What is the worst thing someone in the Simpson family ever did?

OJ likely murdering his wife has to be the answer here, right?

Abe Simpson throwing Homer under the bus for the attempted murder of Mr. Burns.

Also possibly Abe Simpson shooting down a German airplane. If he actually did it. (In 1994, not during WW2)

Edit: Oh and I guess Abe Simpson cheating on his fiancé, getting the side woman pregnant, giving up the baby, and keeping everything secret from Homer and his other son until he thought he was on his deathbed.

And then when Abe Simpson told young Homer his mother was dead and never came clean until she showed up again.

Man, Abe sucks. It’s a wonder Homer didn’t stick him in that crooked home he saw on 60 Minutes.

Yeah... When you put it that way Abe is actually a horrific character.

Homer overpolluted the lake causing the US government to isolate and eventually try to destroy all of Springfield with everyone in it.

Homer definitely fucked with multiple timeline branches in one of the earlier Treehouse of Horror episodes when he has the time machine toaster. The ecological impact of wiping out the dinosaurs in one alone alone is pretty significant.

We can't count tree house of horrors episodes.

What do you mean, they have numbers in the episode title

It’s understood that the events of Halloween episodes aren’t canon. They’re like Futurama What If episodes.

It's a joke about counting stuff with numbers in the episode name

There is no singular canon, only what is convenient for the episode. You're right about Treehouse episodes being "less canon" than most others, but there very few things that are permanent in the show that haven't been changed or couldn't be changed in a future episode. So it's a sliding scale of "canonism"

They locked up Hugo and gave him fish heads for food. That's pretty shitty.

Grimey.

Grimes did that to himself. Homer genuinely didn't do anything wrong.

Grimes: you've.. been to out of space? You??

Homer: sureee, you've never been?

This was just sooo good. Feels bad that Grimes just dealt a bad hand in life.

Not the family. But Principal Skinner not showing Chalmers his Aurora borealis that’s situated right in his kitchen is pretty dog.

Lisa giving up, potentially, millions without thinking about her family

We all forgetting Maggie just straight-up murdered someone for trying to take her lollipop?

Homer framed Marge for drunk driving once, dunno if it's the worst but it's pretty bad.

Bart got Milhouse wanted by the FBI
