It was five years ago, just after the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs bracket was complete that I thought it might be cool to do a The Simpsons Tapped Out bracket. Here we are in the thick of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs again, and it’s time for our fifth TSTO Addicts Bracket Battle!
How much longer EA can keep Tapped Out going is up for debate. But what isn’t debatable is that there is A LOT of content in the rich history of The Simpsons universe still not in our little game. There is so much in fact, that it was hard just to narrow it down to 64 entries to start with. With that in mind, we present to you TSTO Addicts’ Most Desired Episode Content Bracket Battle.
We created a Bracket of 64 awesome episodes that would provide freemium and premium characters, NPCs, skins for existing characters, decorations, and/or buildings.
These 64 episodes from the past 30 seasons will then battle each other in six rounds of head-to-head matchups, that we hope produces the most debate in the comments below. Every Monday over summer, we’ll post that week’s matchups and your votes will determine which episode content advances to the next round, until we’ve crowned “The Most Desired Episode Content” on Monday September 2nd.
General housekeeping rules and guidelines can be seen here in the Week 1 battle.
Here are the results from last week (click here to go to last weeks post):
- S04, E22 (Krusty Gets Kancelled) barely beat S01, E07 (The Call of the Simpsons) by just 2 votes with 50.1% of the vote
- S11, E14 (Alone Again, Natura-Diddily) beat S12, E18 (Trilogy of Errors) with 64% of the votes
- S18, E18 (The Boys of Bummer) beat S20, E03 (Double, Double, Boy in Trouble) with 67% of the votes
- S30, E21 (D’oh Canada) beat S23, E04 (Replaceable You) with 72% of the votes

S11, E14 – Alone Again, Natura-Diddily (February 13, 2000)
S30, E21 – D’oh Canada (April 28, 2019)
Thank you Safi (this has been fun, but it’s definitely made a Tapper think about what Simpsons content they want in TSTO!) 😀🤘
Hey safi, for your next poles, can we do a battle of the bands, i.e. those that appeared – tip, don’t forget Spinal Tap.
And then another for battle of the guest stars.
Thanx for putting this bracket together!
I can’t believe Call of the Simpsons lost. It’s a classic! That was a tough choice, Worker and Parasite was funny (What the Hell was that!?!?!) haha.
I thought way back that human Maude would take it, looks like it is shaping that way!
todays choices were the most difficult ones… 🙁 sad that some lost last week..
All good picks, but once again here are my most wanted characters (in case EA is looking)
Spinal Tap
Doctor Zeus
Mitch Marner
Troy McClure
And the newest add on
Gil Gunderson
Is Weird Al the only “real live person” in the game, excluding the president’s of course.
No, Stephen Hawking, Matt Groening, Jack the Ripper, and the US Presidents.
So there is a chance for Spinal Tap. Granted there are a few other musical acts that some would argue for. Who can forget flaming Moe’s?
I always say, you know you’ve made it when you are featured on the Simpson’s.
J. Edgar Hoover, Geoffrey Chaucer and Oscar Wilde as well.
How quickly we forget. I was wondering if there were some sort of copywrite issue at play here.
If we get the Spinal Taps…we better get their bus. Lol
Oh….i want the Ramones (aka the Rolling Stones) too!
well, to be truthful, some of those are “real DEAD persons” in the game
Maybe there can be a planet of the apes event, where you have to tap every ape from chimpan A to chimpanzee.
That would be act 4 of the Troy McClure event.
Act 3 must be “The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase“ hosted by Troy McClure, who you may remember from such acts as act 2 of the Troy McClure event, and it will feature Chief Wiggum P.I, The Love-matic Grampa, and to make things really hard, we have to tap Ozmodiar the invisible alien whom only Homer can see.
Larry Burns doesn’t usually look like Bette Midler.
The same could be said for Johnny Carson! Lol
Aw man, Trilogy of Error lost 😩
Oh well. Praise to Safi, the Brackets Master! 🙏
