Nailed it! That quiz couldn’t have fooled me on the foolingest day of its life if it had an electrified fooling machine. 🙂

Pretty easy - I’m a hardcore Simpsons fan, but even a casual could get 8/10 easy, IMO…

ETA Yes, I got 1000…

Fill in Homer’s line here:

1. [At the kitchen table]  
Marge: I guess we could get more involved in Bart’s activities, but then I’d be afraid of smothering him.  
Homer: \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

2. Homer is trapped on a cherrypicker that rolls down a hill and is floating down a river. He looks to the sky, and says…

8/10. I missed the Japanese detergent commercial (fish bulb) one and the bee/buttocks one. D’oh!

I got 6, but I guessed at 2 and got them right.

My dork girlfriend should ace this.

“Yeah, 'cause then we’d get the chair.” (Or words to that effect, I’m going by memory.)

I really like that quote too. And it’s made even funnier by how Homer sticks with it. It’s followed with something like:

Marge: That’s not what I meant, Homer.  
Homer: Admit it, Marge, it is.

> [@](#):
>
> 1. Homer is trapped on a cherrypicker that rolls down a hill and is floating down a river. He looks to the sky, and says…

Is that when he says:

“I’m not normally a praying man, but if you’re up there… Please save me, Superman!”

You got them both. It’s “and then we’d get the chair,” but if it was multiple choice that would’ve been clear. Nailed the follow-up joke, too. 😉

I got 8/10, but to my credit I played it without sound.

[/QUOTE]

_Please_ ask me to kill for you…

But I think one of my favorite Homer/Marge exchanges is:

Marge: Have you noticed something different about Bart?  
Homer: New glasses?  
Marge: No…I think something is bothering him…  
Homer: Probably misses his old glasses.

My dork girlfriend got 9 out of 10. I’m almost disappointed. I thought she’d ace it for sure. She did recite everything else verbatim, though.
