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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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.

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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daydream Believer Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Tend to remember the quotes more than the specific episodes.

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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?"

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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigolo-Aunt Posted August 27, 2015 Author 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. That's a Belter that scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Салатные палочки Posted August 28, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted August 28, 2015 Share 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.
