In (Season 7, Episode 4), The Simpsons explores deep philosophical and theological themes when Bart flippantly sells his soul to Milhouse for $5 after a church prank. The episode is widely considered one of the series' most profound, balancing a dark, existential main plot with a silly B-plot involving Moe's tavern. Plot Summary

The episode begins with Bart tricking the congregation into singing a 17-minute "hymn" called "In the Garden of Eden" (actually Iron Butterfly's "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida").

Bart soon experiences bizarre phenomena: automatic doors at the Kwik-E-Mart won't open for him, his breath doesn't fog up the glass of a freezer, and he can no longer laugh at Itchy & Scratchy .
