Favourite Simpsons Moments

[glassmoon]

One of the better ones: after Homer was put in the asylum after he wore a pink shirt for work


Homer: This isn't fair! How can you tell who's sane and who's insane?
Doctor: Well, we have a very simple method.
[stamps his hand, `INSANE']
Whoever has that stamp on his hand is insane.

It really says something about the whole psychiatry profession. I didn't understand it at the time when I first saw it, only recently after learning a little psychology I got the message.

[crule81]

St. Patrick's Day episode where everybody is drunk at the parade and then the British Fish & Chips place explodes and everyone cheers.

[coffeezombie]

I think it was funny that one time Homer said "d'oh!"

[Geoff]

When Homer eats the chilli and hallucinates. Some of those images are indelibly burned on my brain.

The one that has stuck in my mind as my favorite moment ever is the one where Bart tries to jump the gorge of death (or whatever). Homer tries to do the stunt himself and falls down the gorge. They carry him up, and put him in an ambulance right by the cliff side. The ambulance starts to move, and about 1 inch off of the screen there is a bigass tree right infront of it. The ambulance of course crashes into this tree after moving for approximately half a second. Homer then gets thrown out of the back of the ambulance and down the cliff again.

that's my favorite

That was a classic! I like how the writers always come up with different ways to make Homer 'trip out' - licking cane toads, eating a bad ham sandwich, sleeping next to washing powder, etc.


Homer on phone: "You'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel."

[Serotonin]

"Here's your taco mister. Whoops, fell in the fire! I'll get it out! OWWW! OWWWW!"

And later on:

Pimply teenager "Here's your taco sir!"
Krusty: "I don't want it!"
PT: "But sir! This goes on my salary! If I had a girlfriend, she'd kill me!"

Funniest.
Quote.
Ever.

Also:
Homer: "A marriage is a lot like an orange. First you have the skin, then the sweet, sweet inner *munches*"
Willie: "If I wanted to see a man eat an orange, I'd go downstairs to the orange-eating class!"
Downstairs:
Hans: "The eating of an orange is a lot like a good marriage"
Grampa: "Just eat the damn orange!".

Favourite episodes: Apu fired from Kwik-e-mart, Sideshow Bob becomes mayor, Halloween ep with the "Shinning".

Heheheheheh.

[Miss Anthropic]

Parody on 101 dalmations; 2 dozen and 1 grayhound. Mr. Burns wants puppies for some sort of clothing item. He sings a song to the tune of Be Our Guest from Beauty and the Beast..

"Some men hunt for sport, others hunt for food,
The only thing I'm hunting for is an outfit that looks good.

See my vest, see my vest, made from real gorilla chest,
Feel this sweater, there's no better than authentic Irish
Setter.
See this hat? 'Twas my cat. My evening wear? Vampire bat.
These white slippers are albino African endangered rhino.
Grizzly bear underwear; turtles' necks, I've got my share.
Beret of poodle on my noodle it shall rest;
Try my red robin suit, it comes one breast or two,
See my vest, see my vest, see my vest!
[with hat and cane]
Like my loafers? Former gophers! It was that or skin my
chauffers,
But a greyhound fur tuxedo would be best.
So let's prepare these dogs --"

[cathmc]

Hard to choose. 2 things jumped into my mind

1. Mr. Burns at an art exhibition says "I don't know art, but I know what I hate"

2. The stonecutters song about all the things they did
I love the internet. Found the whole darn thing at http://www.snpp.com/guides/lyrics_list.html

NOTE: This is the version sung during the drinking scene; the version over the closing credits changes "Who leaves Atlantis off the maps?" to "Who keeps Atlantis off the maps?"

The characters named beneath sing their lines over the voices of everyone else singing the line.

All: Who controls the British crown?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We do! We do!

Karl: Who leaves Atlantis off the maps?
Lenny: Who keeps the Martians under wraps?
Alien: We do! We do!

All: Who holds back the electric car?
Who makes Steve Gutenberg a star?
We do! We do!

Skinner: Who robs cavefish of their sight?
Homer: Who rigs every Oscar night?
All: We do! We do!

[PsiKik]

1) Homer said something like
"If you don't watch the adverts it's like stealing from TV"

2) Wullie the school groundsman was fond of the tractor and said
"If it wasn't against the laws of God and Man I would make you my wife."


I got the first season DVD's and was a bit dissapointed, I think that the shows humor has increased over time, more sophisticated and obscure.

[MacGuffin]

There are sooo many I can name. But the first time I ever laughed till tears came out was the first season when they went to see Dr. Marvin Monroe. They were all strapped into chairs with electrodes to learn trust and ended up zapping each other over and over.

I also have a large fondness for Mr. Plow. And the monster known as Gamblor.

[Dempsey]

When Bart looses his soul.
*bart and liza are watching itchy and scratchy*
bart - "nope nothing"
lisa - "i think we should do a test"
*set up skateboard and hide in closet*
homer - "oh i'm just walking along...waaaaaaaaaaaah"
*head stuck in staircase*
For the icing on the cake santas little helper comes along and helps Homer out.

[Serotonin]

Mojo the Monkey.

"Show Marge your happy dance Mojo!"

Priceless.

[CrackerJack]

Chief Wiggum,
Bart or Lisa were going to explain how they caught a criminal or something,

Lisa - Oh you don't need us to tell you your job.
Wiggum - Waghh go on!! its the only way I'l learn.

[indie]

No particular moments, but, I do have a fondness for these two themed quotes:

Homer: "OK Brain, I know we don't get along, but let's just work together so I can get back to slowly killing you with beer."

Homer: "Here's to alcohol, the cause of—and solution to—all life's problems."

[ed_dunn84]

Homer: Hear ye, hear ye! The intergalactic jester proclaims this conformity factory closed.
(Kids cheer and burst out of the school)
Skinner: 15 years of loyal service and this is how they tell me? A jester with an invisible proclamation?

[glassmoon]

Mojo the Monkey.

"Show Marge your happy dance Mojo!"

Priceless.
That ep had several funny moments. When homer sent Mojo the helping monkey to steal donuts and Mojo kept them for himself, Homer: "You're a helper monkey! This isn't helping!"

http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/8137/mojo1.jpg


% The man tells Homer he can only get one if he's physically challenged.
% Later, Homer leads Abe and a new helper monkey out of the store.

Abe: Oh, son! This monkey's gonna change my life!
Homer: Mind if I take him for a ride?
Abe: Sure, I'll just stand here!
[Homer speeds off.]
Mmm, I can't wait to eat that monkey!

In the end, Homer deteriorated Mojo and made him like himself:

[MacGuffin]

Homer: "Here's to alcohol, the cause of—and solution to—all life's problems."
I used to have that quote as my sig for my emails. Then I decided that didn't seem so cool coming from a 28 year old with a job...

[Sackanaka]

When Flanders went crazy, a flashback:

Young Ned: I'm Dick Tracy, take that Pruneface! *whacks a kid*
Now I'm Pruneface, take that Dick Tracy! *whacks a kid*
Now I'm Prune Tracy, take that Di- *gets pulled away by a teacher*

[Avengardh]

When Bart sets the FBI out to get Milhouse, for some reason or another. And he is in the sewer-thing and has to jump off of there.

"My glasses!...."

Hahaha, the Mojo episode rocked.
Marge: "I thought he was house-broken!"

[Serotonin]

(Homer chops through a door.)
Homer: Heeeere's Johnny!
(Camera pulls back to reveal empty room.)
Homer: D'oh!
(Homer chops through another door.)
Homer: Daaaaavid Letterman!
Abe: Hi David, I'm Grampa.
Homer: D'oh! D'oh!
(Homer chops through another door, the correct one this time.)
Homer: (holding a ticking stopwatch) I'm Mike Wallace, I'm Morley Safer, and I'm Ed Bradley. All this and Andy Rooney tonight on "60 Minutes"!
Family: Aah!

[Claverhouse]

Dunno about favourite... can't really remember them all ( particularly as they only keep repeating old ones here unless you get Sky ): but Barney's short Art-House film... Bart working in the Bordello... The one that was a take-off of 'Pulp Fiction'...

And small running snippets > Homer's suppressed homosexuality; Smither's scarcely suppressed ditto ( remember him as Deep Throat, betraying his master to Bart & Lisa ? ); Fat Tony's mob scenes; the comic-book guy nerdding away correcting minute details of pure trivia...

Best characters: Mayor Quimby ( a name-choice incredible they got away with ) --- whom I think is based on the Kennedies; Chief Wiggum; Monty Burns.



Claverhouse :ph34r:


edit: Looking at the song-sheet above, I had forgotten this:

Hello Grampa, my old friend,
Your busy day is at an end.
Your exploits have been sad and boring,
They tell a tale that's worth ignoring.


Actually, anytime Grampa tells a war-story's good...

[C.J.Woolf]

Warden: Why do you want the job [as a guard at the juvenile jail]?

Homer: Because I believe children are the future -- unless we stop them NOW! (pounds fist into hand)

[crule81]

Two Ralph Wiggum scenes:

RALPH: Mrs. Krabapple and Principal Skinner were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me.

MISS HOOVER: I need a volunteer to present an oral report on Principal Skinner's life.
RALPH: Miss Hoover? Which one is oral?
MISS HOOVER: Out of your mouth Ralph.

[Dempsey]

"do I hear lisa simpson? Springfields answer to a question no one asked!"

[Pedro_The_Lion]

From the episode "Kill the alligator and run"




Marge: We'd be much better rock-breakers if we weren't all
chained together. [gets whipped]
Boss: No talking.
Marge: You know, you catch more flies with honey than with
vinegar. [gets whipped again] Ow! I'm beginning to
dislike the man with the whip.
[the sheriff drives up in his car]
Sheriff: Afternoon, folks. Got a new assignment for you.
The judge is having a little soirée and he needs
some help.
[Homer gets whipped]
Boss: No listening. You hear me?
Homer: Uh, no.
Boss: You just don't learn, do you? [whips Homer]
Homer: Ow!

From the episode "Treehouse of Horror V" where Homer uses a toaster to travel through time.




Arriving back in the present, he notices the layout of the house has
changed for the richer.

Homer: D'oh! I mean...hey.
Bart: Good morning, Father dear. [hands him comics] Hope you're well.
Lisa: Are we taking the new Lexus to Aunt Patty and Selma's funeral
today?
Homer: Hmm, fabulous house, well-behaved kids, sisters-in-law dead,
luxury sedan...woo hoo! I hit the jackpot. [sits down] Marge,
dear, would you kindly pass me a donut?
Marge: Donut? What's a donut?
Homer: Aah! Aah! [pushes toaster handle, disappears]
[donuts start to fall from the sky]
Marge: Hmm. It's raining again.

And lastly the best quote ever though I can't remember where it's from:




Grampa: Whenever I'm confused, I just check my underwear. It holds the answer to all the important questions.
[pulls out underwear]
Grampa: Let's see, first name, first name...
[reading]
Grampa: "call me... Abraham Simpson."
Lisa: Grampa, how'd you take off your underwear without taking off your pants?
Grampa: I don't know.

Oh yes, and as a reference to what everyone was talking about before I found this vid clip. (http://rds.yahoo.com/S=96781308/K=simpsons/v=2/SID=e/l=VDP/SIG=12cju0j8r/EXP=1113973838/*-http%3A//www.domina.gr/download/movies/The_Simpsons_2.mpeg)

I totally forgot about this classic clip. (http://www2.bc.edu/~oconnetg/Pages/Smithers.htm)

[SensEye]

I think that the shows humor has increased over time, more sophisticated and obscure.I agree. I can't even remember the subtle jokes and references that really make me laugh.

For example though, I just watched last week's episode where Bart and Lisa see their teenage futures.

Lisa is going to Yale, and there is one point where she says: "I am so glad Yale has finally banned boys from taking sciences. Should I take Femistry or Galgebra?"

I swear, one of the Simpson's writers must be tuned into the whole Larry Summers thing. Wonderful stuff, but it's only really funny if you understand the reference. I've seen many similar jokes based on current events that I really appreciate. And some probably slip by me.

[Serotonin]

"So when I say 'Hello, Mr Thompson' and stamp on your foot, you say hi. Hello Mr. Thompson" *stamps on Homer's foot*
Homer: I think he's talking to you

Also anything involving Duffman.

Titania: Ew! You said if I slept with you, I wouldn't have to touch the drunk.
Duffman: Duffman says a lot of things. Oh, yeah!

Moe: Hey, Duffman, how would you like a sticker on your face? (slaps a sticker on Duffman's face)
Duffman: Duffman can't breathe! Oh no!

[YardGnome]

Flushing Meadows (Homer's vision of it...)

[ChristiRB]

*poke*

Ow...quit it.

*poke*

Ow...quit it.

*poke*

Ow...quit it.

*poke*

MOM!!!!

"So when I say 'Hello, Mr Thompson' and stamp on your foot, you say hi. Hello Mr. Thompson" *stamps on Homer's foot*
Homer: I think he's talking to you

That can be found here. (http://www.capefeare.com/thomson.avi) ;)

[Xenophon]

[In the middle of a huge battle between Hank Scorpio's forces and the US army]
Homer: Hi Hank, you got any sugar?
Hank: Sure. No bags though.
[Reaches into his pocket, takes some sugar out and dumps it in Homer's hand.]
Hank: Want some cream too?
Homer: Uh, No Thanks.

I don't know why, but I think that scene is the funniest Simpsons scene I have ever seen. It cracks me up just thinking about it.

[Chrysalii]

On a recent episode, when the camera moved to a newspaper on the wall.
God steals Sun
Mayor offers sacrifices
it had a picture on an eclipse under the headline

[Dman]

My favorite Simpsons moment begins with the opening scene of the first episode and ends during the credits of the most recent episode

If there were a 24 hour Simpsons-only television station, I'm afraid I'd never leave the house again

Edit - sorry, this post didn't add much value, did it? Here check out this website. It lists all the episodes and has transcriptions for every episode ever - sometimes I just sit and read through them - hilarious. I'll be laughing so hard I'm crying, sitting in front of my computer.

the next hour, she will become property of Blockbuster Entertainment."

[iponjs]

... got bored. Anyway:

The Guatemalan Insanity Pepper (the Chili trip) - anytime Homer visits a guru it's great.

The Venus De Milo gummy on the babysitter's butt was another high point.

When Springfield captures "Bigfoot" - Homer has pretty much my same camping luck...
