You're welcome.

"I said. Get. In."

[bradders1011]

Today had Homerpalooza, Homer vs. Patty and Selma and Team Homer. Hit after hit after hit.

[Roopy]

Anyone here have Lionel Hutz as their favourite character?

Quality not quantity with him, too good.

1. "Don't worry, Homer. I have a fool proof strategy to get you out of here: surprise witnesses, each more surprising than the last. I tell you, the judge won't know what hit him!"

2. "Your honor? I'd like to call all of my surprise witnesses again"

3. "Oh, sure, like lawyers work in big skyscrapers and have secretaries. Look at him! He's wearing a belt. That's Hollywood for you."

4. "Mr. Simpson, don't you worry. I watched Matlock in a bar last night. The sound wasn't on, but I think I got the gist of it."

5. "Mr. Simpson, this is the most blatant case of fraudulent advertising since my suit against the film "The NeverEnding Story"

6. Bart: When I grow up, I wanna be a lawyer just like you, Mr. Hutz.
Lionel Hutz: Good for you, son. If there's one thing this world needs, it's more lawyers. Could you imagine a world without lawyers?

7. "Homer, I don't use the word "hero" very often, but you are the greatest hero in American history."

8. "I'm here defending you on the charges of . . . Murder One!? Even if I lose I'll be famous!"

[ScouserAtHeart]

"I move for a...bad court thingy"

"You mean a mistrial?"

"That's why you're the judge and I'm the...law talking guy"

[courty61]

Well he's had it in for me since I kinda ran over his dog

You did?

Well replace the word 'kinda' with 'repeatedly' and the word 'dog' with 'son'

[bradders1011]

Now, Apu, Mrs. Simpson claims that she *forgot* that bottle of... delicious... bourbon. Brownest of the brown liquors... so tempting.

What's that? You want me to drink you? But I'm in the middle of a trial!

[Davidbowie]

Anyone else reading these and hearing the voice of the character?

[bradders1011]

Look! He's taking another puff!

[Alisson Wonderland]

Anyone else reading these and hearing the voice of the character?

All the time 

Lionel Hutz and Troy McClure were both great characters.  Phil Hartman was one of the best.

[JerseyKloppite]

List going round of Simpsons characters' first lines. A test for the keen below. No cheating!

1. "Hey ma, look at that pointy-hairded little girl."

2. "Daddy."

3. "This is a whole lot of nothing."

4. "Tell you what. I'll show you something very special if you promise to put your grubby little hands behind your back and keep 'em there."

5. "He's bad, but he'll die. So I like it."

6. "Why, it's a death ray, my good man. Behold."

7. "'F,' 'L,' oh no I'm sorry, that's a 'C' isn't it?"

8. "You certainly have done well for yourself, Spanky."

9. "Hey don't worry. Things are gonna pick up once the entertainment gets here."

10. "Ain't you hungry, Homer?"

11. "Hey, what are you talking to her for? She's just gonna say something weird."

12. "Good one, Moe. Listen, we're looking for a family of Peeping Toms who've been terrorizing the neighborhood."

[ScouserAtHeart]

Number 2 is the easiest

[Davidbowie]

Well, if it isn't my old friend, Mr. McGreg! With a leg for an arm, and an arm for a leg!

[ScouserAtHeart]

Calm yourself, sir. You're going to give yourself skin failure.

Thought number 4 would be Comic Book Store Guy?

[paulrazor]

Thought number 4 would be Comic Book Store Guy?

ah yes

the one about the radioactive man #1 comic that Martin, Milhouse and Bart bought

[JerseyKloppite]

1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 spot on.

Yep.

[Roopy]

Mayor Quimby is another quality not quantity favourite of mine!

1. "You can't seriously want to ban alcohol. It tastes great, makes women appear more attractive, and makes a person virtually invulnerable to criticism."

2. "Can't we have one meeting that doesn't end with us digging up a corpse?"

3. "We have nothing to fear but the aliens and their vastly superior killing technology!"

4. "First, one announcement: I regret to inform you we are not offering childcare tonight. I don't know who that guy was you were leaving your kids with."

5. Mayor Quimby: We will now hear suggestions for the disbursement of the two million dollars.
Lisa: Don't you mean three million dollars?
Mayor Quimby: (looks around nervously, adjusts his tie) Of course. How silly of me.

6. "I'll just amuse myself with some pornographic playing cards."

7. "Ich bin ein Springfielder"

8. "We will not negotiate with terrorists. Is there a nearby city who will?"

9. "People, please. We are all frightened and horny but we cannot let some killer dolphins keep us from living and scoring"

10. "Very well then. Instead of fleeing this town, I'll stay here and grow fat off kick backs and slush funds"

11 "Did I just hear a briefcase opening?"

[killer-heels]

I know they come on TV everyday but Disney need to hurry up with the launch of Disney Plus in the UK.

[bradders1011]

But this was a contest for Premier League winners!

And Liverpool beat their brains out!

[disgraced cake]

Remember the time he ate my goldfish, and then you lied to me and said I never had any goldfish? But why did I have the bowl Bart? Why did I have the bowl?

[ScouserAtHeart]

But my mom thinks I'm cool!

[JerseyKloppite]

My favourite Simpsons quote is the absolute classic...

Marge: "Have you noticed any change in Bart?"
Homer: "New glasses?"
Marge: "No. He looks like something may be disturbing him."
Homer: "Probably misses his old glasses."
Marge: "I guess we could get more involved in his activities, but then I'd be afraid of smothering him."
Homer: "Yeah, and then we'd get the chair."
Marge: "That's not what I meant."
Homer: "It was Marge, admit it."

11. "Hey, what are you talking to her for? She's just gonna say something weird."

This one is definitely Ralph Wiggum before he became the Ralph "My cat's breath smells like cat food" Wiggum everyone knows and loves

That's a top 10 episode easy. Very surprised.

"You ever seen a man say goodbye to a shoe before?"

"Hehe yes. Once"

Quick Homer, what's your least favourite country - France or Italy?'
'France'.
'Heh heh. Nobody ever says Italy'

Bang on.

[paulrazor]

Hank Scorpio got a mention i see, that episode was on the other day

great character

love how he is a brutal terrorist yet homer doesnt have a clue, and yet despite being evil he seems to take a genuine liking to homer

*pulls sugar from his pocket*
"would you like some cream?"
"errrrrrrrrrrrrm nnnnnnno"

[RJH]

"Homer, on your way out, if you want to kill somebody, that would help me a lot"

[ScouserAtHeart]

Don't call me "Mr. Scorpion". It's "Mr. Scorpio," but don't call me that, either. Call me Hank

[bradders1011]

I don't expect anything from you, except to die and be a very cheap funeral.
