Welcome everyone to the
BEST SIMPSON'S EPISODE EVER TOURNAMENT! PRESENTED BY CURRENT EVENTS!
As the first topic in this idea I've had for awhile, here is the basic groundwork.
INTRODUCTION
I looked at the Top 24 episodes of Simpsons ever, as based on user star ratings on IMDB. The list is from 2015, but I doubt anything in 2015 and beyond would belong on this list. This list has a nice little two sentence explanation of the episode if you do not have episode names memorized. In each topic I will also explain each episode that we are voting on.

Using Challong, I've created a tournament involving the Top 24 episodes of all time!

The 1-8 seeds have a bye in the first round, since that seems appropriate. Every day (or maybe twice a day depending on how 1-sided a vote gets) we will put up a new poll and see which episode out of the two is considered better. Winner moves on, loser is dropped. There will be a third place vote as well.
Let's get to it!
THE COMBATANTS!
TREEHOUSE OF HORRORS V
- The family's job at Mr. Burns' country estate goes awry when Homer goes mad; Homer's attempt to repair a toaster results in inadvertent time travel; The school staff turn cannibalistic.
vs.
KINGSIZE HOMER
- Determined to avoid a work exercise program, Homer intentionally gains weight in order to qualify for disability and work from home. However, he soon realizes that being morbidly obese comes with its own problems.
