"You want the truth? You can't handle the truth. No truth-handler, you. Bah! I deride your truth-handling abilities."
Simpsons Top 100 Countdown
#44 Sideshow Bob Roberts
Season 6, Episode 5 (Guide form the Simpsons Archive)
Sideshow Bob manages to orchestrate a grassroots campaign to get out of jail and catapulted into the Republican nominee for mayor by using a talk radio host. He manages to defeat Quimby by a landslide, but the Simpson kids are suspicious. After investigating, they discover that the dead had voted for Bob, which lead to his amazingly lopsided victory (that’s another difference between the Simpsons and real life – in real life, the dead vote Democrat). They expose his fraud and send him back to jail, with Quimby returning to his old job (although the episode does not specifically say as much). Memorable moments include Lenny’s and Carl’s reactions to Birch Barlow, the fireworks, Homer not getting Sideshow Bob, St. Elmo’s Fire, Dr. Demento, Gripe at the Mayor Night, Bart’s objection to free elections in South Africa, spinning newspapers, Quimby blowing, Moe’s rise to action, the water cooler and the human touch, lowest common denominator, stuck-up Riverdale punks, the Quimby commercial paid for by the Mayor Quimby for Mayor Mayoral Committee, the mummy’s mystical journey, Bob visiting old people, the Sideshow Bob commercial, extra drousy formula, Les Winen, budget question, people voting, Bob’s victory speech, the rapture, Grandpa’s sympathy for his son’s family, the special request of the mayor’s office re: Bart, the Flintstone phone, voting records, the parking garage (especially its name), Homer breaking up the scene, the Big Bopper, Lionel Hutz, Bob’s truth rant and confession, the arrest of Bob, and rowing.
