I remember completely losing it at that because it was so out of place and dumb in a good way.
Well, if ya gonna parody Cape Fear, you might as well throw some slasher references in it.
Bob's one of my favorite character, and I generally judge a season's quality by how it treats him. Of all the characters whose development keeps getting reseted, his is some of the infuriating. An episode where he legit grew a new leaf and even stopped his batshit brother? Oh, now he wants to kill Krusty again. An episode where he even buried the hatchet with Krusty? Oh, now he wants to kill Bart again.

They even made a Bob episode combined with a "Simpsons go to X" episode, where Bob is a mayor in Italy with a waifu and brat. And then theres an episode where they do some horrific face swap with his brother, complete with his brothers face being ripped off.

Putting Bob into Europe isn't even original. One of the very few Simpsons comics I've read had him team up with those two French guys who used Bart for slave labor aeons ago. Because they just happened to run into each other while chasing after Bart.
Simpsons comics might've been a warning for things to come.

The best way to salvage anything from the Simpsons now would be to kill off Lisa.
The show would be 100x better with just Bart and Maggie Having Lisa around gives her brother nothing to do. Every good episode ranked online invariably is half Bart episodes
Why? His character actually grows.
Homer is already enough of a buffoon but loses the opportunity to actually be a Dad if Lisa doesnt need him. Similarly, Marge has nothing really to teach or offer her daughter other than just being bland and inoffensive enough to be a caretaker until shes old enough.
The only thing the show resonates with is with Pacific Northwest hipsters and that should tell you all you need to know about your audience. At one poi t the show was actually mainstream, because the writers actually considered their audience to be normal people.
I remember reading a webpage full of Simpson fan favorite quotes from these people. None of them sounded like they came from the actual show
