What is your favorite Sideshow Bob moment? Is it the rakes? The "Le Parallèle" car? Or his eternal grudge against Krusty? (Season 32, Episode 10) This is where it all began
6. The "Death" of Bob: "Funeral for a Fiend" (Season 19, Episode 8) The "Le Parallèle" car
Widely considered one of the best Simpsons episodes of all time, this parody of Cape Fear perfected the "Sideshow Bob formula." It features the Witness Relocation Program (The Thompsons!), the iconic "Die Bart Die" tattoo, and the legendary rake sequence. The nine-rake slapstick gag was originally a "time-filler" that became one of the show's most famous moments.
