Whacking Day is probably the second funniest episode of 'The Simpsons' season 4 which was probably the best 'Simpsons' season. The guest voice of Barry White puts in a fine rap to the episode. And it has one of the best 'Simpsons' lines. When he's starts to introduce Whacking Day, he doesn't know what it is, but when he finds out, he tells the people "You people sicken me!" And the crowd cheer. So it's probably safe to say that whacking day is the second best episode of season four of 'The Simpsons', next to 'Krusty Gets Kancelled.' What also gives it kudos is it's Johnny Tremain homage (one of my favorite books.) So I guess it's pretty funny.
