Poll of the Day > 1 million US dollars but first you have to watch 2-3 episodes of The Simpsons

(+) Yeah! (+)

You can pick any episodes you want. Personally I like the one where Kang and Kodos take control of Bill Clinton and Bob Dole's body (it's a 'treehouse of horror'-type episode), and the one where the nuclear power workers go on strike and Lisa sings 'they have the plant, but we have the power'. But you don't have to watch those if you'd rather watch other episodes. You can also fast forward or stop paying attention if you get bored.

If I watch 4-6 episodes can I get 2 million

If I can pick, absolutely.

If I'm forced to watch episodes from the last 20 seasons or so, it'd be a much harder choice.

You can pick any episodes you want. Which ones would you pick?

Back in the 90s, my Fox affiliate played an episode of the Simpsons at 5pm, 6pm, and 10pm every weekday. And Id typically watch call 3 of them.

If I got a million dollars every time I watched 2-3 episodes of the Simpsons, Id be a billionaire today.

I really like the episode where homer eats the insanity peppers and meets the space coyote voiced by Johny Cash

I like the one about steamed hams.

I would watch the one where Bart Millhouse and Martin buy Issue #1 of Radioactive Man and have to share it.

Mr Plow and the one where Springfield legalizes gambling

Would still be better than episodes of Family Guy

8 out of 9 PotDers agree: it's a great deal!

I fail to see any consequence that may ensue as a result of taking up the offer.
---

If i watch all 31 seasons in full, do i get 15m?

I forgot to mention: The TV you're watching it on is a little bit too loud and you don't have the remote, so you'll have to get up if you want to adjust the volume

That sounds like way too much TV :/ I don't want to encourage that kind of behavior.

---

2-3 episodes of a good show followed by earning 1 million? I'd do it for 10 bucks, nevermind $1,000,000.

---

That much money for something I would gladly do for free?

---

I'd just watch the first three episodes.

Please note: I've only ever seen sporadic episodes of the simpsons as I wasn't allowed to watch it growing up.

---

For one million dollars, I'd let the person paying pick the episodes even.

Could pay off the house and get it worked on, and have some left even with paying taxes on that million.

Its really funny how times have changed, huh? The Simpsons is so tame compared to a lot of other adult cartoons now, but back then, that stuff was considered soooo controversial! lol

You can watch the first three episodes if you'd like. personally, I would reccommend starting in season 2 at the earliest though -- the first season is pretty rough IMO!

Its super easy, barely an inconvenience

---

This isn't even a hard choice. Whoever is paying can even pick the episodes if they like. I can retire on 1 million dollars.

---

I'd watch the entire show for 5 bucks

I'm currently on season 26 via Disney+

---

So watch TV for a little over an hour (unless there's commercials)...yeah! I'd watch whatever almost for a million

---

I can watch the entire 20 seasons for 100k.

---

Almost anything from seasons 2 through 10; I'd pick from random and rake in the cash easy.

---

Deal. I'd watch "The Computer Wore Menace Shoes", "The Springfield Files", and "Das Bus".

---

So, here's a question. What if you don't get the money unless you watch ALL the Treehouse of Horror episodes?

---

But it makes this way more interesting. I'd have to do a think about whether or not there's any amount of money I'd take to watch Simpson Safari again, and if the relevant fraction of $15M is even in the ballpark.

You can watch all the treehouse of horror episodes if you'd like! Somebody else might prefer to watch other episodes though, or not watch so many :)

Is that supposed to be like a bad thing? The Treehouse of Horrors are always great (except I remember one being kind of bleh but I honestly dont remember which one)

---

I only watch quality content like Family Guy thank you very much.
Not even money could persuade me to watch a single episode of the Simps.
---

Any episodes I want - I'd go for it.

---

Yep! I'd watch "Trouble with the Trillions" "Million-Dollar Abie" and "The Old Man and the Lisa"

---

Three million, but you have to watch the episode called "Stark Raving Dad" on Disney plus.

---

Why would it matter which episodes are watched

---

if there was a channel that featured only The Simpsons, my tv would be tuned to it most of the time.

You might prefer some episodes over others? I think a lot of The Simpsons is really good, but there are some episodes I don't really care for. And, in my opinion, the quality has really tailed off over the past 25 years.

Its safe to say 12% of posters like to choose the option they believe will upset others.

OniRonin, well played, sir. Well played.

---

You telling me I can have a good time and get paid for it?
