Help me out, Simpsons fans

my sig is from the Simpsons...no one has recognized it yet...I'm waiting BrodieMan

I noticed it...*great* episode. I am having no respect for dirt! Get out of here you fools!

I am direspectful to dirt! Can you see I am serious!...yes,a great episode.You win...got it before BrodieMan...I knew there was another reason to like you TWT

bull. i got it yesterday when i said "hey sades, i like your new sig." go read the cartoon thread if you don't believe me. twt gets points for NOTHING.

Ha! and he misquoted...something I get points for... good work brodie...if that is your real name

hey, sades, since you have halloween on the brain, what's your favorite halloween episode of the simpsons?
i thought the shining paroday was awesome, and the episode with hugo, bart's evil twin ruled, too

hibbert: wait, that means barts been the evil twin all along!

bart: oh, don't look so surprised.

oh by far,I thought the adaptation of Edgar Alan Poe's the Raven was so great.I just sat in total hysterics..."Nevermore,Nevermore." It just goes to show what a well rounded show the Simpsons really is.Refrences for all!

speaking of clever references appearing in simpsons halloween episodes do you remember the one where kang and kodos where going to eat the simpsons? or so they thought....
with lisa blowing dust off the book?

that's a parody of a classic twilight zone episode, and there's a short story called "to serve man" that it was based on. i read the story, and the surprise ending is the coolest thing i've ever read. of course, if you've seen the twilight zone or simpsons episodes i'm talking about, you know how it ends, but it is excellent!

how to cook forty humans
how to cook for forty humans

The Halloween episode I liked the best for the quality of all three segments is "Treehouse of Horror IV", with 'The Devil & Homer Simpson' (Homer sells his soul to The Devil, Flanders, for a donut), 'Terror at 5 1/2 Feet' (parody of the classic "Twilight Zone" episode 'Nightmare at 20,000 Feet', with a Gremlin only Bart can see attacking the school bus), and 'Bart Simpson's Dracula' (Mr. Burns as Dracula, by way of Gary Oldman and Coppola).
My favorite single Halloween segment is probably still 'The Shinning' from "Treehouse of Horror V", an excellent parody of Kubrick's The Shining.

that's great...LOL...*sigh*...I love the Simpsons...anyone who doesn't,just doesn't know any better.

Anyone find this oddly interesting, disturbing or whatnot:

Moe: "English, eh? We saved your *** in World War II..."
Hugh: "Yeah well we saved your arse in World War III..."

Meanwhile, my favorite character is supporting character Homer. In saying this I mean he's usually at his best when not the centre peice for the story. Ie: The episode where Bart falls in love with Jessica Lovejoy...:

Marge: "Have you noticed anything strange about Bart lately?"
Homer: "New glasses?"
Marge: "No, I think there's something wrong with him."
Homer: "Probably misses his old glasses."

___________

Homer: "And then we'd get the chair."
Marge: "That's not what I meant."
Homer: "It was, Marge, admit it."

___________

Homer: "Sunrise sunset, sunrise sunset, the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon, yes, we have no bananas..."
Marge: "Our little boy is growing up, isn't he?"
Homer: "No. Didn't you hear? They have no bananas!! They have no bananas to-da-a-aaay...."

Wha-...LOL...where did you get those? The top of your noodle?Those are the most off-beat ones...and fun-nee...LOL...good Silver Bullet...good.

i'm furious because they haven't started the new season yet. i'm gonna freak if they don't start showing new episodes.

Same here.I'm going through withdrawls....whaaa! I want my Simpsons:bawl:

all that has to happen is for baseball to end ahh... sweet relief. when that happens (i'm assuming, i'm not positive) they'll get back to the simpsoys. not only that, but basketball will be starting up and MJ's back! hooray!

Baseball?!
The REAL game is softball!!

"We'll Mr. Burns had done it,
the power plant had won it,
with Rodger Clemmings clucking all the while,
Mike Trocious' tragic illness made us smile,
while soapbox lay unconscience on the bar rool tile,
We're talking Softball,
from main to San Diego,
talking softball,
Mattingly and Kensaigo,
Ken Griffiths grotesquley swollen jaw,
Steve Bracks and his run in with the law,
We're talking Softball,
Ozzie and the Straw."

Note:
Some of those names are obviously wrong, in the song it's all about the ryming, and some of the names get muffelled and I can't hear them properaly, and that was entirely off the top of my head, and in Australia we don't get baseball anyway -- so I still think I did pretty good.

"Sports aren't everything!"
"Sports, sports, sports, sports, sports, sports, sports, sports....Marge, Bart gets to ride up front with me today 'cos he's good at sports."

Just so you know, the names are:

Roger Clemens, Mike Scoscia (I think I spelled that right), Don Mattingly, Jose Canseco, Ken Griffey Jr., Steve Sax, Ozzie Smith, and Daryl Strawberry. GREAT episode, BTW.

"It's like there's a party in my mouth, and everyone's invited."

Burns: "Strawberry, you're sitting out now. This next picture is left-handed."
Starberry: "But Skip, I've got 9 home runs today."
Burns: "Yes, you should be very proud of yourself, but this is strategy (or pitching matchups or something, I forget)...it's what good managers do to win ballgames."

Playing the percentages.

Ah yes, I forgot. Thank you.

Saw one of the funniest episodes of the Simpson's in recent history last night, remember we're behind you in Australia, so you've probably all already seen it, but it was an episodic episode (like say the "22 Short Films About Springfield Episode") in which the family travels to Florida, kills an alligator, escapes via train (sorta) work in a diner, get caught by the cops, tried by the state, work in a chain gang, are released when the alligator re-emerges alive -- leaving only North Dakota as the one state they're allowed in.

It reminded me of other epic episodes, "The City of New York Vs. Homer Simpson", "The Grapes of Wrath" (that wasn't it's name, but it was close), "Thirty Minutes over Tokyo", and a few others. I wouldn't say the Australian epidsode though. It had some great quotes, honestly.

"You're insincenre....I like that."

"You're stealing my trailer....I like that."

"You're presumptious...I like that."

And now some that weren't from the Diner Lady....

"SPRING BREAK!"

Heh heh heh.
Did it go for an hour. It sure felt like it.
One hour....I like that.
