I like the one where the day is told from each of the family members' perpectives. Homer cuts off his thumb, Lisa has "Linguo" for the Science contest, Bart and Millhouse find the stash of fireworks, etc.

That is pretty good one. Below summarizes and gives the lines from the end of the first part-
Homer: Quick, Moe! Marge cut off my thumb.
Moe: No problem. Just stick the ol' eye-gouger in the pickle
brine. That'll keep your thumb fresh and delicious.
Homer: [puts the thumb in the pickled-egg jar, and takes the jar
toward the front door] Thanks, Moe.
Moe: Hey-ya, hey! Ain't you gonna have a beer? [sets a mug on
the bar]
Homer: Well, I really shouldn't, what with my massive blood loss
and all. Although I do like the occasional beer.
[several occasions later]
[drunkenly] Did you ever see that Blue Man Group? Total
rip-off of the Smurfs. And the Smurfs -- they suck!

% Homer tries hitchhiking, but his hitching thumb is the one in the

Homer: Hey, thanks for stopping.
Cletus: Tain't nothing. You and me share a common infirmity. If
anyone ever tells you a hog won't eat a finger, they's
lying. [holds up his left hand, which has two fingers
missing]

Homer: [gasps] Linguo -- dead?
Linguo: Linguo... *is* dead. [fades out]

Those scenes are gold!
