favorite 'monorail' moment:

watching the first season i have to say Homer is a TOTALLY different character. He has just started an episode watering the plants and telling Bart not to be jealous of the Flanders!

(x-post) It's interesting how the voice actors took a while to find their footing, too. The first year Dan Castellaneta was kinda doing Walter Matthau for Homer. Moe and Burns also sound pretty different in the early eps.

so in watching some of the episodes from the really good seasons i've come across a couple of episodes that i have little or no memory of-- the one in which burns loses his fortune and has to live like a regular joe ("i'm riding the bus!" ... "i'm shopping!") and the one in which the neighbors re-build the flanders'es house after it gets destroyed by a hurricane and via flashback we see ned as a child and his beatnik parents

That whole shopping thing is one of my favorite bits. Krusty coming in to buy "Krusty-O's," Burns asking where the Burns-O's are and Krusty telling him they don't put nobodies on cereal boxes. Then Burns deciding that Count Chocula looks enough like him to count.

That whole hurricane episode is a treasure trove of great jokes. So far as I can tell this is the only episode credited to writer Steve Young, but it's simply amazing. Everything from Rev. Lovejoy in that episode is golden, all the stuff in the psychiatric hospital is great, Rod and Todd in the "Butthole Surfers" and "I'm With Stupid" t-shirts . . . that so much is packed into one 22-minute episode is almost beyond belief.

Almost literally every line in this episode is an A+ joke.
Ned: I just attacked all my friends and neighbors just for trying to help me. I'd like to commit myself.Nurse: Very well. Shall I show you to your room, or would you prefer to be dragged off kicking and screaming? Ned: Ooh, kicking and screaming, please.Nurse: As you wish. [two men in white grab hold of him and drag him away] Ned: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Dr. Foster: Yes, Dr. Foster here. ... Ned Flanders? You're sure? No, no, no, I'll come right over. And may God have mercy on us all. [hangs up] Darling, there's an emergency at the hospital, uh, where are my shoes?Mrs. Foster: [sleepily] I think they're in the den. Dr. Foster: The den? May God have mercy on us all.

― Antoine Bugleboy (Merdeyeux), Thursday, 17 February 2011 17:53 (thirteen years ago) link
"may god have mercy on us all" is something that gets in my head a lot. also i am blaming homer's richard burton thing in the bigger brother episode for my (documented elsewhere) incident of getting flummoxed when trying to think of a word to use instead of 'gallivanting' in a job interview yesterday.

Yeah Hurricaine Neddy is def a brilliant episode. "You folks are free to roam the grounds. Uh, just remember, one of our patients is a cannibal. Try to guess which one! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised."
And the stuff Homer has to infuritate Ned with!
Homer: Ned Flanders, I mock your value system. You also appear foolish to the eyes of others. Ned: Well howdy, Homer! [partition slides up] Ooh, thanks for dropping by!Foster: Hmm. He's not responding. [into microphone] Proceed to level 2 antagonism. [slides down partition] Homer: Past instances in which I professed to like you were fraudulent. Ned: Oh, well, I'll just have to try harder. Heh heh. [partition slides up] Ooh! Thanks for dropping by!Foster: Ah, he's still repressing. [into microphone] Maximum hostility factor. [slide down partition] Homer: I engaged in intercourse with your spouse or significant other. Now that's psychiatry! Eh? Eh?

One line from that ep that's entered my own personal repertory is when Ned yells at Moe.
Ned Flanders: You ugly, hate-filled man! Moe: Hey, hey! I may ugly and hate-filled, but I... uh... what was the third thing you said?

For some reason, I always find myself saying, "There! You found a floor!" to, say, drivers who finally pass me on the left after a mile or so of tailgating me in the right lane (when the left lane is completely clear).
