It’s the 25th anniversary of when the seminal Simpsons episode aired where Lisa choo-choo-chooses Ralph as her Valentine. Here the most memorable moments from that episode!

Valentineless:

This is the pivotal moment when Lisa sees that Ralph didn’t receive ANY cards.

The Gesture:

Lisa makes the fateful decision to give Ralph a valentine.

The Long Walk Home:

Ralph falls for Lisa, which is unfortunate for her, but a blessing for us because their long walk home produced memorable quotes like “The doctor said I wouldn’t have so many nose bleeds if I kept my finger outta there” and “So, do you like…stuff?”

Pinpointing the Second:

After Lisa rejects Ralph live on TV, Bart replays the moment for Lisa on videotape, actually pinpointing the second when Ralph’s heart rips in half.

The Pageant:

Not really Lisa & Ralph related but still memorable! During the President’s Day pageant, Bart dresses up his butt in a Nixon-likeness and moons a group of girls saying “I am not a butt!”

Ralph performs a surprisingly emotional George Washington, impressing Lisa and reducing Groundskeeper Willie to tears.

Let’s Bee Friends:

After the pageant, Lisa gives Ralph a second, more obviously platonic card. And all is right in Springfield.

Mount Rushmore:

An animatronic Mount Rushmore sings lines from “America the Beautiful” forever making us wonder why our school pageant’s never had this kind of amazing technology.
