Two episodes which were ruined by (similar) idiotic endings. Which one do you like better.
I cast my vote for The Frying Game.

I cast my vote for The Frying Game.
When you add a poll, please try to stay objective. Both episodes are average B-minusses, so I won't pick a favorite.

I think I prefer The Great Money Caper, but I´m not very sure. But, in fact, I don´t think the endings were the only crappy things in those episodes.
The Frying Games wins, though this is a shit vs poop contest. The Frying Game had some good emotion in the third act, ruined by the ending. The first act with the Screamapillar is horrid and for something like Spongebob. The second act with Ms. Bellamy wasn't bad and had som funny moments. C/C-
The Great Money Caper: It is what it is. D-
I thought both of them were really horrible, and undoubtedly feature in my worst ten list. The Frying Game had some semblance of a plot in there, and did go to the trouble of evoking some sort of emotion, but was it worth it? No, but for that little bit of effort, it made it marginally less crap. The Frying Game wins.
The Frying Game: 2.5/5
The Great Money Caper: 2.25/5

I prefer The Frying Game.
The great Money Caper, probably because it came first. The ending to Frying game was so disappointing, I immediately thought of the Money Caper/
The Frying Game, because it didn't have the surfing.
Season 25 Ratings
Awful, probably
The Frying Game is horribly underrated, so it takes the cake. The Great Money Caper sucks all round.
Frying Game. Don't understand what's so bad with it.
EDIT: Oh, wait... I made this poll. I really wish Silverlimit would stop bumping up a bunch of old polls... oh, well, it's better than having them made again, I suppose...

The Frying Game.
What were they about? The titles tell me nothing.




As had been said several times, our opinions don't actually matter, which is why I'm going with the minority vote - The Great Money Caper. Honestly, I think this is one of my favourite episodes due to a silly yet cohesive storyline. Joe Green said it best in the CABF03 capsule: "The most ironic thing about this show is that the ending was actually _less_ contrived than the typical Scully-era OFF episode."
Bart: "Please don't call our parents!"
Chief: "I'm afraid I have to for hijinks like these. Hijinks - it's a funny word. Three dotted letters in a row."
Eddie: "Is it hyphenated?"
Chief: "It used to be, back in the good old days, you know. Of course, every generation hyphenates the way it wants to. Then there's *NSYNC! What the hell is that? Jump in any time there, Eddie, these are good topics."
The Frying Game. While I still dislike the ending, I understand it better. I mean, what else could they do? I just wish they left out the bit where Homer is looking at that woman's cleavage. And the Great Money Caper is just nasty all the way through.
