TRIPMASTER MONKEY compiled a “groin-grabbingly transcendent” survey of Great Asian Moments in “Simpsons” History. But these cameos deserve a most honorable mention:

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR III (Season 4): Homer buys a talking Krusty doll from the House of Evil, run by a creepy Asian sage who tells him, “We sell forbidden objects from places men fear to tread. We also sell frozen yogurt, which I call ‘Frogurt’!”’

BART ON THE ROAD (Season 7): Bart delivers “human eyes” as an air courier and speaks Chinese in Hong Kong.

DAS BUS (Season 9): Otto’s school bus ends up in the ocean, where he gets rescued by a Chinese fisherman trolling for slave laborers.

A HUNKA HUNKA BURNS IN LOVE (Season 12): Homer gets a new job as the author of Chinese fortune cookie. Chinatown gags: Store called Toys “L” Us and Bob’s Big Buddha. Shark butt appears on a menu.

SIMPLE SIMPSON (Season 15): Homer becomes a “pie hit man” but agonizes over creaming the Dalai Lama.

HOMER AND NED’S HAIL MARY PASS (Season 16): Homer choreograps victory dances for sports stars, including Yao Ming and Michelle Kwan.

THE PRINCIPAL AND THE PAUPER (Season 9): Principal Skinner has Vietnam flashbacks that reveal his true identity. Our favorite line: “I haven’t seen such unfettered hurly-burly since the Fall of Saigon.”

THE TWISTED WORLD OF MARGE SIMPSON: Marge gets help from the mob for her pretzel-selling business but ends up in a gang war between the mafia and the yakuza.

MARGE IN CHAINS: Springfield is hit with an epidemic of the Osaka Flu, when residents order a TV-advertised product, a Juice Loosener, made in Japan.

LAST EXIT TO SPRINGFIELD: A flashback sequence where a union guy says to Old Man Burns: “You can’t treat the working man this way. One day, we’ll form a union and get the fair and equitable treatment we deserve! Then we’ll go too far, and get corrupt and shiftless, and the Japanese will eat us alive!” Old Man Burns responds, “The Japanese?! Those sandal-wearing goldfish-tenders?” •
