First born within earshot.” – Bart Simpson “I meant my number one girl. . . . Oh, for crying out . . .” – Marge Simpson This week we’ve got four links (to three sites) naming or trying to name the #1 Simpsons episode of all time.

“Why, why was I programmed to feel pain?” – Robot As far as Zombie Simpsons commentaries go this one is typically dull, right up until they do something actually worth listening to near the end.
