Topic: The Simpsons - The Blurst of thread

Didn't ever remember seeing The Cartridge Family on TV, think I only saw it the first time on the DVD of season 6.

I think on DVD’s and Disney+ now it’s in the correct order, but did not air correctly at the time. Luckily with The Simpsons being how it is, there were no major continuity issues.

I bought the video when it came out to watch that one

Watched The PTA Disbands tonight.

I estimated one joke every 5 seconds and one iconic line every minute. This is "pinnacle of human culture" writing.

[Sheer Magnetism]

A Streetcar Named Marge doesn't get aired now because of the New Orleans song at the beginning of the play.

Fun fact: by a bizarre coincidence that episode was actually shown in the UK at the same time as the New Orleans hurricane and floods. I remember watching it and thinking there was no way they wouldn't have cut out the song. But they didn't.

"OH YEAH THE TAXES, THE FINGER THING MEANS THE TAXES!"

[Mercer]

Bart: Lisa and I built your room.
Rod: [taking down poster in Rod's new bedroom] But I don't like this clown!
Bart: Ah, I wouldn't take it down if I were you. It's a load-bearing poster. [a crack ripples through the upper wall and up to the ceiling]
Apu: This is the room with electricity. But it has too much electricity. So, I don't know, you might want to wear a hat.
Flanders: Uh-huh. [walks further down the hallway] Floor feels a little gritty here.
Moe: Yeah we ran out of floorboards there, so we painted the dirt. Pretty clever!
Flanders: [walking down the extremely small and narrow hallway] Oh, something is definitely wrong with this hallway. [opens a 4-inch-tall door]
Barney: Come on in! It's your master bedroom! [Ned shuts the dollhouse-sized door] Ow! My nose!
Flanders: Well, I've seen about enough.
[outside of the Flanders' rebuilt house]
Homer: So, Flanders, what do you think of the house that love built? [the Flanders' rebuilt house collapses] Aw, shoot...
Flanders: [after cleaning his glasses, but the lenses fall out and puts his glasses back on as he tries to calm himself down, understanding that the townspeople has done their best] Now, calm down, Neddly diddily diddily diddily, doodily. They did their best shoddilyddily iddily iddily diddily diddily. Gotta be nice, hostilitydidildilidilly... [unable to control his emotions and instead, starts to snap] AW, HELL-DIDDLY-DING-DONG-CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!! CAN'T YOU MORONS DO ANYTHING RIGHT??!?!?!?!?! [everyone gasps]
Marge: Ned! We meant well, and everyone here tried their best.
Flanders: (to Marge) Well, my family and I can't live in good intentions, Marge! Oh, your family's out of control, but we can't blame you, because you have gooood intentions!
Bart: Hey! Back off, man!
Flanders: (to Bart) Ooh, okay, duuuuuuude, I wouldn't want you to have a cow, maaaaaaan! Here's a catchphrase you'd better learn for your adult years: "Hey, buddy, GOT A QUARTER?!" [everyone gasps]
Bart: I am shocked and appalled.
Lisa: Mr. Flanders, with all due respect, Bart didn't do anything.
Flanders: (sarcastic gasp of surprise and to Lisa) Do I hear the sound of butting in? It's got to be little Lisa Simpson, Springfield's answer to a a QUESTION NO ONE ASKED!
Chief Wiggum: (laughs)
Flanders: (to Wiggum) What do we have here? The long flabby arm of the law? The last case you got the bottom of WAS A CASE OF MALLOWMARS!
Krusty: [opening a notebook] Mallomars, oh, haha. That's going in the act. [begins writing].
Flanders: (to Krusty) Oh yeah, the clown. The only one of you buffoons who doesn't make me laugh! [Krusty ignores him]. (to Lenny) And as for you, I don't know you, but I'm sure you're a jerk!
Lenny: Hey, I've only been here a few minutes! What's going on?
Flanders: (to Moe) You ugly, hate-filled man.
Moe: [acting bravely]. Hey, hey, I may be ugly and hate-filled, but I... um, what was the third thing you said?
Flanders: (to Milhouse) WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT, FOUR-EYES?!
Millhouse: But, you have glasses too.
Flanders: (to his neighbor Homer, coldly and quietly) Homer, you are the worst human being I have ever met.
Homer: Hey, I got off pretty easy.

[bradders1011]

Bart: Lisa and I built your room.

In the den?! May God have mercy on us all.

[Sheer Magnetism]

Was that Milhouse line in an earlier version? 99% sure it isn't in the final episode.

No it was never broadcast. Apparently was either scripted or a deleted scene.

Rev. Lovejoy: WHAT?!

"Next on McGarnagle. McGarnacle is framed for a crime he didn't commit, and only one witness can clear his name, a little sissy boy who's too scaaaaared to come forward"

"You gotta tell 'em what you saw, Billy"

"But I'm so scared McGarnagle"

"You gotta do this one for me Billy, McGarnagle"

"Okay, for you, McGarnagle"

"Well McGarnagle! Billy is DEAD! They slit his throat from ear to ear"

"Hey, I'm trying to eat lunch here!"

"Oh, I have had it! I have had it with this school, Skinner! The low test scores, class after class of ugly, ugly children!"

"Oh, now I really think the children's appearance--"

"Seymour, you are in very, very big trouble."

[my usenme changed?]

There's a few that either don't get aired, or are so butchered by the channel's edit that they may as well not do so.

Whacking Day doesn't get aired because of the animal cruelty aspect, even though that literally is the crux of the episode and gets resolved.

A Streetcar Named Marge doesn't get aired now because of the New Orleans song at the beginning of the play.

The City of New York vs Homer Simpson was pulled from replays after 9/11 and has only had airing in the UK again a decade later, with extensive cuts.

The Cartridge Family was shown in the UK but pulled from US for four years after it was written (so had to be reanimated in part and rejigged and showed as part of S10 when it was written for S6) due to the various gun capers involved (I'd call the comedy with the guns absurdism, but obviously not absurd enough for the US's censors to allow).

And there's loads that have had a lot of content cut, or lines cut out that throw off the whole context of the scene.

Are these episodes on Disney+ by any chance? I want to watch them now.....

I believe so, me and my partner watched them all in a row (up to about S12) last summer and I can't recall them butchering, editing or leaving out anything. I'm fairly certain they're there, content-wise, in their original form.

Sheer - that's top notch stuff.

[Henderson19]

Well Homer, I guess you’re the winner by default.

Default? Woohoo! The two sweetest words in the English language. Default default default!

Gonna sound like those nerds from the Poochie show. But does Lenny have an identical twin??

He is In the street and then in Moe's.

Jump Free Willy, jump! Jump with all your might!

Oh no, Willy didn't make it. And he crushed our boy.

Ugh, what a mess.

I'm only doing what I think is right. I believe Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel.

To jump in, yes the news is live, the footage isn't, it's implied it's from the day before or a couple of days before etc.

A line that always, always makes me laugh:

Selma: 'Her legend will live forever.'

Homer (In thoughts): 'Yeah, the legend of the dog-faced woman!' Out loud: 'Hahaha legend of the dog faced woman, oh that's good!'

Marge: 'Homer, that's very rude of you!'

"Mayor Quimby supports revolving door prisons. Mayor Quimby even released Sideshow Bob, a man twice convicted of attempted murder. Can you trust a man like Mayor Quimby? Vote Sideshow Bob for Mayor"

We don't have bums in our town Marge and if we did they wouldn't rush they'd be allowed to go at their own pace.

"Mayor Quimby supports revolving door prisons. Mayor Quimby even released Sideshow Bob, a man twice convicted of attempted murder. Can you trust a man like Mayor Quimby? Vote Sideshow Bob for Mayor"

Without a Mayor Quimby, our town would really stink.
We wouldn't have a tire yard or a mid-sized roller rink.
We wouldn't have our gallows, or our shiny Bigfoot trap.
It's not the mayor's fault...
That the stadium collapsed!
Quimby: If you were running for mayor, he'd vote for you.
