CrackofmyACE 1 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I thought I'd start a thread dedicated to all things SIMPSONS. If you're my age (24) you were probably raised on this show as well. It's my all time favorite show since I was in the 3rd grade. Yes, I had a Bart Simpson "Eat My Shorts" t-shirt and it is still rolled up in a ball somewhere in my closet at my parents house. I bet if it was in perfect condition it would be worth some money as a collectors item.Anyways, feel free to discuss anything you'd like on the topic of this great television program. It could be your favorite episode, favorite character, favorite scene, favorite dialogue, hidden meanings, the shows evolution, the demise of the show over the last few years since writers got switched (IMO!!!) or deeper issues like political and social satire represented in the show.I think the longest running animated program, and arguably the best TV show EVER is deserved of its own thread.Enjoy!!

Hobbes 1 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Weaseling out of things is important to learn, it's what separates us from the animals. Except the weasel.I think someone has that as their signature, one of my favorite lines from the Simpsons. Link to post Share on other sites
CrackofmyACE 1 Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 My favorite line from the Simpsons (although it would be very difficult to pick one) would have to be Homer talking to Bart and Lisa after being defeated in the Boxcar race :"If something is too hard to do, it's not worth doing!"EDIT: "Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try." This was from the boxcar episode... the other quote was from a different one. DOH!! Link to post Share on other sites

CrackofmyACE 1 Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 My favorite episode (hands down): Homer eats the hallucinogenic chilli pepper at the chilli eating contest and proceeds to trip his nuts off.Homer: "Wait a minute... that wasn't a talking fox! That was just a talking dog" (sighs in relief)Talking Dog: "Find your soulmate Homer!" Link to post Share on other sites
Hobbes 1 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I think my favorite episode, if I had to choose one, is "Lisa's Rival." So much good stuff in there, especially the side story of Homer finding the overturned truck of sugar. Plus it has the "my cat's breath smells like cat food" and "I bent my wookiee" lines from Ralph.Oh, and I like Fridays too. Link to post Share on other sites

CrackofmyACE 1 Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 Another one of my all time favorite episodes: 22 Short Films about Springfield.This was the one with the Pulp Fiction references... ends with Nelson being forced to march down broadway by the tall man in the little car, with his pants down sucking his thumb while the whole town points and gives him a taste of his own medicine: "HAA HAA" Link to post Share on other sites
Hobbes 1 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Homer: [sleepy] Must...protect...sugar. Thieves everywhere. The strong must protect the sweet...the sweet...[snores]Marge: [walking out] Homer?Homer: [with a Spanish accent] In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women...[snores]Marge: Homer...Homer!Homer: Wha...what?Marge: I want you to forget about guarding the stupid sugar! You're being completely paranoid.Homer: Oh, am I? Am I really? Ah ha! [Pulls a man from behind the pile]Thief: [holds teacup and saucer] Hello.Homer: All right, pal: where'd you get the sugar for that tea?Thief: I nicked it when you let your guard down for that split second, and I'd do it again. [sips tea] Goodbye.Homer: You see, Marge? Do you see?Marge: Homer, when are you going to give up this crazy sugar scheme?Homer: Never, Marge! Never. I can't live the button-down life likeyou. I want it all: the terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, the creamy middles. Sure, I might offend a few of the bluenoses with my cocky stride and musky odors -- oh, I'll never be the darling of the so-called "City Fathers" who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards, and talk about "What's to be done with this Homer Simpson?"Marge: Look, just get rid of the sugar, OK?Homer: No! [Marge leaves] [a swarm of bees lands on Homer and the sugar pile] Aah! Hey, get off my sugar. Bad bees! Bad! [gets stung] Ow. Oww! Oh, they're defending themselves somehow.[The beekeepers track their bees down to Homer's sugar pile.]Beekeeper 1: Well, very clever, Simpson, luring our bees to your sugar pile and selling them back to us at an inflated price.Homer: Bees are on the what now?Beekeeper 2: Simpson, you diabolical...we're willing to pay you $2000 for the swarm. [starts counting money]Homer: Deal! [thunder crashes, rain starts]Beekeeper 1: Oh, wait a minute. The bees are leaving.Homer: No! My sugar is melting. Melting! Oh, what a world. [thief spits out his tea]Homer: [weeps] My sugar's gone...Marge: [walk out with umbrella] I'm sorry, Homey.Homer: It's OK, Marge. I've learned my lesson. A mountain of sugar is too much for one man. It's clear now why God portions it out in those tiny packets, and why he lives on a plantation in Hawaii. Link to post Share on other sites

CrackofmyACE 1 Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 I'd have to say the Simpsons started to head downhill sometime around '99. The new episodes just aren't the same... as a matter of fact I'd go as far as saying they're NOTHING like the Simpsons of old, as far as overall witty humor, story development, intelligent scripts etc. I rarely watch the new episodes, but luckily there is a plethora of older great episodes that I can and will enjoy until my dying day.I want to have the first ten seasons of the Simpsons on DVD someday. So far I have seasons and 2 and 3. Link to post Share on other sites
