Have the Rolling Stones killed. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/eMOlkkwR2gw/hqdefault.jpg "Have the Rolling Stones killed.") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMOlkkwR2gw) We would say this a lot when I played in a band. Usually after we made a mistake or had a lackluster performance. ---

Getting a deal of 100 tacos for $100 never ceases to amuse me. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/W1kxpNM873w/maxresdefault.jpg "100 tacos for 100 dollars | The Simpsons") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1kxpNM873w) In fact, last night at axe throwing (I am in an axe throwing league), the manager had a bunch of Simpsons stickers that he found somewhere and had them out on a table for anyone to take. I texted a pic of them to my wife and kids and said that there’s a great deal at the Stickermat, 100 Simpsons stickers for $100. My wife’s reply was “If only they had tacos.” ---

As a loyal NPR listener, I have to mention the one where Homer pledged a large amount of money to PBS so they’d stop the pledge drive and get back to the show he wanted to watch. And the the “pledge enforcement van” shows up at the Simpsons’ house to collect their money. ---

I always got a kick out of the German inspectors who are checking out the power plant, and when they open up a control panel, there are raccoons chewing on the wires. _“Akk! Raccoons!!”_ And of course the “Beer Goggles” gag above is priceless. ---

Willy killing Martin in his dream; I like all the reactions after he dies: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/cOccRuhGSRI/maxresdefault.jpg "The Simpsons - Groundskeeper Willie kills Martin (S7Ep06)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOccRuhGSRI) The high-security at the nuclear power plant. I’ve seen so many examples of this in real life… where a lot of time/money has been put into some sort of security measure, but there’s a gaping weakness that negates it all: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/eU2Or5rCN_Y/hqdefault.jpg "Springfield Nuclear Plant Security The Simpsons") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eU2Or5rCN_Y) Mr. Burns falling out of the helicopter and later getting smacked against a chimney on his way to the hospital: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/W3ssu0__Cuc/hqdefault.jpg "The Simpsons - Like A Bug") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3ssu0__Cuc) In a way the helicopter clip reminds me of another favorite where the street sweeper is cackling at Bart. Same theme of the evil guy looking back laughing but taking a lot of personal damage as a result: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/vdz4bc2LGMM/maxresdefault.jpg "Bart vs the Street Sweeper") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdz4bc2LGMM) ---

Homer’s “The Who? I love bands!” is just great. (the same episode also includes “We had a handshake agreement with a concert promoter and that’s a sacred bond.” “_Sacred bond_” ---
