The Simpsons: Every Treehouse Of Horror Ranked Worst To Best

27. XVII. Married To The Blob; You Gotta Know When To Golem; The Day The Earth Looked Stupid

There are no flatly BAD Treehouse episodes, but they aren't all equally brilliant. The unfortunate honour of coming last goes to number 17, which opens with Homer becoming an amorphous cannibal monster on the rampage and features the most unnecessary Dr Phil cameo. It's just not really up to the same standard as the other episodes.

Fun fact: in season 25, Fox reused the Married To The Blob title, because someone obviously thought it was way, way funnier than it actually is.

The second segment sees Bart using a Krusty golem to get revenge on his bullies, but there are probably a few too many Jewish jokes in there for it to be really comfortable. It also lacks some of the usual charm.

And while The Day The Earth Looked Stupid includes a pretty brave anti-Iraq war allegory, it's not that great an episode, which is always a pre-requisite if an episode is going to preach.
