I think I preferred every episode Last Exit was up against except Homer vs. Apu. But it certainly took the hard road to the finals.

I think the only times I voted against Homer at the Bat was Homer the Vigilante and Cape Feare.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Both of these are worthy of winning it all. I'm voting for Last Exit to Springfield, at least for now. A few years ago it would have been Homer at the Bat no question. That episode hasn't fallen off for me, but Last Exit is just really, really, really fucking good.

Every single episode Last Exit beat is better than it.

Hmm, that's a tall order. Probably:
Das Bus
Bart's Comet
You Only Move Twice
Beyond Blunderdome
Much Apu About Nothing
Off the top of my head, anyway.

Pretty good list. Not sure about Blunderdome, though. Is that the Mel Gibson episode?

I haven't seen the mel gibson episode in a long time, but there are some great bits in it.

Bart's Comet and You Only Move Twice would probably be in my top 5, too.

Beyond Blunderdome is bad
The rest of LV's list is pretty good

Much Apu About Nothing is a perfectly cromulent top 5 episode.

I'm surprised how close this is; there seems to be much more love for Last Exit. My gut tells me Homer at the Bat, but I'm going to wait until I rewatch Last Exit, which never seems to be on TV.

Last Exit is non stop brilliance. I love it so much.
