but also the one with Armin Tamzarian
i get how this episode was bad for the show, and specifically Skinner's character, but it's also REALLY FUNNY

I only watched it this year expecting it to be the worst thing ever and it's still better than probably any episode of Family Guy

also the best episodes are Homer/Lisa episodes

Wait, there are people who don't like the Armin Tamzarian episode?

That episode has one of my favorite lines in the series: "They gave me a choice — jail, the army, or apologizing to the judge and the old lady.
Now of course, if I knew there was a war going on, I probably would've apologized."

From what I understand, a lot of people felt betrayed or something by the rewriting of an established character's backstory, and then the hand-waving "never speak of this again under penalty of torture" status quo restorer at the end. I never fully understood the hate for it, but I do have to admit that it was a bit of a weak episode, especially considering it was the last for Oakley and Weinstein.

Apparently a lot of people also dislike Homer's Enemy, and that's basically because it makes Homer look like the bad guy or something, which I never understood. That one's one of my favorites.

e: The Principal and the Pauper also had "Up yours, children!" which is still one of my favorite lines, so maybe it's not as weak as I think.

Considering all the inane meta-humor and absurd nonsense generated through shitposting and endless iterations of Steamed Hams, one would think that that kind of an absurdist wink at the concept of metanarrative would be adored, if not at least appreciated.

It also had the Crapweeds and Scumdrops bit, and the "what is going on, and why is everyone in the car?" scene, which are both great.

A lot of people, including Skinner's voice actor, hate the episode because of its clichéd and pointless plot.

... And they didn't catch on that it's meant to be parody, not genuinely trying to make the news with Skinner is a phony! Omg!
