"Homer³" is, frankly, an iconic moment in animation. CGI was still really new, this episode actually came out only one month before Toy Story hit theaters. Imagine back in the 90's when CGI was still really primitive and nobody had really seen something on that level yet, hell it still looks good today and back then it was way better than any video game. I remember the next day at school everyone was talking about how mind-blowing it was.
"Marge, dear, would you kindly pass me a doughnut?" "Doughnut? What's a doughnut?" *Homer screams in terror and runs downstairs. Outside doughnuts fall from the sky* "Oh dear, it's raining again!" Best moment EVER 😂😂😂
Clown Without Pity Retailer- that doll is cursed Homer- that’s bad Retailer- but it comes with a free frogurt Homer- That’s good! Retailer- The frogurt is also cursed Homer- That’s bad Retailer- But it comes with your choice of topping Homer- That’s good! Retailer- but the toppings are filled with potassium benzoate *homer is confused* Retailer- that’s bad Homer- Can I go now
Oh god so many creepy moments from that show to pick from that show it'd sure be a tough list to narrow down. The one that stands out most that I remember is the eerie "return the slab" guy, but yeah I reckon it could be quite fun re-watching the courage series again!
@@SteveReviews So many memories from that show "Freaky Fred" stands out in my opinion as the most uncomfortable, cringey and disturbing episode of them all. I look forward for your next video.
Id say the creepiest one is the last episode where there's an eerie cg face and it whispers "Nobody's perfect" This was super upsetting for me as a child. Scared the bejesus outta me then and I still get nightmares about it to this day.
There's something viscerally terrifying in it, especially if you're a kid. Not for the gore itself, but the fact school itself is a stressful environment for some children, where some grown-ups can scare you and some schoolmates can bully you. The feeling that it is a place from which your parents cannot, or would not, save you from it, is what further drives it home. In the episode, Bart and Lisa tell their mom Marge about it, but she angrily shoots them down, saying that 'she cannot solve all of their problems' and that 'she should look at them in their faces and tell them "Do not eat me" '. I know it is meant to be something silly to justify the horror episode, but a kid doesn't know if their parent will save them from everything. Combine the frightening scenario of a school and its grown ups as it is, the gore and cannibalism of this episode played for horror, and the child fear of your parents not being there to help you when you're defenseless, and that shit scars. 90's cartoons did not fuck around.
To me, the only ToF skit that scared me more than Nightmare Cafeteria was the one where the nuclear plant explodes. That's only because of the moment where Homer's face melts off.
Whell it's time to either move out of that house built over a indian burial ground or get a new toaster and through away that doll this coment might be a R/woosh but still
One of my favorite Halloween shorts was 'The Raven'. James Earl Jones narrating the story, with Homer as the lonely inhabitant, and Bart as the Raven itself - perfection!
That's right. Lisa was telling the doll story. Grampa was telling the King Homer story and Bart was telling the zombie story. Homer was trying to tell a scary story before Grandpa but he got mixed up at whether the husband went golfing or bowling all the time.
The best part of treehouse V for me is the following: I've got a *GUT* feeling Üters around here somewhere, after all. Isn't there a little *Üter, in all of us?*. In fact, you could say we just *ATE ÜTER, and he's in our stomachs right now*. Wait. Scratch that last part" Every damn time, it always cracks me up, just the level Skinner has gone to for his puns, so far that he doesn't care about what he says, is just. Perfect.
11:51 Lisa:Bart don't you realize what this means?! the next time you fall asleep you could die! Grandpa:Eh! Welcome to my world! *sleeps like a champ*
Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if there's also something in there that pretty much roasts the other side of the same coin. (Hah! Get it? Because hellfire.) Maybe a bigot that gets possessed and turned into a hellspawn, himself? Or probably someone exploiting the panic for their own gain, kind of like what MOST politians that appeal to any extreme nationalist or xenophobic ideals pretty much do. >coughs and looks at elephant in the room
The reason why the scene where monty more gets eaten by slithers got cut out in some parts of the uk is because they think it has something to do with vore and cannibalism.
Ugh. Mainstream vore is fucking CANCER. If that's so then they need to go after many cartoons because there's so much of this retarded shit in cartoons. Especially now a days.
@@Brodio it was introduced as a imaginative fetish of eating other species (male or female) for the sake of getting aroused, but i don't get it why it's even that great, it disgusts me a lot to think about it.
Treehouse of Horror 1 in S2 is the best, in my opinion. You've got a classic Twilight Zone sci-fi/horror parody of "To Serve Man", a haunted house/poltergeist short that has some of the best creepy imagery in the entire show, and the Raven, a seriously well executed take on the raven, using almost all real text from the poem. But funny and creepy at the same time! Then Homer's reaction after hearing it, the terror in him. It's so good. It's the episode that introduced the concept, and people liked it so much they decided to make it a yearly thing. Also kinda shocked you left off the S8 episode, with Bart's "evil" twin, the genesis tub and the Kang/Kodos 96' election episode. None of those were bad either! Just my 2c though. I did like your picks.
I agreed with this mostly, but I would of liked to have seen I or II on here since I have quite a soft spot for them. In II I love lisa’s and bart’s nightmares (especially barts) and thought homer’s was okay. As for I, I love all 3. The first one is a hilarious parody of haunted house films that had me in stiches. The second one (the best imo) is an absolute classic. It’s a parody of an alien abduction story and I love how ridiculous it gets when they blow more and more dust of the book to reveal what it actually says. And the twist that the aliens were genuinely nice was just brilliant. And then the final retelling of the poem the raven was spot on with the right amount of dramatic poetry performance interlaced with comedy. And the ending is absolutely chilling.
Actually, Clown Without Pity is a parody of a Twilight Zone episode. So is Homer3. I'd recommend giving the series a watch. It's on Hulu and Netflix. I'd recommend starting with the episode "It's a Good Life"
God I love the Treehouse of Horror episodes. Growing up, it was the Halloween and Christmas episodes that I loved the most. ToH always terrified me as a kid but it was one of those things where you were creeped out but couldn't look away. It's hilarious, it's clever and it's gruesome and to this day, my sister and I can still quote these episodes line for line. Everythin a kid wanted especially if you were interested in spooky stuff Homer 3D is my personal favourite, it was the last Simpsons episode I saw before going on holiday so for the whole time, I was wondering if Homer ever made it back to his old world or if he was trapped in our world.
Actually I live in the UK and sadly, Jeremy Kyle Show was permanently cancelled due to someone on the show had killed them self a week after they were on
As a long-hair guy, "Hell Toupee" is probably for me the scariest of the Treehouse of Horror episodes. The thought of hair invading my brain is actually a super scary one and of all the Treehouse of Horror stories, I find that to be the most frightening concept-wise.
"This truly is a disturbing universe." I think my favorite bit from THV is the fact that Willy gets stabbed by an axe in the back in all three segments, and by the third one he bluntly says, "I'm bad at this."
Treehouse of Horror III, Homer was not depicted as telling the Krusty doll story, he was depicted as trying to tell a lame story about a ghostly wife AFTER Lisa had finished telling the doll story. Abe tells him - "I've coughed up scarier stuff than that (Homer's ghost wife story)."
The Shinning is the perfect mini-episode. There is almost always a joke, and all of them land. The animation is near-perfect. Every actor gives an amazing performance. And the ending is just priceless not only because Homer becomes murderous again at the last second, but because they just decide to randomly dunk on the Tony Awards, playing the same song the family sings when inside out at the end.
Fun fact, Hell Toupee is an homage to one of the classic Twilight Zone episodes Dead Man's Shoes. And speaking of homages to classic Twilight Zone Episodes, Homer Cubed is based off of the episode Little Girl Lost. Loved the soundtrack in this Simpsons episode. Hauntingly beautiful.
My favorite Treehouse of Horror segments (Using one per episode) are: -Either The Shinning or Time and Punishment (Treehouse of Horror V) -Nightmare on Evergreen Terrace (Treehouse of Horror VI) -Citizen Kang (Treehouse of Horror VII) -The Terror of Tiny Toon (Treehouse of Horror IX) -Night of the Dolphin (Treehouse of Horror XI) -In the Belly of the Boss (Treehouse of Horror XV) -It's the Grand Pumpkin, Milhouse (Treehouse of Horror XIX) -Oh, the Places You'll D'oh! (Treehouse of Horror XXIV)
Fun fact, the classical music in Homer Cubed is taken from the Myst soundtrack - to which the marble building he sees just before hand is also a reference.
Terror of Tiny Toon is one of my favorite shorts. I especially love the part when Krusty says "Tonight, I'm going to suck..." then there's a pause "your blood."
Treehouse of Horror III is a personal favorite of mine, and I understand the narrative at 8:41. Lisa finished her story, and while on commercials, Homer is telling his story. From what I interpreted from what he was talking about, it sounded like he was talking about the Flintstones. Anyway, it was just an attempt to change the story from one character to another.
It's a shame that on your number one spot you didn't mention how it is awesome that each short is linked by groundskeeper Willie where is tires to save someone in each short but ends up getting killed in each one, ending with him saying "I'm bad at this." That's the bit I love the most 😂
I always felt bad for willie in those..same for the homer badman ending episode...like damn son...funny cause he has such a good joke in the dial z for zombies segment..there pretty as a picture ..arugh zombies...there pretty as a picture...ring any bells?..but to be fair in nightmare on evergreen terrace he got his revenge...I love when he loses his shoe chasing the bus at the end..lols
I hope you'll be looking at the Watership Down remake that's coming up. It's said to be less visually intense, which I personally think will take away from the dark, thought-provoking aspect of the story. Yes, the 70s movie was very disturbing, but when we tell stories about the viciousness of nature (Watership Down) and the horrifying reality of animal cruelty (Plague Dogs), you should be disturbed. Every kid should watch at least one realistic and/or brutal "family" show with their parents, even if it scares them. It's important to encourage discussion about difficult subjects. Naturally, the violence in Watership Down definitely deserved a PG rating. It's not a film to chuck your 8 year old in front of by themself; it's something to watch with them once you feel they're at the right age to understand it. I'd be interested to hear your opinion on the remake's tamer approach and how effective it is not only as an adaptation of the novel but also how it stands up against the 70s film. (I'm personally intrigued though reckon it'll be good, especially looking at the cast - the 3D cgi style looks boring to me though, as I love the watercolour look of the original film)
Anyone else recognize Laura Powers in the background of Wiz Kids from the episode New Kids on the Block? also the part where Homer is telling a story after Clown without pity is a jump to after Lisa finished telling hers because Homer was telling a different story altogether.
Fun fact, the reason they were able to get the Godzilla scream for the Lard Lad is because well...they didn't ask for permission first. When Matt Groening tried to get permission for a diff, later episode, he was turned down.
We sell forbidden objects from places men fear to tread. We also sell frozen yogurt, which I call "Frogurt"! That scene is the best from any tree house of horror episode 👌🏻😂❤
My personal favorites 1. Treehouse of Horror V - The Shinning, Time and Punishment, and Nightmare Cafeteria 2. Treehouse of Horror III - Clown Without Pity, King Homer, and Dial Z for Zombies 3. Treehouse of Horror VIII - The Homega Man, Fly Vs Fly, and Easy Bake Coven 4. Treehouse of Horror IX - Hell Toupee, The Terror of Tiny Toon, Spaceship Poopers 5. Treehouse of Horror IV - The Devil and Homer Simpson, Terror at 5 1/2 Feet, and Bart Simpson's Dracula Honorable mentions Treehouse of Horror XVI - B.I Bartificial Intelligence, Survival of the Fattest, I've Grown a Costume on Your Face Treehouse of Horror VI - Attack of the 50ft Eyesores, Nightmare on Evergreen Terrance, and Homer³ Treehouse of Horror VII - The Thing and I, The Genesis Tub, and Citizen Kang
In english class, our teacher showed us that time traveling toaster one because she said it was similar to a short story called Sound of Thunder. Its about hunters being able to time travel back in time but are given very specific instructions, and if they break them it could affect the future.
Usually top five lists leave me in a frothing rage but this one, good sir, is dead on. Nothing beats The Shinning/Time Travelling Toaster episode (except THE greatest Simpsons episode ever - You Only Move Twice (Hank Skorpio))
Man... Seeing someone mention Homer Cubed brings up some Fond Childhood Memories for me, one of my favorite things as a kid was insisting there was a Secret Dimension behind one of the bookshelves, hehe
The final one was my only treehouse of horror episode I had and my favourite joke was Willy constantly getting axed in the back In the first part homer axes him in the back as a parody of when Jack Torrance kills the caretaker in the original. In the second one homer after altering time again opens the door to see Willy saying how he’s not in his original time and he can help him only to be axed in the back by a talking Maggie. And in the third one when the kids are running from the teachers Willy who is the only one who hasn’t been eating the children rushes to save them but gets axed in the back by Skinner and then says “uhk am bad at this” before collapsing. I loved this special and your videos
"Nightmare On Evergreen Terrace" is my all-time favorite. I love it because it's a great parody of "Nightmare On Elm Street" and I've been a huge "Nightmare On Elm Street" fan for years.
I love their omage to The Shinning especially Kubrick's version, Homer 3 it was a classic Twilight Zone episode mixed with it's great 3D animation with music, and their rendition to Nightmare on Elm Street
My favorite moment in any short is in Dial Z for zombie where homer tries to sacrifice himself but the zombies stop after tapping on his head and hears it's empty.
Obviously I'm a bit late to the party on this one, but regardless, great video. Choosing "The Best" TOH episode "overall" allowing for individual weaker segments has always been a really tricky one. Personally, my all-time "overall" favourite is a far less common choice - 'Treehouse of Horror II'. Three AWESOME segments (without official titles, I believe) - The Monkey Paw, Omnipotent Bart, and Mr. Burns stealing Homer's body to become a robot. Each solid, overlooked entries and - after the decent but "finding it's way" original TOH, really setting the template and showing what the format could do. TOTIII comes in a close second - again 'Clown Without Pity' and 'Dial "Z" For Zombies' are classics, but personally I always felt 'King Homer' wasn't quite as strong (hey, to each their own). Conversely, TOT5 regularly seems to be voted a favourite by many, but whilst 'Time and Punishment is one of my favourite individual TOH segments... I'm a very weird breed in that 'The Shinning' and ''Nightmare Cafeteria', which good, have never been personal favourites of mine.
One THOF short I remember is where Homer hears of a place made out of candy and embarks on a journey to the place, later he tries to take a short cut across mountains, slips and gets his arm caught between a rock and is stuck in a valley. He then tries to eat his arm off but eats his other limbs but the trapped one. Clearly a parody of James Franco's 127 Hours
15:59 I saw this when it was first aired. And I recall no cutaway from the scene where Milhouse falls into the giant blender. This was the episode that truly scared the living shit out of me as a child and it made me terrified of seeing blood and gore. After seeing this episode and the fog, I had to turn the channel whenever an Itchy and Scratchy cartoon would appear in an episode. I laugh at it now as this is the type of shit I enjoy. But needless to say, I won't see this episode as anything else except the terrifying memories I had of it as a child.
Clown Without Pity is based more on the Twilight Zone episode "Living Doll." Chucky was out to kill anyone who got in his way of possessing Andy, while Talking Tina was specifically out to get the father, like Krusty.
fun fact about treehouse of horror 5, WIllie gets axed in the back in all 3 shorts
man do i envy him
"Urgh, I'm bad at this"
This is indeed a disturbing universe.
And now Apu been axed... On every episode from now on..
Big Trebuchet the best joke in the episode.
"There goes the last shred of my heterosexuality"
Holy shit they actually planned Patty to be gay THAT long ago?
Apparently even her voice tried to make her more butch than her sister
They also hinted at that in the burlesque house episode, when Marge showed photos of people leaving the place.
John Porteous the level of how much I relate to patty with this is sad
@Stormrage No, the term Gay is also correct. Granted it is synonymous with Men, it is correct to also use it in directly towards woman.
@Stormrage it's the same thing

I like how homer is using a model 1887 shotgun in that one
In all fairness, if Ned asked to chew his ear, Homer probably would shoot him
"Marge, dear, would you kindly pass me a doughnut?"
"Doughnut? What's a doughnut?"
*Homer screams in terror and runs downstairs. Outside doughnuts fall from the sky*
"Oh dear, it's raining again!"
Best moment EVER 😂😂😂

Hey Steve you should narrow down "Courage the Cowardly Dog" best episodes or the most terrifying moments. Great video by the way.
Oh god so many creepy moments from that show to pick from that show it'd sure be a tough list to narrow down. The one that stands out most that I remember is the eerie "return the slab" guy, but yeah I reckon it could be quite fun re-watching the courage series again!

15:59 I think we all remember that episode...
It honestly scared the shit out of me when I was a kid...
I think it got worse to me when I got older
I didn't understand what all that stuff meant as a kid, now I do and it fucking terrifies me
Not me. Its was a dream. But the idea Uter didn't come back a while was creppy. I was glad when he finally came back in a cameo

One of my favorite jokes
One of my favorite Halloween shorts was 'The Raven'. James Earl Jones narrating the story, with Homer as the lonely inhabitant, and Bart as the Raven itself - perfection!
definitely a top 5 short
James Earl Jones: "Quoth the Raven..."
Bart: "Eat My Shorts." 😂
Homer wasn't telling the doll story. He was telling a different story.
That's right. Lisa was telling the doll story. Grampa was telling the King Homer story and Bart was telling the zombie story. Homer was trying to tell a scary story before Grandpa but he got mixed up at whether the husband went golfing or bowling all the time.

Every damn time, it always cracks me up, just the level Skinner has gone to for his puns, so far that he doesn't care about what he says, is just. Perfect.
I’d have put Treehouse of Horror IV on here.
The Devil and Homer Simpson, as well as Bart’s Dracula could easily push it onto this list in my opinion.
The Gremlin is my favorite

Actually, Clown Without Pity is a parody of a Twilight Zone episode. So is Homer3. I'd recommend giving the series a watch. It's on Hulu and Netflix. I'd recommend starting with the episode "It's a Good Life"
It's a Good Life was parodied in Treehouse of Horror 2.

Actually I live in the UK and sadly, Jeremy Kyle Show was permanently cancelled due to someone on the show had killed them self a week after they were on
08:40 its quite obvious homer is telling a different story that was cut for commercial and wasn't animated.
I reckon the reason that Homer's story wasn't animated because he was doing such a poor job that the kids were looking bored.
Jill Sandwich I thought he just got bored of Lisa and took over
Clown Without Pity has my favorite Homer quote.
"Marge, the doll's trying to kill me and the toaster's been laughing at me!"
As a long-hair guy, "Hell Toupee" is probably for me the scariest of the Treehouse of Horror episodes. The thought of hair invading my brain is actually a super scary one and of all the Treehouse of Horror stories, I find that to be the most frightening concept-wise.
Number one was my favorite and it was not a chucky parody it was a parody of the twilight zone episode talking tena
It’s actually called Living Doll and the doll in that episode is Talking Tina
NIGHT WOLF my favourite was II and it was one of my favourites of S3
How do u not have 1,000,000 subs!!!
Love your videos dude, great job, just subbed
8:35
That's not a Mistake. Homer is telling a completely different story in that scene. He's telling the story of a Dead wife attacking her husband.
Might you cover your favourite episodes (if you had to choose) of the 'modern' Simpsons at some point?
My favourite segment/mini episode was You Got To Know When to Golem (the one with the golem of Prague)
"Not 'kick Homer's walls'!"
"This truly is a disturbing universe."
I think my favorite bit from THV is the fact that Willy gets stabbed by an axe in the back in all three segments, and by the third one he bluntly says, "I'm bad at this."
Treehouse of Horror III, Homer was not depicted as telling the Krusty doll story, he was depicted as trying to tell a lame story about a ghostly wife AFTER Lisa had finished telling the doll story. Abe tells him - "I've coughed up scarier stuff than that (Homer's ghost wife story)."
8:25 the Simpsons writers used to be so good at writing gay characters
And now, it's shitty 'representation.'
The Shinning is the perfect mini-episode. There is almost always a joke, and all of them land. The animation is near-perfect. Every actor gives an amazing performance. And the ending is just priceless not only because Homer becomes murderous again at the last second, but because they just decide to randomly dunk on the Tony Awards, playing the same song the family sings when inside out at the end.

I remember that time travel episode and the ending where Homer is back a final time and goes postal. Completely hilarious on an epic level. Fabulous!
4:13 Isn’t it obvious? the Uk censors can’t handle vore.
YOU DEGENERATE HOW DARE YOU BE RIGHT
Kelsey Grammer = Sideshow Bob, David Hyde Pierce = Brother Cecil
Throw to the Fraser programme
OK so then what are your top five shorts period?
Cuz the Raven is hands down one of my favorite Simpsons moments, period.
You know you’ve made a good show when you can say that one of your highest-rated specials is about a time traveling toaster.
Great list bro, I remember everyone and it makes me wanna watch some of classic episodes again.
Nightmare Cafeteria is the episode I remember the most, and is probably my favorite tree house of horror episode.
I honestly think this guy deserves more support. I shared your video on Twitter and Facebook Steve Reviews.
Fun fact, the classical music in Homer Cubed is taken from the Myst soundtrack - to which the marble building he sees just before hand is also a reference.
Terror of Tiny Toon is one of my favorite shorts. I especially love the part when Krusty says "Tonight, I'm going to suck..." then there's a pause "your blood."
Treehouse of Horror III is a personal favorite of mine, and I understand the narrative at 8:41. Lisa finished her story, and while on commercials, Homer is telling his story. From what I interpreted from what he was talking about, it sounded like he was talking about the Flintstones. Anyway, it was just an attempt to change the story from one character to another.
It's a shame that on your number one spot you didn't mention how it is awesome that each short is linked by groundskeeper Willie where is tires to save someone in each short but ends up getting killed in each one, ending with him saying "I'm bad at this."
That's the bit I love the most 😂
I always felt bad for willie in those..same for the homer badman ending episode...like damn son...funny cause he has such a good joke in the dial z for zombies segment..there pretty as a picture ..arugh zombies...there pretty as a picture...ring any bells?..but to be fair in nightmare on evergreen terrace he got his revenge...I love when he loses his shoe chasing the bus at the end..lols
@@razkable arrgh I left me gun on the seat!.... Wait here please 😂😂
The Shinning was the best ever moment in Simpsons history
I hope you'll be looking at the Watership Down remake that's coming up.
It's said to be less visually intense, which I personally think will take away from the dark, thought-provoking aspect of the story. Yes, the 70s movie was very disturbing, but when we tell stories about the viciousness of nature (Watership Down) and the horrifying reality of animal cruelty (Plague Dogs), you should be disturbed.
Every kid should watch at least one realistic and/or brutal "family" show with their parents, even if it scares them. It's important to encourage discussion about difficult subjects. Naturally, the violence in Watership Down definitely deserved a PG rating. It's not a film to chuck your 8 year old in front of by themself; it's something to watch with them once you feel they're at the right age to understand it.
I'd be interested to hear your opinion on the remake's tamer approach and how effective it is not only as an adaptation of the novel but also how it stands up against the 70s film.
(I'm personally intrigued though reckon it'll be good, especially looking at the cast - the 3D cgi style looks boring to me though, as I love the watercolour look of the original film)
Yeah I'm keeping the re-make on my radar and will definitely be looking at it when it gets released!
12:56 Fun Fact: That's actually the library from the first MYST game and even the background music is "The Last Message" from the game's soundtrack.
My favorite treehouse of horror segment is "The Raven" narrated by; James Earl Jones, from treehouse of horror #1.
Anyone else recognize Laura Powers in the background of Wiz Kids from the episode New Kids on the Block?
also the part where Homer is telling a story after Clown without pity is a jump to after Lisa finished telling hers because Homer was telling a different story altogether.
the minute you showed that "living impared" clip, my mind EMEDIETLY went to that line from Doom Eternal, cracks me up
Fun fact, the reason they were able to get the Godzilla scream for the Lard Lad is because well...they didn't ask for permission first. When Matt Groening tried to get permission for a diff, later episode, he was turned down.
“I think women and semen don’t mix”
lol, a gay joke
"We know what you think"
We sell forbidden objects from places men fear to tread. We also sell frozen yogurt, which I call "Frogurt"!
That scene is the best from any tree house of horror episode 👌🏻😂❤
14:14 speaking of The Shining, I just finished watching it a few hours ago, and it was really really good
I need to say something! Even though my favorite Simpsons episodes are the recent ones the episodes you chose are also my favorites
I love how ToH5 has the running joke of Willie taking an axe to the back.
My personal favorites
1. Treehouse of Horror V - The Shinning, Time and Punishment, and Nightmare Cafeteria
2. Treehouse of Horror III - Clown Without Pity, King Homer, and Dial Z for Zombies
3. Treehouse of Horror VIII - The Homega Man, Fly Vs Fly, and Easy Bake Coven
4. Treehouse of Horror IX - Hell Toupee, The Terror of Tiny Toon, Spaceship Poopers
5. Treehouse of Horror IV - The Devil and Homer Simpson, Terror at 5 1/2 Feet, and Bart Simpson's Dracula
Honorable mentions
Treehouse of Horror XVI - B.I Bartificial Intelligence, Survival of the Fattest, I've Grown a Costume on Your Face
Treehouse of Horror VI - Attack of the 50ft Eyesores, Nightmare on Evergreen Terrance, and Homer³
Treehouse of Horror VII - The Thing and I, The Genesis Tub, and Citizen Kang
Shh you want to get sued. That line made me laugh for 1 minute straight
Good stuff yet again
5:54
We also would’ve excepted “un-hairable”
loving the hit and run halloween level background music and always look forward to treehouse of horror every year
2:37 that guy looks like he's from the beginning of fallout for some reason
In english class, our teacher showed us that time traveling toaster one because she said it was similar to a short story called Sound of Thunder. Its about hunters being able to time travel back in time but are given very specific instructions, and if they break them it could affect the future.
Fun fact in the 50ft eyesores short brockman dies then comes back to life at the end
Usually top five lists leave me in a frothing rage but this one, good sir, is dead on. Nothing beats The Shinning/Time Travelling Toaster episode (except THE greatest Simpsons episode ever - You Only Move Twice (Hank Skorpio))
Man... Seeing someone mention Homer Cubed brings up some Fond Childhood Memories for me, one of my favorite things as a kid was insisting there was a Secret Dimension behind one of the bookshelves, hehe
Love the number one episode it’s my absolute favorite :) great list I love your top 5 videos!
11:50 I've never watched The Simpsons too much, but I choked on my laughter with my snack at this point.
7:05 And anyone expecting that to be followed up by “The Conquerer” (such as me) is in for a disappointment.
The final one was my only treehouse of horror episode I had and my favourite joke was Willy constantly getting axed in the back
In the first part homer axes him in the back as a parody of when Jack Torrance kills the caretaker in the original. In the second one homer after altering time again opens the door to see Willy saying how he’s not in his original time and he can help him only to be axed in the back by a talking Maggie. And in the third one when the kids are running from the teachers Willy who is the only one who hasn’t been eating the children rushes to save them but gets axed in the back by Skinner and then says “uhk am bad at this” before collapsing. I loved this special and your videos
11:52 I don't know what to think if it's funny or twisted.
Good choices, the 5th episode was indeed the best, the time travel always cracks me up.
"Nightmare On Evergreen Terrace" is my all-time favorite. I love it because it's a great parody of "Nightmare On Elm Street" and I've been a huge "Nightmare On Elm Street" fan for years.
martins screams get me every time..what a funny ep..
Holy crap I'm so happy I found this channel I've been binge watching these videos
I agree with your choices. I love the shining parody segment especially.
8:33 . . . . . its after the commercial break, during the commercial another story was being told we never hear.... watch it again.
I remember as a kid just constantly rewinding and watching homer's rage with the past
I love their omage to The Shinning especially Kubrick's version, Homer 3 it was a classic Twilight Zone episode mixed with it's great 3D animation with music, and their rendition to Nightmare on Elm Street
Nailed #1&2 best ones. Only one to add is the short from the first one , The Raven. Janes Earl Jones reading Poe? Yes please.
My favorite moment in any short is in Dial Z for zombie where homer tries to sacrifice himself but the zombies stop after tapping on his head and hears it's empty.
“There goes the last shred of my heterosexuality.”
😂😂SAME PATTY SAME
clown without pity is actually a nod to the twilight zone episode living doll, and homer cubed is a nod to another twilight zone episode
Obviously I'm a bit late to the party on this one, but regardless, great video. Choosing "The Best" TOH episode "overall" allowing for individual weaker segments has always been a really tricky one.
Personally, my all-time "overall" favourite is a far less common choice - 'Treehouse of Horror II'. Three AWESOME segments (without official titles, I believe) - The Monkey Paw, Omnipotent Bart, and Mr. Burns stealing Homer's body to become a robot. Each solid, overlooked entries and - after the decent but "finding it's way" original TOH, really setting the template and showing what the format could do.
TOTIII comes in a close second - again 'Clown Without Pity' and 'Dial "Z" For Zombies' are classics, but personally I always felt 'King Homer' wasn't quite as strong (hey, to each their own). Conversely, TOT5 regularly seems to be voted a favourite by many, but whilst 'Time and Punishment is one of my favourite individual TOH segments... I'm a very weird breed in that 'The Shinning' and ''Nightmare Cafeteria', which good, have never been personal favourites of mine.
One THOF short I remember is where Homer hears of a place made out of candy and embarks on a journey to the place, later he tries to take a short cut across mountains, slips and gets his arm caught between a rock and is stuck in a valley. He then tries to eat his arm off but eats his other limbs but the trapped one.
Clearly a parody of James Franco's 127 Hours
*The Shinning* is and will always be my favourite Short
+ 8:25
*There Faces Kill Me Every Time* 😂
I love the use of Hit & Run music!
The Bart and Hugo short will ALWAYS be my favourite
I completely agree with this list. I remember watching and enjoying all of these
I cannot be the only one that noticed the double meaning of "hell toupee" as in: HELL TO PAY?!?!?!?!!?
15:59 I saw this when it was first aired. And I recall no cutaway from the scene where Milhouse falls into the giant blender. This was the episode that truly scared the living shit out of me as a child and it made me terrified of seeing blood and gore. After seeing this episode and the fog, I had to turn the channel whenever an Itchy and Scratchy cartoon would appear in an episode.
I laugh at it now as this is the type of shit I enjoy. But needless to say, I won't see this episode as anything else except the terrifying memories I had of it as a child.
Homer: All work and no play make Homer something something
Marge: Go crazy?
Homer: THANKS! Don’t mind if I DO!
Clown Without Pity is based more on the Twilight Zone episode "Living Doll." Chucky was out to kill anyone who got in his way of possessing Andy, while Talking Tina was specifically out to get the father, like Krusty.
I remember having nightmares about werewolf Flanders
