    • Trivia
      In high school, Greg Daniels encouraged a bully to sell him his soul for 50 cents, and then convinced classmates to frighten the bully into buying his soul back for an inflated price. Daniels repeated this ploy, but stopped when he realized that the only other person in history who has profited off others' souls was Satan, and that "scared" him.

    Memorable Bart and Lisa story

    Bart sells his soul to Millhouse.

    This is a very strong episode that is quite philosophical in an entertaining way.

    The writers tackle the concept of the soul from several perspectives and do it will some brilliant visual sequences, especially the children and their souls playing together.

    Several characters are used well, particularly Bart, Lisa, and Millhouse. I love the sequence in church and the ending is a great way to complete a memorable arc between Bar and Lisa.

    Generally I find the episode to be darker and more cleverly written than it is funny, but it is a memorable one nonetheless.
