10 Worst Simpsons Episodes From The Best Seasons

Right from the get go, it’s just really hard to get invested in Dancin’ Homer. The story is about Homer accidentally becoming the team mascot of the Springfield Isotopes baseball team after he heckles them. But we already know that it’s going to get him nowhere because the episode starts with him moping in Moe’s tavern about his recent failures.

And even if you don’t have the knowledge that Homer’s new career is going to crumble, it’s just a silly plot anyway. For a large chunk of the episode, we’re just watching Homer perform some less than entertaining dance moves. The story is dull, the supporting characters are underused and it’s all severely lacking in good jokes and humour.

This is the type of episode that you’d expect to see in the first season where the producers were experimenting with Saturday morning cartoon style skits.
