Slashdot Mirror

2F05

Oh, and IMHO, Xerox bears a lot of resemblance to HyperGlobalMegaNet.

Actually, if you pay attention to the show, the websites they mention frequently really exist.

The one that leaps to mind is WhatBadgersEat.com used in the episode where the town is split in half and Homer is the mayor of the sucky half.

The TV show Alias set up a Followers of Rambaldi fake site, which I've seen but may not be working now. (Much info is on this fan site.) Also in alias they once mentioned an IP address directly, and while I couldn't determine what that computer was (legally ;-) ) because it wasn't running any obvious services, it did exist, which makes me wonder if it was deliberate or if the show's author's didn't consider that a randomly selected IP address stands a pretty good chance of existing now-a-days.

And I once located the source information for a quick display on the Egyptian god Seth used on Daniel Jackson's screen in Stargate: SG-1. It was actually from a wierd site that I assume is info for a role-playing game, though it gave no hint that the site didn't really believe it and it's sometimes hard to tell... I often wonder if the web site was told what use their text was put to.

[2F09] Homer the Great

These people are more geeky than slashdot. Episode AABF22. Hope this link keeps you from doing work until lunch on this crappy monday :)

The internet? Is that thing still around?

(AABF20)

Not exact scripts, but the Simpsons Archive has the highlights of each episode at least. Lot of cool stuff there :)

Doonesbury's always had 5. And other serious strips.

Someone has enumerated Simpsons finger jokes.

Supposedly the Simpsons God had five fingers.

FYI - Frink said that in episode 2F01 "Itchy and Scratchy Land" (aired 02-Oct-94).

More recently, Disney's California Adventure was referenced in episode EABF01 "The Great Louse Detective" aired 15-Dec-02. I found this summary online:

"The Simpsons head into a maximum-security prison to meet Sideshow Bob. Marge, eyeing all the murderers on Death Row wonders aloud whether they should have brought the kids to such a horrible place. Lisa ... pipes up with, 'Well, it's better than Disney's California Adventure.' And the rest of the family starts complaining about the park." source

We're plunking $1 billion into the Springfield Interchange near where I live

Clearly what you need is a monorail.

I think what you meant to say was: "My eyes! The goggles do nothing!"

Read: Education. Prevention.

Police Chief: My Mayor, as you asked we have devised a scheme to catch every criminal in the city before they can comitt a crime.

Mayor: That's amazing! Let's get started

Police Chief: There is a catch. It only catches criminals registered in our "Ex-Con Database" and 10% of the people imprisoned will be random towns-people who have done no wrong.

Mayor: But, it catches criminals right?

Police Chief: Well, yes, but...

Mayor: Then let's do it!

Homer: [answering the door] Who is it?
Voice: Goons.
Homer: Who?
Voice: Hired goons.
Homer: Hired goons? [opens the door]
Goons: [take Homer roughly away]

(Aaah yes...The Simpsons Archive. Best site ever!)

What kind of monster is this comic book guy to survive that!

I've always wanted to beat up my maid and now I can do it with the blessing of the lord (and a large metal rod)!

Ah hell, I'll just link to it: "Missionary: Impossible"

Ralph Wiggum once said the immortal lines "What's a battle?". Seeing stuff like this makes me say "What's a banner ad?".

no, it was the simpsons, see here: "We need some more Secret Sauce. Put this mayonnaise in the sun." -- Mr. Peterson, manager of Krusty Burger to Abe Simpson

Getting money out of spammer that's trying to get money out of you. Hmmmm....

Sure it may work -- in theory. In theory, communism works. In theory. (simpsons credit)

I'm surprised no one has refrenced this yet... http://www.snpp.com/episodes/2F13.html Andy: Hear ye, hear ye. This session will now come to order. With the cooperation of the US Department of State, we have present today one Bart Simpson.

[everyone mutters amongst themselves]

I believe he has something to say. Bart?

Bart: [goes to microphone, scratches, clears throat several times]

I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I did to your country.

[everyone applauds]

Andy: [jovial] Well, you're free to go, Bart...right after your additional punishment.

Homer: Punishment?

Andy: Well, a mere apology would be a bit empty, eh? Let the booting begin.

Homer: Booting?

Andy: Aw, it's just a little kick in the bum.

[a man with a gigantic boot walks in]

Bart: Y'uh oh.

I believe Roger Myers already has the copyright on the stick man, except he called it Manic Mailman.

This is more of a Shelbyville idea, anyway...

I'd say the obvious one would be Pygmoelian.

How about the one with Sideshow Luke Perry flying out of the cannon through the Acid display at the Kwik-E-Mart?

Ahhhhhhhhh... My face, my valuable face!

Krusty Gets Kancelled

How about this one?

"Hibbert: Hmmmm. Through the midst of all the killing and skin-eating, somehow we forgot the looovvve." :-)

No shit. You hit it right on the head with that post. Tell that to the AC who dissed me and whomever modded me down as "Overrated" for making a Simpsons related post on the Tintin/Speilberg topic yesterday. I've been watching the Simpsons since "Aye Caramba" was the catch phrase (since the beginning), and I still laugh my ass off at the episodes that I have seen 20 times a piece in reruns. If they don't think someone is funny, tell them to forget about and leave them alone. Like you said, not everyone is as cool as "they" are.

By the way, nice Rev. Lovejoy-Simpsons quote. Here is a link to some that I found on the web (mostly Homer though). SNPP has them sorted by episode. It's a pretty sweet Simpsons site.

You sound like you know what you're talking about, but should you really be discussing issues of a legal nature with the psuedonym "Lionel Hutts"? Perhaps you should find a more respectable identity to assume on Slashdot.

Besides, it's Lionel Hutz.

I don't know what tintin is, but from the sounds of these posts, maybe we should send this one to "Steven Spielberg's non-union Mexican exquivalent" and keep it south of the border.

[2F31] A Star is Burns

Burns: Get me Steven Spielberg!
Smithers: He's unavailable.
Burns: Then get me his non-union Mexican equivalent! [later] Listen, Senor Spielbergo, I want you to do for me what Spielberg did for Oskar Schindler.
Spielbergo: Er, Schindler es bueno, Senor Burns es el diablo.
Burns: Listen, Spielbergo, Schindler and I are like peas in a pod: we're both factory owners, we both made shells for the Nazis, but mine worked, dammit! Now go out there and win me that festival!

-- Burns puts his foot down, "A Star is Burns"

Since the headline reminds me of the Comic Book Guy, I will dedicate this post to him. Besides, if this cluster, supercomputer, beo thingy is only 85th fastest in the world, you would think that they would use it to figure out the Comic Book Guy's rating scale (or something of equal importance) as opposed to some physics mumbo jumbo.

An excerpt:

[BABF01] Treehouse of Horror X: Desperately Xeeking Xena

(The Collector, slowly, strikes a dramatic pose)

Collector(CBG): Lucite hardening ... must end life in classic Lorne Greene pose from "Battlestar Galactica." Best ... death ... ever!

If you didn't get it, read this script.

Burns: Yes, I'd like to send this letter to the Prussian consulate in Siam by aeromail. Am I too late for the 4:30 autogyro?
Kid: Uh, I better look in the manual.
Burns: [groans] Oh, the ignorance.
[sees Homer and Grandma walking out]
Wait a minute, I know that woman. But from when? And in what capacity?
[spies "Wanted" posted with Grandma's young picture on it]
[gasps] It's her. At last!
Kid: This book must be out of date: I don't see "Prussia", "Siam", or "autogyro".
Burns: Well, keep looking!
The book of Burns, 3F06

I still laugh when i think of "the collector" episode of simpsons

Collector: [pulls out a phaser] Stop right there. I have here the only working phaser ever built. It was fired only once, to keep William Shatner from making another album.

So you can keep your number... big deal.

Or as Phoney McRingRing said: "Well, scientists have discovered that even monkeys can memorize ten numbers. Are you stupider than a monkey?".

Having 4 crappy choices isn't competition.

Up and atom!

Someone didn't get the joke.

Shut! Up!

" I want what the dog's having "

Does it come with a monogrammed shirt?

You mean this episode. But here's a real-life example.

this one

Horst: [threatingly] We Germans aren't all smiles und sunshine.
Burns: [recoils in mock horror]
Oooh, the Germans are mad at me. I'm so scared! Oooh, the Germans!
[hiding behind Smithers] Uh oh, the Germans are going to get me!
Horst: Stop it!
Man 2: Stop, sir.
Burns: Don't let the Germans come after me.
Oh no, the Germans are coming after me.
Man 2: Please stop the `pretending you are scared' game, please.
Horst: Stop it! Stop it!
Burns: [brief pause, then resumes]
No! They're so big and strong!
Man 2: Stop it.
Horst: Stop it, Mr. Burns.
Man 2: Please stop pretending you are scared of us, please, now.
Burns: Oh, protect me from the Germans! The Germans...
Horst: Burns, STOP IT!

SNPP, 8F09

Actually i just considered myself quite busy. Damn I wish i could devote this much time to a hobby. Although this is good its not nearly as good as The Simpsons Archive. ANYTHING Simpsons is there.

Owner: Take this object, but beware it carries a terrible curse!
Homer: [worried] Ooooh, that's bad.
Owner: But it comes with a free Frogurt!
Homer: [relieved] That's good.
Owner: The Frogurt is also cursed.
Homer: [worried] That's bad.
Owner: But you get your choice of topping!
Homer: [relieved] That's good.
Owner: The toppings contains Potassium Benzoate.
Homer: [stares]
Owner: That's bad.

---- The book of Homer, 9F04

This reminds me of that group of people who wanted to start an offshore, man-made, floating country and call it Oceania. In theory it sounds kind of interesting but it wouldn't take long for all the whacked-out drugs users to pull the cork on this Utopian farce.

For those of you who aren't aware, this is Cypress Creek.

YES but Homer Simpson was the Internet King

At the ICANN Building in New York City, a meeting of nations is in progress.
Russian official: The Soviet Union will be pleased to offer amnesty to your wayward website.
American official: The Soviet Union? I thought you guys broke up.
Russian official: Yes, that's what we wanted you to think! [evil laugh] -- "Simpson Tide", Episode 3G04

Lucky's description of why he did it

--
"Bill Gates: Oh, I didn't get rich by writing a lot of checks!"

As seen on The Simpsons , all Bill Gates has to do is "buy him out".

... we all earned from Bart in episode 2F20 (The conclusion to "Maggie Shot Mr. Burns") that no court would ever accept DNA evidence!

He's not just some guy, Marge. He's a Carny and part of a noble tradition.
Carnies built this country-the carnival part of it anyway -- and though
they may be rat-like in appearance, they are truly kings among men.

That is honestly the first thing that popped in my head when viewing the animation.
