The episode that's the story of Maggie's birth. Decently summarizes the main cast and ends with one of the most iconic images in the series:

This is a good episode but it needs the context of the show to fully appreciate or understand it.

I thought of the funniest episodes like Marge vs the Monorail, Homer at the Bat and Homer Goes to College but I think those might be more effective if you know the show isn't always that surreal and over the top.

So I think something like Lisa the Vegetarian might be better. Something that has both the laughs and the heart.

Yeah, that's why I went with Last Exit to Springfield. I like the ones you listed more, but it's just all around a great showing for what the show is, without getting too bizarre.

It's also a good episode to explain how important continuity is on the show: it's not. It has multiple continuity errors that don't affect anything. It's better to establish that quickly.

Great episode but you'll appreciate it more when you're more familiar with the characters.

I dunno why, but "Marge vs. the Monorail" and "The Springfield Files" both come to mind, and both episodes have Leonard Nimoy guest star
