On a slight variation of the worst episode ever theme, what's the worst subplot ever?

I reckon it's *got* to be the Vincent Price eggkit thing

Oh, that wasn't so bad...I liked the parts where Lisa and Marge argued about what to do (what about clay, do you have a problem with clay?) and they called for the replacement feet.

I certainly can't think of a worse one. The doorbell subplot from Maximum Homerdrive comes close, but the whole scene with Nelson, Gill and the flaming dog-poop saves it.

Can't argue with the eggkit. It's a freakin' EGGKIT!

Really? Well, I guess this sort of explains our argument...the flaming poop might be funny but I wouldn't say it would save an otherwise lacking subplot. So is it safe to say you generally don't like Marge/Lisa subplots?

They seem too much like filler. I mean, a DOORBELL?

In aabf13, they did kind of hint at the fact that marge and lisa needed mroe adventures - perhaps they wanted to show why they typicalyl didn't get subplots, but i did like that one. it certainly wasn't out of character for either of them, at least.

That was the only highlight of an otherwise dull episode for me.
