Gigolo-Aunt Posted August 27, 2015 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
RudiHMFC Posted August 27, 2015 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
GforGallo Posted August 27, 2015 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
Daydream Believer Posted August 27, 2015 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
Norm Posted August 27, 2015 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
martoon Posted August 27, 2015 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
Bunny Munro Posted August 27, 2015 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
tian447 Posted August 27, 2015 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
Norm Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 "All right! I admit it! I'm the Lindbergh baby! Wah wah! Goo goo! I miss my fly-fly dada!" "Are you stalling for time, or are you just senile?" "A little from column A, a little from column B." Quote
Gigolo-Aunt Posted August 27, 2015 Author 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. That's a Belter that scene. Quote

Rupert Pupkin Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Homer's BBBQ- the extra B is for BYOB. "Don't worry Mr Burns you impressed me, and I don't impress easily . WOW!!!! A blue car " Edited August 27, 2015 by Rupert Pupkin Quote
ToadKiller Dog Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) The one where homer steals Moes car so moe can get the insurance money , Homer on the library cart " must kill moe weeeeee" The Shelly Bobbins ( Mary Poppins ) parody maybe one of the best parodies anytime anywhere .

Sawdust Caesar Posted August 27, 2015 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. Quote

Fitzroy Pointon Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 The best moment ever Agree re it not being half as good as it was back in the early 90's. I remember my mate who had sky making me VHS copies every now and again back about 91/92 and the videos were almost worn out. Hard to pinpoint any particular episodes but a few I can think of a few clips that had me in stitches....... Quote
Zico Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Series 3-10 is up there with the greatest TV ever made. Consistently hilarious for years and so well written - it's almost impossible to pick 5 out of that. It's crap now but was unmissable back in the day. Some great lines so far and here's a few others... Homer - let the bears pay the bear tax, I pay the homer tax. Lisa - No, that's the homeowner tax. Chief Wiggum - this is papa bear. Put out an APB for a male suspect driving a...car of some sort...heading in the direction of...you know, that place that sells chilli. Suspect is hatless. Repeat, hatless. Grampa - I used to be with it, but then they changed what 'it' was. Now, what I'm with isn't it and what's 'it' seems weird and scary to me. Hans Moleman - I was saying Boo-urns. Quote

You could write an essay dissecting why that is such a spot on piece of humour. Edited August 28, 2015 by GlasgoJambo Quote
GforGallo Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Another scene was in the softball espisode when Marge pans the video-camera to Homer sitting on the bench, he proceeds to start scratching his groin to which Marge quickly pulls away and says 'Oh Dear!', 'Kids, let me know when dad has finished stratching himself'.....10 seconds pass.....'Kids?' 'We'll tell you mom'. What was all the nasty things that happened to the all stars? One fell into purgatory Another got tied up saving: cats, dogs and a piano in a fire Sax got arrested and charged with all the unsolved murders on account of being from Detroit There was a bar room brawl with Barney about British prime-ministers Another got gigantism of the head One thought he was a chicken through hypnosis What an episode! Catchy soon as well. Can't remember who,but one of them wasn't allowed to play as he wouldn't shave what Mr burns thought were sideburns. Quote
