I don't know if this has been covered here. I did a search and found nothing on the topic.
Here's a link to some true linguistic Simpsons gems, as well as many links to many more.

I once showed a Simpsons episode at a China English mill I worked in. It was the one where they go to China to adopt a baby for one of Marge's sisters.
The dubasses didn't get any of the funnier remarks made by Homer... Homer looking at Chairmao's Body saying something like " What a lovely sleeping angel...that killed 50 million... or a sign at Timeniman Square that said " On this spot in 1989 nothing happened..."
But they loved it when Homer was fighting with the panda... |
