Proof of the brilliance of the Simpsons

And if they don’t learn that lesson, keep repeating it until they do. :smiley:

Some of us need five attempts to learn that lesson.
Stacy Lavelle, creator of “Malibu Stacy”: My company forced my out in 1974. They said my way of thinking wasn’t cost-effective.
Lisa: That’s terrible.
Stacy: Well, that and I was funnelling profits to the Viet Cong.

Dangnabit, I’m gonna kill whichever hamster keeps regurgitating my posts OVER AND OVER.

Well, to make up for it, I’ll throw in some more quotes. I love the fact that Mr. Burns is made out to be a bigoted monster, and yet it’s still hysterical:

Burns: I want you to do for me what Spielberg did for Oscar Schindler!
Senor Spielbergo: Senor Schindler es bueno! Senor Burns…es el diablo.
Burns: Listen, Spielbergo. Schindler and I are like peas in a pod! We’re both factory owners. We both made shells for the Nazis, but mine worked, damn it! Now, go out there and win me that festival.

Burns (asking about his stock portfolio): Hmm. … Confederated Slave Holdings – how’s that one doing?

Burns (recruiting for a softball league): I want the best players alive today! From the National League! The American League! The Negro League!

C’mon Lisa … MONKEYS!

The Rashomon episode the Simpsons did was ok.

Mild nitpick- The title/music suggested it was based on Run, Lola, Run, but in RLR, it wasn’t the same story told from different perspectives. It was four different VERSIONS of what could happen.

Last weekend while out on the golf course I drained a long putt to win the hole and attributed it to long hours playing Lee Carvallo’s Putting Challenge.

Skinner: Curse the man who invented helium! Curse Pierre-Jules-Cesar Janssen!

I had to look this one up.

Homer sets his HighSchool Diploma on fire…

Homer: I am so smart, I am so smart, ESS EHM AR TEE (S-M-R-T)

gotta love that quote!

Lisa: Hmm. Pablo Neruda said, “Laughter is the language of the soul.”
Bart: (matter-of-factly) I am familiar with the works of Pablo Neruda.

Also in the “Bart’s Comet” episode:

Bart asks Skinner if he’d ever discovered anything, Skinner says: “Once…but by the time I got to the phone, my discovery had already been reported by Principal Kahoutek.” I looked it up (took a few times to get the spelling), and there’s a Kahoutek comet that has apparently has an interesting discovery history.

And it was a baby ox!

All the Brilliance of the Simpsons comes out of Monty Burns’ mouth… Behold:
Burnes: What country is that over there, it just screams capitalism.
Smithers: Thats Cuba sir.
Burns: Ok, land the plane Smithers.
Smithers: Sir, you’re flying.
Burns: Excellent.


Burnes: 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.

And my all time favourite…

Burns: Smithers, I look like a square with these creases in my jeans.
Smithers: Those creases are in your legs, Sir.
Burns: Excellent.

I am partial to the genius Kang and Kodos:

WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOUR PLANET SINCE ITS CREATION…5000 YEARS AGO…BY GOD!!!

“Ex…ac…tly…D’oh!”

I’ll see you in HELL, dinner plate!!

::plate fragments spray Homer’s face::

::Plate fragments spray Homer’s face::

Homer: [shaking fist at the heavens] Why do you mock me, O Lord?

Marge: Homer, that’s not God. That’s just a waffle that Bart tossed up there.

[Marge scrapes it off the ceiling into Homer’s hands]

Homer: I know I shouldn’t eat thee, but – [bites] Mmmm, sacrilicious.

Oh, my all-time favorite (tried to post before, but the hamsters got it):

(Homer is in gun store)

Homer: I’d like to buy a handgun.

Store owner: Sorry, there’s a three-day waiting period for gun purchases.

Homer (whiny): Three days?!? But I’m angry NOW!!!

If you remember the following scene of 7(?) days after he buys the gun, you kind of realise that they even pull off the toilet humor pretty well.
