Treehouse of Horror XXV, 2014
Bart and Lisa get sucked into the underworld, only to find that Hell looks a lot like Springfield Elementary — and in this reality, Bart's the star student. (Meanwhile, Lisa makes friends with a group of mean girls, and snow immediately begins to fall: ''It's true! It
would be a cold day in Hell when I was popular!'') This is just about as good as latter-day
Simpsons gets; the jokes hit, there's a stab at some real emotion (Homer lets Bart torment him, because he's proud of how well his son's doing at school), and the visuals are top-notch. Especially Bart and Lisa's classmates, Screaming Torso and Bleeding Eyes With Finger Legs.
Best Line: Monstrous Hell Nelson, taunting a student sent to hell for
docetism: ''Ha-ha, your heresies were venialized by the Council of Palermo!''
