Two favorite bits…both being classic Homer moments:
First from Deep Space Homer when Homer freaks out about going into space and calls Marge.
Homer: Marge…I don’t really want to go through with
this. But being an astronaut is how I got you
to respect me!
Marge: Homer, when I met you, you weren’t an astronaut.
You didn’t even know how to use a touchtone, but
I still respected you and I always will, no
matter what.
[touchtone sounds come from the phone]
Homer, you already dialed. But on the other hand,
when you don’t take advantage of an opportunity,
you can end up regretting it for the rest of your
life.
Homer: You’re right, Marge. Just like the time I could
have met Mr. T at the mall. The entire day I kept
saying, “I’ll go a little later. I’ll go a little
later.” And then when I got there, they told me
he’d just left. And when I asked the mall guy if
he would ever come back again, he said he didn’t
know. Well, I’m never going to let something like
that happen again! I’m going into space right now!
Marge: Oh, I am so proud of you. And I know it’s going to
go just fine
[touchtone sounds come from the phone]
Mmm…
and secondly from The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular, a clip from when Bart became Mr. Burns’ heir.
Homer: Bart, you’re coming home.
Bart: I want to stay here with Mr. Burns.
Burns: I suggest you leave immediately.
Homer: Or what? You’ll release the dogs, or the bees,
or the dogs with bees in their mouths, and when
they bark, they shoot bees at you? Well, go
ahead. Do your worst.
Burns: “Do my worst”, eh? Smithers, release the robotic
Richard Simmons.
[a door open and said robot walks out]
Simmons: Come on, big boy! Shake that butter off those
buns.
[a speaker pops out of its head and plays “Shake
Your Booty”]
Homer: Aah! [runs away]
Simmons: Come on, come on, girls! Shake, shake, shake!
Burns: Smithers, it’s out of control.
Smithers: I’ll take him out, Sir!
[cocks shotgun, blasts it in the head]
[the hole closes up a la T2 and the dancing
resumes]
Simmons: [slowing down] Shake, shake, shake! Shake,
shake, shake! Shake, shake, shake…
Smithers: His ass is going to blow!
[they all run in the house]
[the robot explodes, its head landing far away]
I love that bit…especially the Homer’s part about the dogs that shoot bees…ROTFLMFAO every time I see that one!!! [Sigh…] Alas, Homer is now just a stupid, vulgar, angry American, and the writers on the show just stink…
