Top Ten Most Heartfelt Moments from The Simpsons
It's hard to believe an animated series like The Simpsons can have those moments that make you shed a tear in happiness or sadness. They get you right there! Here's the top ten of those moments we all shed a tear to.Homer reunites with his fugitive mother, who has been avoiding the authorities for 25 years after being part of a germ warfare sabotage. Unfortunately, Homer's mother has to leave him again, just as she did when he was a child.
The quote that got me was, "At least this time I'm awake for your goodbye," suggesting that Homer doesn't want her to leave but knows she has to.
This should be number one. I was actually shocked they could pull off a moment as heartfelt as this. I never really found the Do it for her scene to be that great, but this one with Homer's mother was so bittersweet it always left an impression on me. Good job on this one, guys.
At the end of the episode "And Maggie Makes Three," Homer explains why there are no pictures of Maggie. He says, "I keep them where I need the most cheering up." Homer has placed her pictures over a plaque, covering some of the letters so that it now reads, "Do it for her."
This moment made me cry so much in happiness after discovering how deeply Homer loves all his family members.
Bart fails his test again, but this time he says that he tried his hardest and still failed. This moment hits me so hard, as I myself struggled to pass my subjects in school. I feel real sympathy for Bart during this tough time.
When Ms. Krabappel lets him pass after he spouts some random history fact, I feel so joyous. Bart gets so happy that he passed and tells everyone he got a D- and that he passed!
It's so sad to see Lisa's dream teacher leave so soon. The emotion on Lisa's face is so strong when she receives the note from Mr. Bergstrom. When Lisa tells Homer that Mr. Bergstrom left, Homer says he doesn't care, which outrages Lisa.
Oh, come on! This was sadder than Bart Gets an F! Sorry, I didn't watch Mona Leaves.
My opinion:
1. You are Lisa Simpson - Lisa's Substitute
At the end of "Lisa's First Word," Homer says to Maggie, "I hope you never say a word." Once the lights go out, Maggie speaks for the very first time with the cutest voice ever heard.
My mom hardly pays attention to The Simpsons, but when Maggie said Daddy, even my mom said Awww.
One of the best moments from the Golden Age (Seasons 1 to 10).
When Homer thinks he was poisoned from eating a poorly cooked Fugu (blowfish), he believes he has only 22 hours left to live. In the final few hours, Homer goes to sleep wearing a cassette headset and listens to the Bible as he drifts off. Homer eventually slumps in his seat, leading everyone to think that he died.
The sad part is when Marge wakes up to discover Homer isn't in bed. She goes around worried, eventually finding him "dead" in a chair. Marge then realizes his drool is warm, and she celebrates the fact that Homer is alive. Such a moving moment.
Bart and Lisa play on opposing hockey teams. It comes down to the final penalty shot, to be taken by Bart with Lisa in the net. Bart is about to take the shot but then remembers how Lisa has helped him through tough times, such as helping him steal from the cookie jar.
Lisa also remembers moments when Bart cheered her up, like when her ice cream fell off the cone and Bart gave her some of his. In the end, Bart and Lisa realize that they need each other and allow the game to end in a draw.
Despite their differences (Bart being perceptive. Lisa being bookish), they are more alike than it seems.
It was such a happy sight to see Ned get back into business after the catastrophic failure his shop initially had. I admire this moment so much because I, too, am left-handed. Homer actually cares for Ned this time, proving that Ned isn't really Homer's enemy.
Ned was never Homer's enemy (Frank "Grimey" Grimes was Homer's real enemy). Rather, he was the best friend Homer never had and the nice man Springfield always needed.
When Bleeding Gums Murphy, Lisa's jazz idol, passes away, Lisa wants the whole town of Springfield to know his name. After saying the quoted line, Bleeding Gums appears out of a cloud that strikes the jazz station, giving Lisa her wish. Then Bleeding Gums says goodbye to Lisa after her success.
The memory of Bleeding Gums Murphy lives on through Lisa Simpson and so on.
Bart doesn't believe in the soul, so he sells his for 5 bucks to Milhouse. When he realizes how much he needs it, Bart is reduced to praying for it, and it eventually falls in front of him.
This scene makes me cry every time. It's the only one I've ever cried over in the show.
When I was younger, my family was a bit concerned about my "sadness," when really I was just trying to be philosophical and deep. When I saw this episode, I felt for Lisa. We both weren't sad or depressed, just moody.
