Marge: I don't know.... I just think they're neat.
Bart: Mom, I'm having some side effects from the dope.
Marge: It's not dope!
Bart: All I know is, is that I woke up and my testicles won't fit in my pants.
Marge: Bart, get those oranges out of your pants!!! Back in the lunches they go.

Homer: Oh, look at me! I'm making people happy! I'm the Magical Man from Happy-Land, in a gumdrop house on Lollipop Lane!
Bart: After breakfast, me and Milhouse are going down to the ravine. We got a tip from a six-year-old that there's a dead Martian down there.
Lisa: And I'm going to the park to jam with "The Little White Girls Blues Quartet." Wanna come with me, Daddy-O?
Homer: I'd love to, honey, but Daddy has to go to a beer-drinking contest today.
Bart: Think you'll win?
Homer: Son, when you participate in sporting events, it's not whether you win or lose: it's how drunk you get.
Bart: Gotcha.
Abe: Bart, I'm having palpitations!
Bart: Can't tie up the line, Grampa.
Milhouse: Bart is this like the time Santas Little Helper ate my goldfish and you tried to cover it up by saying I didn't HAVE a fish? Why did I have the BOWL, Bart? Why did I have the bowl?
Marge: When you're picking a lemon from the lemon tree you're drinking springfield, when you're wearing your cap, you're wearing springfield, when you eat a fish you're eating-
Bart: Mom, when you tell this story you're boring springfield!
Bart: Ah, it's a beautiful day, Milhouse, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and the bees are trying to have sex with them...... well, as is my understanding.
Bart: Soul? You believe in that junk?
Milhouse: Why would they lie, what would they have to gain!?
Bart: The soul is something made up to scare kids.... like the boogie man...........or Michael Jackson!
Homer: Wait a minute, wait a minute, honey, you mean to tell me you're never going to eat meat again?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Porkchops?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Bacon?
Lisa: No!
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: Dad! It all comes from the same animal!
Homer: (scornful laugh) Yeah right! hehe, a wonderful, maaaaaagical, animal!
Lisa: Dad can't you hold some sort of party where you don't serve meat?
Homer: Yeah right Lisa, if I went to a barbeqcue and they didn't serve meat I'd be like, 'Yo Goober, where's the meat!', see honey, you can't win friends with salad.
Homer: No! Don't take me to prison, they pee in a cup and throw it on you! ........I saw it in a movie once.
Homer: Oh, everything's cruel according to you. Keeping him chained up in the back yard is cruel. Pulling on his tail is cruel. Yelling in his ears is cruel. Everything is cruel. Well, excuse me if I'm cruel!
Homer: (talking to toy Beatle Bobble head things) Oooooooh looooook at me, my name's Michael Jackson, I own allllllllll your songs, loooooooosers!
Marge: Homer, did you eat my whole pan of brownies?
Bart: Uh oh. You're in for it now, Dad.
Homer: Marge, I'm feeling a lot of shame right now.
Marge: I'm hearing that you feel a lot of shame.
Homer: And I feel that you hear my shame.
Marge: I'm feeling annoyance and frustration, but also tolerance.
Homer: I feel validated by that.
Marge: Good! I'm glad we had this talk.
Homer: Me too. [walks off whistling]
Bart: [dumps money on counter] I want to buy a copy of Bonestorm. Here's 99 cents.
Comic guy: [sighs] Allow me to summarize the proposed transaction: you wish to purchase Bonestorm for 99 cents. Net profit to me, negative $59. [opens cash register] Oh, oh please, take my $59. I don't want it. It's yours. [Bart reaches as if to do so] Eh, eh, eh -- it seems we are unfamiliar with sarcasm. I shall close the register at this point [does so] and state that 99 cents is the rental price.
Bart: Oh, then may I please rent it? Please?
Comic guy: No you may not. I am all out. Though I do have a surprising abundance of Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge.
:laughing:
Little Steven 17th March 2008, 04:50 PM Homer: (Shaking his hand at the ceiling) Oh, God...why do you mock me so?
Marge: That's not God, it's a waffle
(She gets the waffle down with a broom, Homer catches it and eats it)
Homer: Mmmmmmm, Sacrilicious...
There's so many, but that's probably my favourite...Maybe...
Homer: Uh! I'm never eating Chili again. (Goes giddy) Ooooh, Chili!
Little Steven 19th March 2008, 09:11 PM Why didn't Homer become a poet?
There was once a rapping tomato
That's right, I said a rapping tomato
He rapped all day from April to May
And, guess what? It was me
lonniehunnie 23rd March 2008, 11:46 PM Ralph Wiggum(to Lisa Simpson when walking her home from school): Soooo ... you like ... stuff?
MaryLiz 29th March 2008, 03:33 PM Homer: "hmmm.....to continue press any key....Where's the Anykey?
RequiemNocturne 29th March 2008, 05:41 PM Oh my, love love love the Simpsons!
Grandpa: My Homer is not a communist. He may be a liar, a pig, an idiot, a communist, but he is not a porn star!
Homer: (Singing) I am so smart! I am so smart! S-M-R-T! S-M-R-T! I mean, S-M-A-R-T!
Sideshow Bob: Because you need me, Springfield. Your guilty conscience may force you to vote Democratic, but deep down inside you secretly long for a cold-hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals, and rule you like a king. That's why I did this: to protect you from yourselves.
Bart: Hey, Mom! Dad's in a mental institution!
Marge: Oh my God... Mother was right!
Scully: Homer, we're going to ask you a few simple yes or no questions. Do you understand?
Homer: Yes. (lie dectector blows up)
Homer: I'm not normally a religious man, but if you're up there, save me, Superman!
FBI man 1: Tell you what, Mr. Simpson, from now on your name is Homer Thompson,at Terror Lake.Let's just practice a bit, hmmmm? So when I say hello Mr. Thompson, you say hi.
Homer: Check!
FBI man 1: Hello, Mr. Thompson.
[Homer stares blankly]
FBI man 1: [pause]
FBI man 1: Now, remember, your name is Homer Thompson.
Homer: I gotcha!
FBI man 1: Hello, Mr. Thompson.
[again Homer stares blankly]
FBI man 1: [FBI men stare at each other]
[hours pass by]
FBI man 1: [frustrated] Argh... Now when I say "Hello Mr. Thompson" and press down on your foot, you smile and nod.
Homer: No problem.
[stepping hard on Homer's foot]
FBI man 1: Hello, Mr. Thompson.
[Homer stares blankly again for a few seconds]
Homer: [whispering to the FBI man next to him] I think he's talking to you.
[Bart has difficulty sleeping, his bedroom door opens, a sharp knife appears and man charges into the room casting a scary shadow on the ceiling]
Homer: [holding a large knife upside-down] BARTYOUWANTSOMEBROWNIEBEFOREYOUGOTOBED?
Bart: AAAAAHHHHH!
Homer: [kneels down and scary shadow disappears] Come on, let me cut you a brownie while they're still hot.
Bart: [as Homer cuts the brownies] Dad, I'm kinda edgy right now. I'd appreciate you not coming into my room screaming and brandishing the butcher knife.
Homer: Why?
[Homer looks at the large knife he is holding]
Homer: Oh, right. The *Sideshow Bob* thing, oh I'm sorry boy.
[Homer kisses Bart and leaves the room. Seconds later, Homer bursts into the room again wearing a white hockey mask and holding a switched on electric chainsaw, which he holds up]
Homer: BARTYOUWANTTOSEEMYNEWCHAINSAWANDHOCKEYMASK?
Bart: AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Homer: [turning off the chainsaw and lifting the hockey mask] Oh, sorry. What am I thinking?
Homer: Wow! How do you do that thing with your feet?
Man: The moonwalk?
Homer: No, that thing with your feet!
Man: I'm only here voluntarily.
Homer: You are!? Why?
Man: Well, back in 1979, I got real depressed when my `Off the Wall'
album just got one lousy Grammy nomination.
Homer: [on the phone with Bart]
I'm bringing Michael Jackson home to stay with us for a few days.
[aside] Isn't that cute, he's heard of you.
[to phone] Now make sure we have plenty of cold cuts, and put some
beer on ice...
Man: Um, Homer, I'm a vegetarian, and I don't drink.
Homer: Are you sure you're here voluntarily?
Man: You seem like a nice guy. Why'd they put you in here?
Homer: 'Cause I wore a pink shirt.
Man: I understand. People thought I was crazy for the way I dressed...
Homer: What'd you wear?
Man: One white glove, covered with rhinestones.
Homer: [crosses his eyes and does that `bebebebebebe' thing with his lips]
Bart: You're nothing but a big fat mental patient.
Man: You'd be amazed how often I hear that.
Homer: Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.
Mr. Burns: I don't like being outdoors Smithers, for one thing, there's too many fat children.
Homer: "You know, the one with all the well meaning rules that don't work out in real life, uh, Christianity"
Homer: Please don't eat me! I have a wife and kids. Eat them!
Marge: I've brought somebody to help you.
Homer: Is it Batman?
Marge: It's a scientist.
Homer: Batman's a scientist?
Marge: It's NOT Batman!
Homer: Mmmmm... 64 slices of American cheese. 64 (munch munch munch)... 63 (munch munch munch) (cut to much later)
Homer: 2... (munch munch munch) ... 1 (munch munch munch)
Marge: Homer, have you been up all night eating cheese?
Homer: I think I'm blind.
Mr. Burns: I'll keep it short and sweet -- Family. Religion. Friendship. These are the three demons you must slay if you wish to succeed in business.
Mr Burns: This house has quite a long and colorful history. It was built on an ancient Indian burial ground, and was the setting of Satanic rituals, witch-burnings, and five John Denver Christmas specials.
Mr. Burns: Smithers, there's a rocket in my pocket.
I especially love Homerīs dialogs with his brain:
Homer: Aw, twenty dollars! I wanted a peanut!
Homer's Brain: Twenty dollars can buy many peanuts!
Homer: Explain how!
Homer's Brain: Money can be exchanged for goods and services!
Homer: Woo-hoo!
Homer: To find Flanders, I have to think like Flanders.
Homer's brain: I'm a big four-eyed lame-o and I wear the same stupid sweater every day and...
Homer: The Springfield river!
Big brother representative: "Now, Mr. Simpson, may I ask why you're here?"
Homer's brain: "Don't say revenge. Don't say revenge." Homer: "Ummm... revenge?"
Homer's brain: "Okay, that's it. I'm outta here." (step step step step step...slam)
Homer: "Okay, brain. You don't like me, and I don't like you, but let's get through this thing and then I can continue killing you with beer."
Homer's Brain: "It's a deal!"
Homer: Will you knock it off, I can't hear myself think!
[the music stops]
Brain: I want some peanuts.
Homer: That's better!
Burns: Who the devil are you?
Brain: Don't panic. Just come up with a good story.
Homer: My name is Mr. Burns.
Brain: D'oh!
Lisa : Dad, why are you singing?
Brain: Tell a lie, tell a lie.
Homer: Um, because I have a small role in a broadway musical. It's not much, but it's a start.
Brain: Bravo. [sarcastic clapping]
Homer: All right, Brain, it's all up to you. If you don't think of whatit is, we'll lose Marge forever.
Brain: Eat the pudding eat the pudding eat the pudding eat the pudding eat the pudding eat the pudding eat the pudding eat the pudding.....
:laughing::laughing:
Little Steven 29th March 2008, 05:49 PM Top ****e!!!!!
SFIEEH 29th March 2008, 08:02 PM HAHAHA i LOVE the simpsons!!!
Homer: All right, Brain, it's all up to you. If you don't think of whatit is, we'll lose Marge forever.
Brain: Eat the pudding eat the pudding eat the pudding eat the pudding eat the pudding eat the pudding eat the pudding eat the pudding.....

RequiemNocturne 2nd April 2008, 01:02 PM The wise, noble and inspiring words of Charles Montgomery Burns, who is (along with Sideshow Bob) my favourite Simpsons- character.
Mr. Burns: I could crush him like an ant. But it would be too easy. No, revenge is a dish best served cold. I'll bide my time until ... Oh, what the hell. I'll just crush him like an ant.
Mr. Burns: Do my worst, eh? Smithers, release the robotic Richard Simmons.
Mr. Burns: What good is money if it can't inspire terror in your fellow man?
Mr. Burns: Smithers, I've been thinking. Is it wrong to cheat to win a million-dollar bet?
Smithers: Yes, sir.
Mr. Burns: Let me rephrase that. Is it wrong if I cheat to win a million-dollar bet?
Smithers: No, sir. Who would you like killed?
Mr. Burns: I'm looking for something in an attack dog. One who likes the sweet gamey tang of human flesh. Hmmm, why here's the fellow ... Wiry, fast, firm, proud buttocks. Reminds me of me.
Mr. Burns: Well, that's odd ... I've just robbed a man of his livelihood, and yet I feel strangely empty. Tell you what, Smithers - have him beaten to a pulp.
Mr. Burns: Just give the great unwashed a pair of oversized breasts and a happy ending, and they'll 'oink' for more every time.
Mr. Burns: Smithers, for attempting to kill me, I'm giving you a five percent pay cut!
Mr. Burns: Bad corpse! Stop ... scaring ... Smithers!
Mr. Burns: Ah, fresh victims for my ever growing army of the undead.
Smithers: Sir, you have to let go of the button.
Mr. Burns: Oh, son of a bi-
Mr. Burns: This anonymous clan of slack-jawed troglodytes has cost me the election, and yet if I were to have them killed, I would be the one to go to jail. That's democracy for you.
Smithers: You are noble and poetic in defeat, sir.
Mr. Burns: Nonsense! Dogs are idiots! Think about it, Smithers. If I came into your house and started sniffing at your crotch and slobbering all over you, what would you say?
Smithers: If you did it, sir?
[Stone flies through Mr. Burns' office window]
Mr. Burns: Look Smithers, a bird has become petrified and lost its sense of direction.
Mr. Burns: Here's a phone. Call somebody who cares.
Mr. Burns: Before you begin, let me make one thing clear to you. I want your legal advice, I even pay for it.
[building]
Mr. Burns: But to me you're all vipers! You live on personal injury, you live on divorces, you live on pain and misery...!
[calms down]
Mr. Burns: But I'm rambling. Anybody want any coffee?
Lawyer: I'll have some coffee.
Mr. Burns: Want it black, don't you? Black like your heart! It's so hard for me to listen to you...
[shouts]
Mr. Burns: I hate you all so much!
[calms down]
Mr. Burns: I'm sorry, it's my problem, I'll deal with it. Please continue.
Lawyer: If you offer Mr. Simpson a token sum, say a couple of thou, he'll be so dazzled he'll sign anything you shove under his nose.
Mr. Burns: Oh, brilliant! A cash settlement...
[shouts]
Mr. Burns: I could have figured that out, you buttoned-down maggot!
Lawyer: Do you have any cream?
Mr. Burns: Oh yes, of course. Where are my manners?
Mr. Burns: Hmmm. . . eternal happiness for one dollar? I'd rather keep the dollar.
Jackie Bouvier: I swear, Monty: you are the devil himself!
Mr. Burns: Heh, I -- WHO TOLD YOU......??
Mr. Burns: Beep! Beep! Out of my way! I'm a motorist!
Mr. Burns: Clinking, clavering cacaphony of collisionous cogs and cam shifts... take that!
Mr. Burns: Now let's burn rubber, baby!
Mr. Burns: Oooh, the Germans are mad at me... I'm so scared! Oooooh, the Germans...Uh oh...The Germans are coming after me... Oh, don't let the Germans come after me... Oh, the Germans are coming after me... No, they're so big and strong... Protect me from the Germans!
Mr. Burns: Hello, boils and ghouls. I am the Crypt Keeper. Or should I say Master of Scary-Monies?
Mr. Burns: (singing) See... my... Vest, see my vest, made from real gorilla chest....
Mr. Burns: Thank you, come again! Smithers, release the hounds.
Mr. Burns: And now that I am back to normal I don't bring love. I bring hate, fear and
Dr. Nick Riviera: Time for your booster!
Mr. Burns: Good morning starshine...
Mr. Burns: Oh, Smithers, I was wrong to play God. Life is precious, not a thing to be toyed with. Now take out that brain and flush it down the toilet.
Mr. Burns: Hmmm... who's that goat-legged fellow? I like the cut of his jib...
Smithers: Er, Prince of Darkness, sir, he's your 11 o'clock.
(Filling out doctor's form)
Mr. Burns: "Cause of parents death?" (dark voice) They got in my way....
Mr. Burns: Be gone from my sight!
Tony R 2nd April 2008, 02:35 PM Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful stuff.
My favourite episode was on last night, Cape Feare.
0w6L93kD3xw
And the best bit is when the Witness Protection Program are trying to give Homer his new name of Mr Thompson and he just can't get it.
FBI man 1: Tell you what, Mr. Simpson, from now on your name is Homer Thompson,at Terror Lake.Let's just practice a bit, hmmmm? So when I say hello Mr. Thompson, you say hi.
Homer: Check!
FBI man 1: Hello, Mr. Thompson.
[Homer stares blankly]
FBI man 1: [pause]
FBI man 1: Now, remember, your name is Homer Thompson.
Homer: I gotcha!
FBI man 1: Hello, Mr. Thompson.
[again Homer stares blankly]
FBI man 1: [FBI men stare at each other]
[hours pass by]
FBI man 1: [frustrated] Argh... Now when I say "Hello Mr. Thompson" and press down on your foot, you smile and nod.
Homer: No problem.
[stepping hard on Homer's foot]
FBI man 1: Hello, Mr. Thompson.
[Homer stares blankly again for a few seconds]
Homer: [whispering to the FBI man next to him] I think he's talking to you.
[FBI man gives up]
Sheer perfection.
RequiemNocturne 2nd April 2008, 03:21 PM Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful stuff.
My favourite episode was on last night, Cape Feare.
Thatīs also my favourite. This one and Homerīs Phobia, I think.:happy:
"Stand still, there's a spark in your hair!"
- "Get it, get it, get it!"
ALyssa Fuller 6th April 2008, 04:37 AM Homer: Wow! How do you do that thing with your feet?
Man: The moonwalk?
Homer: No, that thing with your feet!
Man: I'm only here voluntarily.
Homer: You are!? Why?
Man: Well, back in 1979, I got real depressed when my `Off the Wall'
album just got one lousy Grammy nomination.
^that sounds familiar. :wink::happy:^
Bart: Soul? You believe in that junk?
Milhouse: Why would they lie, what would they have to gain!?
Bart: The soul is something made up to scare kids.... like the boogie man...........or Michael Jackson!
:mellow::mellow::mellow:
Homer: [on the phone with Bart]
I'm bringing Michael Jackson home to stay with us for a few days.
[aside] Isn't that cute, he's heard of you.
[to phone] Now make sure we have plenty of cold cuts, and put some
beer on ice...
Man: Um, Homer, I'm a vegetarian, and I don't drink.
Homer: Are you sure you're here voluntarily?
:laughing::laughing:I love that!
Michael was a guest on The Simpsons once, right?
Man: You seem like a nice guy. Why'd they put you in here?
Homer: 'Cause I wore a pink shirt.
Man: I understand. People thought I was crazy for the way I dressed...
Homer: What'd you wear?
Man: One white glove, covered with rhinestones.
Homer: [crosses his eyes and does that `bebebebebebe' thing with his lips
:lol2::laughing::laughing:
Amanda-x 6th April 2008, 05:00 AM Bart: What the - FAMILY!
From the episode where Bart becomes fat and has to go to "rehab".
Jessy 14th April 2008, 09:36 AM I just saw an episode the other day with Ricky Geravis in it... it was soo funny!
Tony R 14th April 2008, 10:14 AM Ricky's my hero!
But I didn't love his Simpsons episode (we wrote it as well) as much as his Office / Extras stuff.
Jessy 14th April 2008, 10:36 AM I thought his lame joke was so funny... the genie and the 3 wishes but the wife would get double hahahaha.
Little Steven 14th April 2008, 11:05 AM Ricky's my hero!
But I didn't love his Simpsons episode (we wrote it as well) as much as his Office / Extras stuff.
What?
All of us?
Tony R 14th April 2008, 11:21 AM What?
All of us?
Of course not, you'd have remembered. Just me & him.
Jessy 14th April 2008, 11:25 AM im confused :( lol
Tony R 14th April 2008, 11:32 AM It's Steve, spamming threads again. I apologise on his behalf.
Anyhoo, that's a side salad.
What are your favourite Simpsons songs.
The best has to be Mr Burns' See My Vest. I cant find the actual clip, but this'll do for now
qsFHEK_o9U8
Jessy 14th April 2008, 11:40 AM SEE MY VEST! SEE MY VEST!!! SEE MY VEST!!!!!!!!
I love in the Laddie episode when Homer goes, "There, there... shut up boyyy" in the kind sweet voice when Bart is crying. It cracks me up!
Tony R 14th April 2008, 11:45 AM Yes, I remember. I love Homer's voice when he makes insults sound natural. He's said some killer things to Marge over the years.
"Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand"
Anyway, we're not giving Flanders enough credit here...
t5cvPeoM6xo
Little Steven 14th April 2008, 11:50 AM ^^:laughing:
"Stupid sexy Flanders"...
Tony R 14th April 2008, 11:52 AM Its a move I perform for my wife on a regular basis (I ain't joking here, and I'm usually naked).
This has to be in my Top 3 quotes
Homer: I saw this movie about a bus that had to SPEED around a city, keeping its SPEED over fifty, and if its SPEED dropped, it would explode! I think it was called, 'The Bus That couldn't Slow Down.'
Amanda-x 15th April 2008, 03:27 AM ^ Lol, I have never heard that one. But it sounds hilarious!
Tony R 15th April 2008, 10:14 AM HOMER " Hello my name is Mr Burns, i believe you have a letter for me"
POST OFFICE GUY "Ok Mr Burns, what's your first name"
HOMER " I don't know" "DOH!!!!"
-------------
Grampa to his Aisan care home worker
Carer: "Mr Simpson you should be in the home."
Grandpa: "Thank you Ping Pong"
Carer: "My name is Craig
Grandpa: "Suuure it is."
------------------------
And of course this classic from one of my favourites 'Lisa The Vegetarian'
Homer: Are you saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal.
Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.
Little Steven 15th April 2008, 12:06 PM I find just about everything Grandpa says to be just hillarious, but it's the delivery that makes it funny"
Like in Grandpa Vs Sexual Inadequacy
When he's asking Homer what the problem is and he finally gets to "ssssseeeeeeeeexxxxxxxxxxx"...always makes me laugh out loud.
Tony R 15th April 2008, 01:19 PM ^^ Indeed - his voice is amazing.
This one has to be listened to also.
Superintendant Chalmers is introducing Skinner and his mum in a talent show and introduces them as..
"SKIIINNNNEEEERRRR and Mrs SKIIINNNNEEEERRRR!"
Genius writing.
Ellie 15th April 2008, 01:26 PM The Homer Bad Man epiosde always reminds me of the MJ trial/allegations news coverage:
Of course, there's no way to see into the Simpson home without
some kind of infrared heat-sensitive camera. So, let's turn it
on.
[screen shows blue house, orange Simpsons watching TV]
Now, this technology is new to me, but...I'm pretty sure that's
Homer Simpson in the oven, rotating slowly.
[closeup of turkey]
His body temperature has risen to over 400 degrees -- he's
literally stewing in his own juices.
[in the studio]
Now, here are some results from our phone-in
poll: 95% of the people believe Homer Simpson is guilty. Of
course, this is just a television poll which is not legally
binding, unless proposition 304 passes. And we all pray it will.
Tony R 15th April 2008, 01:29 PM Love it! Especially from a Fox Network program!
Holly 15th April 2008, 01:34 PM Homer: "You know, the one with all the well meaning rules that don't work out in real life, uh, Christianity"
Ahahahah :laughing:
Ellie 15th April 2008, 01:36 PM I don't think Fox interfere much with The Simpsons. The show makes them too much money for them to be concerned with a light jabbing every now and then.
RequiemNocturne 15th April 2008, 02:49 PM Does anyone know the Mr. Spritz Goes to Washington-episode? How they poke fun at the Republican Party and the biased right-wing propaganda machinery that is Fox News is bloody hilarious.
Mr. Burns: Welcome, fellow Republicans. To start off tonight's agenda, brother Hibbert will report on our efforts to rename everything after Ronald Reagan.
Hibbert: All Millard Fillmore schools are now Ronald Reagans. The Mississippi River is now the Mississippi Reagan.
Dracula: And my good friend Frankenstein is now FrankenReagan. Blah!
Mr. Burns: Excellent.
Bob Dole: Maybe Bob Dole should run. Bob Dole thinks Bob Dole should run. Actually Bob Dole just likes hearing Bob Dole talk about Bob Dole. Bob Dole!
In a TV debate between the two candidates:
Reporter: Welcome to Fox News, your voice for evil. Tonight we'll be interviewing the top two candidates for Springfield's 24th congressional district. For the Republicans, beloved children's entertainer, Krusty the Clown!
http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f330/swanheart777/MrSpritz_1024Kopie.gif
And for the Democrats.....* scornful tone* this guy.
http://www.truthdig.com/images/eartothegrounduploads/simpsons_fnc_220.jpg
Armstrong: "I have a name!"
Reporter: "Yes, I'm sure you do comrade. I do appreciate you're being here, you're usually so mired in sleaze, it must be an effort to come down to the studio."

Little Steven 15th April 2008, 03:13 PM I don't think Fox interfere much with The Simpsons. The show makes them too much money for them to be concerned with a light jabbing every now and then.
They're not allowed to.
Fox are legally not allowed to touch The Simpsons. They were so successful in the beginning, and Fox wanted to keep it so badly, that the contract that was negotiated stated that Rupert Murdoch and Fox were not allowed to interfere. Period.
A few years ago, Fox nearly sued The Simpsons (I forget which episode it was for), until they realised it was stupid to essentially sue themselves. It's like moving money from one pocket to another.
But, anyways, how cool is that?
The Simpsons is more powerful than the guy who owns 75% of the world's media.
Killer Queen 19th April 2008, 03:53 AM There are so many great quotes in The Simpsons, too many to list I think. Such a brilliantly written show.
I've been told I can do good impressions of Bart and Nelson, btw. :yes: I used to entertain my son with "Don't have a cow, maaaaan", "Eat my shorts man" "It wasn't me, you can't prove anything" and "HA HA!!" :wild: :laugh:
ChrissyLuvsMJ 19th April 2008, 04:07 AM I don't like the Simpsons. I had to watch it in order to watch Celebrity Expose! Never liked it!
mjadoreyou 19th April 2008, 04:53 AM I love it when bart calls Mo's tavern
http://youtube.com/watch?v=GQQiFp1z0UM
Tony R 19th April 2008, 09:01 AM I also love the unrequited love between Smithers & Mr Burns.
Burns: Smithers there's a rocket in my pocket
Smithers: You don't have to tell me sir.
Burns: What would you do if I came into your house and started sniffing at your crotch?
Smithers: If you did it sir?
Burns (when he's in love with Marge): I has that dream last night, you know the one where they fly in through the window?
Smithers imagines a naked Mr Burns flying in....
Little Steven 19th April 2008, 04:05 PM I don't like the Simpsons. I had to watch it in order to watch Celebrity Expose! Never liked it!
You're the first person I've ever come across who doesn't like The Simpsons.
Seriously.
:ohmy:
Killer Queen 19th April 2008, 07:35 PM I've never known anyone who doesn't like The Simpsons either. And I mean, anyone. :ohmy: Well there's always a first time for everything. :laugh:
MJJ'slilgrl 5th May 2008, 09:37 PM I don't really like them that much either. Well, it can get pretty boring when your baby sister has to watch it every second of the day! She walks up to you with a case, saying "D'oh!" It's sweet. But there's only certain ones I don't like: The movie (everyday!) and all of season 3 (except the MJ one) Other than that, they're great!

You don't like season 3????
That's the second best season (behind season 6)
JasonAW 7th May 2008, 11:57 PM I am currently watching my Simpsons DVDs seasons 1 - 10, plus movie at the moment (I don't have anything better do on a hot sunny day lol). My all time favourite is the episode with Michael...
MJ: Hi, I'm Michael Jackson, from The Jacksons
Homer: I'm Homer Simpson, from The Simpsons
Little Steven 8th May 2008, 12:06 AM ^^
I'll probably do the same when the sun goes in for the summer (!)
One of my favourite lines is from Wiggum
"Sarah. Ralphy. It's me-Chief Wiggum"...
Subtle. But, thats what makes it so great.
Chell 9th May 2008, 03:29 PM Favorite one EVER
Homer : I am so smart! I am so smart! S-M-R-T .... I mean S-M-A-R-T!
:lmao:
MJJ'slilgrl 9th May 2008, 08:41 PM :ohmy:

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like season 6 after watching it all day, every day for two months! And I mean this literally
Little Steven 9th May 2008, 09:52 PM ^^^
I wouldn't do that though...
You don't have to watch it with her all the time, do you?
Jessy 10th May 2008, 05:21 PM I disagree, season 6 is my favourite and I actually DO watch season 6 on rotate every single night when I go to bed. I like them MORE and I can quote each episode almost word for word!
MJJ'slilgrl 10th May 2008, 08:09 PM No, but still, she watches it in the kitchen, when I'm doing my chores, and mum's cooking, and we're not gonna exactly leave her alone in the living-room. So...I can't help but listen to it.

cool quotes btw...

Tony R 22nd July 2008, 09:17 AM Classic line in last night's episode
Chief Wiggum and the Simpsons climb up a sewer pipe that leads into Mr Burns' office..
Burns: What are you doing in my corpse pipe
Wiggum: Mr Burns, you're under arrest
Burns: Did I say 'corpse pipe'? I meant...innocence tube.
Jessy 4th August 2008, 09:17 AM Flanders: "well my family and i cant live in good intentions, can we marge!!!!!!!!"
"Do I hear the sound of butting in? It's gotta be lisa simpson, the answer to springfields question that NOBODY ASKED!"
"As for you, I don't know you but I'm sure YOURE a jerk!"

Blackat 12th February 2010, 10:32 PM My favourite quote from when the Simpsons used to be a show with heart -
Homer: I've got a problem. As soon as you stop this car, I'm gonna hug you, and kiss you, and then I'll never be able to let you go.
JasonAW 14th February 2010, 12:48 PM Just because it is valentine's day:

Homer: Bart I need some lucky numbers fast, How old are you? And whats your birthday? No kidding . . . And whats Lisa's birthday? You dont know your sisters birthday, what kind of brother are you?!
Mr Burns: Dogs are idiotts. Think about it Smithers, if I came into your house and started sniffing your crotch and slobering all over your face what would you say?
Smithers: Hmm if you did it sir?
:lol:

Bart (when he's doing a segment on "Kidz News"): Joe Banks, 82 years young, has come to this pond everyday for the past 17 years to feed the ducks. But last month Joe made a discovery: the ducks were gone. Some say the ducks went to Canada, others say Toronto. And some people think Joe used to sit down there near those ducks. But it could be that there's just no room, in this modern world, for an old man and his ducks.

That's because from seasons 1 -10, the show was focused on storylines that actually followed through and didn't randomly jump from one insane event to another, and above all, heart and moral. When the Simpsons could actually make you cry, make you happy...when it meant something and it wasn't trying to be an extremely unfunny, Family Guy knock off.
The new episodes prove that if you squeeze a whole bunch of jokes into half an hour, slap a plot onto the top of it, you've got a show that doesn't even begin to live up to it's former standards. But then again, kids today have the attention span of a goldfish so I guess it doesn't matter to much to them!

Haha umm.. I'm not sure how to take that? But thats not what it is for me. I just find Homer too smart and not that funny. And I don't like bad animation. Also, I can't stand the "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" episode, or the one where they go to counseling, or the one where Lisa has a crush on her teacher, etc. I just don't find those older episodes entertaining. I can't sit through them anymore.
And I've never thought The Simpsons was anything like Family Guy. I find their styles way different from each other which is probably why Family Guy has been cancelled twice in the last 10 years. I will admit that The Simpsons has become more random but I think its still far off from Family Guy.

Oh wow, I can see we're at completely different ends of the spectrum! Can I ask, did you become a fan recently/didn't grow up watching the old episodes? Because anyone who did will agree with my view point, haha! Homer was smarter, yes. That was part of his charm, sure he had his stupid moments but he was still a father and a good husband. These days, he's just an overgrown child and not capable of holding a family together. When I was talking about morals, that's part of what I was referring to. Take the first Christmas episode - "Simpsons Roasting On An Open Fire".
Bad animation? Oh boy, here we go. First of all, anything prior to about season 11 was hand animated and cell coloured, giving it that great, "halo effect" or what you call dodgy animation, haha! That's the stuff Disney used to do, you know REAL animation. That and I've discovered that while you can claim the characters went more "off model" during that time, there was actually a lot more expression, use of angles, posing, perspective than there is the show today. Honestly, I can't bare to watch the new episodes because everything is so....clean, perfectly rounded and computer coloured. I just hate it, there's nothing organic left and it feels like machines could've done it. Now it's all about dressing them in modern clothing or realistic representing a celebrity. Back in the day, celebrities weren't asked to play themselves. Take Michael's episode, or Dustin Hoffman's (lisa's substitute teacher).
Yes, you can say that the show was "corny" but like I said before, it had heart which matters so much more to me than dumb jokes thrown at the viewer a mile a second. That's why I compared it to Family Guy, in that it's just a whole bunch of jokes with a plot loosely tied around it. For Family Guy, that works and can be often hilarious. For the Simpsons, its tiring and redundant.
Even the movie that came out, what two years ago now? I saw that, and I felt like my entire childhood had been run through a computer, spat out and left to piece together some sort of plot and character development. They had an amazing chance to make a great film there, and they blew it with stupid material like "Spider Pig" and showing nudity. That's not the Simpsons I grew up with.
Maybe times have changed. In the 90's, the market was dominated by family films that had that sense of innocence and were built on heart and morals, and kids had the attention spans - and the good up bringing - to sit through it, enjoy it and learn from it. Now, it seems that they need bright colours, flashy pop culture references and mile a minute jokes to keep them entertained.
Really, it makes me sad.

It's when they started having a celebrity in every episode is when it became OMGWTFBBQ!?
I know what you mean about the emotions it made you feel. I'm gonna refer to the episode where Lisa digs up the 'remains' of an 'angel'. The whole episode Lisa looks for ways to prove the Angel is not real, while Marge is convinced it is real. Hard to explain the ending pay off without ruining it, but ya really gotta see it.

I've been watching The Simpsons since I was 3 years old (around 1992). I loved the show back then. I never said that I never liked those old episodes. I used to love The Simpsons back then because I found them funny.. but I found them funny back then. I've just seen those old episodes so many times that I don't like them compared to the new ones. They just aren't funny and I find myself very bored while watching them. Thats all. Its a matter of opinion and its a matter of repetition. I'm tired of the old episodes.
Its not a big deal to me that "thats how animation was".. its still crap compared to what they have now. I'd rather watch The Simpsons with clean, cut animation than with inconsistent motion and weird voices. Its just not "The Simpsons" to me since they've had like 15 years with better animation and thats the stuff I grew up with the most. I'm not saying that I only like the episodes from this decade. I like the episodes from the mid to late 90s. But anything before that, I can't stand. I just don't find them funny. Okay, they have a good message and have a moral stance and everything.. but thats not what I look for in those episodes. I watch The Simpsons for the humour and the cleverness in which they portray it. I don't need any moral lessons at my age haha.
This reminds me of a South Park episode where Butters wants to do something that has never been done so he tries all this crazy stuff but this kid keeps reminding him that The Simpsons have done it.. implying that The Simpsons has done everything. So of course, after 20 years, their story lines are going to plummet here and there. Of course their jokes are going to get tiresome or old.. what do you expect, really?
When you talk about celebrities not playing themselves back then.. what about that episode where Krusty has the comeback show? There were plenty of celebs in that show that played themselves.. Johnny Carson, Liz Taylor, Hugh Hefner, Bette Midler, Luke Perry, RHCP, Barry White. And also what about the episode where Homer joins the Nuclear Power Plant baseball team and ends up having all these pro baseball players join the team? They played their own voices as well.. Roger Clemens, Ken Griffey Jr., Jose Canseco, Darryl Strawberry, etc.
When you talk about the movie.. Matt Groening originally said that when a Simpsons movie came out, that would mark the last season that The Simpsons was on the air. Obviously he kept the seasons coming. But when you talk about nudity.. we saw all those parts covered over 20 years (for instance, that one episode where Marge and Homer decided to rekindle their romance by running around town nude) and it was just a joke that finally we would see some cartoon nudity. Its like the last episode of Home Improvement - we never saw Wilson's face (Tim Taylor's neighbour) until the last episode. This was supposed to be a "goodbye" for The Simpsons which is probably why they decided to throw that nudity in there. I will admit the "Spider Pig" thing was stupid. I didn't find that funny.
I don't understand what you're implying with your last paragraph. Are you saying that those of us who prefer the newer episodes had bad upbringings and now have short attention spans?
Blackat 27th February 2010, 11:47 AM I've been watching The Simpsons since I was 3 years old (around 1992). I loved the show back then. I never said that I never liked those old episodes. I used to love The Simpsons back then because I found them funny.. but I found them funny back then. I've just seen those old episodes so many times that I don't like them compared to the new ones. They just aren't funny and I find myself very bored while watching them. Thats all. Its a matter of opinion and its a matter of repetition. I'm tired of the old episodes.
I see what you're saying, and no I don't feel the same way. I think the older episodes stand the test of time a LOT better than episodes from say, five or six years ago that are full of passe pop culture jokes that already don't make sense any more. At least the "old" episodes had the intelligence to crack jokes that had momentum and built up to something, instead of making passes at celebrities and current affairs.
Its not a big deal to me that "thats how animation was".. its still crap compared to what they have now. I'd rather watch The Simpsons with clean, cut animation than with inconsistent motion and weird voices.
I'm sorry, but you've completely missed my point here. I've studied animation, it's my passion and I will defend it to my death, but regardless of that what you're saying is incredibly misinformed.
It is NOT "crap", I can't even believe you'd have the courage to say that. I explain that in older episodes they were still using the cell animation technique, meaning that all the drawings were hand drawn, hand inked and then coloured by hand before being put into motion. How could that possibly make something "crap"? By saying that, you're putting the old Disney cartoons, the old Looney Tunes, Hannah Barbera, pretty much the entire history of animation pre-computers into that category.
....I really cannot stand people who have this general view on animation, as you can see haha!
Computers do NOTHING except give you crisp, clean lines that are devoid of the original emotion that came through the pencil from the animator, hence why I dislike the newer episodes. Every shape, every line is perfect and I find that so clinical and cold. The Simpsons were so much more raw and full of life with the "crap" animation of the earlier episodes. At least you got a feeling that people were working late at night to bring these characters to life.
Again, "inconsistent" motion is what made the Simpsons feel more "real" to me, that guys who had a passion for animation were working on that show and not some big budget, Hollywood company.
Its just not "The Simpsons" to me since they've had like 15 years with better animation and thats the stuff I grew up with the most. I'm not saying that I only like the episodes from this decade. I like the episodes from the mid to late 90s. But anything before that, I can't stand. I just don't find them funny. Okay, they have a good message and have a moral stance and everything.. but thats not what I look for in those episodes. I watch The Simpsons for the humour and the cleverness in which they portray it. I don't need any moral lessons at my age haha.
That's the thing; The Simpsons is no longer clever as it used to be. Like I said, they rely too heavily on pop culture references and making Homer appear to be incapable of living as a grown man in the world. Where is the intelligence in that? How many more episodes do we have to suffer with marriages, Marge getting a boob job or goodness knows what? It's all just a repeat, honestly.
Too old for moral lessons? Haha, you're not old enough yet. ;) Just wait a few years, you'll be saying something different! There's always something to learn, at any age and on any level.
This reminds me of a South Park episode where Butters wants to do something that has never been done so he tries all this crazy stuff but this kid keeps reminding him that The Simpsons have done it.. implying that The Simpsons has done everything. So of course, after 20 years, their story lines are going to plummet here and there. Of course their jokes are going to get tiresome or old.. what do you expect, really?
You've just proved my point, well done.
When you talk about celebrities not playing themselves back then.. what about that episode where Krusty has the comeback show? There were plenty of celebs in that show that played themselves.. Johnny Carson, Liz Taylor, Hugh Hefner, Bette Midler, Luke Perry, RHCP, Barry White. And also what about the episode where Homer joins the Nuclear Power Plant baseball team and ends up having all these pro baseball players join the team? They played their own voices as well.. Roger Clemens, Ken Griffey Jr., Jose Canseco, Darryl Strawberry, etc.
At least it made sense in the episode, unlike the new ones where a celebrity seems to turn up for the hell of it. "Oh look, it's so and so from that program!" and suddenly it's all about the star power.
When you talk about the movie.. Matt Groening originally said that when a Simpsons movie came out, that would mark the last season that The Simpsons was on the air. Obviously he kept the seasons coming. But when you talk about nudity.. we saw all those parts covered over 20 years (for instance, that one episode where Marge and Homer decided to rekindle their romance by running around town nude) and it was just a joke that finally we would see some cartoon nudity.

This was supposed to be a "goodbye" for The Simpsons which is probably why they decided to throw that nudity in there. I will admit the "Spider Pig" thing was stupid. I didn't find that funny.
It was a poor joke and definitely a "jump the shark" moment. I remember coming out of the movie theatre after seeing the movie and having felt like my childhood had been chewed up and spat back out.
I don't understand what you're implying with your last paragraph. Are you saying that those of us who prefer the newer episodes had bad upbringings and now have short attention spans?
No, where did I say that? I said it SEEMS to ME that kids today prefer fast jokes, flashy colours and quick storylines to satisfy their short attention spans.
JasonAW 27th February 2010, 03:25 PM I have to agree with you on that Blackat, while I do every Simpsons episode. I find the first 10 seasons classic. It has heart and emotion in as well. It does feel like it is copying Family Guy these days (and let's not get started on Family Guy).
sosforever 27th February 2010, 07:25 PM hahahaha i remember this on. so funny.. dramatic lisa
Lisa: I had a cat called snow ball, she died, she died, Mom said she was sleeping, She liiiied, she lieeeed! Oh why, oh why is my cat dead? Couldn't the Crysler have run over me, instead? I had a hamster named snuf-
Homer: No deal.

Mr. Largo: Oh! That was a close one Lisa but you made it!
Lisa: I won first chair?!
Mr. Largo:No, you regained consciousness. Alison got first chair.
Lisa: AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Lisa: Oh, it was just a dream...
Mr. Largo: Oh! That was a close one Lisa but you made it!
Lisa: I won first chair?!
Mr. Largo:No, you regained consciousness. Alison got first chair. And believe me, this is not a dream!
Lisa: AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Lisa: Bart, I'm really sorry I've been ignoring you lately. I got carried away with being popular. But, now that I'm unpopular again, I want you to know I'm here for you.
Bart: You can start making it up to me right now. Flanders is leaving the house. I want you to sneak in there and bring me back some evidence. And something sweet for later.
Lisa: Bart, I'm here for you, but I'm not going to break into somebody's house.
Bart: All right, you're right, you're right, let's, let's just forget about that. Here: let me read to you from my play. Ahem. "Kippers for breakfast, Aunt Helga? Is it St. Swithin's Day already? 'Tis,' replied Aunt Helga"...
Lisa: I'm going, I'm going!

Homer - (while eating Bart's food) - Run boy run for your life
Emma 1st March 2010, 10:30 PM Okay Blackat, I can see I have touched a nerve. We should probably agree to disagree before we get on each others bad sides haha. Its all a matter of preference, really.

On the road a man is driving with his family and the kids are messing about in the back. He yells: "If you kids can't keep your hands to yourselves," I'm
gonna turn this car around, and there'll be no Cape Canaveral for anybody!"
Nelson slaps him on the back of the head and the father thinks it's the children so yells:
"That's it!", back to Winnipeg!".
I love that bit. :lol:
