Wake Up With the Simpsons Halloween Election Episode ‘America Flips a Coin’

Even if “The Simpsons IS about 20 years past its prime, the “ Treehouse of Horror” Halloween episodes sremain infinitely rewatchable.

This one is a quarter century old still stands up. Aired right before the 1996 election, if could easily be applied to the one coming up in four days. And there are just so many classic lines jammed into 1/3 of an episode.

“Please! We have reached the limits of what rectal probing can teach us!”

“I am Clin-TON. As overlord, all will kneel trembling before me and obey my brutal commands. End communication.”

“My fellow Americans, as a young boy I dreamed of being a baseball. But tonight I say, we must go forward, not backwards! Upwards, not forwards! And always twirling, twirling, TWIRLING toward freedom!”

“It doesn’t matter which of us you vote for, either way your planet is doomed! DOOMED!”

“Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others!”

 Don’t blame me, I voted for Kodos!”

It’s the perfect way to segue from the scary fun of the holiday tomorrow into the scary absolute lack of fun of Tuesday.
