Premise is simple.

Person lists a "Simpson" quote and the next poster has to identify the character who said it and under which circumstances/what episode. Are we ready? I'll start.

NINE babies? That's barbaric!

Manjula, when their 8 babies is overtaken by the 9 babies, which prompted that father to say "We're on cloud nine!"

Homer finds some pills in the trash, and justifies taking them.

C.M. Burns, when he's at the Junior Achievers or whatever business meeting, and Lisa asks him if his plant has a recycling plant. It's the disturbing episode where Burns loses his money, and then makes it all back by grinding up oceanic lifeforms. Funny thing is, there was an earlier episode where Ned Flanders was at Burns' house, talking to him about recycling. Burns seemed to know what it was then, as he expressed "joy" at the thought of pawing through his garbage. But, hell, I guess if Burnsey can forget Homer's name on a daily basis, he can forget what recycling is, you adorable little ragamuffin.

Homer, explaining why one of the death threats Bart received wasn't written in blood like all the other ones, which came from Sideshow Bob. IIRC, the tattoo was "Wide Load."

Well, I don't understand this game, but the all-time best Simpson's line is:

Kang: Commence fertilization procedure! (Kang shoots Marge with a ray-gun) Fertilization complete!

Marge: Really, that was quick.

Kang: What do you mean by that?

Marge: Oh nothing, nothing.

I'll add another, because it's late and I'm tipsy:

"Well, I'll be all right as long as I remember my army training...Dang!"

And another: "Okay, giant beer!"

Mr. Burns, while taking Homer from the grave he was sleeping in.

This was in the Halloween episode where Mr Burns tries to create the perfect employee and puts Homer's brain in a giant robot.

"This is indeed a disturbing universe."

that was Maggie voiced by James Earl Jones in one of the Halloween episodes. Homer had traveled back in time and kept altering history leading to some very interesting alternate presents.

Homer takes off work to sell the sugar he found. Marge says, "While you were out "earning" that dollar, the plant called and said if you don't come in tomorrow, don't bother coming in Monday!" Which would actually make it a five-day weekend...

To reiterate: "Okay, giant beer!"

Either Lenny or Carl, I forget which, the black one, at Mo's Tavern, a rare example of breaking the 4th wall, he says it to the audience after, he says something like, "Is Barney really that alcoholic? Is Mo really that ugly?" and a few others like that, and everyone gets depressed.

I think this is where Homer and Barney go to the Duff Brewery. Homer takes Barney's keys, but ends up getting arrested for D.O.A... er, I mean D.W.I. Chief Wiggum, dressed up in a Beer Stein costume, asks Barney if he is ok to drive home, and Barney's response is the one above (although I thought it was "Sure thing, giant beer!" Close enough).

To the person earlier who did the "mach schnell vit da artzie," that's not even as funny as the other line from the German punk! "Hey funboys! Get a room!" LOL, funboys.

Ok, my turn again... um... "You can't take a bad picture of that guy!"

I think you're right, quixotic, it was "Sure thing", not "Okay".

Jester: Homer and Bart, Flanders and Rod or Todd adrift after Homer lost the map on the Junior Campers raft trip. The cheese doodle was the only food they had, which they were using as fishing bait.

"The doctor says my nose won't bleed if I keep my finger out of it!"

-Ralph, once again, in a moment of glory. Said to Marge at the Knowledgeum, maybe?

"We're nearing Itchy and Scratchy Island, where nothing can possib-aly go wrong. Possib-lEE go wrong. Huh, that's the first thing that;s gone wrong."
