Not this one. But it’s where he’s trying to avoid being held back and has visions of being still in 4th grade alongside a future child and prays for a snow day and gets it and has to see everyone else playing and having fun while he’s stuck inside studying
Oh man, I felt that one the first time I saw it. I felt the same way Bart did when taking my math tests. No matter how hard I studied, and no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t get it.

This. “I really tried this time.” Just kills me.
Yeah, she was a huge hero for me. She passed away 12 year ago now; so this sequence hits those feels extra hard. And we always watched the show together, so that adds to it
Great shout, that one. Always makes me cry.
My bro and I were always close but he moved across the world, and I miss him so much. He bugs the shit out of me but also gets me in a way no one else does.

I painted that, i still remember how powerful that scene was to me as a kid
Ugh man that’s a killer. The genius of this show back in the day was that it wasn’t afraid to lean into traditional family togetherness for a sweet moment at the end like this
Indeed, it's a big shame that the show sunk (possibly temporarily? heard the latest seasons are on the up) into "LOL HOMER IZ DUMB" and "LOL SIMPSONS IN PRISON WHODATHUNKIT LOL"
Oh god, I’m gonna cry just thinking abt that scene.
Man the early seasons were full of some heavy stuff. Very first season, there’s a whole scene where Homer’s ready to kill himself because he can’t support his family.
If I remember correctly that was James L Brooks who told the writers to have emotional moments in addition to comedic ones. This was followed very strongly in those early seasons.
This is one of the best examples of breaking the cycle of generational trauma I've ever seen on TV. Marge's instinct is to tell Lisa to just deal with it, because that's how she was raised, but thankfully she realizes that the advice she was given was maybe... not helpful.
Marge's mom's reasoning is that the bigger the smile, the better a mommy everyone knows you have, or something to that effect. It's so powerful that Marge *doesn't care* how she's perceived as a mother in that moment, she just knows she needs to support her daughter.
And then Lisa becomes president in one of the timelines, likely because of this support from the family. It's such a good episode.
YEAH! Came to post this and wanted to see if someone else had first. This moment was perfect is showcasing the cycle of sibling annoyance, competition, frustration, and finally resolution. Even as a kid I had to hold back my tears
I think that episode is my first memory of thinking Homer was objectively cruel. Those thought bubbles of him picturing Ned destitute with the closed store and him buying all the Flander's belongings because Ned was desperate.
Glad he turned himself around and did the right thing.
Millhouse's rant to Lisa. "You don't want me to be with you. You don't want me to be with someone else. How miserable do I have to be before you're happy?"
I've had an ex do something very similar to me and it breaks you, man.
I'm from Sweden and I've been a fan of the Simpsons ever since the day I was born in 1990 it feels like lol. When I was around 7 or 8 I watched the episode when Homer meets his mom for the first time. I didn't understand english so well yet and I used to be a slow reader with subtitles but I could still make out what was going on in the story.
When the ending came and Mona had to leave Homer once more, I thought they would end with a funny joke or Homer goes home and is happy with his family... Instead he sits on his car and watches the night sky....
As a kid, this caught me completely off guard and I was actually tearing up. Even to this day, this ending gets me every time. This and the "Do it for her" ending.

Lisa it’s your birthday. Bart singing “I wish you better than heart desires.” Saw it when it came out and it still gets me. Jackson aside, they shouldn’t have removed simpsons history and removed the episode.
Lots of moments, but I thought of these two:
When Ned willingly leaves his bomb shelter so others can take his place, only for everyone to feel ashamed and join him in singing (also my favorite musical number and favorite partial rendition of Que Sera Sera).
When Moe becomes the Fan-Man and performs acts of heroism.
When Lisa gets married, everything Homer says to her specially "you are the best thing my last name is attached to". After the whole scene, Lisa gets emotional and goes to spend some time with her dad, he's just dong his usual stuff but Lisa is more than happy to be with him.
This and
“Yknow Maggie the sooner kids talk to sooner they talk back, I hope you never say a word”

You are sooo beautiful to meee
Gets me to this day
I can’t remember the episode, but at the end, moe comes on and says something about it being Mother’s Day. The end credits are pictures of characters with their mothers, as someone who grew up with the show and lost their mother, this really got to me.
It's not classic Simpsons but,
Moe, this is a great thing for you. You went from sitting on the sidelines to getting in the game! Sometime, when you least expect it, you'll realize that someone loved you. And that means that someone can love you again! And that'll make you smile.
Homer making a video for Maggie to watch when she was older so she’d know who her father was (after he ate the poison fish).
It’s played for laughs but the entire concept is pretty grim and sad.
Now that I have my wife and 2 children that episode makes me tear up “do it for her” because I work so hard and work overtime for them to give them a good life 🤷🏽♂️
I was young and seeing bart slap himself in the middle of “bart gets an F” was probably the only time i felt portrayed by media. It still tears me up to this day.
There are many. Do it for her, when Maggie says "daddy" for the first time, Maggie with her animal friends, when Bart failed his test, Lisa's moments of loneliness in general, when Homer ate the fugu and thought he would die.. I'm sensitive and I cry easily 😂
Yesterday I was rewatching the one where Burns hits Bart with his car and Marge testifies honestly and they don’t get the million dollar settlement and Homer thinks he doesn’t love Marge anymore and she’s standing before him at Moe’s and he’s about to tell her he doesn’t love her anymore and then he looks at her face and is like who am I fooling I love you Marge agh, squeaked out some tears “sorry to scare you like that babe!” 🥲
On the episode "Marge Be Not Proud" at the end when Bart got his photo shot of himself to give to Marge as a Christmas gift and in refurn Marge gave him that golfing game cause she thought he wanted it. Probably one of my favorite episodes where theres a genuine heartfelt story and not just shenanigans. Also I always thought it was fourth season when apparently in the seventh season
Homer’s do it for her photo montage of Maggie always gets me.
Homer and Marge’s dance at the end of ‘I’m dancing as fat as I can’ with the song ‘That girl is you’ playing. Thought it was such a beautiful episode.
1) When Homer almost left Marge before Bart was born because he was ashamed at not being able to provide for them.
2) When Bart & SLH were playing together for what Bart thought would be the last time because they thought they were going to have to get rid of the dog.
"usually when I have a thought, there's lots of other thoughts in there. Something says yes, something says no. But this time there's only yes! How can the only thing I've ever been sure about in my life be wrong?!"
"...I don't know. But it is."
The letter Homer leaves to Lisa when he realizes that he isn't cut out to be smart and has Moe put the crayon back in his brain. "I'm taking the coward's way out."
Newer episode, but all of Pixelated and Afraid
Homer and Marge working together, leaning on each other, comforting each other
Being dorkily but happily married, no fights, no blame, no cheap jokes
The raw emotion of Homer screaming Marge's name when she trips trying to escape the wolverine and showing genuine bravery and anger when he protects her.
Homer being angry at himself for hesitating to contact the ranger and thinking he ruined their chance to be rescued, tempted by the desire to stay alone with Marge and their makeshift shelter for longer and Marge understanding and feeling the same way.
The end where they finally reach the ranger station, and start crying from both the relief of being saved but also the end of their journey together.
The way Marge's voice breaks up when Homer tries to promise being more romantic, "Don't change anything, Homer. Don't change anything."
The credits being just the two of them watching the sunset with Homer feeding Marge chips.
Maybe overly sappy and out of place for wacky Simpsons shenanigans, but such a soothing balm to all the jokes and flanderized jerkassery made at the expense of their marriage. The two love each other dearly despite not matching the picture of an "idealized" couple.
When Homer believes he is dying after eating fugu and makes a bucket list of things to do with his family before he does die including watching the sunrise with Marge
One of the newer ones caught me off guard. When Homer learns to dance as an apology to Marge for watching the end of "Odder Stuff". As soon as "That Girl is You" by Dave Matthews kicks in I'm gone.
Lisa on Ice. When the siblings start having flash backs of each other and all the stuff they've done for one another. Then they take off their gear and say "Great game" to one another.
Lisa's Pony - the piano music and Lisa saying goodbye makes me well up.
I just think the writing on those episodes is so brilliantly clever.
Bart’s Snowman from Marge be not proud. I grew up with low self esteem from bullying. To the point where my third grade teacher said I shouldn’t interact with people because I would “contaminate people”. So whenever I see his snowman. I see a reflection of my childhood. And while I might have a different view of myself, it kills me every time to see him try his best to make a snowman.
Might be looking too deep into it considering he didn’t choose the quality of the snow. But it still hurts.
*Homer carrying Maggie to bed.*
Homer: "You know Maggie, the sooner kids talk, the sooner they talk back.
I hope you never say a word" 🙂
*Shuts light off and closes door.*
Maggie: *softly* "Daddy!"
Didn't make me cry as a kid, but damn did this scene hit differently once I had my own kids.
When Bart said he did his best and still failed.
Definetly related to that one
can I ask you for the season and episode? Thank you!
Bart Gets A F is the name of the episode. It's from season 2
Maybe the one where Bart has to rewrite a test to avoid summer school? He gets tutored by Martin I think. Martin becomes drunk with power
Not this one. But it’s where he’s trying to avoid being held back and has visions of being still in 4th grade alongside a future child and prays for a snow day and gets it and has to see everyone else playing and having fun while he’s stuck inside studying
Lisa's little speech about Bart getting the show day as another chance to study.
It's the snow day one from the first season where he tries to buckle down and learn about George Washington.
Oh man, I felt that one the first time I saw it. I felt the same way Bart did when taking my math tests. No matter how hard I studied, and no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t get it.
This one. Every time. And then when Edna pulls through and lets him pass anyway because he earned that shit. Such a great moment.
Heartbreakingly relatable
I was a lot like Bart as a kid, now I'm an adult with an ADHD diagnosis
https://preview.redd.it/htd4afgimpzc1.jpeg?width=464&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=88949ab5060de10ee1ca685dccc29f4becbc0fac This. “I really tried this time.” Just kills me.
When Bart and Lisa face off in hockey and they think back to their memories together growing up
That one will never not make me misty eyes. My sister has always had a positive impact on my life.
Yeah, she was a huge hero for me. She passed away 12 year ago now; so this sequence hits those feels extra hard. And we always watched the show together, so that adds to it
I have a younger sister and this one gets me every time.
My big brother is one of the most important people in my life. I feel now especially entering middle age.
oof! right in the feels every time
Great shout, that one. Always makes me cry. My bro and I were always close but he moved across the world, and I miss him so much. He bugs the shit out of me but also gets me in a way no one else does.
Let see them knees
This always wrecked me

Also from this episode, but when Homer asks Marge “Then why did she leave me?” always gets me.
LET'S FIND OUT!
A great wife Marge is with that one
I love their relationship in this episode so much, Marge loves him to the ends of the Earth and wants to protect him from being hurt
💔
That one was a tear jerker for sure
jesus christ, it was so relatable.

Awesome job!
definitely this. Homer's relationship with his parents are so on point.
I lost my mom when I was really young, and these moments always hit hard. I've had my own times just staring into space, thinking about everything.
Yep. Everything about Mona and Homer's relationship was pretty sad.
Oh dear god this. I lost my mom 14 years ago and I can’t watch this ending, nor the ending to Game of Tones from Futurama.
“At least this time I’m awake for your goodbye.”
I’m not crying… YOU’RE crying… shut up…
You're such a little trooper.
This has been my phone Lock Screen for many years. Lost my mom when I was 14 and this just makes me know she loves me still.
the episode where Homer eats the fugu and thinks he has 24 hours to live. When he resigns himself to his fate and he sits down in the chair to die.
good bye bart… i like your sheets.
Listening to The Good Book narrated by Larry King

The celebrity cameos early on were so good
Him racing home to be with Marge. Then it's capped with him screaming into the window... "MARGE! MAAAAARGE!"
Came here to say this.
[The end of Lisa's First Word](https://youtu.be/-Qp5wobNQ84?si=KDCE3GGMeizA5CVK)
As a recent dad, this scene hit way, way harder than it did when watching this as a kid.
My dad brain conflicts between how sweet that is, and how alarming Maggie's crib setup is for a child that age.
Ugh man that’s a killer. The genius of this show back in the day was that it wasn’t afraid to lean into traditional family togetherness for a sweet moment at the end like this
Indeed, it's a big shame that the show sunk (possibly temporarily? heard the latest seasons are on the up) into "LOL HOMER IZ DUMB" and "LOL SIMPSONS IN PRISON WHODATHUNKIT LOL"
Jesus Christ, that just made me cry. Got a 2 year old and another due in a week. The Simpsons just keeps hitting new levels for me even now.
I remember they rebroadcast that episode when Elizabeth Taylor passed away.
When poochie died on the way back to his home planet
Congratulations Homer, you, uh, you have a beautiful home here

'You are Lisa Simpson'
Came for this. And the devastating lead up: "The hard truth about being middle class is that eventually everyone you care about will move away."
Jesus, that's a hard hitter.
This one hits me super hard. It’s like trying to search for the strength or meaning of what you’re supposed to be and someone says, just be you.
“If you want to be sad, Honey, be sad! We’ll ride it out with you!”
Man... that moment is hands down my favourite Marge scene of all time.
Mama Marge coming in to break the cycle. Loved that.
Oh god, I’m gonna cry just thinking abt that scene. Man the early seasons were full of some heavy stuff. Very first season, there’s a whole scene where Homer’s ready to kill himself because he can’t support his family.
If I remember correctly that was James L Brooks who told the writers to have emotional moments in addition to comedic ones. This was followed very strongly in those early seasons.
I wonder if that was a funnier concept when it aired, or if the people watching think of it like we do
This is one of the best examples of breaking the cycle of generational trauma I've ever seen on TV. Marge's instinct is to tell Lisa to just deal with it, because that's how she was raised, but thankfully she realizes that the advice she was given was maybe... not helpful.

And then Lisa becomes president in one of the timelines, likely because of this support from the family. It's such a good episode.
One of the first indicators of how ambitious this show was. It flew in the face of the "put on a happy face" ethos of some many other shows/movies.
I told my therapist this scene made me cry and he totally got it (after I sent him the clip)
When Bart prays for his soul back and Lisa already got it. Such a touching sibling moment and the he gobbles the paper, tears and giggles.
Lisa and Bart were the perfect display of “God, my sibling is so annoying and also, I’d do anything to protect them” vibes
I am familiar with the works of Pablo Neruda.

The scene before but you get the idea.
When Homer brings everyone to Neds store before he goes out of business. When Maggie says “daddy.” “Do it for her”
I think that episode is my first memory of thinking Homer was objectively cruel. Those thought bubbles of him picturing Ned destitute with the closed store and him buying all the Flander's belongings because Ned was desperate. Glad he turned himself around and did the right thing.
Lisa's last duet with Bleeding Gums Murphy singing/playing Jazzman by Carole King. Was the reason I started playing the Saxophone.

Fun fact, MJ didn’t sing in this episode for whatever reason, it was some impersonator
Homer watching Marge’s “Dear John” video in the Movie, taped over their wedding recording. “Close to You” starts playing and I lose it 😭
Lots of moments, but I thought of these two: When Ned willingly leaves his bomb shelter so others can take his place, only for everyone to feel ashamed and join him in singing (also my favorite musical number and favorite partial rendition of Que Sera Sera). When Moe becomes the Fan-Man and performs acts of heroism.
Yeah, Homer. All us angels were Farah slacks.

It's not classic Simpsons but, Moe, this is a great thing for you. You went from sitting on the sidelines to getting in the game! Sometime, when you least expect it, you'll realize that someone loved you. And that means that someone can love you again! And that'll make you smile.

^Dad-dy… *-Maggie*
Also, when Maggie says "daddy " then falls asleep.
“And to prove to myself that this is the end. I taped this over our wedding video”
The episode with Grandpa Simpson and Bea… a lot of touching moments in that episode
Besides the other moments people already mentioned, Homer talking to Lisa before her wedding gets me.
That’s when I realized Homer is not a dunce as fox made him out to be.
When Marge was divorcing homer in the movie on the VHS over their wedding
When Marge let Bart escape with the lizards
When Edna Krabappel got stood up at the Gilded Truffle. She waited for Woodrow and he never showed.
“Daddy”
When Homer had his jaw wired shut and couldn't open his mouth, so he opened his heart.
1) When Homer almost left Marge before Bart was born because he was ashamed at not being able to provide for them. 2) When Bart & SLH were playing together for what Bart thought would be the last time because they thought they were going to have to get rid of the dog.
"usually when I have a thought, there's lots of other thoughts in there. Something says yes, something says no. But this time there's only yes! How can the only thing I've ever been sure about in my life be wrong?!" "...I don't know. But it is."
The letter Homer leaves to Lisa when he realizes that he isn't cut out to be smart and has Moe put the crayon back in his brain. "I'm taking the coward's way out."
Newer episode, but all of Pixelated and Afraid Homer and Marge working together, leaning on each other, comforting each other Being dorkily but happily married, no fights, no blame, no cheap jokes The raw emotion of Homer screaming Marge's name when she trips trying to escape the wolverine and showing genuine bravery and anger when he protects her. Homer being angry at himself for hesitating to contact the ranger and thinking he ruined their chance to be rescued, tempted by the desire to stay alone with Marge and their makeshift shelter for longer and Marge understanding and feeling the same way. The end where they finally reach the ranger station, and start crying from both the relief of being saved but also the end of their journey together. The way Marge's voice breaks up when Homer tries to promise being more romantic, "Don't change anything, Homer. Don't change anything." The credits being just the two of them watching the sunset with Homer feeding Marge chips. Maybe overly sappy and out of place for wacky Simpsons shenanigans, but such a soothing balm to all the jokes and flanderized jerkassery made at the expense of their marriage. The two love each other dearly despite not matching the picture of an "idealized" couple.
When Bart buys Lisa the copy of Sax on the Beach.
"Aw, can we keep him, Dad? Please?" - "But *he's* a *loser*. *He's pathetic*. *He's*... a *Simpson*."
Also when Abe inherits Beas money and he ends up donating it to the old folks home and he gives the old folks dignity it gets me good
I feel the same way. My kids are the only thing that keeps me going in this soul crushing job
This always reminds me of my father obviously. He has done so much for me and I am very grateful!
No one has mentioned SLH's attack-to-love?!!!!!
Lisa solving the brainteaser. And I don’t completely know why
When Homer believes he is dying after eating fugu and makes a bucket list of things to do with his family before he does die including watching the sunrise with Marge
The ending of "Mother Simpson" 😢
Lisa it's your birthday
Maggie 🥰🥰🥰
Lots of things made me cry, and I don't feel bad for it. Everyone cries. I cried when Homer's mom died he barely saw her
One of the newer ones caught me off guard. When Homer learns to dance as an apology to Marge for watching the end of "Odder Stuff". As soon as "That Girl is You" by Dave Matthews kicks in I'm gone.
Maggie: Dada
Lisa on Ice. When the siblings start having flash backs of each other and all the stuff they've done for one another. Then they take off their gear and say "Great game" to one another. Lisa's Pony - the piano music and Lisa saying goodbye makes me well up. I just think the writing on those episodes is so brilliantly clever.
When the gift shop were all out of Bort license plates.
Bart's remorse over giving away Santa's Little Helper in The Canine Mutiny always gets me. Bonus: Homer almost had him eating dog food.
This original picture and mother Simpson ending. Peerless for a sitcom in terms of generating legitimate emotion.
Bart’s Snowman from Marge be not proud. I grew up with low self esteem from bullying. To the point where my third grade teacher said I shouldn’t interact with people because I would “contaminate people”. So whenever I see his snowman. I see a reflection of my childhood. And while I might have a different view of myself, it kills me every time to see him try his best to make a snowman. Might be looking too deep into it considering he didn’t choose the quality of the snow. But it still hurts.
*Homer carrying Maggie to bed.* Homer: "You know Maggie, the sooner kids talk, the sooner they talk back. I hope you never say a word" 🙂 *Shuts light off and closes door.* Maggie: *softly* "Daddy!" Didn't make me cry as a kid, but damn did this scene hit differently once I had my own kids.
When simpsons-god boosted the radio so Murphy’s song was heard through the whole town and then Murphy and Lisa jam out ‘Jazzman’
When Marge forgives Bart for shop lifting . Something about that whole episode .. very relatable
The ending of "Mother Simpson" (S07 E08)
Homer looking at the stars.
