The Simpsons: 10 Best Characters Only In One Episode
6. Space Coyote/Spirit Guide
El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer might just be the best title in The Simpsons storied history, and the Season 8 episode is also a perennial favourite that features one of the show's best cameos. Homer's mysterious voyage begins when a lazy, dog-dangling afternoon is livened up by a visit to the annual chilli cook-off, where an encounter with Chief Wiggums lethal concoction, spiked with a handful of Merciless Peppers of Quetzlzacatenango, leaves him a laughing stock and abandoned by a humiliated Marge.
Not to be outdone, Homer coats his tongue in candle wax and downs several insanity peppers, triggering a prolonged hallucination and a trip to the desert.
Homer eventually finds help in the form of Space Coyote, the spirit guide voiced by the inimitable Johnny Cash, who sends Homer on a quest to find his soulmate. When he awakens from his hallucination, Homer sets off on his task but finds a confused furniture salesman and the personal ads no help, and his pleas to the Space Coyote also fall on deaf ears when he's told, "This is just your memory. I cant give you any new information".
Of course, this being The Simpsons (and not a Halloween special), it all ends well when Homer and Marge are reunited true soul mates, if ever such things exist. In your face, Space Coyote.
