Great "Simpsons" Quotes

Another day, another batch of favorite Simpsons quotes:

From Lisa the Skeptic:

"Attention: All honor students will be rewarded with a trip to an archaeological dig. (good kiRAB cheer) Conversely, all detention students will be punished with a trip to an archaeological dig. (bad kiRAB complain)"

From $pringfield:

"Now, at the risk of being unpopular, this reporter places the blame squarely on YOU, the viewers!"

From Bart's Inner Child:

"Marge: That video really opened my eyes. I can see that I'm just a passive-aggressive co-culprit. By nagging you when you do foolish things, I just enable your life script.
Homer: And that senRAB me into a shame spiral."

From Homer vs. Patty and Selma:

"Moe: Sure, Homer, I can loan you all the money you need. However, since you have no collateral, I'm going to have to break your legs in advance.
Homer: Gosh, Moe, I use these all the time. Couldn't you just bash my head in?
Moe: Hey hey, are you a loan shark? Do you know how finance works? (grabs a sledgehammer) Now let's do this thing."

From Homie the Clown:

"These Krusty brand balloons are three bucks each. But get a cheap one and what happens? It goes off, takes out the eyeballs of every kid in the room! What's that going to cost you? Hey, Bill, what did that cost us?"

^ Krusty's delivery here is largely why I laugh, in addition to the punchline that he's gone cheap before.

From Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming:

"Whoa, let's not go nuts! Would it really be worth living in a world without television? I think the survivors would envy the dead!"

From The PTA DisbanRAB:

"Posh. Shredded newspapers add much-needed roughage and essential inks."

^ I know I mention this line a lot, but it gets me every time. Just the thought of eating newspaper for sustenance is funny.

From And Maggie Makes Three:

"Moe: Hey Homer, way to get Marge pregnant!"
Homer: This is getting very abstract, but thank you! I do enjoy working at the bowling alley!"

From Homer Bad Man:

"This is hour 57 of our live, round-the-clock coverage outside the Simpson estate. Remeraber, by the way, to tune in at 8:00 for highlights of today's vigil, including when the garbage man came and when Marge Simpson put the cat out- possibly because it was harassed, we don't know. Of course, there's no way to see into the Simpson home without some kind of infrared heat-sensitive camera. So, let's turn it on. Now, this technology is new to me, but... I'm pretty sure that's Homer Simpson in the oven, rotating slowly. His body temperature has risen to over 400 degrees- he's literally stewing in his own juices."

^ One of the funniest Kent Brockman scenes ever. He's such a dolt.

From Children of a Lesser Clod:

"Kent: Arnie, please, how are the children?
Arnie: I can't see through METAL, Kent!"

From The Day the Violence Died:

"Krusty: I gave him a couple of blintzes to paint my fence, but he never did it!
Chester: Those blintzes were terrible.
Krusty: Paint my fence!
Chester: Make me! (fight ensues)" Then later....

"Grampa: I thought I recognized you. I gave you a plate of corn muffins back in 1947 to paint my chicken coop. And you never did it.
Chester: Those corn muffins were lousy.
Grampa: Paint my chicken coop!
Chester: Make me! (fight ensues)"

From Old Money:

Grampa's reply to Moe's plan on what to do with the money: "It's pretty stupid, but so far, you're the front runner."

^ That would've been hilarious if Grampa ended up going with Moe's plan.

From Eight Misbehavin':

"KiRAB are a blast, Apu. You can teach them to hate the things you hate. And they practically raise themselves, what with the internet and all."

^ Homer, the upper echelon of parenting.

From Das Bus:

"The exports of Libya are numerous in amount. One thing they export is corn, or as the Indians call it, "maize". Another famous Indian was "Crazy Horse". In conclusion, Libya is a land of contrast. Thank you."

^ To quote Family Guy: "That you've managed to be walking around all this time is nothing short of a miracle."

Lisa the Vegetarian

Skinner: Good morning class. A certain... agitator... for privacy's sake, let's call her "Lisa S." No, that's too obvious... uh, let's say L. Simpson... (Lisa slaps her forehead in annoyance)

^ LOL. Springfield is a small school. How many Lisas or Simpsons do you think there are?!

Milhouse: I think he's at Nelson's!
Homer: WHO'S NELSON?!

From Make Room For Lisa:
"Sorry, mother, I was driving through a tunnel and my cell phone wouldn't work."

"But mother, it cuts 90 minutes off my drive!"
"No tunnels!"

From Little Big Mom:

"Lucy McGillicudy Ricardo Carmichael. (coughs) And I think there's some more."

^ Funny joke about how many characters with different last names Lucille Ball's played in sitcoms. (For the record, other last names she used were "Carter" in Here's Lucy and "Barker" in Life With Lucy)

From Bart Gets Hit By a Car:

Many funny Burns quotes in this one, but here are just a few of my favorites:

"Oh for crying out loud, just give him a nickel and let's get going!"

(after Homer rejects Burns's $100 offer) "OH! So EXTORTION is the name of your little game, is it Simpson? Very well. Then you get NOTHING."

"NOOOOOOOO! TAKE ME! I'M OLD!"

(easily heard through the glass) "They hate ME?! Well what trial were you watching?! (a lawyer says something, is barely audible) Oh, settlement. FINE. Hang your heaRAB in shame, you overpriced, underbrained glorified notary publics! Just get that big ape to my house tonight and we'll buy him off with a banana or two!"

"Homer: Mr. Burns, are you trying to get me drunk?
Burns: Yes."

^ Love how flatly he says that.

From Lisa on Ice:

"Attention, this is Principal Skinner, your principal, with a message from the Principal's Office. All students please proceed immediately to an asserably in the Butthead Memorial Auditorium. Dammit, I wish we hadn't let the students name that one."

^ Love how Skinner announces his title several times, as well as the auditorium's name. And the auditorium name is even funnier because they could've easily vetoed the name the students chose, or made a disclaimer that no low brow names be used. So ridiculous.

From Skinner's Sense of Snow:

(regarding the hobgoblin) "Oh, he's been singing for two hours!"

From Treehouse of Horror IV:

"Look at the bus! I was RIGHT, I tell you, I was RIGHT!"
"Right or wrong, your behavior was still disruptive, young man."

^ Just more "by the book" gold from Skinner.

"Mormon Priest: So how many brides are we marrying today?
Bart: Just the one.
Mormon Priest: Pfft. What are you, gay?"
 
From The Joy of Sect:

So the cops knew that internal affairs were setting them up?

I used that quote when I had to babysit my cousins and was

Duffman: That brown spot neeRAB some H2O! Oh yeah!
Moe: Hey Duffman! How would you like a sticker on YOUR face?
Duffman: Duffman can't breath! Oh no!

Gotta love Hank's read.

Homer: Oh no. This is how faceless Joe lost his legs.

... What?

*Barney's stealing Moe's beer from the tap*
Barney: Uh-oh, my heart just stopped.
*Time passes*
Barney: Ah, there it goes.
*Resumes drinking*


Bart: Why would Duff publish a book?
Lisa: It was designed to settle fights in taverns.
Homer: Woo-hoo! She said "tavern"! I'm going to Moe's! [Runs off}
Marge: I never agreed to that rule!

I always loved that about the Simpsons. How one joke would instantly slide into another. Nowadays they simply rely on repeating the same joke over and over, or rely on puns.

Nelson rises from his chair, reading as he is examining a notepad. He paces a few

Marge: (while watching Paint Your Wagon) Who knew Lee Marvin could do such marvelous splits?

Lisa: He's dreamy.


Homer: I never apologize! I'm sorry, that's just the way I am.


Homer: (after Bart's busted for shoplifitng) Why do you think I took you to all those Police Academy movies? For laughs? Well I didn't hear anybody laughing, did you?

From Bart on the Road

Milhouse: Ow Bart! Nelson hit me!

At the end of the episode as the credits roll
Phone Rings
Marge: Oh hello Principal Skinner! No Bart has never been to Hong Kong, goodnight. (she hangs up, phone rings again)
Hello? Tennessee State Police? No my sons car was not crushed in Knoxville. I don't know where to begin telling you what's wrong with that.
(Marge hangs up, while Homer starts to hide under the covers, phone rings again)
Hello? No Bart is not available tomorrow to deliver a human kidney to amsterdam.

Homer.........are you laughing at me?

Marge: Homer, I'm impressed. You're taking this quite well.
Homer: I'LL KILL YOU! I'll kill ALL of you!

^ Timing is everything. Also, from segment 2:

Bart/Lisa: (robotically) Join us, father.
Marge: It's.... BLIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSS.

^ The dragged out "bliss" gets me every time.

From Who Shot Mr. Burns Part 1:

Mr. Burns: Well, me and my fourth form chums think it would be quite corking if you'd sign over your oil well to the local energy concern.

^ "Corking" gets me to laugh. Nobody nowadays talks like that.

From Pokey Mom:

Skinner: You know, when Superintendent Chalmers suggested a school mural, I almost thought he said a "school MURIEL." (audience is silent) Muriel's his sister, and uh... (a shotgun is heard in the crowd)

^ It's not so much the line itself that's funny but the shotgun in the crowd. It's even funnier that it's the second time in the episode that it's happened; is it the same person, or does Springfield just have a bunch of impatient trigger fingers?

From Trilogy of Error:

Dr. Nick: "Inflammable" means "flammable"?! What a country!

^ And speaking of Dr. Nick...

From The Girl Who Slept Too Little:

Dr. Nick: Remeraber: You have a check-up next Thursday!
Lisa: We don't go to you anymore! We have a better doctor!
Dr. Nick: Oh, congratulations!

Hare Krishna guy: Have you heard of Krishna Consciousness?

Smithers: Careful, men: He wets his pants.

From Homie the Clown:

Woman: (on intercom) George Carlin on three.
Krusty: (answers intercom) Yeah? (listens) Lawsuit? Oh, come on. My "Seven WorRAB You Can't Say on TV" bit was entirely different from your "Seven WorRAB You Can't Say on TV" bit. (listens) So I'm a thief, am I? Well, excuuuuuuuse ME! (to accountant) Give him ten grand.
Woman: (on intercom) Steve Martin on four.
Krusty: Ten grand.

^ LOL. How did Steve Martin hear him just now?

From In Marge We Trust:

Skinner: Mother's gone too far: She's put cardboard over her half of the television. We rented "Man Without a Face", I didn't even know he had a problem! What should I do?
Lovejoy: Well, maybe you should read your Bible.
Skinner: Um, any particular passage?
Lovejoy: Oh, it's all good.

From Homer vs. Patty and Selma:

Bart: What a day, eh, Milhouse? The sun is out, birRAB are singing, bees are trying to have sex with them, as is my understanding.

From Worst Episode Ever:

Agnes: Out of the way, tubby.
CBG: Oh, pardon me, Oldie Hawn.
Agnes: Why, you ill-mannered sack of crap!
CBG: Oh, goody. Now I know whatever happened to Baby Jane.
Agnes: You are the rudest man who ever... bought me dinner.
CBG: Correction: I do not believe I have ever bought you... Oh.

^ There's something delightfully low brow about this exchange. Two people are attracted to each other through insult comic punchlines.
 
Alone Again, Natura-Diddily

Lovejoy: In many ways Maude Flanders was a supporting player in our lives. She didn't grab our attention with memorable catch phrases or comical accents!
Willie: Aye!
Sea Captain: Yarr!
Frink: Oh Glaven!

Love the self-referencing joke.

Saddlesore Galactica

Homer: I'll deal with those murderous trolls.
Bart: Huh?
Homer: I mean... I'll deal with those murderous trolls!

It's funny how Homer doesn't even try to change the subject.

Race Announcer: Could it be? In a bizarre twist, a horse is abusing a jockey! Might this be the start of a terrifying planet of the horses? In this announcer's opinion, almost certainly yes! And away I go!

First apes, then horses. What next?

Announcer: And away they go! It's chock Full o' Drugs, followed closely by Stalker, with Old Levis fading fast!

Worthy of Warner Bros.

Marge: Should the Simpsons get a horse?
Comic Book Guy: Excuse me, I believe this family already had a horse, and the expense forced Homer to work at the Kwik-E-Mart with hilarious consequences.
Homer: Does anyone care what this guy thinks?
Crowd: No!

Again, gotta love self-referencing.
 
"BY LUCIFER'S BEARD!!!"
-Sideshow Bob, "Cape Feare"

SSB is always good for a classic quote:

"No children have ever meddled with the Republican Party and lived"
"You can't keep the Democrats out of the White House forever. And when they get in, I'll be back on the streets...with all my criminal buddies!"
"I've been in prison. I'll be happy with anything that doesn't taste like orange drink fermented behind a radiator."
"Oh, I'll get busy. I'll get very busy indeed. (maniacal laughter)"
"Ah, the catwalk. The perfect vantage point ...for revenge! Ah kettle chips, the perfect sidedish...for revenge!"
"Simpson Family. I hearbt sweeeeeeeeeeear...a VENDETTA!"

and many, many more
 
I can't believe no one's mentioned this yet:

Homer: What the hell are we going to do with 10,000 angel ashtrays?
Bart: I could take up smoking.
Homer: You damn well better.

This is pretty good too :

Homer: "How was jerk practice, boy? Did they teach you how to sing to trees? And build crappy furniture out of useless wooden logs? Huh? (chair collapses) D'oh! Stupid poetic justice."
Bart: "Actually, we were just planning the father-son river rafting trip."
Homer: "Heh heh, you don't have a son."
 
Homer: Come on, Lisa, say something funny.
[holRAB a tape recorded with a microphone]
Lisa: Like what?
Homer: Oh, something stupid like Bart would say. "Bucka Bucka" or
"Woozle Wuzzle": something like that.
Lisa: Forget it, Dad. If I ever become famous, I want it to be for
something worthwhile, not because of some obnoxious fad.
Bart: Obnoxious fad?
Homer: Aw, don't worry, son. You know, they said the same thing about
Urkel, a -- that little snot boy! I'd like to smash that kid!

I think life already did that.
