krusty gets cancelled. all the way.

Over the last month I've watched pretty much all of the last few years (finally) and: That heart isn't gone at all, it's just dispaced and done strangely. It's all about repeating themes with minor characters that seem like throwaways at first but which build up to something more meaningful. Nelson's home life, Moe's suicidal tendencies, even Lenny parade of medical problems, Mrs. Krabapple dealing with Skinner -- this is where the "heart" of the show is invested now.

It's very odd.

Who "came out of the closet" in that recent episode a couple months ago? they were advertising it but the way Fox jerks around the Simpsons schedule, I missed it. Was it the obvious: Smithers? Or did they pull out a surprise that was great?

I thought the Pieman episode from last season was very funny.

Casuistry otm.

Stephen-Hawking-referring-to Homer to Springfield-taking-over-talking gazebo-standing-on nerds including Vulcan-mating-ritual-abiding Comic Book Guy:
"Larry Flynt is right, you guy's stink!"

They haven't done any coming out yet, I think.

Duffless (Homer gives up drinking?!?!

This one contains one of my favoritest lines ever from this show.

HOMER (out walking, not drinking, feeling good, says something about never drinking again)

MOE: Alright boozy, you're late for your drunkening!

'Max Power, he's the man who's name you'd love to touch,
but you musn't touch!
His name sounds good in your ear, but when you say it,
you musn't fear.
'Cause his name can be said by anyone!'

Last night they showed the rerun where Homer and Barney duke it out to go to space. So many good lines/sightgags in that one.

Bart: Wow, my father an astronaut. I feel so full of...what's the
opposite of shame?
Marge: Pride?
Bart: No, not _that_ far from shame.
Homer: [quavering] Less shame?
Bart: [happy] Yeah...

I'm so glad someone quoted lyrics to the Max Power song! I've been looking for those for ages...

I'm a fan of the episode where Homer becomes a babysitter.

"Bart Sells His Soul" is a classic.

"Secret hobo spices!"

that's just a variant on Bart vs Australia tho ("hamburgers eat people" etc.)

All I've gotta say is this -

Cover me, sarge, I'm goin in for Bart's soul!

"Homers Barber Shop Quartet"

My favorite line from the B-sharps episode:

"Oyster Lucy! You'll love Oyster Lucy! Oh Mister Mooney, I've just got to meet Bob Cummings.... Viiiiiiiiiiv."

I was just about to make the same arguments for the same episode. Mindy's the greatest. Except I misquoted the egg thing from the stonecutters episode, thanks Stevem.

― Nellie (nellskies), Friday, 14 January 2005 13:54 (nineteen years ago) link

"Oh Mindy, you came and you gave me a turkey"

How come the funniest moment ever hasn't been mentioned? Probably because it has been mentioned on other threads.

"You have selected... regicide. If you know the name of the king or queen being murdered, press 1"

I saw the one where Bart and Homer become carnies yesterday - is this a new one? I roffled my ass off!

the chili cook-off has to be my favorite. you can't go wrong with homer psychedelic hallucinations and johnny cash starring as a coyote.

― Jay-Kid (Jay-Kid), Friday, 14 January 2005 14:37 (nineteen years ago) link

It's funny how people love moments that just make you shrug, I guess it just shows how many levels it works on.

the worst thing is when you know someone quoted it wrong - a) you're annoyed because they quoted it wrong, b) you're annoyed that you're annoyed about this, c) you ARE now officially the most annoying person in the world regardless of whether you correct them or not, no-win

Hank: Uh, hi, Homer. What can I do for you?
Homer: Sir, I need to know where I can get some business hammocks.
Hank: Hammocks? My goodness, what an idea. Why didn't I think of that? Hammocks! Homer, there's four places. There's the Hammock Hut, that's on Third.
Homer: Uh-huh.
Hank: There's Hammocks-R-Us, that's on Third too. You got Put-Your-Butt-There?
Homer: Mm-Hmm.
Hank: That's on Third. Swing Low, Sweet Chariot... Matter of fact, they're all in the same complex; it's the Hammock Complex on Third.
Homer: Oh, the Hammock District!

ha ha, the Hank Scorpio one is the GREATTITS!

Hank Scorpio: By the way, Homer, what's your least favorite country, Italy or France?
Homer: France.
Hank adjusts a giant laser
Hank Scorpio: Heh heh. Nobody ever says Italy.
