Least Favorite Simpsons Episode
Obviously, inspired by the "Favorites" Thread. Granted, there's not too many I don't like. In fact, I can only think of one episode that really doesn't have much redeeming value to it in my opinion...
Colonel Homer...the one where Homer manages Lurleen Lumpkin. I just didn't find much funny in this one. Interestingly enough, it was written by Groening.

In the last two seasons there have been some chuckle-free episodes. Of course my mind has erased all details of these experiences, so I don't know the episode titles...

From the last few season or so:
The one where they win a trip from an expired box of animal crackers and go to Africa.
Other (hopefully) forgettable episodes are
The one with the tennis players
The one with the Who where the town is split in half
And although I liked the idea of Bart and Milhouse taking over the Androids Dungeon, "Worst Episode Ever" features the unfunniest thing I've even seen: Comic Book Shop Guy dating Agnes Skinner. Double

Most from the first season but the one that sticks out the most in my mind that I absolutely hate is. . .
The one where the real Principal Skinner comes back home. I HAAAATEE this episode, I don't think there is one funny line in the whole thing.

The spinoff episode was pretty bad. From this season, there were a few bad ones, especially the cowboy episode from a few weeks ago. I'm also not a big fan of the period they went through 2 or 3 years ago, where every episode had to end up in a horrible musical number.

I'll second "All Singing All Dancing". There are two thing I don't care for with the Simpsons: Song numbers, and clip shows. Best of both worlds! Although I do like the Paint Your Wagon scene.

Lil' Lisa Slurry
the one where Lisa becomes a vegetarian
the one with Dustin Hoffman as the substitute
and many others
are all great, classic episodes and they are also "Lisa episodes".

The 2 that made me not watch the show anymore.
1st the one where the baseball players appeared. They show Jose Canseco running in to save a kid from a burning house.
2nd one Barry White singing at the end of the show. It didn't help the story, looks like it was put in just to have a star appear in this episode.

The one where they go on the train with the hobo... probably the sickest and stupidest episode ever with that whole sponge bath
sh*t and the 3 super lame shorts.
The singing episode(s), I only recall one which is all singing with reused clips (where Snakes comes in through the window to rob them)
I also pretty much hate the episode with Grimey cause it was too realistic and kinda serves to make you think about how stupid the Simpsons are.
