The Simpsons

luke perry being cemented in canon as krusty's half-brother has had surprisingly few repercussions.

the australia episode is A+++ trayce, what are you on about

marge vs. monorail is classic but I'm getting a bit tired as how it's referred to as the peak of the simpsons

Alec Baldwin/Kim Basinger one is genuinely funny but I feel bad watching it cause it's really what opened up the floodgates

It received mixed reception in Australia, with some Australian fans saying the episode was a mockery of their country.

I wasnt offended by the ep as a mockery, I just thought the jokes were lame and really lazy cliches.

the only thing that bothered me about the ep was that it promoted the idea we drink fosters

^^

what's a good beer to get in australia then - james boar?

who gives a xxxx

james boar? itym boag. And no.

Mountain Goat is p good beerz.

How is it we're having a beer discussion in the simpsons thread when there is a beer thread *right there* *points at ILE new answers*

arf

soz

2. "I call the big one 'Bitey.'"

Yeah, that line's funny enough on its own...but it gets funnier later on, when it lodges itself into Marge's train of thought: I've sold monorails to Brockway, Ogdenville and North Haverbrook!...Is there a chance the track could bend?...I call the big one Bitey!...I've sold monorails to Brockway, Ogdenville and North Haverbrook!...Is there a chance the track could bend?...I call the big one Bitey!

I DO NOT FIND THAT DENTAL PLAN JOKE FUNNY AND NEVER HAVE NOR THE RAKES JOKE ARGHHHHH.

YOU SUCK

^^ That dental plan moment may be when I first realized the Simpsons had ascended to become an all time classic. Right down to the "why are we all laughing" ending.

xp sorry you don't appreciate it, trayce.

...this...this is where I defriend you on fb

ah cah man DENTAL PLAN is awesome.

I must admit that I have no idea what you're all referring to when you talk about the France episode, as I assume you aren't talking about the season 1 episode where Bart did a student exchange with Adil Hoxha of Albania.

Last Exit to Springfield is utterly flawless. Anyone who disagrees is headed straight for the disgusting savage thread.

the albanian exchange student was definitely not season 1

i think the best gag in last exit is where a squeaky, unctuous keeps voting 'nay' @ the union meeting until homer, exasperated, finally asks 'who keeps saying that' & it pans to a pair of guys at the back of the room. one of them is a shrimpy dude in a willy loman sack suit the other this buff germanic dude. the small guy in the same squeaky voice points at the larger, blaming him, exhorts everyone to beat the other dude up & laughs

it is dan

the albanian exchange student was definitely not season 1

no, it totally is

s1 isnt really that good but i kinda think it & s2 get a strangely bad rep - there are some really good moments in most of those episodes

Exch student one was def S1. I am looking at the DVD.

their bad rep is mostly just the contrast w/ what comes next

if the show had only lasted 2 seasons it'd still be classic, just some cool cult cartoon

oooh - the albanian student episode is the same as bart goes to france

best part of last exit to springfield is when he does the chicken dance on the floor

woooooooooooooooooop woopwoopwoopwoopwoopwoop. I have laughed embarrassingly hard at that many times. Also at Homer's yelp when Kent Brockman calls organised labour a 'lumbering dinosaur'.

That and Marge v the Monorail are a stark reminder of just how far this show has fallen.

May I clarify I did not say I think "Last Exit to Springfield" is a bad episode - its not, its great, and so is the monorail episode. I just dont get much out of jokes of extreme repetition.

(cf Peter Griffin whacking his knee)

This is perhaps rather lolworthy irony seeing as I watch my Simpsons DVDs so regularly I have probably seen every single episode of S1-13 about 15-20 times each.

When everyone's in the bunker waiting for the comet, and Moe suggests playing a game where you make an animal sound and people try to guess that sound, and he leads off with some bizarre, unidentifiable yelp/bleat/garble.

And then from Lionel Hutz, when Marge suggests they should tell the truth, "Yeah, but what is truth? If you follow me."

Both season 2. Golden, delicious season 2.

That first one is from Season 6, actually.

That line from Lionel Hutz "if you lived here, you'd be home by now!" was used on a billboard once, which is funny because I thought the point of the line was to prove how ridiculous real estate agents get in their advertising

i like to claim that bob dylan provided the 'nay', uncredited

this line existed as a real estate slogan loooooong before the simpsons was even an idea

"Lenny, can you get this sugar daddy off my back?!"

xp Had no idea; I always assumed that Simpsons did it first...more power to 'em I guess

1.1 - it starts

i'm excited! followed you. sixredfeet.

"What did he say?"
"I dunno, something about being gay."

There is a real estate sign in my town that says this – even more confusingly, it is in front of an office plaza.

It's a good thing, a hoy hoy, but you need an icon.

oh ok, give me a minute. not used to this "twitter" thing.

you've been gallivanting around with that floooooozy of a bigger brother of yours, havenchoo? HAVENCHOO?

^ I have had this circulating in my head all day.

lol i followed u as well, this could be amusing =)

Grandpa Simpson's story in Last Exit To Springfield is their finest hour imo
