Simpsons episodes in which Bart locks

sophisticated and poofy haired Sideshow
Bob number 10 the Italian Bob why can’t
you people learn to speak my language I
learned to eat your food when mr. burns
sends Homer to pick up his new car
directly from the factory The Simpsons
get a free trip to Italy however a
cheese related mishap leaves the family

down with a family and put his life of
crime behind him
unfortunately for Bob the unexpected
guests put his secret past back in the
spotlight it’s a sharp deviation from
other Bob episodes and though it may be
less memorable its originality earned it
number nine the bob next door hello Bart
huh say that again hello Bart having a
crazed maniac come after you multiple
times would leave any ten-year-old with
lasting trauma and paranoia we’re
surprised Bart isn’t seeing flashes of
Bob just about everywhere but when a new
neighbor joins the Simpsons on Evergreen
Terrace Bart becomes convinced that it’s
actually his old foe in disguise and it
might not just be his repressed trauma
talking you see part you were right all
along Sideshow Bob this episode calls
back to a few classic Simpsons gags with
yet another throwback to the famous rake
bit and even a scene that takes place at
the five corners which was last seen way
back in season six delivering plenty of
nostalgia mixed with fresh jokes it was
an episode worthy of this beloved
villain but their sum total is the
greatest murder since Snape killed
Dumbledore
oh I haven’t gotten to that part yet
number eight the great louse detective
the lord of the steam gentile steam gent
despite his affable nature homers made a
few enemies over the years and one of
them apparently is not messing around in
this episode a mysterious assassin makes
several attempts on Homer’s life given
the Springfield Police Department’s less
than stellar success rate at solving
crimes
Homer goes to the most experienced
criminal he knows to try and figure out
who’s behind the string of assassination
attempts with a shock collar equipped
Bob to lend some insight into the
criminal mind the family eventually
learns the killer’s identity
no you you’re my mechanic jr. Frank
Grimes jr. Frank gray
don’t you remember seeing Bob and Homer
work together wasn’t just a novel
concept it was also a hilarious Odd
Couple pairing for the ages
I saved a life
and it feels wonderful number seven day
of the jackanapes folks I’ve been in
showbiz for 61 years but now these jerks
have sucked all the fun out with
declining ratings Krusty the Klown
decides to finally bid showbiz adju
announcing his retirement for a fifth
time when Krusty reveals he’s taped over
every episode featuring his former
sidekick sideshow bob bob flies into a
rage and plots revenge again in a rare
show of effectiveness Bob then captures
Bart as part of his plan to kill both
him and Krusty have Bart
kill Krusty obviously things don’t go to
plan and Bob is probably still kicking
himself for not finishing Bart when he
had the chance inevitable conclusion
aside it’s an episode with solid laughs
and a wonderfully convoluted plot one
that put both Bob’s genius and his
tendency to overthink things front and
center ah the cat look a perfect vantage
point forever
number six sideshow Bob’s last gleaming
but something’s been troubling me lately
television in this classic episode Bob
turns his rage towards television after
growing tired of what he sees as a
cavalcade of dull banality polluting the
airwaves
remember this was 1995 and Breaking Bad
and the wire were a long ways off in a
convoluted scheme to rid Springfield of
television
Bob breaks out of prison and steals an
atomic bomb interrupting the families
day out at the local air show by the way
I’m aware of the irony of appearing on
TV in order to decry it so don’t bother
pointing that out while far from the
best of Bob schemes this caper still
features some great moments like Bob’s
impression of an Army colonel voiced by
none other than our lee Ermey of Full
Metal Jacket Fame this is Colonel Leslie
hep hep a BLAP if you don’t open that
door I’ll tear you up like a Kleenex in
a snot party you say you’re in the
military
number five brother from another series
yes
I’m framing you and I’m doing a really
excellent job too
this episode brought many new elements
to the table giving more of a sense of
depth and intrigue to Springfield’s
resident evil genius when Bob is
released from prison again he’s reunited
with his estranged brother Cecil
gives Bob a job working at a
construction site building Springfield’s
new hydroelectric dam I have the 82
Chateau Latour and a rather indifferent
Rose on Ziegler I’ve been in prisons has
flu I’ll be happy just as long as it
doesn’t taste like orange Drake
fermented under a radiator this episode
introduced david Hyde Pierce’s sideshow
sessile and the fact that the actor also
played the brother of kelsey Grammer’s
character on Frasier is not something
the episode was shy about mining for
comedy Cecil would appear later on in
the series as well but this first
appearance is still his best yes Maris
number 4 Sideshow Bob Roberts what’s
worse than a megalomaniac villain who’s
clearly gone off the deep end one who’s
entered politics after repeatedly
calling into a right-wing radio show bob
becomes the darling of Springfield’s
chapter of the Republican Party with the
help of his new Republican allies Bob
runs for mayor of Springfield and wins
and the results are in for Sideshow Bob
100% for Joe Quimby one percent and we
remind you there is a 1% margin of error
naturally having his arch nemesis as the
mayor makes Bart’s life a whole lot
harder but he and Lisa quickly discover
Bob’s mayoral win is a bit suspicious
this is another classic Sideshow Bob
episode with Bob’s villainous schemes
providing material for plenty of jokes
directed at Republicans and political
conspiracies alike your guilty
conscience may force you to vote
Democratic but deep down inside you
secretly longed for a cold-hearted
Republican to lower taxes brutalize
criminals and rule you like a king
number three Krusty gets busted hey
what’s going on here go through the
clown you’re under arrest for armed
robbery
every story has to start somewhere and
the rivalry between Bart Simpson and
Sideshow Bob began with this episode
from the show’s very first season when
Bart’s idol Krusty the Clown is arrested
after seemingly having robbed the
kwik-e-mart
Krusty’s sidekick Bob speaks for the
very first time and takes over as host
of his TV show for years I have been
silent saying for the crude glissando
this primitive wind instrument but now
destiny has thrust me into the center
ring but Bart and Lisa have their doubts
about Krusty’s guilt and their
investigation into the robbery begins a
rivalry that would last for decades this
marks the very first appearance of
kelsey grammer is Bob and the start of
Bob’s career is an arch-villain and
criminal mastermind to call this episode
a classic is an understatement
number two black widower soon I will
kill you some PS aunty beau French for
her foot smells lovely we all want to
find love but sometimes that search can
lead you down some dangerous paths when
aunt Salma brings her new boyfriend to
meet the family Bart and Lisa are
shocked to see that the object of her
affections is none other than Sideshow
Bob rather than accept that bob has
repented for his crimes and has nothing
but the best intentions the do all puts
them under intense scrutiny that man is
scum and calming missus scum something
that eventually saved Selma from certain
death not only did it set the tone for
future Bob episodes it also gave us a
fully fleshed out Sideshow Bob a villain
worthy of multiple guest appearances
spanning decades well time for my walk
don’t forget today number one Cape Fear
it wasn’t the first time Bob and Bart
cross paths but it’s undoubtedly the
best heavily modelled after the 1962
film Cape Fear and it’s 1991 remake by
Martin Scorsese the episode sees Bob
paroled from prison only to quickly make
clear his intention to put Bart six feet
under fearing for their lives the
Simpson family goes into witness
protection
hello mr. Thompson I think he’s talking
to you
a landmark episode that firmly cemented
the Bob Barton ammok as well as Bob’s
love of Gilbert and Sullivan not to
mention a deep hatred of Raikes this is
the Bob episode two rival them all and
one of the best episodes in the entire
series I was wondering if you could sing
the entire score of the HMS pinafore
very well but I shall send you to heaven
