We all know the Simpsons have lost their charm. They aren't as funny as they used to be. But which episodes are considered the worst by fans standards? I've told you mine already. I guess this is by other fans. Why? Who know, but we all know The Simpsons aren't as watchable as they used to be.
Going from bad to worse, these are the top ten least funny episodes by the fans of the show. I could agree or disagree with them, but let's see which ones they are.
TOLERABLE, BUT NOT GREAT:
1. Kill Gil Vol I and II- Considered a Christmas episode around season 18. Gil's considered a least favorite character. He's suicidal, depressed, and gets different jobs failing in him. This isn't my favorite either, but to fans...they despise it. Feeling they're giving Gil too much air time as he spends almost a year with the Simpsons after being fired from his job as Santa. For me, it's not one of my favorites, but god only knows how worse these episodes are going to become.
2. 
2. Double, Double, Boy in trouble- Ever seen or read 'Prince and the Pauper?' Well, this is The Simpsons version. Why is this considered not good? Well, it's kind of predictable. Bart switches places with someone who is considered rich (also voiced by Nancy Cartwright). He soon realizes how amazing his normal life is. The rich boy is found out by Lisa while Bart finds out he's about to be poisoned by the rich boy's brother and sister. What do I think about this one? It's not Horrible, but it's ok. I guess fans felt different.
3.Homer vs. Dignity- Fans of the show thought that this episode could have done better. With this one, Homer becomes Mr. Burn's monkey. Doing things that make him laugh because Homer's low on cash. He soon realizes how low his dignity becomes when he makes love to a Panda. He draws the line on being greedy on Christmas. I don't care much for the episode, but what are you gonna do. There are worse ones than that.
NOT GREAT, BUT STILL BAD:
4. The Ten-Per-Cent Solution- Considered Joan Rivers final performance (voice wise), she portrays someone who helps Krusty with his finances. Feeling he has to change everything. Even making a 'Krusty the Clown' museum as well. He falls in love with her, no surprise. I don't remember much of it. I wasn't a fan, but it wasn't a horrible episode. Fans thought otherwise.
5. Bart of the Future- Some fans of this episode were surprised to find out a prediction did come true. So surprised, that they feared for their future. I was one of them of course. What was this episode about? Bart finds out how horrible his future would be if he didn't stop being lazy. Lisa becomes the first female president after Donald Trump Back then, that was just a harmless joke, but that really did happen. This episode didn't sit well with viewers, but it wasn't the worst I've seen.
JUST HORENDOUS:
6. Politically Inept, with Homer Simpson- Simpsons and Politics should never mix. And with this episode, it's proof. Homer becomes interested in speaking his mind. He soon becomes hated to some people. He soon gets supporters like Ted Nugent as well as Republican parties. I hated this episode, and I guess I wasn't the only one. It lowered viewership with this episode. In my opinion, I'd skip it. But there are worse to come
7. Kill the alligator and run- Homer starts having a crises and well... being in Florida during Spring Break was not a good idea. Homer goes crazy and ends up killing an alligator. All of them get arrested and well, they try to break out. Some fans thought this episode wasn't that funny. I'm with them. I found it to be boring. The same old 'Homer did something wrong' schtick. The voice acting from Kid Rock and Diedrich Bader were ok, but it's just a boring episode to most of the fans, as well as me.
8. The Squirt and the Whale- Some people did like this episode, but it was so depressing. A beached whale on the shores of Springfield Beach. Lisa does her hardest to keep it alive as Bart helps. It does die sadly, but it's just nature. I have read whales do try to kill themselves and it is sad. Why is this an episode worthy of this list? It's just pretty sad that's all. It got some positive points, but if you love creatures from the sea or land, it's sad to see them go this way.
Before I get to the final two, here are some Dis-honorable mentions that aren't the worst, but we can put them in the 'What were they thinking' Category.
- Alone again natra-diddly- This episode involves Ned losing Maude, and why? The voice actress Maggie Roswell left the show after contract issues and wanting more money. They killed off Maude Flanders, who she did voice. Maggie did come back, but Maude did not (unless she's a ghost) It was not great and fans did not think it was a good idea to get Ned more pissed off than he already was.
- The Boys of Bummer- Fans were not pleased with this episode either. I hated it and put it in my top ten worst. Bart gets blamed for missing a game winning catch in little league. He is booed at, thrown tomatoes and is considered a parish to the town to the point of where he almost kills himself. This episode is pretty harsh.
- That 90's show- What the hell were they thinking? Most fans were saying the same thing I was. They've done this whole 'going back to the past' kind of episodes. But it was amazing in the earlier seasons. Now they just feel forced. Making Homer feel like Kurt Cobain. Marge a writer or something. I skipped this episode mostly. It's just awful, and I'm not the only one that agrees.
- Little Big Girl- I kind of felt the plot was lacking. Bart falls in love for a girl, only not knowing she's pregnant. Oops. Fans thought, even if the voice acting from Natalie Portman was ok, it was still considered Garbage. This was indeed a Bart episode.
- The Musk who fell to the Earth- Sigh! This episode was so boring, that many viewers just tuned out. Elon Musk is a nice person, but around the time this episode was made, he was everywhere. He isn't a bad person, it's just putting him in an episode, you need to expect something to happen. But nothing happened. He helps Homer out....that's it.
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT:
9.The Principal and the Pauper- This is when The Simpsons went down hill. This episode did it. They jumped the shark in the 9th season with this episode. I just was pissed, and I think a lot of other viewers were too. It's just...Martin Sheen is an ok actor, but having him voice the real Principal Skinner, and having Skinner be an imposter....well this is just stupid. Many fans hated this episode, and I don't blame them.
10. Lisa Goes Gaga- The Lowest rated Simpson episode ever is also the worst. I love Lady Gaga and I still do, but this is a low. Well...she's doing better for herself. But I feel this episode was very weak. Focusing on Lisa being unpopular, she's made fun of. Lady Gaga wants to help her, but Lisa has no desire for wanting help. Lady Gaga does everything she can to help her out. I kind of feel sorry for Lady Gaga. Lisa's just being mean. She soon accepts and well....this episode was pretty stupid.
This show has been on the air for about 34 years by now. I know they have lost their way. They weren't the same and these episodes are the reasons why. I don't hate them, but I hate what is happening to the show. I'm not the only one that thinks that. I feel it's time to put the show to bed, and give the voice actors a better life, but still happy for them for making over a billion dollars. So...maybe it's just best to end, but then again, they still are funny.
