The Simpsons episode, "Bart's Comet" is one of those platonic ideals of a Simpsons episode. It is full of hilarious moments, off-the-wall gags, and mob mentality humor. The opening act showcases Bart and Skinner, with the latter giving into his young prankster ways and the latter succumbing to his sad sack squareness. It then transitions into a satire of how people respond to a crisis, from hubris to despair and desperation, and finally with community. The clockwork perfection of the comet destroying the weather balloon and bomb shelter is wonderful, and the jokes never stop hitting. Furthermore, it also contains asides about military spending and congressional ineptitude. Although there is no Bond villain or flashbacks or attacks from Sideshow Bob, the humor is so dense, and the satire so well-observed, that it becomes an all-timer.

The episode also features a lovely bit of heart. It culminates with a sweet "Que Sera Sera" moment, during which the entire town shows up at the Flanders family bomb shelter. It also includes Homer's delightful thumb-twiddling song, the animal noise guessing game, and the "Never give up, never think things out" spirit of Springfield. All of these elements combine to make an episode that is not only hilarious from start to finish, but also contains great moments of character-based humor and satire.

In the episode "Homer vs. the Eighteenth Amendment", Springfield revives the Prohibition and Homer and Bart become the town's beer barons.

The plot follows Homer and Bart's crazy scheme to dig up barrels, make their own liquor, and help Wiggum with his position. At the end of the episode, the hilarious final line will live on in infamy.

The episode is a great commentary on beer culture, featuring a St. Patrick's day homage, and a green-themed intro. Dave Thomas' Rex Banner is a classic character, and his inability to laugh makes for some great jokes. Homer and Bart's antics throughout the episode are priceless, from their digging up of the barrels to their bowling situation and their making of the liquor. Marge's reaction to all of this is also hilarious. The ending with the catapult is a bit out there, but memorable nonetheless.
