The Simpsons: 10 Best Recent Episodes You Probably Missed
4. The Book Job (Season 23, Episode 6)
"The Book Job" is another episode which took aim at an intensely specific subject but did so with intelligence and good humour.
The episode makes fun of the book publishing industry and the Young Adult genre in particular, with many pointed, barbed jokes aimed at both Harry Potter and especially Twilight.
This satirical element is expertly blended with an Ocean's Eleven-esque heist plot, with franchise star Andy Garcia even being drafted in for added wink-wink measure.
But surely the highlight of the episode is author Neil Gaiman's guest role, which far from the usual walk-on part sees him intimately involved in the central story, leading to the hilarious payoff that he's an illiterate fraud.
If you hate YA lit or love heist movies, this episode's definitely for you.
