15 Worst Episodes Of The Simpsons (And What They Represent)

What It Represents: Treehouse Of Horrors getting worse.

Treehouse Of Horror episodes are the flagship of any season. A mainstay since Season Two, even fans who skip the rest of the season tend to catch the Treehouse. If they did so for XXII, they’d have been sorely disappointed.

There’s already been some buzz around the upcoming Treehouse Of Horror, although with it being episode 666 and Treehouse XXX, that’s understandable.

Back to XXII. By far the worst offender is The Diving Bell And The Butterball, an unflinchingly cruel parody of the French movie about a tragic man with locked in syndrome, The Diving Bell And The Butterfly.

It mocks the horrible disease without subtlby having Homer communicate through farting the alphabet. At the end, he can fart spiderwebs and becomes a locked in Spider-Man. It’s all a bit pathetic, really.

Dial D For Diddly, with Ned as a Dexter style killer is redeemable, but the religious angle is wedged in and it throws too much spotlight to Homer.

Finally there’s a long, Bart centric Avatar parody In The Na’vi with no horror whatsoever. Bart does impregnate Kang and Kodos’ daughter though, so that’s something?

Season 30’s Geriatric Park and Multiplisa-ty ran XXII close too.
