Right about now, you're probably saying, "Troy, basically every post starts with 'Guess the Episode', is that all this community is?"

To which I say you've got some attitude, mister.

But no, any Simpsons content is allowed in this community, although we do ask that you keep the shitposting over in [email protected].

Guess the Episode "Rules"

Post a screenshot from an episode of the Simpsons. Frinkiac being a popular source.
If posting a GIF the file size should be less than 1MB, otherwise it may not be animated.
Easy, a screenshot any who's seen the Simpsons would get.
Medium, a screenshot that would take a moment for most people to get.
Hard, a screenshot that someone only gets after you explain it to them.
Genius at Work, a screenshot that makes someone go, "Yeah, that's from The Simpsons, the one where the family does the funny thing".

These "Rules" aren't real, so if you think of something clever, do that instead.

What's the best Simpson merch you own? What's the worst? (lemm.ee)

I wonder if someone has ever tried to catalog all of the show-related merchandise created over the years. I was in a comics store recently and saw they had lots of "collectible" figurines for like Fat Tony and "I am evil Homer" Homer.

So tell us -- what's the best merch you've got?

What's the worst / most cheesiest / crass thing you have?

If you don't have anything, feel free to use examples from the show itself. Maybe a nice candy dish or tie rack.

My best is the 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle with a couple hundred characters in the image. I pull it out once a year and build it again 'cause I love it that much.

My worst is a video game from the late 80s called Bart's House of Weirdness because I don't have a way to play it any longer, but it's still stored away in my basement.

I have a Homer clock that would say a Homer quote every hour. My grandpa got it for me at a garage sale so it meant a lot that he remembered something I liked. Since he said the same unique quote for every hour, I could tell what time it was based on the quote.

Unfortunately I had to put the clock in storage since it stopped working. The second hand kept getting stuck, even with new batteries.

I also have a pair of Homer slippers. I wore the hell out of them in college. I had to buy a new pair recently because of how worn out they were.

The clock sounds neat, and like the kind of thing I'd still display even after it broke.
