Moe: Bring us your finest food, stuffed with your second finest. Waiter: Very good, sir – lobster, stuffed with tacos. [Afterwards we see the remains of the lobsters, which are wearing little sombreros] ---

When Mr. Burns builds his casino and becomes obsessed with germs we get a real nice zoom in on Smithers’ face which is covered in germs. Then they say “Freemasons run the country!” ---

Thinking about Snake being a college grad makes his character so much more funny, but if you blinked you would have missed it. \*\* Maybe you should see a doctor about that.

at the end of the episode where homer bans bart from seeing the itchy & scratchy movie it cuts to 20 years later and homer agreeing that bart can see it. As they are going into the cinema homer spots something out of the corner of his eye… homer: ooooh! Soylent Green! ---

> [@](#): > > Homer: Hey Apu! Do you have any of those potato chips that give you diarrhea? I need to do a little spring cleaning. Just as funny is Apu’s reply (said in a kind of exasperated, “not-again” tone of voice): “They’re in the safety cabinet, I’ll get the key.” I think I’ve remembered my all-time favorite throwaway line. It’s from the Movementarians episode. Marge has just escaped their farm, and is running to find Rev. Lovejoy. We see him starting to douse the church with kerosene. He says: “Never thought I’d have to do _this_ again.” ---

In the Halloween episode based on the Shining, when the elevator doors open and the blood pours out Mr. Burns says, “That’s odd. The blood usually gets off at the second floor.” ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by smiling bandit \* > \*\*I’m sorry, don’t quite follow. \*\* Sorry, I spelled it wrong: Nam myoho renge kyo translates somewhat as ‘Devotion to the Sutra of the Lotus Blossom of the Wonderful Law’. Buddhist mantra introduced in 1253… google-able for too much information. 🙂 I guess i kind of like the obscure jokes- somehow the less accessible it is, the funnier it becomes. of course that means I’ve missed all the _really_ funny ones myself, so that only holds up to a point… ---

How about the one where Lisa sees the movie that has the sexy mexican Lisa winning the dance contest. She then wins the heart of the smooth latin lover type guy. There is a mexican Milhouse character who then says: “Once again, I must sugar my own churro” Freaking hilarious! Another one from the bible stories ep. After Homer has giving Flanders the Trojan horse, Ned remarks: “Now whenever people get wood, they’ll think of Trojans!” Bwaa ha ha ha ---

In the fat Homer episode there are two great lines. The first Bart imagines himself as fat as Homer and says that he can only wash himself with “a rag on a stick”. But the beat one was were Homer figures out that he can type “Y” instead of “yes” and says excitedly “I just tripled my productivity!” As for the show getting old, one of the funnest episodes I’ve seen in a while was the show before the season finale where Homer gets his license suspended. All of the stuff in his car was hilarious! ---

one from bart’s future episode Homer says something like “mmm, soylent green” then bart i think says “Isn’t that made from people, hows it taste?” Home responds " It varies from person to person." ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by teemingONE \* > \*\*my bad, what was the joke about soylent green in the bart’s future episode then? \*\* Homer is eating “Soylent green” cereal: Bart: “Isn’t that people?” Homer: “Oh, here we go…” **NDP** - that other line is from the episode where Homer finally takes Bart to see the Itchy and Scratchy movie in the future, where Bart is now a Supreme Court Judge. ---

This leaves me rolling, but no one has ever quoted it to me. Not a great episode, perhaps? Marge, when she was robbed at gunpoint and took up bodybuilding/steroids : “I didn’t give up my period for second place!” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/simpsons-throwaways-and-tossoffs/179082.md?page=7) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/simpsons-throwaways-and-tossoffs/179082.md?page=9)
