In the episode in which Homer gets fat in order to work at home on disability, he has to race back to the SNPP to shut off a valve on a tank lest it explode. The only way he can do this is to steal an ice cream truck. In this same ep, Mr. Burns is on a calisthenics trip and has all of the employees out on the PP lawn doing Iriquois Twists as Homer speeds by and they all turn to look and Mr. Burns’s perfect reply is: “There’ll be time for the frozen pudding wagon later!”
Thought of another one. In the Stampy episode when Homer falls into the tar pits.
Homer: “Don’t worry, I’ve got this under control. First I pull my legs out with my arms. Then I pull my arms out with my face.”
That kills me.
Oh, and a good throwaway I remembered last night. In the episode where Flanders becomes Homer’s best friend, Homer is ladling out gruel to the homeless people in the shelter really fast so that he can leave. A reporter sees this, and takes a picture, thinking it is a scoop. Later, on the front page of the newspaper, the headline is “Big fat man has big fat heart.” Underneath this, it says “Little skinny man accused in robbery.”
Also, one of the local hairdressers is called “The Perm Bank.”
Jasper John’s “You sqeal on me and I’ll kill you!” as he’s swiping some food is one of my favorites.
Bart and Lisa at the kitchen table, Bart saying “So I says to Mabel, I says…” then Homer interrupts and Bart says to Lisa “I’ll finish this later.” Totally out of the blue and great.
Kent Brockman reporting something totally pointless and then as he’s wrapping up he quickly adds “Oh yes, the President has been arrested for murder, more on that tomorrow. Or you can switch to another station… My producer is telling me to tell you NOT switch to another station.”
It wasn’t Lisa but a new teacher that questioned the word ‘embiggens’. She said something like “I never heard the word ‘embiggens’ before I came here.”
Later in the same episode the other shoe drops when the mayor states that Homers audition for the job of Town Crier was ‘cromulent’.
The Stonecutters episode where Homer is trying so desperately to fit in with the guys so he can join. Lenny keeps spilling the beans and Carl keeps telling him to, “Shuuut uuuup.” Finally, at one point, Lenny blathers on one more time and Homer chimes in before Carl can and tells Lenny, “Shuuut uuuup.”
It was Lisa’s teacher asking if “embiggins” was a real word.
The holloween episode with the giant advertising things attack. The doughnut guy goes back to Homer’s house after Homer accused Ned of taking the doughnut.
“I told you, Ned Flanders has it.” At that moment, you can see Ned running away.
The episode where Mod dies. In the dating video that Homer makes for Ned, when Ned is in the shower, one can tell that he is…um…“gifted.”
Sing to the tune of the Flinstones theme song
Simpson, Homer Simpson, he’s the greatest guy in history.
From the the, town of Springfield, he’s about to hit a chestnut tree
Really does crack you up, eh, photophat? Worst…er, best! use of double post ever.
More throwaways…
From Treehouse of Horror X, “Desperately Xeeking Xena”:
Frink: “In episode BF12, you are riding away on a winged Appaloosa, yet in the next scene, you are clearly riding atop a winged Arabian.”
Lucy: “Ah, yes…well, any time you see something like that…a wizard did it.”
Frink: "Okay, but in episode AF-
Lucy: “Wizard.”
Hehe, so perfect. And you can tell they’re really sticking it to the folks at snpp.com, god bless their little souls. But it really was pretty good.
Oh, and the Simpson Bible Stories episode is full of little moments. Like God/Flanders (why wasn’t he the usual God?) giving Eve some special interest magazines (People, with a picture of the only two people on earth).
In 22 Short Films about Springfield, when Marge is trying to get gum out of Lisa’s hair, I love it when the whole town somehow shows up to give their piece of advice. The best, though, is that the dancing baseball mascot (forget his name) just comes in and starts dancing, without giving any advice or saying anything at all (besides “Honk honk!”).
Also, I forget which episode, but the family is watching TV and they begin to talk about voice acting in cartoons, and suddenly Flanders shows up at the window, and in a completely different voice says “And you can change actors and no one will know the difference” or something like that.
Kodos: I am Clin-Ton. As overlord, all will kneel trembling before me and obey my brutal commands. [crosses arms] End communication.
Marge: Hmm, that’s Slick Willie for you, always with the smooth talk.
