The Simpsons, the longest-running series on television, has 38 seasons and more than 780 episodes. Therefore, it is very difficult to answer the question of what is the best gag or joke of the entire series.
Despite this, and that each of the millions of fans around the world will have their favorite, the networks have more or less agreed on choosing, if not the best, one of the best gags in history.
A fan account dedicated to sharing clips from the show on X (the social network formerly known as Twitter), shared a scene from season seven as the culmination of the series’ comedic achievements.
The response was overwhelming, with legions of Simpsons fans agreeing that the episode’s writers A fish named Selma (season 7, episode 19) They reached their peak with this chapter.
“This was the heyday of television; nothing will be more fun than this moment“wrote user @criminalsimpsons.
The tweet is accompanied by a video that shows a parody of planet of the apes. The legendary character of Troy McClure stars in the segment, taking on the role of an astronaut in the musical parody Stop the Planet of the Apes, I Want to Get Off.
“The fact that this sequence occupies almost two minutes of a duration of 22 minutes indicates that the writers knew exactly how much gold they found and took advantage of it,” says one user.
This clip is famous for the catchy song Doctor Zaiuswhich in turn parodies the hit of the 80s Rock Me Amadeusperformed by the Austrian singer Falco.
