One of my favorite Simpsons episodes, centered though it is on Homer being on idiot; which is its own recipe for laughs. Between the epic stock market fail and the turn towards lab testing for some quick cash, he's a deep well of comedy. And I love that the source of his stupidity is a lodged crayon. Once removed, he's suddenly both an egghead and the town pariah.
But it's Lisa who finds a kindred (and marginalized) spirit in her father's newfound intelligence, and that adds a real note of sincerity to this and ends up pulling at your heartstrings.
I love this one.
9/10
