YMMV / The Simpsons S4 E18 "So It's Come to This: A Simpsons Clip Show"

• Epileptic Trees: At the end of "Homer The Heretic", God implies that Homer will die in six months time, and decides to tell him the meaning of life. In this episode (which aired around six months after "Homer The Heretic"), Homer falls into a coma. Because of this, a number of fans believed that Homer didn't wake up from that coma, and the rest of the series is Homer's dying dream.
• First Installment Wins: Even for a Clip Show that was quasi-mandatory, it's still a highly-regarded episode and the most liked of all of the show's clip shows. This may be because not only was it a nice mix of funny and heartwarming moments, but the following clip show was a near-plotless Bottle Episode with very little jokes and a ton of Recycled Animation and "All Singing, All Dancing" and "Gump Roast" aired during the show's infamous slide into Seasonal Rot. It helps that this one has a fair amount of new material, an actual plot and Bart's beer can prank is listed among the funniest moments of the show.
• Squick: One of Homer’s pranks is leaving a carton of milk next to the furnace for six weeks and then planting it in the fridge for Bart to drink, which he does. Marge is later seen scraping the rest of the congealed mess out.
