Homer is elected union president.
This is a classic episode full of memorable moments.
The story of Homer's tenure as president has a decent arc with Mr Burns (naturally) a great antagonist, but the structure is too surreal to be taken seriously. In this aspect comes the comedy, which is both prolific and brilliant.
There are too many great jokes to pick favourites, but a few standout moments for me include (from a verbal perspective) the wordplay when Homer thinks Mr Burns is coming on to him and similarly the dialogue from Burns when Homer needs the bathroom. The visual gags I love are everything involving Lisa's braces and Lenny getting a punch to the back of the head.
All the references to literature and pop culture are superb and Lisa's protest song is fantastic.
