Mush that I am, it’s the sentimental bits of The Simpsons that speak to me.

One of my more memorable Simpsons experiences: Hadn’t seen Simpsons in a while, had fond memories so I turned on the TV (11th season) and watch a new ep. _I_ thought it was hilarious! A horse race with great use of Cake’s “The Distance” The utter randomness of some elves making an appearance. Hilarious metahumor and the use of Bachman Turner Overdrive. Fans will know by now what I’m talking about and the infamousness of the ep…Well I thought it was very funny. ---

Lionel Hutz’ ad that says: Works on contingency No money down When presented with the ad, he takes out a red pen and mutters something about the printers: Works on contingency? No, money down! Oh, and that little bar association logo probably shouldn’t be there. Also, given current events: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/z77JFw2D6f8/hqdefault.jpg "The Simpsons: USSR Returns") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z77JFw2D6f8) ---

> [@OldOlds](#): > > When presented with the ad, he takes out a red pen and mutters something about the printers: > Works on contingency? > No, money down! My favorite part comes just after that. Lisa\* asks “So you don’t work on a contingency basis?” Hutz shouts back “No! Money down!” \*Or was it Bart? I don’t quite remember, but it sounds more like something Lisa would say.
