"The Simpsons" premiered its 26th season on Sunday — an anniversary worthy of cracking open some Duff beers and downing a Squishee. To mark the occasion, our friends at Vulture combed through the quarter-century of seasons to create the definitive list of "The 100 Best 'Simpsons' Episodes."
This will be a handy guide when the entire "Simpsons" oeuvre becomes available soon via an FX mobile app. According to one early anticipator at Quartz, Simpsons World could change your life — or keep you distracted for hours.
The Frame's John Horn spoke with Vulture's
about some of his favorite "Simpsons" episodes.

(And, in case you missed it, here's that weird futuristic couch gag from Sunday's season premiere, from Oscar-nominated filmmaker and animator Don Hertzfeldt.)
