Over in Wordplay & Fun someone mentioned starting a thread for favorite Simpson's moments, and since I almost had a stroke I was laughing so hard at the syndicated rerun I was yesterday, I thought I would do it. The moment from yesterday's episode (the one where Lisa gets a crush on Nelson) was the one where Lisa has convinced Milhaus to pass Nelson a note in class. Nelson opens the note (which has been passed up from the back of the class) and reads, "Guess who likes you." He looks back to see Milhaus waggling his eyebrows and waving. Quick cut to a wailing ambulance siren and Milhaus being wheeled out of the school on a stretcher.

It's not nearly as hilarious when you explain it like that, but I was laughing so hard I scared the baby.

Dough, what I use to buy my beer,
Ray, the guy that sells me beer.
Me, the guy that drinks my beer,
Far, a long way to get beer.
So, I think I'll have a beer,
La, I think I'll have a beer,
Tea? No thanks, I'm drinking beer.
And that brings us back to… (looks at empty beer glass) D'oh!

Willy: You've got it, boy, the Shinning.

Bart: Don't you mean "The Shining."

Willy: Shhh! You wanna get sued for copyright infringement?

I love the scene where Bart hands out song sheets for "In the Garden of Eden" (aka Inna-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly) at church, and the organist nearly has a stroke trying to play it.

Homer: Remember when we used to make out to this hymn, Marge?
Marge: (giggling) Shhh!

Monty Burns, in the parody of Be Our Guest, See My Vest, from the 101 Dalmatians-esque episode:
"Like my loafers? Former gophers!
It was that or skin my chauffers..."

Oooh! That one kills me - and I'm a big fan of Flanders, particularly when the community rebuilds his house so poorly that he's reduced to profanity, Flanders-style:
"Hell-diddly-ding-dong-crap!"
The Flanders family reunion had me in paroxisms of laughter over Pablo Flanders':
"Buenos ding-dong-diddly dias, senor!".

Mostly, when I watch TV I walk away feeling it was a grand waste of time. Not The Simpsons... whose creator, by the way, is originally from my hometown of Portland, Oregon,Hi Geoff! where the streets include Flanders, Lovejoy, Terwilliger (Sideshow Bob's last name), and Bort.

It can feel that way sometimes, huh?

That should be was watching... but a bit of a Freudian slip, I suppose.

Homer: OK, what restaurant did we review?
Lisa: Well, we went to Pate LaBelle last week, how about that?
Homer: Great, now let me think. The food was ... *Homer tastes his food-stained shirt to remind himself of the restaurant* ... was not un-delicious
Lisa: *typing* The food is delicious.
Homer: Ooh! That's brilliant! And they had this sweet, sweet chocolate mousse. Really, the only word to describe it is ... *drools lustily*
Lisa: Hmm. What's the English equivalent for [imitates Homer]? I'd say ... transcendent.
Homer: How about groin-grabbingly transcendent?
Lisa: Uh ... I don't think so.
Homer: We make a good team. A groin-grabbingly good team!
*... a little later ...*
Lisa: 497 ... 498 words.
Homer: How about screw Flanders!
Lisa: Bon Appetite!
Homer: Ah, they're both good.
