No real explaination needed.

'Dental plan / Lisa needs braces' pretty much pips it for me.

nope

the bit when homer is in mr burn's office and he lays on his side and keeps shouting woop wooo woooop wooop woo woooppp

or failing that the episode when homer cant stop screaming is amazing


GIME

'Gime? What is a Gime?' [Reading the 'GYM' board].[Walks inside and realising where he is] 'oh A Gime'.

The Bible; it's the pranksters bible.


best bit

is that line from the Stonecutter's song:
"who holds back the electric car? / who made Steve Guttenberg a star? / We did."


fun with that

when i was in america, i had much fun trying to convince americans that in britain, we pronounce gym "gime". lambs to the slaughter, lemme tell ya.


That first bit is reproduced in the Simpsons Movie

by Grandpa Simpson when he's in the church and goes mental.

FACTOID.


Boo-erns!


...

"Smithers, dismember the corpse and send his widow a corsage..."


Flanders' new house

"Welcome to your master bedroom!"


The one where

Grandpa puts down his newspaper, and Lisa goes "Aah! Phew, I thought Dad had melted".


hahaha yes

I started repeating that over and over the last time things got a bit "digital" when i was away with me band :/


^ Absolutley

Love the bit when he gets the sugar out of his pockets


^ Yip....

I am in total agreement.
'As a matter of fact, I didn't even give you my coat'


best

episode, ever.


...

Yes. Perfectly topped off by "Aww! The Denver Broncos?!"


euuurrrggghh

rake


Apu hits alarm under desk

SILENT ALARM ACTIVATED


homer jumping up and down on a glass bottom boat taunting sharks

"and you call your self the king of the jungle!"

or

"theres on thing his money cant buy"

"whats that dad"

"um...a dinosiaur!"


*dinosaur


In the pretzel wagon episode

at the baseball match and the crowd are throwing pretzels at Mr Burns and then "Hall-of-famer Whitey Ford is on the pitch now... pleading for some kind of sanity" (cut away to crowd) and then you see Whitey unconscious on the ground.

BRILLIANT.


:D

"I never realised how boring this game is"


or

"wow how did you do that?"
"its a flower"


The entirety of the sugar plot

"White gold!... Texas cheese!... sweetener!"

"Those are fabulous prizes!"

"Mother I'm just talking to the sugar man."

"In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the money, then you get the power, then you get the women."

"I've got to guard the sugar, Marge, there are thieves everywhere! Hey pal where did you get the tea for that sugar?" "I nicked it, in that split second when you let your guard down. And I'd do it again."

"Well I may not be the darling of the so-called city fathers..." (and that entire speech is just pure gold)

And then the bee men who speak just like Batman and Robin at the end.

Doesn't last the whole episode, but everything about it is just pure genius.


I'm watching that

RIGHT NOW. Good stuff.

Also:

Hey, McBain. Your shoe's untied.
From here they appear to be tied, but I will go in for a closer look. Upon closer inspection, these appear to be loafers.


^this.

The bit where the English guy climbs out of the sugar saying he nicked it is brilliant. :D


Moleman

"Thank you sir, if only the sugar were as sweet as you"


CHOWDER


2nd the whitey ford bit.

Remember that replaying over in my head for days, kept on cracking up at bad times.

Also:
'hello mama
hello papa
here I am at
camp Grenada'


so many

- when homer sees apu getting it on in the quicky mart cupboard
- when apu shows the a bollywood film with the eye
- mr burns and the spruce moose
- the camp granada bit
- "mcbain to base. under attack by commie nazis"


second the spruce moose

"Hop in!"


This ^^

"I said get in."


flintstones chewable morphine

im with you on this one...or

see.my.vest


"im an amendment to be"

i like to sing this a lot


:D

My gf plays that sometimes and I sing along. I should put it on youtube! Shall I??? We could do others, she has the Simpsons songbook.


I think Ive

just discovered what I want for Xmas.


"BART DO YOU WANT

SOME BROWNIE BEFORE YOU GO TO BED!!!"


That whole episode

or

"200 channels. Nothin' but cats"


doctor zeus doctor zeus!

- 'Prime Minister! Prime Minister? ANNNDYYY!'
- the entireity of the crazy chile episode ie. '...and that talking coyote was just a talking dog' / 'that's right homer!'
- MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE: 'Oh Bart, what is mind? No matter. What is matter? Never mind, oh ho ho'. something about that is genuinely heartwarming.


the french

version of dr zaius is possibly greater

It's a Lenny and Karl moment.

When homer throws pudding in Lenny's eyes ("MY EYES!!!)and Mr. Burns gives him money as his prank monkey. So he does it again. ("WHYYYYYY!!!") He gets more money.

Homer gets carried away and throws more pudding. But not at Lenny...

Mr. Burns: "WHAT ARE YOU DOING! That's Karl! (Genuine sympathy)

He takes Karl over to the eye bath.


I remain convinced

that years from now the Simpsons will be remembered in the same way we think about the Beatles now. Watching the ancient episodes showing on 4 right now, it is like listening to the pre-Revolver stuff. If I'd never seen the electric chair therapy scene before, I'm pretty sure I'd wet myself over it. The trying times post 1971/Season 9 will never overshadow things like A Day In The Life/the Dental Plan episode, nor the simple beauty of the opening chords of Strawberry Fields/Sideshow Bob getting hit by a rake over and over again.


Absolutely

It will remain one of the greatest cultural benchmarks of our time, certainly of the 1990's.


haha

i loved the scene where mr burns opens a secret room in his office, "unleashing the league of evil", but they're all dead, and he's shocked and upset, and then smithers says something along the lines of "even monsters need air, sir".. haha, i thought that was hilarious.


any McBain scene

"Right now I'm thinking about holding another meeting... in bed."

The auction at Krusty's mansion:

Jasper - "Aw, I only brought a dime. I didn't know there'd be pornography."

er..

"IMplosion?!!" :D

I can't think of them now, but in everyday life I'm quoting Simpsons at any opportunity.

I like when the TV execs are explaining 'Police Cops' to Homer :) "We were gonna make a show about badges..." Actually, i like that episode:

You like Thai?
Tie good, you like shirt? :D

"There are three ways to down things, the right way, the wrong way and the MAx Power way"
"Isn't that just the wrong way?"
"Yeah... but faster!"


oh oh oh

and when Homer gets caught in the tar:

"now I'll reach in and pull my legs out"

...

"and now I'll pull my arms out with my face"

:D


^^^

"i cannot avenge my parter's death with this pea-shooter!"


"Bye, book!"

:D

I love McBain.

"The goggles..."


sold!

the max power episode is my favourite, the bit where the judge reads out the other names homer comes up with cracks me right up...

"hercules p. rockerfeller? rembrandt q. einstein? handsome b. wonderful???"

mega, as they say, lolz...


"hi! i'm troy mcclure.

you may remember me from such Driver's Ed films as 'alice's adventures through the windshield glass', and 'the decapitation of larry leftfoot'!"


The whole bit

when they want to go to Duff Gardens and Homer's been eating that mouldy sandwich.

And also when Homer walks into the room and Patti/Selma says "hmm...am I wrong, or did it just get fatter in here?"


The sandwich!!

I can't stay mad at you!


heh

so I says to mabel, I says...


krusty:

"this is for what i did to your fireplace"


Jasper

with his beard in the pencil sharpener


Sideshow Bob

standing on the rakes. For about 5 minutes.


also

the whole Valentine's episode where Lisa breaks Ralph's heart.


So, so many

'fly my pretties, fly...'
'no time for you old man'
'learning to weasel out is what separates us from the animals...'cept the weasel..'


junior campers episode is ace too

"Well if it isn't the leader of the wiener patrol, boning up on his nerd lessons!"

and the whole peanut discussion in Homer's head.

incidentally, just went on wikipedia to get the quotes right and Simpsons is the feature of the day.


I can't believe

only one person has mentioned "RELEASE THE MONKEYS..FLY MY PRETTIES!" *monkeys screaming to their death*...."Continue the research".

Some awesome moments mentioned here, especially the Apu cheating episode, with the walking backwards looking scared and "MMM that's good adultery!"

Ahh, and DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYLLL


Ah yes, and

"Why do you talk like that?"

"I HAD A STROOOOOOOOOKE"


this^^

plus..

Mr Plow

When Lisa goes to college and all the other kids roll down the hill and Ralph is the last one and just collapses down the hill


"it's Lisa,

and she's winning us back!"


CASUAL!?!?!


in the film

it's got to be Ralph - either singing the 21st century fox theme, or saying, "i like men now!". I thought the film was short on "classic" moments (after seeing it 20+ times, spiderpig became the most annoying summer cinema phenomenon...kids would sing along to it at every showing).


20+ times?!

It was barely worth seeing once!


i work

in a cinema


"I wonder if this Homer Nixon is any relation?"

"Unlikely, sir. They both spell and pronounce their names differently"


"see all that stuff inside, homer?

that's why you're robot never worked."


...

*your


"Hello. My name is Mr Burns.

I believe you have a letter for me."
"Okay Mr Burns, what's your first name?"
"I don't know."

"Your tears say more than real evidence ever could."

"That's not enough! We demand MORE ASBESTOS!"


I love that Adultary episode

when Homer is so shocked by what he sees he walks home backards and at one point on stilts. genius!


The way "I don't know"

is phrased is genius!


Homers reaction when

he finds that picture of himself on that japanese washing liquid bottle :)


Fishbulb

Just the word fishbulb


The time travelling

kid and dog

"Quiet you..."


POWERSAUCE!

"Unleash the power of apples!"


"Homer, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"I sure am Marge"

Cut to thought bubble of Homer flying through the streets of a City on a hanglider shooting people with lasers:

"You can run, but you can't GLIDE! U.S.A., U.S.A., U.S.A...."


that was on the other night

i well didnt laught at that, bad humour from recent series :(


' i thought of this

when i realised the fridge was cold '


This seems a suitable place to post some Simpsons hate speech

Ralph Wiggum = NOT FUNNY EVER


...

"My water bowl is empty"


Exactly

NOT FUNNY EVER


that was a Martin quote.

i think it was a reply in the wrong place rather than a rebuttle.


Now Martin - THERE'S a funny character of an equivalent age

They should axe Ralph to leave more lines for Martin
