Gigolo-Aunt Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Was watching some Simpsons this afternoon - some right old classics. From the late 90's it gradually jumped the shark more and more to a point where its been bad longer than it was good - its like it almost tries too hard now. Tries to be funny but you shake your head at it. However, back in the day it was episode after episode of sheer quality What are your favourite episodes? Homer in clown school Germans taking over the power plant Grampa/Burns and the WW2 stolen art collection Homer and the work's baseball team Ralph/Lisa Valentine So many great quotes as well "Super Nintendo Chalmers" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RudiHMFC Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) "Dental plan" "Lisa needs Braces" Sideshow Bob standing on the claw end of all they rakes. Apu Kwik-E Mart song. Some folk'll never eat a skunk but then again some folk'll, like cletus the slack jawed yokel. Too many. Edited August 27, 2015 by Amnesiac Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GforGallo Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Homerpalooza for no reason other than the London symphony Orchestra playing insane in the brain. Saw a new episode recently that just shoe horned pharell Williams in for no reason. It was terrible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daydream Believer Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Tend to remember the quotes more than the specific episodes. "But Marge, every time I learn something new it pushes something else out. Remember when I learned how to make wine and forgot how to drive" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Norm Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) At it's peak, there was simply nothing else near it. It makes you feel a bit sad watching it now, like watching George Best at Hibs. A worldwide phenomenon reduced to pishness. Edited August 27, 2015 by Normthebarman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lord BJ Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 The one where homer eats the blowfish and think he's about to die. I do enjoy. The kids singing theme to shaft cracks me up. I also like the Michael Jackson mental patient one. I don't mind the Simpsons when it's on. Not something I go searching for but my kids enjoy it. Still some clever humour in. It's impossible to keep something that old fresh and I think it's probably aimed at a different demographic than your in nowadays GA[emoji2] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martoon Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Not a fan myself but my wife and 12 year old lad love it. Don't know it's name but the episode when a new employee (Grimes?) hates Homer is funny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bunny Munro Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Homer: "My name is Mr Burns, I believe you have a letter for me" Post Office Worker: "Ok Mr Burns, what's your first name?" Homer: "...I don't know Maude: "We're talking about S.E.X in front of the C.H.I.L.D.R.E.N." Krusty "Sex Cauldron? I thought they closed that place down?" Kent Brockman: "We've come up with a camera so tiny, it fits in the oversized novelty hat." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hunky Dory Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 The X files episode was the best. Close thread. Highlights include: The lie detector - 'Do you understand?' 'Yes' BOOM The eerie music, then the orchestra drives past Willie shouting 'Kill it' Homer jiggling on the treadmill The sign that says 'die', then 'diet' and Homer screams and runs away. Not seen that episode for years, need to find it on YT tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tian447 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Old Simpsons from about 10 years ago was absolutely quality, and absolutely nothing could rival it. Stuff like this was amazing and still has replay value. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hunky Dory Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Enjoying reading these. There was one clip where Lisa asked Milhouse to pass a note to Nelson that said something like 'guess who likes you?'. When Nelson turned round Milhouse was looking at him and smiled. The next scene was Milhouse in the ambulance. One of the best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sawdust Caesar Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Marge, climbing into bed: "Grampa is driving me up the wall." Homer: "What are you telling me for, he's your father-in-law." When Homer gets prescribed medical marijuana and turns into a stoner. Marge makes him give it up he is sitting at dinner stressing out, he pulls out a spliff from his shirt pocket and Marge asks him why he kept that and he says "as a reminder, Marge, as a reminder." And written on the spliff is 'Dentist Tuesday'. I love the Halloween shows, Hell Toupee, when a wig made of a recently executed Snake possesses Homer, is a particular favourite.
