The Simpsons

at first i thought the space coyote was laurence fishburne :/

"I'm just your memory, Homer. I can't give you any new information."

That episode also has:

Marge: It's like I'm from Venus and you're from Mars.
Homer: Fine, give me the one with all the monsters.

um hello werner herzog

johnny cash coyote might be my fave simpsons.

'i said woof'

Mentioned this to N the other night, he looks at me and goes "THATS JOHNNY CASH?!". We've only seen the episode 8766453453 times...

I've seen this ep a million times but this was the first time I noticed the Janis Ian reference in the opening bit. They're watching the pageant on television and all the girls break out into a showtuney version of "Seventeen." which is pretty lol + subtle

Oh, it's Streetcar Named Marge ep btw

"You look like Grandma when we saw her sleeping in her forever box" made me kinda sad

I always crack up thinking about Skinner fooling Lisa with a fake state comptroller and then going "and now...the REAL comptroller!" to the comptroller's confusion. If it wasn't totally lame and Fall Out Boy-ish to name a band after a Simpsons reference I'd start a band called The Real Comptroller.

nothing wrong with following in the footsteps of fall out boy

i like FOB i'm just saying Simpsons ref band names are corny

says the guy with a forkclovestofu pun in his dn!

display names are a milder level of lame that i'm comfortable with

Perhaps linked upthread. Perhaps not. Either way:

Christ. It's like Bart The General re-imagined by DoctorLegua.

= ARGH

Homer: "Don't feel bad, Lisa, Judas may have betrayed Jesus, but he still got paid"

That line from Lionel Hutz "if you lived here, you'd be home by now!" was used on a billboard once, which is funny because I thought the point of the line was to prove how ridiculous real estate agents get in their advertising

There is a real estate sign in my town that says this – even more confusingly, it is in front of an office plaza.

abbott, i just realized that since you live in my town you must be talking about the office plaza i used to work across the street from!

watched 'monorail' early this morning and followed it up with the commentary and groening et al were talking about how they used to walk by conan o'brien's office and notice him 'doing shtick' by himself, at his desk.

In the Fight Over Late Night book it says that when Conan was living briefly with Jeff Garlin the two would make up characters and then basically do shtick together for their own benefit (ie they never debuted the material or recorded it) just to entertain each other. Conan really is like a thirteen year old who never lost his sense of imaginative play.

When Conan did the week of "Late Night" in Chicago, one of the taped bits they did was him and Garlin going back the apartment they lived in and entertaining the current resident with stories about the old days. At one point, they go into this extended riff on the numerous events through history that happened in that very apartment, starting with the table read for The Posiedon Adventure (IIRC, the remake had just come out) and working backwards. It's amazing footage (not on youtube :-( ), and now I wonder how much of it was stuff they had already worked back then^

Trying to remember -- in which episode does Homer open a dryer and there's a little Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe homage where Mr. Tumnus is running away with Homer's socks? (We are only pretty sure that it's from the Simpsons...)

lol thats a family guy gag

lulz, thx for helping place it.

for that cretinous confusion, you are going to get a Phillies flameout this year.

Saw a newish ep the other day on TV that I'd never seen before, where Lisa makes a movie and it gets into Sundance. It was actually good! I may have already mentioned this, I get confused with the 876675564 Simpsons threads.

the creationism episode had at least one all-time lol exchange:

flanders: we want you to teach alternative theories to darwinian evolution!
skinner: (pause) you mean lamarckian evolution?

best think about the Sundance ep is "ChalmSkin", by miles

I love stuff like that. "I'm AWARE of the works of Pablo Neruda"

NV: hahah yeah that was a good bit. Also the Jarmusch exchange with Homer where Homer makes him eat an onion and he starts crying and says "I'm not crying because of this! I'm crying because we'll never see each other again".

there should be a site that has a screencap of every visual gag in the first seven seasons so that we can c/p them conveniently into threads and demonstrate our encyclopedic recall of obliquely relevant cultural situations

It doesn't cover every gag but I've made good use of http://eyeonspringfield.tumblr.com/

that clips from the simpsons aren't readily available on youtube is one of the great tragedies of the internet.

Hey thats MY schtick dayo!

OK that won.

the fact that the worthless fucksticks Tim & Eric were in a Simpsons episode that mentioned hipsters makes me feel like I could have made a lot of better decisions in my life

like, you could've been the celebrity guest star in the hipster episode of the Simpsons if you'd played your cards right?

i know, right?

maybe someday they'll need a new dog and you can show up with Santa's Little Hipster

:D

the fact that the worthless fucksticks Tim & Eric were in a Simpsons episode

OK wahhht!? It was bad (good?) enough when fotc were on the simpsons, geez. At least Futurama dont pull this shit.

(ok yes heads in jars that doesnt count somehow)

Simpsons seasons 2-8 vs. 8-now = John Lennon dying, so they replaced his Beatles role with one of the Fat Boys.

which is an immeasurable improvement?

Pappa, I love you to death, but people who leave out season 1 when talking about the series' golden years are literally worse than Jerry Sandusky

season 1 is horrible

ugly animation, ugly voices, ugly ugly ugly

oh hey i just googled jerry sandusky
