The Springfield Files

The Springfield Files is an outstanding Simpsons episode that is packed with one laugh after another from start to finish.It is without a doubt my favourite episode of the entire series,I love the storyline,the funny parts in literally every scene and the X Files Parody.I've seen this episode so many times and I still laugh at the exact same parts each time.Rhe Springfield Files is a really great Simpsons episode.

Homer decides to try a different drink on a Friday night,but after getting too drunk he is forced to walk home.He gets lost in a forrest and is convinced he saw an alien.He gets the FBI to help investigate what he saw.However,no one in Springfield believes him.

Brilliant! Joke after joke lands with a satisfying ending, this is my favourite Homer episode.

I think the spooky factor could have been more but its a tone choice that doesn't in any way hurt the episode.

I like how while homer is gullible, he eventually catches on that people are making fun of him or pulling his leg.

FBI Agents Mulder and Scully investigate Homer's alleged alien encounter.

This is a classic episode with a great tribute to The X Files.

If you are a fan of the parodied show you will probably love The Springfield Files. The writers use the deadpan X Files characters as a foil for the crazy humour of the Springfield residents and make it feel like one of Mulder and Scully's episodic adventures.

The humour is prolific, with a constant stream of sight gags and verbal punchlines. My favourite moment is when Homer and Marge are chatting in bed together and he takes umbrage to her not believing his story.

Guest voice performers David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson and in particular Leonard Nimoy are excellent.

I don't think every single punchline lands, which for me is why it falls just shy of perfect at 9.5/10, but I round upwards.

I love this episode, it never gets old. It is brilliant.

Yes. Just yes. More of this. This is the greatest episode from this show in history. Bar none
