10 The Simpsons Episodes That PISSED People Off

10. All Singing, All Dancing (S9 E12)

The Simpsons has done its fair share of clip shows in its time, and while none were well received, as no clip show should ever be, there is one that stands out above the others as particularly disappointing. In season nine, the writers not only decided against a real story, they decided to bring the dreaded clip show in song form.

In fairness, The Simpsons has featured some genuinely fantastic songs over the years, and some of the best were showcased in this episode. Baby on Board, Spring in Springfield, See My Vest, Monorail, and We Do are all more than deserving of love and acclaim, but fans didn't need to see them all one after another.

There were also several clear omissions if the writers were trying to put together the best of the musical hits from the previous nine years. Where was Talkin' Softball, Dr. Zaius, and any of the songs sung by original creation Shary Bobbins?

Even the story in between the clips was poor, as Snake tried to rob a family before bailing due to their singing, eventually coming back yet again. There isn't a single one of The Simpsons' lazy clip shows that is worth rewatching, but this one was the worst of the lot, as demonstrated by its rating of 5.0 on IMDb, placing it among the ten lowest rated episodes in the show's history.
