Currently making my way through the old series of the Simpsons, y'know, when it was good?

 

It's ridiculous how good it was. So many quotable lines.

 

What's your favourite Simpsons quote/quotes?

 

 

"CompuGlobalHyperMegaNet, Junior Vice President Homer Simpson speaking, how may I direct your call?"

 

"Who keeps Atlantis off the map? Who keeps the Martians under wraps? We doo..." The entire Stonecutters episode is fabulous

 

"Knife goes in, guts come out...."

 

"You'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel"

 

"Can't sleep, clown will eat me."

 

"It's a pornography store. I was buying pornography"

 

Homer is brilliant.

No, the best part of that episode is "I'll see you in hell candy boys!"

 

I also like this:

I'd also like to say that the lack of Simpsons clips on youtube is one of the great failings of the internets. Darn you Fox!

And Maggie Makes Three is a nice episode I feel.

 

That's actually one of the most touching moments in the series (which I guess isn't saying much).

 

As far as quotes go, well there's a few that me and my friends always go back to.

 

Dental plan... Lisa needs braces...

 

Would you say it's time for people to start cracking each other's skulls open and feast on "the goo inside?"

Why yes Kent, I would

 

Awww, Ape Island... I wish we were going to candy apple island.

What do they have there?

Apes, but they're not so big.

 

Be careful, it's snow picnic out there.

I snow what you mean ha ha,

You're dead weight Marty.

Hello.

 

Haha, I love that part.

 

Homer: Where'd you get the sugar for that tea?

Englishman: I knicked it when you let your guard down!

 

I also love the quote "It's sugar Marge! White gold!"

 

Also, this:

 

Go Banana!

Bart: [about constellations] Who names these things anyway?

Principal Skinner: Whoever discovers them. I've been hoping I could find something that would be named after me.

Bart: And you've never found anything?

Principal Skinner: Once... but by the time I got to the phone, my discovery had already been reported by Principal Kohoutek...

[a cloud covers the moon; ominous music plays]

Principal Skinner: I got back at him, though... him and that little *boy* of his.

[cloud passes; music ends]

Principal Skinner: Anyway, that's why I always keep a cellular phone next to me.

Reminds me of the one where Bart discovered the comet.

 

Principal Skinner: Bart, turn out your pockets. Lets see, blue prints of the balloon. Notarized photos of you making the balloon. Alternative name of the balloon "Buttzilla".

 

And then when Skinner finally catches the ballon: I've got you now my rumpy doppelganger!

There was a post on Kotaku featuring Comic Book Guy and it reminded of some terrible memories allow me to share them with you. Thanks.

I stopped watching the Simpsons around season 13(but only enjoyed it til season 10). If I can pinpoint the exact moment or episode when I pretty much realized that the Simpsons had changed for the worse was when The Comic Book Guy dated Principal Skinner's mother. I know that anything goes in Springfield, but the characters always stay true to themselves. Its what makes the show what it is. The fun of the Simpsons to me was about seeing the way these characters would react to different situations. Its what made the Halloween episodes so great. They were taken out of familiarity and thrust upon some truly weird shit, but they were still the Simpsons.

Im all for characters being expanded upon, but they were writing an entirely different show. It sure as hell wasnt the Simpsons anymore. Instead of our world becoming Simpsonified, the Simpsons are becoming...us. That's boring.

I remember Homer was getting super angry and super whiny around season 12 and that was lame, but I saw a new episode about a month ago and he wasnt whiny anymore, which was good, but now he was kind of witty and observant. Thats not Homer either, guys. He has a brainfart every once in a while, but they changed it to being the norm.

 

The truly sad thing is that a lot of the newest writers are lifelong Simpsons fans. Like me and tons of people my age(26), theyre uber Simpsons nerds. Theyre living my dream really. So in reality, were watching bad Simpsons fanfic passed off as the genuine article. Thats depressing. Im sure me and a lot of my Simpsons loving friend could write funnier more interesting shit. Im usually not th event he type to say shit like that, but I feel that way.

SImpson, Homer Simpson, he's the greatest guy in history.

 

From the, Town of Springfield, he's about to hit a chestnut tree. DOH!

 

I agree with you Strangelove. Some shows have always been about social commentary like Southpark which is why they're able to go on for a long time but the episodes don't always remain timeless. The Simpsons wasn't originally about social commentary but after 10 seasons of a show you run out of ideas and the show sort of shifted into sheer wackiness or social commentary neither of which really fits the simpsons in my opinion. I saw one about illegal immigration and it wasn't horrible but it just didn't fit the characters. They had to bend the characters in the show to fit the stereotypes they wanted to present and that ruins the show IMO.

I havent seen that one. I kind of want to now. I love watching train wrecks.

 

Anyone remember the rock camp episode where they got the Rolling Stones and a bunch of other rock people to appear? That was such an embarrassing episode too. Especially compared tot he way better Hullapalooza episode. That one was awesome.

Yes, I remember that episode where Comic Book Guy dated Skinner's mother......it was pretty bad....it kind of felt just....off. The police burst in and catch Comic Guy in bed with Skinner's mother and they call him 'Comic Book Guy' which too me, felt so lazy. Like give him a name for chrissakes! Just crap.
