religion

This is a difficult question to answer since the Simpsons stopped being good like 20 years ago.

Someone is likely to give you some stock answer like "The Principal and the Pauper" but properly answering this question would require watching 2 decades of shitty zombies Simpsons episodes.

I'm not going to want to watch hundreds and hundreds of shitty Simpsons episodes just to find out which random episode is the shittiest.

lisa goes gaga

Kill the Alligator and Run

>Someone is likely to give you some stock answer like "The Principal and the Pauper"
that was good though

No it's not you fucking castrated corporation worshipping faggot

The one with the screaming caterpillar.

I stopped watching it like fourteen years ago so fuck if I know

Can't say with any authority because like said, there hasn't been a good reason to be a regular viewer in decades. But I can give a small rant about one moment I did see that stuck out as sad and stupid, though.
Early on in the ep Homer and Bart are having a staredown because Bart doesn't want to eat something on his plate and Homer insists. The staredown goes on for days and one of the jokes that comes up in the sequence is that Marge handles Homer's fantasy football draft and is pleased as punch to tell him she got "all kickers, that's good right," and in response, Homer doubles-down that Bart is DEFINITELY eating that thing now. An OK fly-by joke.
But then that joke later becomes the B-plot because - I don't know - the writers apparently didn't have anything else for the girls to do, and there's a short, unfunny sequence where a narrator basically says that her all-kicker team won the fantasy pool because the universe willed it and everyone else was humiliated.
If you really wanted that extended punchline in you could've done it better by simply having Marge holding the fantasy trophy when Homer and Bart returned without drawing attention to it, as-is it's as good an example as any other I can think of to show how the writers lost the ability to just tell a joke.

Even lesser Bill and Josh trying to make a point about sitcom changes no one likes but misfiring is better than the completely unlikable nothing the show is now.

>muh cannon in a show where the writers never cared about muh cannon!
Grow up.

The one where Marge and Homer cheat on each other, but that's okay because it was aaaaaaall a dream...

Large Marge

why did they have to return to statu quo

Lowest rated one is Lisa Goes Gaga and just a basica plot summary could probably tell you why.

I think as the series goes on, the principal and the pauper ranks pretty low on bad episodes? in a vacuum it's hilarious, and if the show did end at season 10 i could understand the hate it got a little.

that the one with lena dunham? ick.

Lisa goes Gaga, the recent feminazi episode and the halloween one with Homer only being able to communicate by breaking wind are the 3 worst.

Bart misses a catch for his school baseball team, causing the whole of Springfield to heckle him to the point of going suicidal.

When Lisa became a vegetarian. I think thats when i became to dislike the show and also when she became Buddhist and this is coming from a person who did those things.

They really milked the Cletus jokes in the zombie seasons.

its a bad episode and a turning point but there's still some good jokes in it when compared to the cancer that followed it.

'Greatest Story Ever D'ohed' gets my vote. Maybe because I'm irreligious and find Cohen painfully unfunny at the best of times, but the whole episode was just painful to sit through.

There were only really two 'jokes' the pants thing at the beginning and the sign in the Israeli airport the rest of the attempts at humour seemed very scattershot and reminiscent of 'Family Guy' to me

Principle and the Pauper isn't that bad even when compared to golden age episodes and ESPECIALLY when compared to Zombie Simpsons (season 13 onward)

>writers lost the ability to just tell a joke
Are there any writers left from the golden era of the Simpsons on show? How many rotations and swaparounds have their been since? If viewed as a total, "the writers" as a single entity has lost its touch, but that's almost certainly just a consequence of a team composed majority of shitters. Most of the talent will have got bored and moved on, this is what talent does.

The one where town hated Bart for losing a game.

fuck you, season 12 is the absolute LAST SEASON in which there are ABOUT half good and bad episodes.

after that, it just gets more and more worse episodes than good, then nothing but bad episodes.

S20E5, Dangerous Curves
Another continuity breaker that retreads the same exact ideas for stressors on their marriage, only this time, it's such unbelievably boring trite that there's not even anything extremely bad that you can love to hate. The zombie seasons are filled with horrible retreads, but just how dull it was makes it take the cake.
The Runner-Ups are:
S23E06 - The Book Job
S22E03 - The Great Wife Hope
S24E01 - Moonshine River
S30E18 - Bart vs Itchy & Scratchy
S30E21 - D'Oh Canda
S28E03 - The Town
S15E17 - My Big Fat Geek Wedding
S23E06 - A Tree Grows in Springfield
S23E07 - The Day the Earth Stood Cool
S18E14 - Yokel Chords
S18E18 - The Boys of Bummer
and the real contender for #1: S16E11 - On a Clear Day I Can't See My Sister

>S20E5, Dangerous Curves
Homer has almost cheated on his wife like 3-4 times now

>I think as the series goes on, the principal and the pauper ranks pretty low on bad episodes?

It's not until S14 when fans see a true middle finger of an episode.
