The Simpsons Quoting Thread

[Koa]

Ok i was opening this to the enjoyment of emily...and of myself, and hopefully someone else too... So I spent the last 20 MINUTES at least writing about my favourite quotes.... and it ogged me out and couldnt post it and now I'm awfully angry cos my wonderful simpsons thread has been spoilt!!!!! There's no way I'm going to type it all again, so let someone else start quoting, and I'll come with my wonderful quotes another time.

*singing* The Simpsons....laallallalalalalalaaaa...lalala!
(bad impression of the song....)

[Koa]

Ok here I am, smoke of anger stopped coming out from my head after some reading, and I'll start with some of my favourite quotes...

Before I start, I have to inform you that here we get everydamnthing dubbed, so the quotes in my mind have to be re-translated to English (as I've seen only a few of the lates episodes in English)... and I wonder if the translation and dubbing followed precisely the original or not. Any correction would be appreciated!

Let's start from my very favourite one... Not really a quote but a sketch. It's the episode when the Simpsons turn into the Thompsons and live on a boat cos of a program of protection of witnesses or stuff... Sideshow Bob follows them under their car and as soon as he gets out he steps on a rake which hits him on his face...and says 'WRRR'. Then he takes another step, and hits another rake...then another one and so on and on....it goes on for aaages and it makes me die laughing everytime I see it!!!

Btw I saw a rather new episode a few days ago, when again he hits on a rake and says: 'A rake, my arch-enemy' Bart:' I thought I was your arch-enemy' Bob: 'Oh Bart there's not only you in my life!'

LOL...Jay just sent me something I had forgotten about: the intro sung on the Flintstones's music: Simpson, Homer Simpson, he's the greatest guy in history... from the town of Springfield, he's about to hit a chestnut tree AAAAH!

I have the same problem. But the fact that they can be enjoyed by so many different people and cultures proves that the show's excellence has a global scale (at least it is so up to the 9th season).

Happy coincidence. That's my all-time favourite episode. There's tons of good stuff in it. For example, Homer asks the kids if they want to pass through the cactus, they say yes, and a third and grave voice says 'no', and then Homer goes: Two against one!

I think its in its 15th or 16th season in the states, and only three are out on DVD .

[verybaddmom]

i think my all time kill me laughing favorite scene ever was the one where Marge is trying to get (I think it was Lisa, but might have been Bart) out of bed to help with spring cleaning, and she says "look everyone is helping" and Santa's little helper slides past the door on his butt in the manner of a dog with worms, and then homer goes past the door doing the same thing, but sitting on a dusting rag....

omg..too funny!

YAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!! SIMPSONS THREAD!!!!!!!!!! Okay, *deep breaths* I'm over it. No I'm not. Just a sec. (YYAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!)

Okay, cool... It's in its 13th season here, but personally, I haven't enjoyed one of the episodes thus far. Well, I've missed a few, but I'll catch up during summer reruns. Koa and Crisaor, I hope it isn't very different in translation. There are a lot of subtle jokes too that probably don't translate well. You gotta see as many English ones as you can find!

Let's see, some quotes... Okay, well since we always seem to be talking about food, I'll go for a couple food ones:

When Bob hypnotizes Bart to kill Krusty with plastic explosives strapped to him ("Oh no, my boy bomb!")...
Sideshow Bob: "Ah, the catwalk. The perfect vantage point...for revenge!"
*opens a bag of potato chips*
"Ah, Kettle Chips. The perfect side dish....for revenge!"

I think this is from when Lisa cheats on her Wind in the Willows test and her resulting grade raises the school's average enough to get more funding from the state...
Mrs Krabappel: "We'll finally be able to buy a real periodic table instead of those promotional ones from Oscar Meyer! Now, on with the Science lesson: who can tell me the atomic weight of Bolonium?"
Martin: Ooh ooh ooh! Delicious?
Mrs Krabappel: Correct. I would also have accepted "snacktacular."

ROFLMFAO. *wipes a tear from her eye*

[Koa]

LOL...I remember all of them... They are quite similar translated I think...I sometimes get little jokes that dont translate, cos I like to imagine the original...

Dunno at which season we are here, but the latest ones are not great...I've seen some of them in English before they were broadcasted here...

No time for quotes now, but I'll be back!

[Koa]

Some more...

Homer lives in the house on the tree after a quarrel with Marge... Lisa takes him a pudding (???) and advises him to do something about the quarrel...
Homer: Ok brain, you don't like me and I don't like you, but we need to collaborate...eat the pudding eat the pudding eat the pudding!!!

Homer goes to the 'big brothers' agency to get a kid after quarrelling with Bart, and is asked (I dont remember if he is asked or he has to fill a form...) the reason why...
Homer thinking: don't say revenge, don't say revenge...
Homer speaking: REVENGE! ...d'oh!

Ralph at some sort of party in honour of principal Skinner:
"When i grow up I want to be like principla Skinner...or a millipede!" (I hope someone remembers it and tells me if it's like this in English cos I'm dying to know!!!)

Another one I'd like to know in original is a sketch between Smithers and Mr Burns, saying: "this year the nuclear plant's business hasnt been good... shall we 'dollar'? " ---> Dunno how to explain, they say something like 'shall we dollar' or 'let's play dollar'...and they start throwing dollars at each other...

That's in the same episode I quoted the rake-archenemy one They showed it here last Monday, I didnt remember having seen it, but since these new ones have veen shown only once or twice, I dont remember them as those I've seen 450 times...


I was about to forget a real classic: when they go to Australia and Homer jumps from side to side of the 'borderline' of the American embassy, saying: Now I'm in Australia/now I'm in America It often comes to my mind when I think of fayefaye...

Oh oh oh another one... from a fairly recent one, maybe an Halloween special (I hate halloween episodes) or maybe they were just playing some historical thing... well, Homer appears to bart in a dream:
Homer: I'm back from the dead...
Bart: Looks like you're back from the buffet!!!


Please stop me...

[emily655321]

Whatwhatwhat???? You don't like the Halloween episodes?? They're the best ones! Okay, so that's highly subjective. But not even the one with the Terror at 5000 Feet parody with the Gremlin on the bus? so good. Oh well.

You can't have quotes with out Ralph Wiggum. I love the Wiggle Puppy episode, when Marge makes Bart spend time with him. They take Chief Wiggums keys -- "What is his fascination with my Forbidden Closet of Mystery?" -- and turn on the electric chair in the old prison -- Ralph: "It smells like hotdogs," -- get scared away by the guard, leave it running, and see on TV that they've reopened the prison and Mayor Quimby is going to sit in the chair at the induction ceremony.
Ralph: "He's gonna smell like hotdogs."

And of course, "That's where I saw the leprechaun. He tells me to burn things."

Hmm...what else...oh, I can't even remember which this is from, but when Principal Skinner says, "That's the second independent thought alarm in one day. Willie, the children are over-stimulated, remove the colored chalk from the classrooms."

Ohh...Lordy.

[crisaor]

"The last bar in Springfield, if the don't let me in here, I'm gonna have to quit drinking..."
*Homer's liver says Yaayyy*
"Shut up liver" *Hits own liver*
"Aw, my liver hurts".

[verybaddmom]

homer: mmmm....brazil nuts.
Brazillian kidnapper: homer, here we just call them nuts.

[IWilKikU]

Ralphie: "Is this my house?"
Lisa: "No Ralphie, you live in a different house."
Ralphie: "WEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"


Ralphie: "My cat's breath smells like cat food."

[verybaddmom]

Marge: Homer, we cant get any time alone
Homer (leering): we're alone now
Bart (faintly through wall): you're never alone in this house
homer: Why you little.... * crashes hand through wall and proceeds to do the infamous "bart choke"*

I thought that was hilarious, because that's something i've actually wanted to do (the hand through wall to silence unwanted intruder during "quiet time".

edit: that episode wasnt over yet...hehe...
Homer: "Marge, we must take advantage of this romantic encounter, or we'll never have another chance, at least till Lisa's in college and we've lost contact with Bart"

[fayefaye]

hehe. I am the queen of simpsons quotes. I don't even know if I should bother with this thread.

meh, I'm going to start simpsons quoting in my posts.
ralph-'when I grow up, I'm going to be a principal. or a caterpillar'

oh, the parody of free willy
'Oh no, willy didn't make it'
'and he crushed our boy'
'ewww, what a mess'
