Jesus that was so good. Just joke after joke after joke.
The utter irrelevance of the coaster and the one paper ball from the trash.
To the radically absurd and literal assault of playing Mr. Burns' head like a bongo.
Then Homer's ungratefulness for 8 years of steady employment.
And the literal and symbolic burning of one's bridges as they left.
It was just ridiculously good. Fucking fantastic writing.

The Simpsons are better written than Christian scriptures which are among the stupidest in the world.
Begat begat begat, bears mauling boys, eating children and cooking food over poop.
Versus that Simpsons clip which was just one fantastic joke after another.
Of course The Simpsons is more important than Christianity.
The Jews picked up stones again to stone Him. Jesus answered them, “I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?” (John 10:31-32)
Dude claims to be the Son of God.
Mob of Jews surrounds him and picks up stones to pulverize him with.
Jesus looks around like, "Okay guys, I see you're pretty upset about me saying I'm one with the Father. So which miracle I did was it?"
That's funny shit.
That is so funny.
But I must note that it's funniness is Godelian and undecidable.
Look.
Either "So which miracle I did was it"... is the attitude that Jesus is oblivious to his actual blasphemy to be claiming to be God or the Son of God or the King of the Jews. And so rather than recognizing that the Jews' anger is rational given Jesus's obvious somehow blasphemy.
Obvious-somehow blasphemy.
Obvious somehow-blasphemy.
In a manner which it is impossible to determine the original Intent of the hyphenation.
Which introduces uncertainty or potentially mistakenness into Intent which actually exists.
Which contradicts ontological monism.
Which disproves theism.
Okay.
So, Jesus is either blasphemous and oblivious.... In that he fails to attribute to the Jews their righteous anger towards Jesus's obvious blasphemy... So Jesus, in a completely oblivious manner and completely conceited way.... Figures that one of his miracles was somehow offensive to Jews.
....
That is the jew-favorable interpretation i of the Joke.
Now, the actual or intended or indeed funnier interpretation of the Joke, is that my Jesus feigning empathy with the Jews's unrighteous anger, that he begins to feign that to deliver the punchline about how performance of miracles, which it is obvious that one's performance of miracles identifies one as God or the Son of God.
But I don't think that's the case at all. Because, Jews can hold that some people performed miracles, or some people were resurrected from the dead like Lazarus....
But that this does not establish Moses's identity with Yahweh.
So why should it, in the case of Jesus, establish his identity of the Son of God or God of the King of the Jews or the Messiah?
So the joke is funny ambiguous, necessarily... It is impossible to decide what the cause of the funniness of the joke is. But best bets are on sarcastic Jesus as opposed to oblivious and conceited Jesus.....
Why would Jesus deliver sarcastically the suggestion that performance of miracles is sufficient to show one's identity with the father, when he know that performance of miracles simpliciter does not establish one's identity with God, as in the case of Moses and Yahweh.
When he would know that this sarcastic responses would fall on deaf ears with the Jews, who he knows do not accept performance of miracles as proof of one's identity with God or as the Messiah.
So it's back to Jesus being oblivious and conceited, paradoxically.
