Theres a couple I forgot to list on there that I should have, the Frank Grimes episode for example.

the one where homer gets fat is my new favorite.it changes from time to time.

The one with The Plow King was one of the most memorable ones for me. From the jingle " ... Mr. Plow, that's my name, that name again, is Mr. Plow" to the Spanish version, to "Kiss my asphalt ... so I say to her "Kiss my asphalt"" and on and on.

Speaking of Homer and a friend, where Moe steals his Flaming Homer.

And of course "We do, we do, who keeps the metric system down? We do, we do ... who keeps Atlantis off the maps?? We do, we do ... " ...
