[Music]
number 10
Bart’s gift happy homemaker and mom
supreme Marge Simpson just wants one
thing for Christmas a nice family photo
please Bart no more pranks it would mean
so much to me if we could have just one
nice family photo this year however
Bart’s got a bigger reason for not
wanting to be part of the family
portrait
he was caught shoplifting when March
finds out her positive view on her
missed of his son is broken and she
wonders if she spoiled him
Bart feeling adrift decides to show them
just what sort of person he really is
returning home
it seems he’s disappointed his mother
again until he reveals what he’s done
it’s such a surprisingly thoughtful
moment it’s hard not to feel moved I
one of the surprise of her Christmas Oh
sweetie
this is the best present a mother could
get number nine Lisa tries to help this
later seasons episode has a real classic
feel following a storm a whale washes up
on shore at Springfield Beach and
idealistic Lisa tries to lend assistance
Mike can you believe that something so
mighty has been rendered so powerless
when the town can’t help
she tries emotional support she reads to
the marooned mammal and stays with it
throughout the night certain that things
will be alright in the end their world
below the brine forests at the bottom of
the sea the branches and leaves sea
lettuce vast lichens but by morning
there’s nothing more she can do and
despite her dreams poor Lisa finds the
whale has died in the night Elena the
most well-meaning an innocent member of
the Simpsons family lisa learns a hard
lesson that sometimes despite hope and
good intentions nature is cruel just
like their mom oh I guess it’s just
Nature’s Way number eight
Baby Talk throughout this flashback
episode we see that when Lisa was first
born
Bart hated her
who’s cuter now jealous of the attention
the new baby was getting Bart did
everything he could to get rid of her
finally little Bart decides their house
just isn’t big enough for the two of
them and plans to run away
that is until Lisa says her first word
excited bartels homer and Marge that
he’s her first word back what did you
say bye – you can talk then we flash
forward after an episode of Homer
getting teased by his kids and Maggie
says her first word without anyone
hearing it’s daddy making for a one-two
punch of adorableness I hope you never
[Music]
CACI number seven mod dies not play hot
rowdy we’re up here out of range of the
crashes and the drivers cussing the
Flanders crew was always the perfect
foil to the unruly albeit more relatable
Simpsons squeaky clean always honest and
good-natured to a fault that seems like
the happiest guy on earth but during a
day at the Raceway mod is struck by a
barrage of t-shirts thrown from the
bleachers and dies as a result of the
freak accident Maude well she was always
something of a secondary character she
was still the first truly major death in
the series and it shakes Ned’s faith to
the core there’s something so sad about
seeing the unflappable Flanders and his
kids brought solo whether you noticed
her or not Maude was always there and we
thought she always would be number six
Barney’s film next they’re gonna show my
movie you made a movie movie I was on a
cover of Entertainment Weekly
Springfield Film Festival is all anyone
can talk about in this episode and
everyone wants a chance at the grand
prize most entries are either silly or
over-the-top when local south Barney
Gumble film comes up the audience
assumes it’ll be more of the same
however his entry is a surprisingly
poetic musing on his life as an
alcoholic with comedic elements it is
the Simpsons after all it’s brilliant
savagely honest tender he has the soul
of a poet
yeah excuse me did something crawl down
your throat and die it didn’t die comic
relief aside alcoholism is an immensely
serious affliction one that impacts
thousands of people’s lives this black
and white short film humanizes an
otherwise punch line of a character and
manages to within the laughs signal that
[Music]
number five Bart’s test why are we
dancing around the obvious I know it you
know it I am dumb okay does a post
think unhappy about it it’s no surprise
that Bart is not a world-class student
but when mrs. Krabappel tells him he’s
got to pass the next test or repeat the
fourth grade he begins to get serious
repeat the fourth grade what you get
only back I’ll do better I promise maybe
it would help him to be left back for
once in his life and despite all
temptations he studies hard after the
test mrs. Kay thinks this is business as
usual and marks the paper on the spot
Bart finds out that even with his best
efforts he still failed well Bart it’s a
59 left another F his sincere hurt and
disappointment are nothing short of
heartbreaking it becomes a great moment
of character for both Bart and mrs. K
but first it’s just a ten year old kid
[Music]
Lisa has always been the odd one out in
the Simpsons household although brainy
and independent Lisa lacks a certain
confidence and as she sees it also a
male role model she can truly look up to
yes but I didn’t do it are you sure you
didn’t do it it’s good know what I’m
just trying to wish I had when her
teacher is out sick mr. Bergstrom seems
like the mentor she’s always craved I
mean this man makes you feel like
there’s nobody better your father does
that to me but as a substitute teacher
it’s not long before it’s time for him
to leave devastated she asks him not to
go in a final lesson he hands her a note
that he promises will help the simple
message has resonance for lonely kids
and adults in need of guidance
number three homers death after
consuming deadly fugu or Blowfish Homer
is told he only has one day left to live
you have 24 hours to live 24 hours well
he tries to live his last day to the
fullest making a checklist and trying to
get it all done
he’s waylaid and doesn’t get to do
everything including spending more time
with his kids
the real heartbreak occurs at night
after spending what he thinks is a last
moment with his loving wife he goes from
room to room saying goodbye to his
children goodbye Maggie sweet as you are
he then goes off to face his impending
death alone fortunately Homer does live
to see another sunrise number 2 do it
for her pictures of Maggie well I’m glad
you asked it’s actually a very
interesting story in this flashback
episode a story about why there are no
pictures of Maggie at home we see that
Homer had actually made it in life he
managed to land his dream job and quit
his gig at the nuclear power plant when
Marge became pregnant with Maggie he was
forced to return to the better paycheck
at the power plant
gloating mr. burns writes a sign for him
to stare at don’t forget you’re here
forever there is the special
demotivational plaque to break what’s
left of you spirit because you see you
however we see at the end that Homer has
covered it with pictures of little
Maggie so that it reads instead do it
for her
it’s a sudden sweet moment that will
have you reaching for the tissues oh
there are pictures I keep them where I
need the most cheering up
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions
come on in dignities on me friends DEXA
muffle $200

[Music]
thought you were dead I thought you
would homer thought his mother was dead
for most of his life when he
unexpectedly gets her back he learns the
truth that she loved him
but was on the run from the law the pair
is looking forward to making up for lost
time but no sooner his mother s back
than she’s forced to leave again I guess
I was just a horrible son no mother
would what me Homer gets her out in time
but must say goodbye once more remember
whatever happens you have a mother and
she’s truly proud of you after she’s
gone homer sits sadly on the hood of his
car staring at the Stars the stillness
and reflection of the moment as the
credits begin to roll make this one of
the most poignant tear-jerking and
memorable scenes in the entire series
