I don’t know if this is really really old or not, but I had never seen it before, so here it is:

The Simpsons play Pulp Fiction

Dunno if it’s real, but it’s purty funny.

Sorry if you’ve seen it before…if you have, please feel free to tell me so in the rudest possible manner. Go on, we’ll make it a kind of contest.

Blech. The REAL Simpsons already did that–it was called “22 Short Films about Springfield” and it was quite possibly the best Simpsons episode ever.

Lou: You know, the funniest thing though; it’s the little differences.
Wiggum: Example.
Lou: Well, at McDonald’s you can buy a Krusty Burger with cheese, right? But they don’t call it a Krusty Burger with cheese.
Wiggum: Get out! Well, what do they call it?
Lou: A Quarter Pounder with cheese.
Wiggum: Quarter Pounder with cheese? Well, I can picture the cheese, but, uh, do they have Krusty partially gelatinated non-dairy gum-based beverages?
Lou: Mm-hm. They call ‘em, “shakes.”
Eddie: Huh, shakes. You don’t know what you’re gettin’.

Thank you, Elwood.

Does it seem to weird to anyone else that a Simpson’s thread sat around for three days and only got one response? You Dopers are a capricious bunch, aren’t you?

What do you mean “quite possibly”? “22 Short Films About Springfield” is indisputably the best Simpsons episode ever.

5

Id be willing to say that 22 Short films was more of a take off of “Shortcuts” but thats just me.

6

No, it was a takeoff of a movie called something like, “22 short films about Glenn Gould”.

Actually, while the ep’s title was a play on 22 Short Films About Glenn Gould, the format owed a lot to the Richard Linklater movie Slacker.

22 Short Films about Springfield is tied with the Treehouse of Horror episode from 1996* as my favorite Simpsons. Almost every line is quotable.

Superintendent Chalmers:
Aurora Boriealis. At this time of year. In this part of the country. Localized entirely within your kitchen.

Principal Skinner:
Yes

SC:
May I see it?

PS:
No.

*That’s the one with “The Genesis Tub” and Kang and Kodos replacing Dole and Clinton in the presidential race.

Kang:
“Set grid coordinates for Bob Dole”
