"Old Man Yells At Cloud" tops the list as best newspaper gag ever not just because it's a funny headline with a comically angry Abe Simpson but because it spawned a meme that flooded the internet for ages. Go ahead, head to Google and search "old man yells at cloud" and see how many results you get. Really, this is the sort of headline that could represent any old crank, and face it - the world is full of those. The newspaper clipping is from The Old Man And The Key in season thirteen, in which Grandpa Simpson gets his license back. Not wanting to use the DMV photo, Abe convinces Patty to use the photo of him yelling at a cloud for his driver's license photo. Which also makes this the best license photo ever. Did we miss any?
