Cape Feare vs. Three Men and a Comic Book

[Norah]

These are both great, but Comic Book is one of the episodes that serve as a pretty direct connection to my youth. Bart the Daredevil is another.

Bart the Daredevil still has the funniest bit of the entire series run.

Which one?

Homer going down the cliff side. It transcends Simpsons, and goes into the upper echelons of comedic bits along with Who's On First and Steve Martin's arrow-through-the-head.

It's a great bit, but you might be going overboard.

No way. That was like a cultural touchstone when it happened, and it still gets referenced by other comedians/writers frequently.

How frequently?

[tragabigzanda]

Often.

Hmmm.

[stip]

it might be one of the most resonant or culturally significant bits. But it is far from the most funny.
