The “cheese-eatin’ surrender monkeys” quote is one of my all-time favorites. Another great scene is in the Cape Fear episode (featuring Sideshow Bob’s H.M.S. Pinafore), when Homer runs into Bart’s room waving a big butcher knife and screams,
“BART YOU WANNA TRY SOME OF THESE BROWNIES?”
Bart (paraphrased):“Dad, I’m a little nervous right now, okay?”
Homer gets all concerned, apologizes, tucks Bart in, and leaves. Two seconds later, he bursts back into the room, screaming,
“BART YOU WANNA SEE MY NEW CHAIN SAW AND HOCKEY MASK?” wielding and wearing, respectively, both these items.
Also, Ralph Wiggum: “Yay, sleep! That’s where I’m a viking!”
Anybody remember the exact dialog from the one in which Flanders is asking Homer to show him how to have fun and Homer is saying stuff like: “Well, well, well. So Mr. Clean wants to hang with Dirty Dingus Mcgee . . .” In the same episode Homer refers to Flanders as “Churchy LaFemme.”
In the episode in which Bart & friends “invade” Shelbyville to retrieve their lemon tree, and Marge think it’s because of the lecture she gave Bart:
HOMER: Now, Marge, you can’t blame all of Bart’s problems on your one little speech. If anything turned him bad, it’s that
time you let him wear a bathing suit instead of underwear. And let’s not forget your little speech!
I love the subtleness of The Simpsons - what you see, not what you hear - most of all. Very much like the two Airplane! movies. If you do not watch closely, you miss A LOT of jokes!
One episode that sticks in my mind is when Homer is the country-music star manager. He goes to see Earlene in her trailer. There is a sign over the name of the mobile home park that states “126 days since the last tornado”. On Homer’s next visit, the sign states “4 days since the last tornado.”
Itchy and Scratchy Island, where nothing can possibli go wrong.
I mean “possibly” go wrong.
That’s the first thing that’s ever gone wrong.
Tatum: I’ve got nothin’ against Homer Simpson, but I am going to make orphans of his children.
Parole Board Member: They do have a mother.
Tatum: Yes, but I imagine that she would die of grief.
I’m sorry, children, I have to go now. My home planet needs me.
(Poochie died on the way to his home planet)
