Topic: The Simpsons - The Blurst of thread

Herb: [on phone] Okay, this is what you're gonna do. You're gonna hang up, call me back, and say the exact opposite of everything you just said. Goodbye.
[hangs up]
Herb: Bart, Lisa, come over here.
Lisa Simpson: What is it, Unkie Herb?
Herb: I want you to hear what the guys down at the plant think of your old man.
[phone rings]
Herb: Hello?
Engineer: Um, Homer Simpson is a... brilliant man with lots of well thought-out, practical, ideas. He is ensuring the financial security of this company for years to come. Oh yes, and his personal hygiene is above reproach. 

That last line about his personal hygiene kills me everytime.

[tonysleft]

The moments where Homer meets Herb, Mona leaves Homer and the end of "And Maggie Makes Three" are very touching and sweet. Great facet of the old episodes.

Been watching few classics of season 6 and 7 when did they change homer from loving dad who always tried his best to buffoon.

It's those lousy cartoon writers. They make me madder than a yak in heat.

After season 10. All the talent left then afaik.

One of my favourite lines of all time, gets me every time:

"Sure, you've never been?"

Although without context, I guess not so funny

[El Lobo]

You're fired

And with good cause

[Mumm-Ra]

Was buying some soil for the garden and Moe popped into my head:

"Well, I'm better than dirt! Well... most kinds of dirt. I mean, not that fancy store-bought dirt. That stuff's loaded with nutrients. I... I can't compete with that stuff"

The best about that line is homer thinks going to the moon is something any average Joe can do.

Homer “And you didn’t think I’d make any money.  I found a dollar while I was waiting for the bus!”

Marge “While you were out earning that dollar, you lost forty dollars by not going to work.  The plant called and said if you don’t come in tomorrow, don’t bother coming in Monday.”

Homer “Woo-hoo!  Four day weekend!”

Love Homers money making schemes in those early seasons.

Homer: Okay, boy. This is where all the hard work, sacrifice, and painful scaldings pay off.

Employee: Four pounds of grease... that comes to... sixty-three cents.

Homer: Woo-hoo!

Bart: Dad, all that bacon cost twenty-seven dollars.

Homer: Yeah, but your mom paid for that!

Bart: But doesn't she get her money from you?

Homer: And I get my money from grease! What's the problem?

[Lee1-6Liv]

Lisa on ice was just on, such a great episode.

Homer: Lisa, if the Bible has taught us nothing else -- and it hasn't --
       it's that girls should stick to girls' sports, such as hot-oil
       wrestling, foxy boxing, and such-and-such.

Can't remember if I got this very long article from this thread but even so is good (But long!!) about the decline of the show from the genius which was the early seasons

This just randomly popped into my head. Looked up the clip and, it delivered:

I was discussing with my brother the other day what the top ten best ever episodes would be. We didn't have much of a consensus, I think the only 3 we both put in our lists were the George Bush episode, the B Sharps episode and the one with Sideshow Bob where they go into Witness Protection on a boat.

Needless to say we don't know the actual episode titles.

[gerrardisgod]

Hank Scorpio and the Prohibition episodes have to be in there.

The one where Bart pulls Mrs Krabapple is up there for me, got some absolutely classic lines in

This one would be right up there for me.

The PTA is disbanded is a classic

[Hazell]

Yep, Boy-Scoutz 'N The Hood too

[theredguy03]

"Our residents (bang) are trying (bang) to nap! (bang)"

From the episode Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in The Curse of the Flying Hellfish probably the longest episode name in existence.

Plus the early Sideshow Bob episodes are/were amazing.

"Oh I see when it's one of my plans you can't foil it fast enough, but when Cecil tries to kill you, it's hopeless, utterly utterly hopeless."

[Daniel Cabbaggio]

Mr Plow, Softball, the Hank Scorpio one, Who shot Mr Burns and the Monorail one. Also liked whenever Lisa and Bart teamed up usually in sub plots, they seemed to get the best out of each other. Goes without saying the first seasons are where you find the golden episodes.

The uploader for the following vids reviews a ton of the episodes on his channel and loadsa other simpsons stuff, heres just a flavour

I think the 4th is the most credible fwiw

Last Exit to Springfield is a work of art of an episode.

Gag after gag after gag for a solid 20 minutes

Agreed the early Sideshow Bob episodes are classics.

Lisa, you don't spend ten years as a homicidal maniac without learning a *few* things about dynamite.

Sideshow Bob: Hand over all your money in a paper bag.
Apu: Yes, yes. I know the procedure for armed robbery. I do work in a convenience store, you know.

[Hazell]

Homer The Heretic is pretty great too



So many quality episodes in that early run.

[bradders1011]

Just watched A Streetcar Named Marge on C4.

"You can always depend on the kindness of strangers!"

Also the Ayn Rand jokes in the kindergarten are the kind of classic Simpsons gags that fly over your head as a kid.

[Riquende]

the Hank Scorpio one...the Monorail one.

Oh yes, definitely.

[Redcap]

Anyone have any tips for good later (post season 10) episodes?

[bryanod]

First ones that came to my mind.
