This episode of The Simpsons is probably the best ever. No other Simpsons episode squeezes nearly as much into 22 minutes, the plot is utterly ridiculous but is still rooted in something that the viewer, whether young or old, can relate to - that of moving to a new area, making new friends etc. Homer's new boss Hank Scorpio is in my opinion the best character to appear in a single episode, his voice (by Albert Brooks) is insanely funny and he has some of the best lines ever to be heard on the Simpsons, such as; Scorpio, "What's your least favourite country? Italy or France?" Homer, "France" Scorpio (chuckles), "nobody ever says Italy"; Scorpio (to Homer), "if you could kill someone on your way out that would be a great help".
Along with the megalomaniac plot line you also get musical chairs - with more chairs than people, Marge drinking and James Bond.
For me of all the Simpsons episodes this is the one that comes closest to perfection and there are, I reckon, only three or four other episodes, such as Who Shot Mr Burns, Homer the Great and maybe Marge Vs The Monorail, that come close to the brilliance of You Only Move Twice.
