"The Simpsons," with its never-ending run that makes you wonder if Springfield exists in some sort of time warp, has been dishing out episodes since most of us were in diapers.

Here are the top 15, ranked by IMDb as if they were precious gems in Comic Book Guy's collection.

These episodes are the ones that soared above the rest, like Duff balloons over Springfield, each one a blend of satire, wit, and that special Simpsons brand of heartwarming dysfunction.

They've managed to capture moments of animated brilliance, in a way that makes you laugh while subtly planting a thoughtful seed in your brain, like a gardener who's really good at telling jokes.

From the heart-tugging narratives that unexpectedly yank at your heartstrings, to the belly-laugh-inducing gags that have become part of our cultural fabric, these episodes represent the pinnacle of what a yellow, four-fingered cartoon family can achieve.

And in true Simpsons style, they've done it all while casually poking fun at everything from politics to pop culture, proving that in the world of television comedy, they're not just players – they're the game masters.
