20 Most Paused TV Moments Of The Decade

20. "We'll Really Miss You Mrs K." (The Simpsons - Season 25, Episode 3)

The Moment: During the episode's opening chalkboard gag, Bart's scrawling reads, "We'll really miss you Mrs K", in tribute to Edna Krabappel's voice actress Marcia Wallace, who passed away the week prior to the episode's airing. Why It Had To Be Paused: Though it's widely accepted that The Simpsons has been a mere shadow of its former self for over a decade, this was one moment that really resonated with viewers. It's such a simple, subtle tribute, and the pained look on Bart's face says it all: without needing to speak a single word, the show paid fitting tribute to one of its most vital performers. If this one didn't give you the feels even a little bit, you're probably not a true Simpsons fan.
