_The Raven_ made me a fan for life (Marge’s hair is so tall, it’s continued on the next portrait.) One of the early episodes, Bart gets stuffed in a trash can by Nelson then sent a-rollin’ down the street. [The POV is Bart’s and the world spins around and around.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djM6T-uWCwM&ab_channel=raceingbaby49) Followed [by](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-ICGsAHXR0&ab_channel=TopClips): “Odd, usually the blood gets off at the second floor.” ---

“But Marge, it works on any Ayatollah. Ayatollah Nakhbadeh, Ayatollah Zahedi. Even as we speak, Ayatollah Razmara and his cadre of fanatics are consolidating their power” Homer is surprisingly up to date on Iranian internal politics. ---

> [@Banksiaman](#): > > A lot to choose from, but one of the best would have to be Homer referring to Stephen Hawking, in his motorised chair, berating the Springfield Mensa group, as Larry Flynt. He has referred to Hawking at least 2 other times, once calling him “The Wheelchair Guy,” but then in another ep. as “Someone whom I have never heard about ever.” ---

Some scenes are legendarily good, but it’s individual lines of dialogue that stick with me. “Come on Homer, Japan will be fun! You liked Rashomon!” “That’s not how I remember it!” “Monster put card in wallet.” And Kent Brockman’s line about Springfield’s newfound wealth ensuring that everyone will soon be enjoying golden showers… ---
