(It’s hard for me, personally, not to go with “Booooooooo! Smithers, are they booing me? No sir, they’re saying Boo-urns! Boo-urns! Are you saying Boo or Boo-urns? BOOOOO! I was saying boo-urns…”)

Mr Burns: You’re Actually pleased with your Appearance? My Boy You’re the fattest thing I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been on safari!
Mike Rotch! Hey, has anybody seen Mike Rotch lately
After watching rise of the planet of the apes: “I hate every ape I see, from chimpan A to chimpan,Z… They finally made a monkey out of me”
i love the episode where he gets the tattoo of mom and she has to use the christmas money to get it removed and he keeps getting poked and says”ow quit it ow quit it”
my favorite episode is the one with the chili contest where homer eats so much chili that he’s ending up being on a druglike trip 😀
Works on contingency? No, money down!
Lionel Hutz: All right gentleman. I will take your case. But I will require a thousand dollar retainer.
Bart: A thousand dollars? But your ad says “no money down”.
Lionel Hutz: Oh, they got this all screwed up.
Bart: So you don’t work on a contingency basis?
Lionel Hutz: No, money down. Oops, I shouldn’t have the Bar Association logo here either.
I love the jingle from the Mr. Plow episode, and it’s a nice change to see Homer working hard at something instead of his usual couch-potato self!
I guess my favourite joke is in the episode “22 Short Films About Springfield” where Seymour Skinner invites superintendend chalmers for lunch. Which ends with Skinners house and fire claiming it’s the northern light in his kitchen. I could describe the whole thing, but it’s easier if you guys watch it:

It would be Homer’s “kids, you tryed your best and failed miserably. The thing you learn from this is: never try!”
Or
“I can make people’s life misery and no one can do anything about it… I’m just like GOD!”
“Do it for her.”
Come family, let’s all sit around the TV’s warm glowing warming glow…

Urge to kill rising!
Ah how I love you The Simpsons. I wish you were as good as those episodes were once.
Oh my God! The Dead have risen, and they’re voting Republican.
My favorite quote:
“Books are useless! I only ever read one book, “To Kill A Mockingbird,” and it gave me absolutely no insight on how to kill mockingbirds! Sure it taught me not to judge a man by the colour of his skin… but what good does that do me?”- Homer Simpson
DO IT FOR HER.
EDIT: Dang, someone beat me to it!
A classic to be sure! 🙂
One of the most heartfelt Simpsons moments of all time.
Marge Vs. The Monorail, the song is amazing!
“You’ll have to speak up, I’m wearing a towel”
Hard to pick just one. There’s been so many!
“Welcome to Itchy and Scratchy Land, where nothing can possibl-i go wrong. Ooops. Possibl-EE go wrong. Huh. That’s the first thing that’s ever gone wrong.”
Wait a minute, there’s a lemon behind that rock!
Awwwww, I have three kids and no money. Why can’t I have NO kids and THREE money?!
“Lisa! Get in here!
…In this house we obey the laws of THERMODYNAMICS!!!”
Patty Bouvier: There goes the last lingering shred of my heterosexuality
Jay Sherman: Welcome to “Coming Attractions”. I’m your host, Jay Sherman. Thank you. Tonight, we review an aging Charles Bronson in “Death Wish 9.”
[Charles Bronson is in a hospital bed]
Charles Bronson: I wish I was dead. Oy!
I love all the Treehouse of Horror Specials, and among them I think that Treehouse of Horror V is the best.
Cliff Bart Cliff!
