300 Episodes of the Simpsons
circletimessquare writes "As we approach 300 Episodes of the Simpsons, Entertainment Weekly tries to pick the 25 best episodes of The Simpsons (and the one episode they consider the worst). They do a pretty good job. But since "best of" lists like this one are always rife with debate and contention, I can't think of a better place than Slashdot to send up EW (pun partially intended)."
Homer: "OK, no more deer for a week"
Marge: " Homer, did you say deer or beer?"
Homer: "Deer."
"Want in one hand and spit in the other and see which one fills up first." - My Dad
I haven't looked at their picks yet, but I know the best episode ever.
The halloween special with the shinning. It's got 3 super hilarious quotes and is overall the best episode ever.
"no beer no tv make homer something something"
"shhhh, you wanna get suuuued?"
"that's willy's time!"
The GeekNights podcast is going strong. Listen!
Me post first? That's unpossible...
"It's a tarp!" -- Dyslexic Admiral Ackbar
CBG: "Immediately after reading the 25 best episodes I was on the Internet registering my disgust and complaints."
Bart: "But they provide you with free and quality content!"
CBG: "Worst. Top 25 list. ever."
My favourite line:
(Mr Burns to Homer): "You're the fattest thing I've ever seen. And I've been on safari."
Apu: "Mister Simpson, please do not offer my GOD a peanut."
Stupud tipo.
Ñ'
hmmm ... seen the list, and while I agree with some (Mr Plow, Monorail, Homer Badman) it misses out some of my all-time favourites
...
Deep Space Homer
the one where Homer gets fat to work from home
the episode where Bart wins the elephant
any episode where Barney is sober
and now for some classic simpsons quotes (all atributed to Homer of course - who else!):
"I'm a white male, aged 18 to 49. *Everybody* cares what I think!"
"Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try."
"I know I'm not usually a praying man, but if you're up there, Please Superman help me!"
"Homer no function beer well without."
"Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals... except the weasel."
"To alcohol - the cause of, and solution to all of life's problems."
and my all-time favourite
"Maybe for once, someone will call me 'sir' without adding 'You're making a scene'." - Homer J Simpson
"Because it's there." - George Mallory, when asked why he wanted to climb Mt Everest, March 18, 1923 (New York Times)
"Worst Episode Ever"
"Ask not what your country can do for you." --John F. Kennedy
Easily my favorite, if for just some of the lines:
"In this house we obey they laws of thermodynamics"
"I'll have no more of your Vasser bashing young lady."
"I guess I'll just have to go hide in the crawl space"
"I hate it when he does that."
"There's just something so unwholesome about flying a kite at night."
I demand a million helicopters and a DOLLAR!
Save me Jeebus! Save me!
Karma: The shiznight, mostly because I am the Drizzle.
The fact that The Simpsons is getting hype from Entertainment Weekly further proves this show lost its satrical bite (and relevance) a LONG time ago.
Homer: Doh!
:-)
Lisa: A deer!
Marge: A female deer!
Perfect! Just perfect!
Here's some other random quotes:
Homer: "Kids, kids. I'm not going to die. That only happens to bad people."
Bart: "What about Abraham Lincoln?"
Homer: "Uh, he sold poison milk to school children."
Homer: "No, no, no, Lisa. If adults don't like their jobs, they don't go on strike. They just go in every day and do it really half-assed."
The best one is from the episode where the kids are snowed in at the school.
Homer and Flanders are driving there to rescue them when they run over something in the road.
Flanders: "We just ran over something."
Homer: "Yeah, I hope it was Flanders."
I laughed my ass off for probably 5 straight minutes.
IMHO, the clown college was the better of the two
I'll thank you not to refer to Princeton that way.
I don't know about best episode ever, but the best scene ever was when Bart handed out the music for the opening hymn at church - In the Garden of Eden by I. Ron Butterfly. The poor organist had to play 28 minutes non-stop and then collapsed.
Lasers Controlled Games!
Man, that *is* a great episode, but where I lost bladder control was during the song, which I really think is the very best one:
Babar
But I don't even believe in Jeebus!
I'd suggest you don't use Slashdot as your only news source, or you will suffer permanent brain damage.
There's nary an animal alive that can out run a greased scottsman. - Groundskeeper Willy
JS: Mr. Hutz, do you have any actual evidence to present?
LH: Well, I have lots of hearsay and conjecture, those are *kinds* of evidence.
LH: I lost the case, so your pizza's free.
MS: But we won the case.
LH: That's ok, the box is empty.
And of course the "No(,) money down" gag...
Homer:
"Welcome to the Internet, my friend.
How can I help you ? "
customer:
" I am interested in upgrading my 28.8 KBaud
Internet connection to a 1.5 MBit fiber optic T1 line.
Will you be able to provide an IP router, that's
compatible with my TokenRing Ethernet LAN
configuration ? "
(pause)
Homer: Can i have some money now?
Open Source Java Web Forum with LDAP authentication
That has THE best quote, IMO. (from snpp):
Man: But presidente, America tried to kill you!
Fidel Castro: Ah, they're not so bad. They even named a street after me in San Francisco!
Man 2: [whispers in Castro's ear]
Fidel Castro: It's full of what?!
