The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2004 There are great great family dynamics all over...though some are harsh... Bart vs. Thanksgiving My Sister, My Sitter Saturdays of Thunder Brother From The Same Planet (the Big Brothers, Big Sisters story) Last Exit To Springfield Lisa's Sax Any of the birth episodes Burn's Heir I can go on and on... I actually did a report for a Television Theory class about whether or not the Simpsons family and the other characters make for good role-models. I did surveys and it was sad how many people did NOT see them as rolemodels even though they are some of the best on television. EDIT: RRR, That's "A Dozen And One Greyhounds" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kinetic 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2004 My personal favorite is "Lisa the Vegetarian." Just too many funny bits to mention. And the best sub-plot ever is the Homer-Flying Dutchman bit from "New Kid on the Block." "Do these sound like the actions of a man who's had all he can eat?"

The Metal Maniac 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2004 Isn't it a parody of Run Lola, Run? Uh, no. Unless youve seen a totally different movie called Run Lola Run. Admittedly, I've never seen it all, but what I did see was a far cry from the 3 storylines in a single day premise. I think my favourite is possibly the Cat Burgular one... "So I said, listen pal, your car was upside-down when we got here. And as for your grandma, she shouldn't have mouthed off like that!" "Oh my God! Underage kids drinking beer without a permit!" "I noticed Malloy wore sneakers....FOR SNEAKING!" "Ned! Ned! Ned!" "Well, I'm not much of a leader, but..." "Someone else! Someone else! Someone else!" "I'm someone else!" "He's right!" Or maybe Treehouse of Horror...II? The one with King Homer, and Bart dressed like Alex from A Clockwork Orange. "I've got a story so scary you'll wet your pants." "Too late." *Everyone shifts away from Grandpa* "The doll's trying to kill me and the toaster's been lauging at me!" "You think your dirty socks can stop me? Well...they are making me dizzy..." It's been way too long since I've seen those ones though. I think the best recent one was where Homer was on pot, just for the scene when he's high, and everything's all happy colors and faces like in a 60's cartoon or something, and then he shaves, and rainbows shoot out of his face.

The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2004 I always liked the subplot to "The Front" where Homer goes back to college. "We're going to PAR-TAY!" also the one for "Lisa's Date With Density" that featured Homer and the auto-dailer was pretty good.

The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2004 I think the Best Treehouse of Horror episode was ... FIVE. The Shinning Time & Punishment Nightmare Cafeteria Groundskeeper Willie takes an axe to the back in every single sequence, and the family is turned inside out at the very end. It also features some of the best one liners of the THOH series. "all work and no play makes Homer something something" ... "go crazy?" ... "DON'T MIND IF I DO!" "isn't the Shining?" ... "SHHH...you wanna get sued!" "and don't ye be reading my mind between 4 & 5. That's Willie's time!" ---- "That's right, Mr. Peabody!" ... "Quiet, you" "Stupid bug! You go squish now!" "Donut? What's a donut?" "Your hand is jammed in the toaster!" ... "AAAAAHHHH!!" -------- "there's a little Uter in us all" and the rest of that line.

chaosrage 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2004 Obviously the one with Grimey, whatever it was called. Homer's Enemy. featuring, among other great lines... "I'm peeing on the seat. Give me a raise!" Heh, the whole ep is quotable, here's some more quotes. Burns: That's the kind of man I need in my team, Smithers. *sniff* A real scrapper; a self-made man, like me! Bring this Grimes fellow to me. I want to make him my executive vice president. Smithers: Yes, sir. (The next day, Smithers walks into Burn's office with Frank Grimes. Burns is watching TV and has a tear in his eye.) Burns: Smithers, I've just seen them most heroic dog on television! He pulled a toddler out of the path of a speeding car, and pushed a criminal in front of it! Find this dog. I want to make him my executive vice president! Smithers: Uh, yes, sir. In the mean time, here's Frank Grimes. (Frank reaches out his hand. Burns just stares at him, so he slowly puts his hand back.) Smithers: ...The self-made man? Burns: Oh, yes, that fellow. Just put him somewhere out of the way, and find that dog! Smithers: Yes, sir. --- Frank: Oh, that's my degree in Nuclear Physics. I'm sure you all have one. Lenny: Oh, yeah. Carl and I both have a master. Of course, ol' Homer, he didn't need a degree! He just showed up the day they opened the plant! Homer: (laughs) I didn't even know what a Nuclear Planner Plant was! --- Homer: Hey, you seem like a great guy, so I'll give you a little tip. If you turn that security camera around, you can sleep, and no one will ever know. Frank: I don't think we're being paid to sleep. Homer (angry): Oh, yeah, they're always trying to screw ya! --- Frank (annoyed): I'd appreciate it if you stay out of my office, Simpson. Homer: (laughs) I wish I had a nickel for every time I heard that. --- Homer So, what's new, Grimey? (The window behind Homer shows a flashing red light in Homer's workplace and loud beeping and alarm.) Frank: Simpson, you've got a 5-13! (Homer looks at his watch) Frank: No, a 5-13! In your procedure's manual? A 5-13? (Homer stares blankly, then looks at his watch again.) Frank: Look at your control panel! Homer (turning around): Ohhh. A five-THIRteen. I'll handle it. (Homer goes in, takes a bucket of water and pours it onto his control panel. Electric bolts come out of everywhere and strikes Homer, but it doesn't affect him. Then everything is back to normal.) Homer: That got it. --- Frank: You idiot! You nearly drank a beaker full of sulphuric acid! Homer: Acid, eh? Geez, that would've been stupid. (laughs) Boy, would by face have been red! (laughs) --- Homer: Oh, I can't believe it. I got an enemy. Me, the most beloved man in Springfield! Homer: Oh, what'll I do, Moe? Moe: Why don't you invite him over for dinner? Turn him from an enemy into a friend. Then when he's not expecting it, bam! The ol' fork in the eye. Homer: Do you think it would work without the...fork in the eye? Moe: There's always a first time... --- Frank: How do you do. Uh, look, I'm late for my night job at the foundry, so if you don't mind telling me...(looks around the living room, stunned) Good heavens! This-this is a palace! How can-how in the world can you afford to live in a house like this, Simpson? Homer: I dunno. Don't ask me how the economy works. Frank: Yeah, but look at the size of this place! I live in a single room above a bowling alley and below another bowling alley. Homer: Wow. --- Homer: Oh, and here's a picture of me in outer space. Frank: You. Went into outer space. You. Homer: Sure! You never been? (pause) Would you like to see my Grammy? Frank: No! I wouldn't! God, I've had to work hard every day of my life, and what do I have to show for it? This briefcase and this haircut! And what do you have to show for your lifetime of sloth and ignorance?! Homer: ...What? Frank: Everything! A dream house! Two cars! A beautiful wife! A son who owns a factory! Fancy clothes, and...(sniffs) lobsters for dinner!! And do you deserve any of it? NO! Homer: *Gasp* What're you saying? Frank: I'm saying - you're what's wrong with America, Simpson. You coast through life, you do as little as possible, you leech off decent, hard-working people, like me. Heh, if you lived in any other country in the world, you'd have starved to death long ago. Bart: He's got you there, Dad. --- Marge: Well...maybe...but I bet he would be less crazy if you were just a little more...professional in your work. (Homer gasps) Marge: Just a little more! --- Frank: I can be lazy, too! Look at me! I'm a worthless employee, just like Homer Simpson. Give me a promotion! (goes over to a box of donuts) Oooh, I eat like a slob, but nobody minds! (He scarfs down a bunch of donuts, then goes into the bathroom.) I'm peeing on the seat. Give me a raise! (comes out) Now I'm returning to work without washing my hands. But it doesn't matter, because I'm Homer Simpson! (goes over to Homer's control panel and sits down) I don't need to do my work, 'cause someone else will do it for me! D'oh, d'oh, d'oh! Homer: Hey, you okay, Grimey? Frank: I'm better than okay. I'm Homer Simpson. Homer: (laughs) You wish! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Crazy Dan Report post Posted April 9, 2004 I still love the one with Sherry Bobbins. "Marge I have been watching Women's Volley ball again" You get Homer thinking each nanny is Ms Doubtfire, Quentin Tarantino's Itchy and Scratchy, Three great songs, Original characters like Ricky Rouse and Monald Muck. And the greatest ending ever when Ms Bobbins gets sucked into a air plane. Last Exit to Springfield - "Some how I think Homer Simpson was not the great negotiator he appeared to be" as homer does his Curly impression. The Marijauna one " I know they are called fingers, but I never see them fingering" Cape Fear take off "Who wants to drive through that cactus patch? I do, I do, no (Sideshow Bob) ... two votes to one" And the rake scene. And a more recent one would be the one where Homer and Marge develop a love for wine. "Maybe I shouldn't drive. Wait a minute, I am drunk, I should never listen to myself when I am drunk" Homer's Enemy - "or as his friends liked to call him, Grimey". Bart's soul - "I traded your soul for some Alf Pogs. Remember Alf Bart? Do you? Well he's back, and back in Pog form. Homer at Bat. And the one where Marge paints Mr Burns -"Will you take us to Mt. Splashmore?" repeated ad neuseum. The one with Mr. Burns wants his bear Bobo - "MMMM, 64 slices of American cheese" "Have the Rolling Stones killed". Itchy and Scratchy Land - Anytime Disney gets skewered is ok in my book. Krusty opens the Clown College. And Homer starts imagining everything clown like. Especially at the power plant, and when he thinks he sees three clowns doing tumbling, they really are three coworkers on fire. "He spinning the ball on his finger, just take the ball. I think that game was fixed." Marge vs the Monorail. Man, I can't wait for the Season four Box set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
