Hah, I saw that one the other day on my dvds actually. Forget which ep but it was an earlier one I think.

Oh and what did people think of the Maggie voiced by Jodie Foster doing the Fountainhead thing? ^%$%$#$% This isnt the right thread for that but whatevs (the ep itself had some good bits, but that was just ridiculous)

I'm saying, off of how new an episode can you make a reference or a quote and fairly expect it to be understood?

shaving my shoulders is season 10 apparently, for some reason i thought it was more recent

Ahh right, yeah thats a good question. Its interesting how heavily a lot of the very old episodes/seasons catchphrases have sunk in but yes, I wonder if there's much from very recent ones? Anything past season... 12, say? Hard to know, it all blurs after a while.

The wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield or at sea. They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall mountain. In either case, most of the actual fighting will be done by small robots. And as you go forth today remember always your duty is clear: To build and maintain those robots.

for some reason all day ive been thinking about the episode where homer tells marge (?) that if anything goes wrong at the plant to just blame it on the foreign guy, tibor. and the later hes upset that marge is getting a promotion and he says that '[hes] used to people getting promoted ahead of [him] at work: friends, co-workers, tibor...'
i think this joke is really funnie
thats all

Has the show got better again? I remember several people saying it had gone seriously downhill a bit over a decade ago so I haven't really sat through new ones since. Noticed the drop in quality and move toward formula at the time. It involved things including the treatment of the characterisation of Homer where he just became mindlessly stupid.It also moved away from the visual quotations of films which I liked from earlier seasons.I noticed it went from sidesplittingly funny to just about humourous and largely formulaic. So has it got good again?
