The one quote that always manages to crack me up...

Willy - Aye, Sherry Bobbins and I used to be an item. We were engaged to be wed. But then she got her eyes fixed. Suddenly the ugliest man in Glasgow wasn't good enough for her anymore.

Sherry - (smiles) It's nice to see you again, Willy

Willy - (beat) THAT'S NOT WHAT YA SAID THE LAST TIME YA SAW ME!
 
About the discussion on when the Simpsons went shitty, I think the series took a shit after season 12, but it started to nosedive after season 10.

Season 1-10 is worth buying on DVD. Season 11-12 is worth buying on DVD if you get a good deal on cheap used box sets. Season 13-20 is worth watching on TV if they come on, but not worth buying. Season 21+ isn't even worth watching at all.

Realistically, I like to think of Season 11 as the first truly bad season, because I rarely watch any episode from that one outside the finale and some of the early ones. I'd even argue it's home to some of the absolute worst episodes of the series until the switch to HD. It's the season of Kill the Alligator and Run, It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad Marge, Take My Wife, Sleaze, Bart to The Future and probably my least favorite, Days of Wine and Doh'ses.

I'd say really only Seasons 1-10 are worth watching on DVD, and the rest you could just kinda avoid. Particularly Seasons 17 and on, Season 17 being in my view the first truly HORRIBLE season.

Dankmus and Dark Simpsons are awesome too.

Dankmus is a gem and Dark Simpsons is pure dark kino. I honestly hope the guy who makes Dark Simpsons eventually manages to do better edits on par with the shitposting videos. Then we can truly start seeing some shit that'll blow Zombie Simpsons out of the water and launch their carcass straight into space.

I didn't mind of the off-Halloween anthology episodes they use to have*, but I have no faith in current year Simpsons to do a Thanksgiving themed horror anthology any justice.

*the Henry VIII segment still cracks me up

Especially when it's based off a show that has also declined massively, but is still superior.
 
I've tried to pinpoint the Jump the Shark moment on The Simpsons, but I can't. It was a a slow, almost imperceptible decline. I can't remember which came first, the Jockey Elves or the cruel death of Maude Flanders, but it was around that time that I knew the show was dead.

Both are same season, but Jockey elves came first.

The "Jump The Shark" Moment was Marge Vs. The Monorail. Yeah, it came out during the "good" seasons, but that was the first truly wacky episode of the show that really set the standard for things to come. Useless celebrity guest cameos, focus on the town, cartoony humor, exaggerated climax for the effect of the show, all that shit. Maybe even Mr. Plow. I dunno, but Monorail seems more suitable.

I don't define a "Jump The Shark" moment as the time when a show became bad. I define it as a time where the show became so different from what had came before that it morphs into a completely different amalgamation of a show.

Season 11 was when I feel it started to jump the shark. That was around the time they were really starting to ape other adult animated shows and just went for pointless pop culture gags/celebrity cameos and gross out humor (I still can't watch that episode where Homer gets LASIK and his eyes crust entirely over)
