A Stafford loan is a type of student loan.
My most favorite minor character is probably Troy McClure, as Stop The Planet of the Apes, I Want To Get Off! is my most favorite Simpsons musical evah.
I’ll second Bob and Cecil Terwilliger. Though Bob’s not so minor, he’s had seven episodes.
“Oh please. You wanted to be Krusty’s assistant since you were five! Remember the buffoon lessons? The four years at clown college!”
“I’ll thank you not to refer to Princeton that way.”
“Cecil, no civilization in history has ever referred to chief hydrological engineer as a calling.”
“Ahem.”
“The Macedonians, all right, yes.” (okay, maybe he didn’t say macedonians, but you know.)
Disco Stu- gawd, it HAS been awhile since that first episode.
“Disco Stu got hooked on the white stuff back in the 70s!”
Apu and Manjula.
Dr. Nick Rivera, of course. “Flammable means INflammable?”
Ah, heck, I love them all.
He actually said Cappadocians.
I nominate Stacy Lavelle, the embittered alcoholic creator of the Malibu Stacy doll.
Lisa: Excuse me, Miss Lavelle? I’d like to talk to you about Malibu Stacy.
Stacy: Do you have any idea how many kids have tried to track me down?
Lisa: Am I the first?
Stacy: [pause] Yes.
…
Lisa: It’s your company.
Stacy: Not since I was forced out in 1974. They said my way of thinking just wasn’t cost effective.
Lisa: [gasps] That’s awful.
Stacy: Well, that, and I was funneling profits to the Viet Cong.
…
That second one always cracks me up.
I’m surprised the Cecil fans haven’t mentioned the line to the effect of
I’m sorry, I didn’t hear. For the last decade I’ve been living in a cave…on Mars…with my fingers in my ears.
And for that matter,
Shake it madam! Capital knockers!
I like Apu. And Groundskeeper Willie:
“AAccchhh! There’s nary an animal alive that can outrun a greased Scotsman!!”
Hans Moleman, Disco Stu, Dr Nick, and Hank Scorpio have been mentioned, so here are some others …
Ben, Doug, and Gary - the three college nerds: “Mr Simpson? We all have nosebleeds.”
Lyle Lanley - monorail salesmen: “Well, sir, there’s nothing on Earth like a genuine, bona fide, electrified, six-car monorail!”
Llewellyn Sinclair - director of Springfield theater: “I am not an easy man to work for. While directing ‘Hats off to Channukah’’, I reduced more than one cast member to tears. Did I expect too much from fourth-graders? The review [holds up a school newspaper] ‘Play enjoyed by all’ speaks for itself.”
The German speculators who buy the nuclear power plant: “We regret to announce the following layoffs which I will read in alphabetical order. Simspon, Homer. That is all.”
Frank Grimes! Hey Grimey! “I’m peeing on the seat. Give me a raise?! Now I’m returning to work without washing my hands. But it doesn’t matter because I’m Homer Smipson! I don’t need to do my work 'cause someone else will do it for me. D’Oh! D’Oh! D’Oh!”
Rex Banner - lawman: “Listen, rummy, I’m going to say it plain and simple. Where’d you pinch the hooch? Is some blind tiger jerking suds on the side?”
Dr. Hibbert and I went to the same medical school!
(Paraphrasing)
Homer: Will you prescribe me a diet so I can gain wait to become morbidly obese and go on disability?
Dr. Hibbert: No! How horrible! That would be ethically reprehensible, and gross malpractice! I wouldn’t dream of doing it!
Homer: Well, can you refer me to someone who would?
Dr. Hibbert: He he he. Sure. Here you go.
QtM
that should read “weight”, not wait. I was thinking of all those patients sitting in my waiting room.
He he he
Who was it that stayed with the Simpsons when Homer go the Poochie job?
