 Posted: Fri Apr 20, 2007 3:36 am Post subject: What's your favourite Simpsons reference? (Off-topic) |
 |
|
This so completely off-topic, but I need a Friday silliness thread. 
The title of the post is self-explanatory... What's your favourite (or ONE of your favourite) Simpson quotes or moments?
Here's one that never fails to amuse me.
Homer: Here are your messages:
"You have 30 minutes to move your car",
"You have 10 minutes",
"Your car has been impounded",
"Your car has been crushed into a cube",
"You have 30 minutes to move your cube".
[phone ringing]
Homer: [answers] Yello, Mr. Burns' office.
Burns: Is it about my cube? |

Homer Simpson, when he worked as an instructor, tried to impress everyone with a rant about how he's superior, throwing buzzwords around. 
Homer: I teach an intensive communication course. I help my students improve their bottom-up listening skills by teaching them about the suprasegmental aspects of English phonology. I also use video clips and authentic materials to help the students develop their top-down listening skills, by having them focus on context, and using their knowledge of grammar to make educated guesses about what they are trying to hear.
For productive skills, I teach my students communication strategies, like appealing for help from the interlocutor, or pausing to gain processing time. These have to be practiced EVERY lesson, until the students can use them with a high degree of automaticity, otherwise they are useless. I had to design my own syllabus and course materials.

Another classic was when Homer Simpson's car was in the shop, and was looking for other modes of transportation. Unfortunately, he was unable to ride a bicycle, and searched for another option.
Homer: Anyone know if Razor scooters are still available? |

Homer: "Did I ever tell you about the time I was in jail?"
OK, a legitimate one:
Homer: "Me fail English? That's unpossible!" |

Oh, har! har! Very funny....  But the only REAL Simpsons reference to Razor scooters is this one:
Wiggum: Would you look at those Simpson kids. Last year it was razor scooters, this year they're driving RV's. When I was a kid, my mom would give me an empty egg carton and I'd pretend it was a spaceship to the moon. You'd never guess what I used for astronauts.
Lou: Uh, I'm gonna say eggs.
Wiggum: ...shutup! |

Pure Homerian logic:
Homer: "Only an idiot would give 30,000 yen to Sekiguchi."
Forum Posters: "So what did you do?"
Homer: "I gave 30,000 yen to Sekiguchi."
Okay, the one where Homer is asked to teach a class the key to a successful marriage. I am guessing the speakers from memory.
Homer: "A successful marriage is like eating a good orange..."
Groundsman Willy: "Hey, if I wanted to know how to eat an orange I wouldda gone to an orange-eating class."
Next door, the orange-eating class.
Old Man: "Eating an orange is a bit like a good marriage..."
Guy in the audience: "Just eat the damn orange!" |

from www.thesimpsonsquotes.com
honorable mention:
Homer: Are you saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal.
Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.
fav:
Milhouse: Remember the time he ate my goldfish? And you lied and said I never had goldfish. Then why did I have the bowl Bart? Why did I have the bowl? |

Homer: Got any of that beer that has candy floating in it? You know, Skittlebrau?
Apu: Such a beer does not exist, sir. I think you must have dreamed it.
Homer: Oh. Well, then just give me a six-pack and a couple of bags of Skittles.
Second Favourite:
Marge: Homer, when are you going to give up this crazy sugar scheme?
Homer: Never, Marge. Never. I can't live the button-down life like you. I want it all: the terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, the creamy middles. Sure, I might offend a few of the bluenoses with my co#ky stride and musky odors -- oh, I'll never be the darling of the so-called "City Fathers" who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards, and talk about "What's to be done with this Homer Simpson?" |

Milhouse: Why does Bart have a comic book?
Comic Book Guy: Your questions have become more redundant and annoying then the last three "Highlander" movies. Use the search function you newb!
seriously, Mr. Burns has the best quotes:
Mr.Burns: Quick Smithers. Bring the mind eraser device!
Smithers:You mean the revolver, sir?
Mr.Burns: Precisely. |

Oh my god! I can't believe that the morning after I read this thread and had a bit of a giggle to myself there was a full 2-page spread about The Simpsons in the Melbourne newspaper. Apparently it's the 20th anniversary of the day the first episode appeared on TV on April 19 1987 and the paper listed Homer's 10 best "mmmmm" moments, the best 20 episodes and Bart's 10 best blackboard messages.
Way too much to report on all but they rated as follows:
- Homers best "mmmmmm" moment as "mmmmm beer" on hearing that excess alcohol and cause liverdamage and cancer of the rectum.
- Bart's best message as "I will not Xerox my butt". (Personally I prefer "A burp is not an answer")
- Best episode as Episide 17, series 2 |
