Carl uses “I concur” and his idiot buddies are mystified. He explains that he got a “word of the day calendar.” Flash to the calendar showing “conquer.”
After much fruitless Googling I wonder if I imagined this - at some point did Homer consult to crib notes on his hand saying something like: “Kenny = white; Carl = black”?
If that is in fact actually real that is my favorite.
The episode where Apu puts in gas pumps. When Skinners bumps the mortar guy and a minute later the A from the gas station sign drops silently into the ground behind him. Slayed me.
Any of the chalkboard gags or couch gags. My favorite chalkboard gag: “I will not waste chalk.” Followed closely by “South Park, we’d stand behind you if we weren’t so scared,” after the Mohammed censorship flap of episode #201.
This is both an image and sound gag: When Marge got her black eye she used a can of Irish Strength Shiner-B-Gone with Too Ra Loo Ra Loo Ra in the background. Fucking ballsy.
In the episode “Mad Mad Mad Mad Marge”, when Marge, escaping from an insane asylum, tries to blend in with a marching band, and the band turns out to be from the asylum, and she marches right back in with it.
Yes. It’s from A Tale of Two Springfields where the town gets split into two different area codes (“I hate this new area code. Like I don’t have enough to remember already.”)
Your location is what keeps it fresh in my noggin meat.
Not sure if it counts a sight gag but I love it.
When they go to Australia and Homer and family are standing just outside the US Embassy and Homer is jumping back and forth between countries with one foot in each saying,
“Now I’m in America.
Now I’m in Australia.
Now I’m in America.
Now I’m in Australia.
Now I’m in…”
And the Marine guard punches him in the face and says," Here in America we don’t tolerate that kind of crap, Sir!
