OJ likely murdering his wife has to be the answer here, right?

Don't forget Ron Goldman too.

Abe Simpson throwing Homer under the bus for the attempted murder of Mr. Burns.

Also possibly Abe Simpson shooting down a German airplane. If he actually did it. (In 1994, not during WW2)

Edit: Oh and I guess Abe Simpson cheating on his fiancรฉ, getting the side woman pregnant, giving up the baby, and keeping everything secret from Homer and his other son until he thought he was on his deathbed.

And then when Abe Simpson told young Homer his mother was dead and never came clean until she showed up again.

Man, Abe sucks. Itโ€™s a wonder Homer didnโ€™t stick him in that crooked home he saw on 60 Minutes.

[โ€“] [email protected] 30 points 10 months ago

Yeah... When you put it that way Abe is actually a horrific character.

[โ€“] [email protected] 27 points 10 months ago

I appreciate your comedic timing on the German plane

Abe is the Grampa Joe of the Simpsons

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Abe didn't fake being disabled till he could take advantage of the situation. Joe is worse

Bart ruined all of Australia with that frog

Homer overpolluted the lake causing the US government to isolate and eventually try to destroy all of Springfield with everyone in it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 54 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Well Homer routinely strangles his sonโ€ฆ.

[โ€“] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago

But he did return Bartโ€™s turtle alive and well.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Only when he deserved it.

Homer definitely fucked with multiple timeline branches in one of the earlier Treehouse of Horror episodes when he has the time machine toaster. The ecological impact of wiping out the dinosaurs in one alone alone is pretty significant.

[โ€“] [email protected] 35 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We can't count tree house of horrors episodes.

[โ€“] [email protected] 55 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What do you mean, they have numbers in the episode title

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Itโ€™s understood that the events of Halloween episodes arenโ€™t canon. Theyโ€™re like Futurama What If episodes.

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

It's a joke about counting stuff with numbers in the episode name

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

There is no singular canon, only what is convenient for the episode. You're right about Treehouse episodes being "less canon" than most others, but there very few things that are permanent in the show that haven't been changed or couldn't be changed in a future episode. So it's a sliding scale of "canonism"

Being there for any season after 13 ๐Ÿ˜

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

The most basedest answer.

They locked up Hugo and gave him fish heads for food. That's pretty shitty.

[โ€“] [email protected] 28 points 10 months ago

Homer framing Marge for a DUI was pretty disgusting.

Grimes did that to himself. Homer genuinely didn't do anything wrong.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Grimes: you've.. been to out of space? You??

Homer: sureee, you've never been?

This was just sooo good. Feels bad that Grimes just dealt a bad hand in life.

Not the family. But Principal Skinner not showing Chalmers his Aurora borealis thatโ€™s situated right in his kitchen is pretty dog.

Wow it's you from the other thread I just read leaving your breadcrumbs everywhere (โ˜ž๏พŸใƒฎ๏พŸ)โ˜ž

Lisa giving up, potentially, millions without thinking about her family

Marge never gave Alex Trebek the $5200 that she owed.

So noone else would have to.

We all forgetting Maggie just straight-up murdered someone for trying to take her lollipop?

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

That's called justice.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Homer framed Marge for drunk driving once, dunno if it's the worst but it's pretty bad.

Bart got Milhouse wanted by the FBI
