I love in the episode with Smithers Sr, they tell him to "think back" and he starts in on the memory of jumping the gorge and Lisa chimes in "No, Dad, everyone's sick of that story". I never tire of the meta humor.
"Hiring the yakuza doesn't seem like something Maude Flanders and Helen Lovejoy would do" Someone clearly not watching The Simpsons closely enough, Helen Lovejoy is a menace
It’s hard to depict on The Simpsons when it comes to “going to far”, as oppose to other Adult Animated Shows, most notably Family Guy, American Dad, Archer, Rick & Morty, Aqua Teens, etc.
I haven't seen all of The Simpsons yet, but gosh, Bart jumping the gorge, also getting hated by the townsfolk, and Maude Flanders is killed off?! Those are such gobsmacking moments!
I thought I'd point with that with the Number 16 pick, it got a callback in the crossover episode with Family Guy. Peter Griffin says "We're gonna MAKE it!" with Homer's response being "Trust me, we're not". Predictably, the flying saucer they were in fell into Springfield Gorge just before it could clear the gap.
I would like to see them do more videos like that, especially for the rest of the Simpsons family. Granted, even though Homer and Bart have done some awful things and Marge and Lisa usually do their best to not do the things that Homer and Bart have done, they both still did similar things that are just as bad as what Homer and Bart have done.
The worst thing Marge did : kicking Homer out The worst things Lisa did : Kicking Bart out with a restraining order and torturing him, Ruining Homer's barbecue.
Episode 23 of season 10 is banned in Japan. And for many good reason. On top, Homer grabbing the Emperor during a sumo match and throwing Akihito in a basket full of used thongs. And this episode was also initially called Fat Man and Little Boy 😮
Hear hear! Bart's done some bad things, but he's caught more then enough flak to make him an innocent victim. No boy should have to go through the thing's he's gone through. Poor Bart.
@@Thrillseeker420 I know, and I would have attacked the mob harassing Bart if I was chief of police (even though society seems to hate cops these days)
What do you think the Simpsons would be like if these shocking moments never happened and they were a normal family? What do you think the future where the siblings are adults would be like if this happened?
Oh I'd love to see that list, Because as we all know almost if not literally everything Mordecai and Rigby ever did always unleashed a magical or supernatural force.
The whole town shaming Bart over a lost ball game was horrible. That's why I'm not a sports fan, losing just creates hate. Power to Marge for scolding the town for it, but it just didn't feel like enough punishment for the town. Poor Bart, he just cannot catch a break.
Yes, the Simpsons was good back in the past, but now we have so many seasons that it's starting to loose its comedy touch. Just like Disney is starting to loose its magic and popularity. It should've retired sooner when it had the chance.
In all the episodes showing the future, How come Lisa is the only one with the best future while Bart and Maggie are in her shadow? Honestly they deserve better with them not having the best upbringing
Definitely the episode where the whole town drove Bart insane because of a baseball game. There was absolutely no need for them to go that harsh; even by Simpsons standards. There’s an early season episode where the Simpsons are stealing cable and Lisa gets all preachy and religious. That episode helped cement her as my least favorite character in the show
This is unwatchable, every clip you pointed out is why the show is so amazing. The show is great because it’s a cartoon that connects so viscerally with actual life. In every instance the cartoon aspect takes it to the extreme but the characters motives are driven by real world conflict. Like public outrage, shame, internal conflict, etc. things we all go through. In this way Homer or Bart or Lisa or Marge are a vessel for the audience to explore and laugh about real things they might have actually dealt with in their lives. In writing the characters this way the audience will never side against the characters despite how deplorable their actions may be because the internal conflict is so relatable. Even in the episode where Homer leaves his father to die, you understand Homer as a viewer. You understand fear, you understand a complicated relationship with a family member, and you understand shame. It’s amazing writing and not to far at all.
the only one i can really refute is Maud's death as the voice actress quit so it kinda makes sense instead of trying to recast her, same with Mrs Krabapple whose voice actor passed.
I mean the thing to remember is that yes, it may push the envelope, but it seems like a lot of the edgier moments are within today's standards. More often than not, the dark tone is to give us a sense of moral for the character to learn from. Not only that, but a lot of it is actually really funny.
I know it's really dark that they showed Moe coming very near to committing suicide But come on I could not help but laugh when the song that played when he was on hold with the suicide hotline actually says "suicide is painless"😂
Large marge is one of my favorite episodes. I was also disappointed when she went back to a normal flat chest at the end and im sure homer was too. I kinda expected her to keep saying my eyes are up here! 😅
Homer falling down the gorge it's one of the funniest moments in the history of television 😂. Never too far: it's funny, logical and perfectly written.
Wait a second... I haven't watch Simpsons in a long long time since it got bad, but I now I know Number 1 is a Family Guy episode... Simpsons really have done everything..
"This [episode] is about a community of people who like things just the way they are. Skinner's not really close to any of these people - you know, he's mostly a minor character in their lives - but they get upset when someone comes in and says, 'This is not really the way things are', and they run the messenger out of town on the rail. When the episode aired, lo and behold, a community of people who like things just the way they are got mad. It never seems to have occurred to anyone that this episode is about the people who hate it." -Ken Keeler writer of The Principal and the Pauper
Is Lisa the worst sister since she either doesn't accept or sabotaging her siblings on what they're good at which she fears would outshine her like Bart drumming and Maggie being somewhat smarter?
I wouldn’t say that she’s the worst, as her being smart and being a musician has been her main traits since the first season so having one of her siblings suddenly outshining her at the things that make her unique leading to her acting out doesn’t seem overly unrealistic
Personally, I think you should have added the episode in which Apu had an affair. I found that wrong for soooooo many reasons. And every time it was mentioned it made me want to... 🤢. I could totally relate to Homer that one time.
I'm from Brazil and trust me, the only wrong thing about that Simpsons' episode was the monkeys on streets and rats, we don't have those walking freely. But the rest, especially today, are very accurate
that is what humour partly is about taking it far enough. most of the times they just got so way far, where it just gets stupid. and you often see where they try too play it somewhat serious..
I don't know why people keep comparing this to Family Guy, South Park, etc. It's pushing "too far" because this show's NOT like those and doesn't need to be.
The only scene I was able to stomach for a bit was that musical number in the episode "Saddlesore Galactica." Then seeing Homer getting out of that secret door, wondering if what he witnessed was real or all a dream. Till one of the elves popped up to respond that it was clearly not the latter. The ending of that scene was more humorous than anything. Homer: Was it real? Or was it just a wonderful dream? Elf: No dream! Lose the race, Fatboy!!!
7:05 the point of the episode where Bart plays little league was that public ridicule often goes too far and using Bart an innocent child to depict that only amplifies how ridiculous public outrage often is. You dullards missed that one by a mile.
A dude who pumps fish....... You started it all with a dude who pumps fish..... yeeeeeeeea......... Ummmmm a fishy fondler ....... Uhhh that is...... Hmmmm right on and righteous brother.... I suppose lol ...... Yup yup that is a bit too far
Because women doing that is considered funny, comedic, even socially acceptable. A man doing the same thing is committing rape. Since society in general can’t see women as rapists this joke is considered perfectly fine.
@@justapeacefulmanwhosbornin7291 I don’t like the scene either just pointing out why something like that would get done. It’s shameful that men are the butt off so many jokes, especially dads, yet tell even a mild joke about a woman it’s as if you went to Xi jinping and made a stereotypical Chinese joke. WWIII level stuff. I’m not saying we should have jokes about raping women or homer raping marge but if we’re enlightened enough to know those kind of jokes are bad why aren’t we enlightened enough to know that the ones where men are raped are bad too????
@@justapeacefulmanwhosbornin7291 a damn crappy one. We’ve learned to respect women but in doing so we forgot how to respect men. We live in a society that has been sold the falsehood of either men and dads rule and thus women and moms are second class OR women and moms rule and men and dads are second class. We can’t seem to agree to both being FIRST class. A society that divides people into smaller groups rather than uniting them is not a society that will last.
Mr. Burns stepping on everyone is the literal point of the only two-parter in show history. That’s why he got shot halfway through. That’s not so much the show going too far as providing one of the most iconic moments in show history.

Moe near suicides
None. Because as an adult I can recognize that it's a product of its time, and satire or parody of other movies/shows/real situations.
Lame!! None of those went too far….
Actually “Marge’s Breast Implants” Is Definitely Not A Moment Went To Far Cause It’s Really Impassive :-)👩🏻🦰
The Simpsons’ trip to New York City is living proof of my hatred of Homer.
The best part of Homer trying to jump the gorge is when the ambulance hit a tree and he fell all the way back down again
Whats even more funnier is that the simpsons movie kept it in and it can be seen after the dome is shattered in the end lol
It's amazing he survived after all that.
I love in the episode with Smithers Sr, they tell him to "think back" and he starts in on the memory of jumping the gorge and Lisa chimes in "No, Dad, everyone's sick of that story". I never tire of the meta humor.
@@dreamguardian8320 It's still a cartoon and they don't have to be realistic, as Lisa mentioned in one episode. 😁
@@Crazyladuda Oh, I didn't notice the ambulance in the movie.
The breast implant episode had so many good one liners. "Hey Marge, let's go out to dinner tonight. Just you, me, the kids, and the twins!"
You can tell that it had "The Writer's barely disguised fetish"
It’s the simpsons
@@Nathangames4 I also did an edit of Marge Simpson as Lady Dimitrescu (Resident Evil Village)
South Park and Boondocks makes this show so tame and family friendly
I agree
That's... because it is and never was trying to be anything else?
Writers of the early seasons were able to pull off shocking moments with humor. Later seasons just try to use shock humor
Actually, later seasons don’t use humor at all.
@@COMPFUNK2or over the top.😊
"Hiring the yakuza doesn't seem like something Maude Flanders and Helen Lovejoy would do"
Someone clearly not watching The Simpsons closely enough, Helen Lovejoy is a menace
“Large Marge” is also one of my personal favorite episodes.

I'm surprised they didn't mention literally every Itchy and Scratchy episode.
I always loved how Marge's breast implants is considered to be one of the most notorious episodes in the entire Simpsons series!!!
I even made an edit of Marge as Lady Dimitrescu

Can you do top 10 worst things Marge and Lisa Simpson has done which makes them as bad as the rest of their family?
I would like to see them do more videos like that, especially for the rest of the Simpsons family. Granted, even though Homer and Bart have done some awful things and Marge and Lisa usually do their best to not do the things that Homer and Bart have done, they both still did similar things that are just as bad as what Homer and Bart have done.
MARGE SIMPSON BOOB SERIOUSLY SEXUAL
The worst thing Marge did : kicking Homer out
The worst things Lisa did : Kicking Bart out with a restraining order and torturing him, Ruining Homer's barbecue.
@markofthewolvessucks8930 the worst thing marge did was the #1 on this list
What do you think Flanders would be like if he never lost Maud while Edna ended up with Skinner?
As funny as this show was it did have some questionable jokes sometimes
Episode 23 of season 10 is banned in Japan. And for many good reason. On top, Homer grabbing the Emperor during a sumo match and throwing Akihito in a basket full of used thongs. And this episode was also initially called Fat Man and Little Boy 😮
I can't believe you don't even mention that time Homer framed Marge for drunk driving.
Bodybuilding Marge is one of my favorite episodes actually 😁😍
The dead body is only 19th place?!
I was so terrified that I actually thought the body was gonna come out of the corner of almost every corridor!
I had a feeling that Marge forcing herself on Homer from the Season 14 episode The Strong Arms Of The Ma would be number 1.
The funny thing is Family Guy did a similar joke 2 years prior to that episode except Lois got into martial arts instead of weightlifting.
@@Solh0und That reminds me of the scene in Family Guy where Peter Griffin explains to Homer that he got to the joke on messing up TV
Marge: *Gets implants*
Titania: Finally, a worthy opponent. Our battle will be LEGENDARY!
Shaming Bart over a bad pitch was too far. If I was Bart's neighbor and friend, I would gladly sacrifice my freedom just to make the mob go away
Art imitates life...
Hear hear! Bart's done some bad things, but he's caught more then enough flak to make him an innocent victim. No boy should have to go through the thing's he's gone through. Poor Bart.
Reminds me of that episode in Family Guy where Brian gives a bad comment about a movie and an angry mob terrorizes him and his family.
@@Thrillseeker420 I know, and I would have attacked the mob harassing Bart if I was chief of police (even though society seems to hate cops these days)
@@dreamguardian8320 I know, though different, both groups are criminals in their own ways

We still 💛 ‘The Simpsons.’
Yes yes we do

Next: top 20 worst Simpsons episodes
I love the Simpsons back when it was awesome and on point so from the start to like season 20
Nah
It fells down even before that like S15
Yes, the Simpsons was good back in the past, but now we have so many seasons that it's starting to loose its comedy touch. Just like Disney is starting to loose its magic and popularity. It should've retired sooner when it had the chance.
Nothing wrong with Marge’s big baps. We WANTED the big baps 😂
Number 7: It was shocking to see the two characters change personalities in the episode. Lisa wants to keep the secret while Bart wants to confess.
In all the episodes showing the future, How come Lisa is the only one with the best future while Bart and Maggie are in her shadow? Honestly they deserve better with them not having the best upbringing
Amen to that!
Because despite her being detestable the writers seem to adore Lisa
Definitely the episode where the whole town drove Bart insane because of a baseball game. There was absolutely no need for them to go that harsh; even by Simpsons standards.
There’s an early season episode where the Simpsons are stealing cable and Lisa gets all preachy and religious. That episode helped cement her as my least favorite character in the show
In 10-15 years, The Simpsons will become completely unwatchable.

There were dozens even hundreds of times the simpsons went too far!!!
I think that Marge not taking no for an answer is the number 1 time the Simpsons went too far.
Always brighten my days, greetings from Ecuador
Marge's ''magumbos'' did give us a lot of solid Rule 34 art
To lighten the mood…
Homer’s Phobia is my all time favorite.
the only one i can really refute is Maud's death as the voice actress quit so it kinda makes sense instead of trying to recast her, same with Mrs Krabapple whose voice actor passed.
If you offend at least one person , you've done your job right
Homer's enemy is the best Simpsons episode.
Also RIP Phil Hartman (voice of Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz)
I know there is no shortage of Simpsons episode that are bad but the Boys of Bummer is arugably the worst
Mr. Burns did something bad? I am shocked! So out of character...
Getting offended over singing jockey elves... Yeah, im done with Watchmojo
Most of these moments aren't disturbing if you have even a little sense of humor. The jocky moment especially is meant to be A JOKE for gosh sake 🙄
RIP Marcia Wallace (voice of Edna Krabappel) and Russi Taylor (voice of Martin Prince)
I mean the thing to remember is that yes, it may push the envelope, but it seems like a lot of the edgier moments are within today's standards. More often than not, the dark tone is to give us a sense of moral for the character to learn from. Not only that, but a lot of it is actually really funny.

I love how you say struggle for the jockys lol
They didn't kill Maude to "spice things up" her voice actor quit the show because of travel issues and so they had to do something.
I actually like the Smithers sr episode, it was a nice mystery.
Goldilocks getting slowly eaten alive by the 3 bears whilst screaming for help behind a locked door.
Yup i remember when Homer found Waylon Smitters Sr
Homer Strangling Bart is way too far
No such thing as the Simpsons going to far. Marge's breast implants was one of the funniest episodes ever. Lighten up.
Never seen and not interested in Boondocks, and I LOATHE South Park
I find it hilarious that Frank Grimes’ last words were “I’m Homer Simpson” 😂
Large marge is one of my favorite episodes. I was also disappointed when she went back to a normal flat chest at the end and im sure homer was too.

Killing Maude off cuz the voice actress wanted more money to travel to Los Angeles from where she lived was legitimately so fucking petty
I honestly thought you'd put Maude's death at the top like you'd normally do

How bad is the Simpsons compared to Family Guy involving the families and the people who they're associated with?
Simpsons have never ‘gone too far’. They need to go even further. It’s satire. That’s the whole point. Plus you never admit to committing murder.
Which one of the Simpsons do you think has the most common sense with no devastating flaws?
What about Burn's wardrobe made out of various animal skins? That little musical number was quite funny.
I like large Marge
How exactly is Homer jumping the gorge on this list.

Shockingly, the muscle bound Marge violated her husband after said “no” to her.
