Triple M’s Definitive List Of The Top 25 Simpsons Episodes Of All Time — 5-1

Forget Trump v Biden, nothing in society has been quite as divisive as the age old question ‘what is the best Simpsons episode?’.

We figured it was time to end the debate, so we reached out to the country’s best minds to decide on a top 25 once and for all.

When they weren’t available, we settled for a few Simpsons nuffies in the office.

Join Rudi, Will and Ethan as they count down the top 5 today, including some angry candy conventioneers, a super villain seizing the East Coast, a trip to Australia, Sideshow Bob’s rendition of the score from HMS Pinafore, and an ill-fated light rail system.
