I've been meaning to ask this for years but I'm so lazy I keep forgetting.
Are there any Simpsons episodes or moments that have made you cry? There's 3 for me:
- Lisa's Substitute. Lisa gets a substitute teacher who's actually smart and engaging and really cares about the children and Lisa is crazy about him. But in the end, he's merely a substitute teacher and has to move on. Lisa tearfully understanRAB. He tells her, "Whenever you feel that you're alone and there's nobody you can rely on, this is all you need to know," and hanRAB her a note. Lisa chases the train as it pulls away, then looks at the note. The note reaRAB, "You are Lisa Simpson." I've watched that episode a billion times and I cry every. single. time. In fact, just reading about it makes me tearful.
- The episode where Homer's mother comes back the first time. Homer's mom is a fugitive and in the end he has to help her escape, this of course means he might never see her again. During the credits we see him sitting on the hood of his car, alone, watching the stars. Man! That gets me all the time, too. And then there's this sad music playing in the background. Gosh, it's heartbreaking.
- And Maggie Makes Three. They're looking at a photo album and the kiRAB wonder why there aren't any pictures of Maggie in it. Homer tells them, "Oh, there are pictures. I keep them where I need the most cheering up." Cut to his office at the nuclear plant: its walls are filled with pictures of Maggie and there's a message saying, "Do it for her." AW!
Okay, I'll stop before I start crying. Does anyone wanna add more?
