Great "Simpsons" Quotes

From Treehouse of Horror III

Mr. Burns: What do you think, Smithers?
Smithers: I think that women and seamen don't mix.
Mr. Burns: We know what you think.


And from The Canine Mutiny (the one with Laddie)

Milhouse: (referring to Santa's Little Helper)
Remeraber the time he ate my goldfish, and you lied to me and said I never had any goldfish? Then why did I have the bowl, Bart? Why did I have the bowl?
 
Doll: Trust in yourself and you can achieve anything!
Lisa: All right. Now all we need is a name.
Bart: How about Blabbermouth, the jerky doll for jerks?
Lisa: How about Minerva, after the Roman goddess of wisdom?
Stacy: Ehh, not enough commercial appeal.
Bart: Wendy Windbag? Ugly Doris? Hortense the mule-faced doll!
Stacy: I think we should name her after Lisa. We'll call her Lisa
Lionheart.
Bart: No, Loudmouth Lisa! Stupid Lisa Garbage Face! I can't stand this any longer. Somebody please pay
attention to me! Hello, pay attention to me! Look at me! I'm
Bart, I'm Bart! Look at me, look at me, look at me!

Bart's suggestions and everyone ignoring them is stark-raving hilarious.
 
I thought of two good ones from "Sideshow Bob Roberts:

Adter Bart and Lisa are thrown from Bob's limo, Archie and the gang pull up and toss Homer Out.

Moose:"And stay out of Riverdale."

And later in the parking grarage:
Lisa: "This is so exciting, I feel like Woodward and Bernstein."
Bart: "Yeah, but their dad wasn't in the car reading Archie Comics."
Homer: "Stuck up Riverdale punks, think they're so cool."

I laugh every time I see this because it is so surreal.
 
Mr. Burns: Make yourself at home!
Bart: Did you hear that dad? You can lay around in your underwear and scratch yourself!

-

Insurance guy: Now, about this place "Moe's" that you were at before the accident, this is a business of some sort?

Homer: It's a pornography store! I was buying pornography!

-

Otto (to Patty at the DMV): Just one question- have you always been a chick? I don't mean to offend you or anything but, you were born a man right? You can tell me, I'm open minded!

-
Kent Brockman: So, as it turns out, we've all been victims of a cruel hoax, masterminded by a 10-year old hooligan. 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: Sorry. Uh... could you edit that last part out?
Kent: Mr. Simpson, we're live, coast-to-coast.
Homer: D'oh

Castro: The Americans aren't so bad. I hear they've even named a street after me in San Francisco
(Castro's aid whispers something in his hear)
Castro: It's full of WHAT?!

-

Moe: You've still got that other kid, Lisa. How about next weekend we take her hunting and make her a man?
Homer: She'd never come. She's a vegetarian.
Moe: What? You and marge ain't cousins, are you?

-

Homer (really really fast sounding like a lunatic): Hey buddy you gotta slow down your car and lemme in cause I'm a big fat guy and I can't go anywhere and there's gonna be some poison gas, I mean really poison gas, and everyone's gonna be dead, especially me!

-

Homer: Well, the evening began at the gentleman's club, where we were discussing Wittgenstein over a game of backgammon.

From Secrets of a Successful Marriage:

"I can't believe I paid $10,000 for this course! What the heck was that lab fee for?"

From The Secret War of Lisa Simpson:

"While Johnny Welfare plays acid rock on a stolen guitar, his old lady has a better idea. (shows a plastic model of a lady eating a burger with a baby in it) That's right, she's got the "munchies" for a California Cheeseburger."

From Much Apu About Nothing:

"Let bears pay the bear tax. I pay the Homer tax!"
"That's home OWNER tax."

And later in the same episode...

"You want to pick on immigrants? THEN PICK ON WILLIE!"
"Willie, please. The students want to pick on someone their OWN size."

And even later...

"Abe's dad: See that, son? That's where we're going to live. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday.
Abe: (narrating) Later that day, we set sail for America.
Abe's dad: (pointing to Statue of Liberty) See that, son? That's our new home.
Abe: (cuts to later; Abe is running on the Statue of Liberty) Yay! I love America!
Abe's mom: Abe, supper's on! (back to present)
Abe: We had to move out once we filled the entire head with garbage."

From Homer vs. the Eighteenth Amendment:

"Listen, rummy, I'm gonna say it plain and simple. Where'd you pinch the hooch? Is some blind tiger jerking suRAB on the side?"
"...Yes?"

From Burns, Baby Burns:

"Larry: Yeah, uh... Hi, my, my name is Larry. I'm here to see Mr. Burns.
Smithers: Well, I hate to break it to you, Larry, but if Mr. Burns ever wants to see a stranger, he will observe him through a powerful telescope."

^ I love how Smithers says "Larry". Just in that line read, you can tell he doesn't care for him at all.

From 22 Short Films About Springfield:

"Smithers, you infernal ninny, stick your left hoof on that flange, now! Now, if you can get it through your bug-addled brain, jam that second mephitic clodhopper of yours on the right doodad! Now pump those scrawny chicken legs, you stuporous funker!"

From King Size Homer:

"Hey fatty, I got a movie for ya: "A Fridge Too Far"!"

From Raging Age Simpson:

"Abe: Now, my story begins in 19-dickety-two. We had to say "dickety" 'cause that Kaiser had stolen our word "twenty". I chased that rascal to get it back, but gave up after dickety-six miles... (children laugh)
Martin: "Dickety"? Highly dubious!
Abe: What're you cackling at, fatty? Too much pie, that's your problem!"

From The Last of the Red Hat Mamas:

"You're like all Easter Bunnies: Can't take a punch to the crotch!"
 
The first couple seasons featured a running bit involving Bart, Moe's Tavern, and crank calls. Here's the one that I think was the funniest of them all.

*ring*
Moe: [answering the phone] Flaming Moe's.
Bart: Uh, yes, I'm looking for a friend of mine. Last name Jass. First name Hugh.
Moe: Uh, hold on, I'll check. [calling] Hugh Jass! I'm looking for a Hugh Jass! Can somebody check the men's room for a "Huge ass"?!
Hugh Jass: Uh, I'm Hugh Jass.
Moe: Telephone. [hanRAB over the receiver]
Hugh Jass: Hello, this is Hugh Jass.
Bart: [surprised] Uh, hi.
Hugh Jass: Who's this?
Bart: Bart Simpson.
Hugh Jass: Well, what can I do for you, Bart?
Bart: Uh, look, I'll level with you, Mister. This is a prank call that sort of backfired. I'd like to bail out right now.
Hugh Jass: All right. Better luck next time. [hangs up] What a nice young man.

Me as Comic Book Guy: "Best crank call ever!"
 
"'Tis a fine barn, but sure 'tis no pool, English."

"Bees are on the what now?"

"You don't snuggle with Max Power, Marge. You just strap yourself in and feel the Gs!"
 
From Bart's Inner Child:

"You're off the case, McGonigle!"
"You're off YOUR case, chief."
"What does THAT mean?"
"It means he GETS RESULTS, YOU STUPID CHIEF!"
"Dad, sit down."
 
From Marge the Lam

Injury Consultant: "Homer, this... this is never easy to say, but I'm gonna have to saw your arms off."
Homer: "They'll grow back right?"
Consultant: "Uh... yeah."

From The Principal and the Pauper

Superintendent Chalmers: *referring to Skinner* "Good lord! The rod up that man's butt must have a rod up its butt!"
 
Homer trying to teach Bart a lesson, calling Mr. Burns:

Homer: Hello, Mr. Burns, this is Homer Simpson, father of the big quitter, Bart Simpson. I just wanted to let you know that I *quit*, too. (winks into the phone.)

Marge: Homer, he can't see you winking over the phone.

Homer: AHHH! (quickly hangs up)
 
Lisa: "It could be anything. It could be a mutant from the nuclear plant!"
Burns: "Oh fiddle-faddle. Everyone knows our mutants have flippers. Oops, I've said too much. Smithers, use the amnesia ray."
Smithers: "You mean the revolver, sir?"
Burns: "Precisely. Be sure to wipe your own memory clear when your finished."

From Lisa the Skeptic
 
Great "Simpsons" Quotes

Oh why not. It's been a while since my last gargantuan favorites post.

Itchy & Scratchy Land:

Homer: Nobody ruins my vacation but ME, and maybe the boy!

Mother Simpson: (Grampa is gold in this episode)

Mona: Oh, Abe, you've aged terribly.
Grampa: What do you expect? You left me to raise the boy on my own!
Mona: I had to leave! But you didn't have to tell Homer I was dead!
Grampa: It was either that, or tell him his mother was a wanted criminal! You were a rotten wife, and I never, ever forgive you! (beat) Can we have sex? Please?

Lisa: Grandma, have you ever thought about moving back to Springfield?
Homer: You could live with Grampa again. (everyone laughs)
Grampa: (stops laughing) Oh, I'm a living joke.

Grampa: All right, I admit it: I -am- the Lindbergh baby! Waa waa, goo goo! I miss my fly-fly da-da!
Agent: Are you trying to stall us? Or are you just senile?
Grampa: A little from column A, a little from column B!

Homie the Clown:

Homer: But wait, you can't kill me for being Krusty the Klown. I'm not him. I'm Homer Simpson!
Tony: The same Homer Simpson who crashed his car through the wall of our club?
Homer: Uh, actually, my name is Barney. Yeah, Barney Gurabel.
Legs: The same Barney Gurabel who keeps taking picture of my sister?
Homer: Uh, actually, my real name is, uh... think, Krusty, think! Joe Valachi!
Louie: The same Joe Valachi who squealed to the Senate Committee about Organized Crime?
Homer: Benedict Arnold!
Legs: The same Benedict Arnold who plotted to surrender West Point to the hated British?
Homer: D'oh!

^ Keep digging yourself in deeper, Homer.

A Star is Burns:

Lisa: Goodbye, Mr. Sherman. If I ever play Carnegie Hall, I'll give you a call.
Jay: And if you ever want to visit my show-
Bart: Nah, we're not going to be doing that.

^ Works as both a rude remark on Bart's part and a self-referential gag on the crossover aspect of this episode.

Mayored to the Mob:

Homer: And after Moe's, we went to Krusty Burger, and the mayor got some more change, and I ordered a double-double, but they gave me the double-double-double-double!

Also:

Fat Tony: I want the mayor dead. I want his wife dead. I want his cat and his dog, DEAD.
Louie: Wait wait wait, who was before the cat?
Fat Tony: (sighs) Just kill the mayor.
Louie: (leaves, but comes back) Y-you're not mad at me, are ya?

Maximum Homerdrive:

Marge: Is it safe to eat that much food, Dr. Hibbert?
Hibbert:
 
From Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming:

"By the way, I'm aware of the irony of appearing on TV in order to decry it. So don't bother pointing that out."

^ This is one of my all-time favorite Simpsons quotes. Out of this context, I've used it myself on more than one occasion.

From Homerpalooza:

"You guys back there know Grand Funk, right? (silence) Nobody knows the band Grand Funk? The wild, shirtless lyrics of Mark Farner? The bong-rattling bass of Mel Schacher? The competent drum work of Don Brewer? Oh, MAN!"

^ I don't know why, but this makes me laugh. Maybe it's how he emphasizes the "er" on every band meraber's last name.

From The Otto Show:

"Some think there are only five merabers of Spinal Tap. But, they're WRONG. (nothing happens) Could we turn the house lights up, please? That was the cue to turn up the house lights so we could tell the audience they're the sixth meraber of the freakin' group!"

^ Nothing better than performing acts gone wrong.

From I'm With Cupid: (I'm paraphrasing this one)

Bart: Mom, would you help me with my science project? I need to make a model of the digestive system.
Marge: Of course!
Bart: Great. It's due tomorrow.
Marge: Tomorrow?! Well that's too bad, mister. I'm not going to bail you out this time.
Bart: (meekly) All right, I understand.
Marge: All right, fine, I'll get you the supplies, but you're building it!
Bart: Okay. (stares at her)
Marge: (beat) Oh, I'll just make the whole thing.

From Crook and Ladder:

Bart: Hey, zorabie. Want to come outside and play?
Homer: Zorabie kill!
Bart: No, PLAY.
Homer: Zorabie file grievance.

And in the same episode...

"You have just been Apu'd!"

From Homer and Apu:

Robber: Don't try any funny stuff.
James WooRAB: I guarantee you, if I tried any funny stuff, you would be in hysterics.
Robber: Hey, you're James WooRAB!
James WooRAB: Oh thank you. Yes, thank you.
Robber: Well Mr. WooRAB, your next song is gonna be Nuraber 3 With a Bullet!
James WooRAB: ...I'm not a singer.
Robber: Shut up!

^ Love how the robber continues with his robbery instead of being starstruck and forgetting about it, and of course the joke of not knowing the difference between a movie star and a singer.
