Championship Final: Homer the Heretic vs. Cape Feare

[tom cody]

After 3 weeks of this tournament we have a final and it's a final between 2 of my favourite episodes of all time:

Homer the Heretic vs. Cape Feare

Thanks to everyone who voted in this tournament. It was the first one of these that I ever ran and liked reading everyone's views. I'm giving serious consideration to doing a similar tournament. featuring characters outside the family but wouldn't start it until June,

"Homer the Heretic" got my vote.

[gonzo]

Cape Feare is my favortie Bart and Bob episode, so let me just say:

CF ftw

[Kit Starter]

Homer the Heretic for me as it touches a sensitive subject and really makes you think. Cape Feare is shallow in comparison but still good for some fun.

[Moe Nopoly]

i voted for Cape Feare. Funny and highly entertaining.

[The mayor of Albuquerque]

neither is in my top 10, but so it goes...

[Tamaki Suoh]

"Homer the Heretic", I guess, but that's probably not even in my top 50, so...

[Kyoya Otori]

Homer the Heretic, by far.

[Scavenger]

Cape Feare, it's one of my personal favorites, and a classic Sideshow Bob episode.

"And turn, and flex, and shake, and bounce!"

[Mindy Simmons]

Heretic!

Cape Feare is possibly the most overrated episode ever.

[Theres Always a Bigger Fish]

Cape Feare is in my top 5, hope it pulls this one off.

btw this was a pretty awesome tournament.

[Cyn]

Very Very Tough but I went with Homer the Heretic

[Les Whinin]

This is a tight one. Cape Feare may have more funny moments but I think Homer the Heretic is a great mix of humor and plot. My vote goes to Heretic.

[Jeffster]

"Oh, riiiiiight. The Sideshow BOB THING."

Cape Feare for the win.

[haggard]

this is a real cranium scratcher but i'll have to go for homer the heretic.
i'll take subversion over an homage any day :angry:

[Niko Vance]

Homer the Heretic

[überweiss]

"Homer the Heretic".

[SilverEagle]

This battle is epic.

Heretic FTW

[Xt'Tapalatakettle]

My two favorite episodes. Amazing.

Homer the Heretic has more value as an episode, so I go with that one.

[tom cody]

Congratulations to Homer the Heretic for winning this tournament. Thanks to everyone for voting in this tournament. I hope to do something like this again some day.

[Tamaki Suoh]

^Are you going to do the secondary characters one? If not, I'll try to do it.

[Kit Starter]

This shouldn't have been so close but I'm still glad the right episode won.

[Jeffster]

This shouldn't have been so close but I'm still glad the right episode won.

But the right episode didn't win. :silly:

I'm thinking about doing it myself but wouldn't start it until June, give some sort of break from all these tournaments.

Well, Homer The Heretic and Cape Feare together share the first place for my favourite Simpsons episode.
Both are genious in their respective ways.
Cape Feare is the absolutely funniest Simpsons episode for me, it has the highest great jokes per minute ratio and also belongs to the most atmospheric episodes.
Homer the Heretic is the most well-rounded episode in the series, it has lot of great humor and its story is one of the most meaningful ones.
The deciding factor for me is the fact that Cape Feare's story is a full time parody which makes it a little bit more derivative, thus my vote goes for Homer The Heretic. Ihmo, it's the most iconic Simpsons episode anyway.

Edit: shit, too late. Talk about redundant post, heh.

Sorry for the delayed reply. Anyway, okay, just let me know if you change your mind and need someone else to do it.
