Welcome to TheSimpsons, a community for discussing everything related to America's non-prehistoric cartoon family, The Simpsons!

Right about now, you're probably saying, "Troy, basically every post starts with 'Guess the Episode', is that all this community is?"

To which I say you've got some attitude, mister.

But no, any Simpsons content is allowed in this community, although we do ask that you keep the shitposting over in !simpsonsshitposting@sh.itjust.works.

Guess the Episode "Rules"

These "Rules" aren't real, so if you think of something clever, do that instead.

Main plot : Bart puts his name on martin princes apptitude test and everyone thinks Bart is a genius.

Joke scene : Bart and Homer are playing scrabble and Bart creates a new word “kwyjibo” which he describes as a “big dumb ape with no fur” .

This is like season 1 episode 2 or 3? Kind of one of the first “true” Simpson episodes following the familiar episode breakdown

And a short temper! Correct!

And if you count the first episode as a Christmas special this is in fact the "first" episode, season 1 episode 2.

This comment confused me until I looked it up, it's a YouTube review channel and they uploaded a video about this episode a few hours ago.

But in this case it's just a random coincidence. I just go to Frinkiac and hit "Random" until I find something interesting (or if a random quote pops in my head).

it's incredible watching this episode and wondering how tf did this show ever take off... but it did

It helps that it got a trial run on The Tracy Ulman Show. They had a few years to figure out what to do. Not that shorts are the same as a full episode, but it's baby steps.
