A raid?! Curly?!

The Lincoln Squirrel... has been assassinated.

Ladies and gentlemen, uh, we've just lost the picture, but what we've seen speaks for itself. The Corvair spacecraft has apparently been taken over, 'conquered' if you will, by a master race of giant space ants. It's difficult to tell from this vantage point whether they will consume the captive Earthmen or merely enslave them. One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the ants will soon be here. And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords. I'd like to remind them as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves

I slugged some jerk in Tahoe
They gave me one-to-three
My high priced lawyer sprung me on a technicality
I'm just visiting Springfield Prison, I get to sleep at home tonight

Watched the latest Halloween Horror (I still tune in for that episode each year on principle) and it was surprisingly solid - although the best bit of it did rely on callbacks to the best of the Simpson's first 15 years so make of that what you will

Radio Bart

Kent: The time has come for finger-pointing, and most of them are squarely aimed at the boy's parents.
Homer: It's not our fault! We didn't want the boy, he was an accident!
Marge: Homer!!!
Homer: Uh... could you edit that last part out?
Kent: Mr. Simpson, we're live, coast-to-coast!
Homer: D'oh!

Chief Wiggum: I'm afraid we've got a budget problem, Marge. Your boy picked a bad time to fall down a well. If he had done it at the beginning of the fiscal year, no problemo.

Such a great episode. Great visual gags too like when Bart pranks Homer on the radio and then you see Homer get his shot gun.

Also the charity single for Timmy is great

Listening to the In Our Time podcast there's always a bit where the voiceover says "Melvin and his guests" and I always think "Melvin and the Squirrels"

Homer having to quit his job at the bowling alley is the saddest moment in TV history.

Off the top of my head one of those?

The real Principal Skinner [voiced by Martin Sheen], this is such a bad episode though when The Simpsons started it's decline from the golden era[The Principal and the Pauper], in which Principal Skinner tuned out to be a fraud, a character we got to know over 8 years just thrown away,  worse than that, the real Skinner was so unlikeable, & the end of the episode was bizarre.

 The episode might have worked if it turned out to be a dream, after Principal Skinner ate too much cheese the previous night.

Don't worry, Joey. We'll make it to California someday

Chester Lampwick is a good one, just watched that one recently after a while.

[Alisson Wonderland]

This and 'it was the style at the time' are Grandpa's two best moments for me. I've said the above to my partner before (she's only 3 years younger but seems to have enough of a gap that she doesn't understand some of the cultural touchpoints I bring up) whenever she talks about new music she likes that I've never heard of.

"Are you trying to stall us, or are you just senile?"

"A little from Column A, a little from Column B."

This is another brilliant Grandpa quote and one I quite often quote in life when given two options

For about 20 years now when I park at Tesco and put it exactly in the middle between the lines I think to myself in Lou's voice 'woo-ooh, that's sweet'

[Roopy]

Homer: Bless you boys
Marge: Homer, those are ice cream men
Homer: I know

[disgraced cake]

Hmmm, I wonder why he's so eager to go the garage?

The garage? Hey fellas, the garage! Well ooh la-di-da Mr Frenchman!

Well what do you call it?

A car hole!


A counterfeit jeans ring operating out of my car hole!

Someone on a work call used the word 'defectivity' and all I could think was 'adultivity.'

Seen an article heading recently that said The Simpsons is good again, is it true?

[disgraced cake]

HEY! JOEY JOJO!

[mattD]

Seen an article heading recently that said The Simpsons is good again, is it true?

Caught the odd new episode here and there and wouldnt say it's good again. They might be better and more watchable than the absolute dross churned out for over a decade but still a pale imitation of its glory years.
Its a bit like when bands release a new album after years and it's heralded a 'return to form' yet a year or so later everyone's forgotten about it.

Krusty’s years of tax avoision, would never have... Avoision, it’s a crime, look it up... I don’t say evasion, I say avoision.

Attention, Marge Simpson. We've also arrested your older, balder, fatter son

The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side

That's a right triangle you idiot!

D'oh!

Database: Uh, the trail has become indistinct. I suggest we split up to cover more ground.

Bart: Good idea, Milhouse, you and me will be Omega team, Todd, you and Data are 'Team Strike Force'. Nelson, that leaves you and Martin.

Martin: Team Discovery Channel!

Nelson: Aww... your wussiness better come in handy.


Marge: This is my fault. I tried to teach Bart about town pride, but the power of my words filled him with a sort of madness.

Homer: Now, Marge, you can't blame all of Bart's problems on you one little speech. If anything turned him bad, it's that time you let him wear a bathing suit instead of underwear. And let's not forget your little speech!

Hark to the tale of Nelson,
and the boy he loved so dear,
they remained the best of friends,
for years and years and years.

If anyone here was as big of a fan as Simpsons Hit & Run game as I was, you'll absolutely love this YouTube series by a guy called Reubs who has remastered the whole thing in HD. It's incredible.

Ah, Del Monte! Enjoy them old man, they will be your last...
