My Top 9 Mr. Burns Episodes.

My Top 9 Mr. Burns episodes.

 After doing Moe and Flanders, here are my top six Mr. Burns episodes. Mr. Burns is another fan favourite, and he's been the Simpsons villain or friend. It's hard to believe Harry Shearer is 80 years old now.  

So here are my top 9, Mr. Burns episodes and they are...

9. A Hunka Hunka Burns in Love

In this episode, Mr. Burns gets a fortune cookie and learns he will meet true love. He tries to meet every lady, but it doesn't go well. I find it funny when he goes into a strip club and says, "Great heavens! It's one of those nude female fire stations!" that was laughing, especially with Mr. Smithers freaking out with ladies giving him a lap dance. Mr. Burns meets Gloria, and the two hit it off. Despite him being old, she sees how much he loves her. Mr. Burns proposes to her, and she accepts, but her ex, Snake, comes to the bowling area and kidnaps her and Homer. The episode ends with Mr. Burns saving her, but she saves him after he breaks into the house. However, Gloria wants to return with Snake because it is dangerous. This episode was funny, and it's funny seeing Homer help Mr. Burns. Also, in the scene where Homer and Marge are in bed, she says, "Hope the kids didn't hear us." 

8. The Old Man and The Lisa

In this episode, Mr. Burns loses his Nuclear Power Plant, and he asks Lisa to help him, but she doesn't want to since he rude her recycling plan. However, Mr. Burns wants to do better, and she helps him. At first, it looks like he's helping the environment, but he builds a big fish net that drags sea animals out of the sea and makes them into cans of slurry. Lisa realizes that when Burns tries to be good, he's even more evil. The episode was funny, but you do feel bad for Lisa. She didn't want sea animals to get killed to better the environment. The episodes show Burns getting his plant back, and he offers to pay Lisa, and she decides to rip the check, which was 12 million dollars. Homer has a heart attack and has a bigger one when he learns it's actually 12 million. I can't blame Homer. I would have reacted the same way, knowing she had rejected 12 million dollars. You could have used that money to help the sea wildlife. 

7. Fraudcast News 

In this other Mr. Burns vs Lisa Simpsons episode. Lisa decides to run her own newspaper business. At the same time, Mr. Burns buys out all media outlets in town because everyone cared more for a Rock Face Mountain, called Geezer Rock, than him. He tells everyone he's great, but Lisa stands up to Burns and will continue to sell newspapers free from the Burns Media. This episode was funny, and one scene became a meme with Mr. Burns losing against one small ant. This was a great Mr. Burns Episode. I love how it ends with Mr. Burns going shopping. Who doesn't love going to the mall? Except for the holidays. 

6. Burns Baby Burns

This classic episode features the late Rodney Dangerfield, who plays Mr. Burns's son, Larry Burns. This episode has Mr. Burns getting to know his son, who is nothing like him. Larry's lazy and stupid but friendly and funny. He becomes best friends with Homer as they are both lazy as well. Larry has a wife and kids he forgot about by the end of the episode. This episode had me laughing, especially when they showed a simulation of Homer getting killed. I just remember Marge and the kids screaming in horror, but it's just how it would go down if he tried to fight back, lol. This episode was fun to watch, and the late Rodney Dangerfield was funny. It's too bad we haven't seen Larry return, but I guess after Rodney died, the creators of the show retired the character of Larry Burns. 

5. Burns Heir 

In this episode, Burns almost dies and decides he needs an heir to his wealth and power planet. He chooses Bart as his heir, and Bart grows to like Burns, but deep down, he still misses his family. One funny scene is at the end, when Bart fires Mr. Burns, and he tricks Burns into standing at the trap door. Burns falls through, and Smithers jumps after him. I also found it funny when Mr. Burns had secret cameras across Springfield, and we learned Homer eats flowers. This episode was really funny and well-written. 

4. Last Exit to Springfield 

In this episode, the power plant workers go on strike because they want better pay and dental plans. This episode was funny, and I loved Lisa's song They Have Plant, But We Have the Power. Catchy song. Homer becomes the leader of the union, and Mr. Burns thinks Homer is a worthy foe, but Homer isn't. Eventually, Mr. Burns shuts down all power in Springfield and does a Grinch face as he hears their singing. I find it funny that Mr. Smithers is still by Burns despite the unpaid employees, but you know Smithers, he's in love with Mr. Burns. 

3. Mountain of Madness 

In this episode, Homer and Burns get trapped in a cabin in the mountains, and it's a really funny episode because the two of them think the other is trying to kill them. This episode was funny because Mr. Burns does practice fire trial tests, and everyone, instead of evaluating, goes crazy and attacks each other. So Mr. Burns takes everyone up to the mountains to learn about teamwork. It's funny how Homer and Mr. Burns survive together and in the end they both make it out alive. Lenny is the one who gets fired because the last one at the cabin gets fired. 

2. Rosebud 

This was another great episode of Mr. Burns. Despite being the richest man in Springfield, he misses his teddy bear, Bobo. In the episode, it's Burns's birthday, and I found it so funny when Homer does his stand-up. It's so funny not because of the jokes but because he moods Mr. Burns. Bobo ends up in the Simpsons' house, and Homer wants to give Mr. Burns the teddy bear in exchange for money and two Hawaiian houses. Mr. Burns eventually agrees, but Maggie grows to love Bobo and Homer. We see him become a great dad. He's there for his daughter and ends the deal. He can't bring himself to hurt Maggie. in this episode, when we see Maggie sad, we just want to hug her. At the end of the episode, Burns gives up and lets Maggie keep Bobo but tells her not to abandon his teddy bear like he did. Maggies gives Bobo to Mr. Burns because she sees how much he loves the teddy bear like her. It's a good episode, and like the Simpsons characters say in the end, it's ending, and that's it. Because they didn't get anything in return from the richest man in Springfield. 

And my favorite Mr. Burns episode...

1. Who Shot Mr. Burns Part 1 and 2.

This is my favorite Mr. Burns episode because it was a big two-partner episode back in the 90s. All over the country, everyone was talking about who shot Mr. Burns, and there was an event contest. I heard only one person believed it was Maggie, and that person was right in the end. Although years later, everyone would have theories that it wasn't actually Maggie, and there was also the alternate ending where Mr. Smithers shot Mr. Burns. In the episode, Mr. Burns steals Oil from Springfield Elementary; he costs a lot of jobs like Moe, Willie, and Tito Puente and makes many people angry for his crimes. However, the funniest one is that Homer hates Mr. Burns because he never remembers his name, which drives him nuts because he's been working there for ten years. 

One of his worst crimes was blocking out the sun, and when he did, you could feel the citizens of Springfield in anger, fear, and shock. Even Mr. Smithers doesn't like what Burns is doing, and he's in love with him, but in the end, he can't support him anymore, and he fires him. 

The whole town has a meeting, and they want to get rid of Burns, but they can't. However, Mr. Burns gets shot and falls into the sun, and this leads to everyone being a suspect. It was an epic cliffhanger because everyone was suspect and had a reason to kill Burns. 

In part two, they destroy Burn's sunblocker and Shelbyville, which is fair because they stole the lemon tree. At the end of Part 2, we learn who shot Mr. Burns: Maggie Simpson. We see it was an accident, but some say Maggie actually shot him on purpose, and in part 1, she's mad, too, for the horrible things he's done despite the fact she's a baby. To me, this was the best Mr. Burns episode. 

So that's my top 9 Mr. Burns episodes let me know what you think? 

What are yours and are they excellent.
