Lois: I just wish my opinion mattered to you.
Peter: Well, the important thing is, it matters to you, and that's the greatest gift of all.
/me wonders if anyone will notice that's a FG quote. :D
"Original" Homer Simpson? Risking looking like I've been living in a box for the past 10 years, what does that mean, "original" Homer Simpson?
Heh. I have heard a billion Simpsons lines that are glory in the highest, but I can't remember any right now. So therefore, I give to you:
The Best of Stewie!
Waitress: Here you go, fella. From Flappy himself.
Stewie: I don't care if they...
[Stewie is force-fed a bite of pancakes]
Stewie: Oh... oh these are delectable. Hey, Flappy. Good news. I've decided not to kill you.
[watching a baseball game]
Why does that man drop his club before he runs? I would bring it with me.
Soooo Broccoli, mother says you're very good for me. But I'm afraid I'm no good for you.
Stewie: Cut my eggs.
Butler: [cuts eggs] Your eggs are cut sir.
Stewie: Cut my milk!
Butler: I can't sir, it's liquid.
Stewie: Imbecile! Freeze it, then cut it, and if you question me again I'll put you on diaper detail and I promise I won't make it easy for you.
Damn you vile woman, you've impeded my work since the day I escaped your wretched womb.
No sprinkles. For every sprinkle I find, I shall kill you.
You. Fetch me my copy of the Wall Street Journal. You two, fight to the death.
Come any closer and I'll cut her. [realizes he's holding a tongue depresser]
Alright, I'll give her a series of splinters... that could become infected.
Am I to spend the entire day wallowing around in my own feces? A little service here.
Let me guess, you picked out yet another colorful box with a crank that I'm expected to turn and turn until OOP! big shock, a jack pops out and you laugh and the kids laugh and the dog laughs and I die a little inside.
There's always been a lot of tension between Lois and me, and it's not so much that I want to kill her, it's just, I want her not to be alive anymore.
Bill Cosby: Stewie, what do you think candy is made out of?
Stewie: Sunshine and farts! What the hell kind of question is that?! I was under the impression the name of the show was "Kids Say the Darndest Things," not "Old Black Comedians Never Shut the Hell Up."
Lois: Stewie why don't you play in the other room?
Stewie: Why don't you burn in hell?
Oh my God... It has finally happened, he has become so massive that he collapsed into himself like a neutron star
I say, Rupert, this paste is quite delicious. It's almost worth the bowel obstruction!!!
Stewie: Well, Well mother we meet again.
Lois: Stewie I thought I tucked you in an hour ago.
Stewie: Not tightly enough it would seem, and now you contemptible harpy, I shall end your oppressive reign of matriarchal tyranny!
And, of course:
VICTORY IS MINE!
No series should be broadcasted more than 5 years. The Simpsons suck, specially Homer, who is retarded, and having fun of a man who is obviously a retatred is a pitty (insert brain here gag?... I almost cried when I saw it) . And they've killed Fututama, which was damn cool.
I wish someone revives Grimes and he kills Homer... An adult series of Bart should be cool, though, and IMHO.
Ok. here's one.
The whole story is amazing...
The episode's called "We lost our Lisa"
Lisa, is desperate to go in an exhibition for ancient Egypt in a Museum. So she takes the bus, which takes her downtown. And there the problem begins, cause even a genius like Lisa, can't find her way back home. She bumps onto some Russian (?) guys and she's terrified.
Anyway Homer, who is the one who gave her permission to go by bus, is also desperate to find her.
In the middle of the crowded street, Homer realises that it's imposible to find her and that the only solution would be to be higher. So he goes to a guy selling balloons, and he buys all the balloons!
He then exchanges the balloons to use a cherry picker (?). He goes up, finds Lisa and then the brakes fail him and he starts slidding down the hill. Petrified with what's happening he goes:
"I'm not normally a praying man, but if you're up there please save me SUPERMAN!"
Sorry had to explain all the situation... :)
The Original Homer Simson?
Quote from: Farlander on Fri 16/09/2005 12:21:13
I wish someone revives Grimes and he kills Homer... An adult series of Bart should be cool, though, and IMHO.
I do believe that the episode with Grimes (who is truthfull about everything he says, mid you) was on Season 8.
For a guy who thinks Simsons should leave us so many years a lot you seem to know a lot about them and you seem to enjoy an episode made 3 years after they should've shut the series... ;D
I agree with Farlander, although it shouldn't have been cancelled after five seasons: Some of the older shows suck, especially before they changed the animation style and perfected Homer's voice. All in all, it only had five good seasons, but they were scattered around the however-many-season reign of the show, so it was a necessary evil.
BTW: Doctor Who has been going since 1954, I think, with only a decade or so break........
And how can you not like Mr. Burns: "Release the hounds!"
Nikol, I don't like the Simpsons after season 5, but the chapter about Grimes is one of my favourites, though. I perfecty agree with Grimes. Homer would have been my enemy too, and since that chapter, when Homer killed Grimes, which was just antipathy for a character became is hate and sickness.
Farlander: I don't want you to think that I love the Simpsons today... I don't. I actually believe that inspiration can take you this far. And maybe, even 5 years is a long time, maybe not. But certainly having a series forever is too long. I'm just arguing... It's just that as the time passes and inspiration fades the good episodes seem to be getting scarce more and more. But "Homers enemy" was a good one, and I really pitied Grimes. And BTW I think that in that episode was being half way sarcastic about Homer. The other half actually was saying that Ok. you can be Homer, and nobody minds really...
My opinion... ;)
I really shouldn't post this, seeing as arguing about when the Simpsons started to go wrong is third only to the Star Wars prequels and the pros and cons of George W Bush on the list of tedious internet debates in which participation should be punishable by death.
But...saying the Simpsons sucked after series five has now taken the no.1 spot as the single most extreme and incorrect opinion on the Simpsons' decline.
The truth of the matter:
Season 1 = Enjoyable but still obviously finding its feet.
Seasons 2 - 8 = Godlike genius.
Seasons 9 - 10 = Cracks starting to show, but still consistently funny on the whole.
Seasons 11 - present = varying degrees of deadening, near-unwatchable horror, with the rare funny line and even rarer consistently solid episode.
Though to be fair i haven't watched too many post season 10 episodes. But most of the ones I have seen have been bad enough to make sure i'll probably never watch one again.
Anyway, Simpsons is a work of a genius and I don't think that there is anybody (exept 10 people every decade, maybe), that can withstand time... So there you go Simpsons is a great series, which's gone too far... Am I repeating myself? :(
Mmm... I agree. I don't give a fuck about Homer actually, it is a group of black lines and yellow paint.
But I personally give -1 to someone who comes to me with a Homer avatar, or with a Homer t-shirt or something like that, I think Homer is old fashined and boring.
Nothing serious, one point less in my admiro-meter is not much, you can gain way more that this saying that you like spaghetti better than noddles or something... I mean... I am happy actually that if people like Homer or not is a big problem for me because that means that REALLY important things do not worry me at the moment. Ã, :)
*EDIT AFTER READING PAULSC*
I don't know if it was in chapter 5 or 6, or 9 when they started to suck FOR ME, but they really suck IMHO. I am not victim of a massive internet wave of opinion, first news I have that more people thinks like me. I am not saying that the Simpsons suck, I just say that they suck for me[/s] for some years. And I would say they suck since they started to focus the gags into Homer's stupidity, don't know in which season it started. I still love Bart (My balls do not fit me in my pants) and I do love Futurama, because for me Futurama is the story of an adult Bart. A looser, yeah, but able to be sensitive and sensible in some ocasions, unlike Homer. And I do love the "apparently" supporting character (Bender), so much than the "apparently " supporting character Homer. ("apparenly" because they become the main chars, or the most focused char, after a while...).
Please don't ruin Futurama by saying it's about an adult Bart. :=
Bart is a boring character on his own, which is why Homer took over as the main character for most of the episodes. Fry mostly manages to fend off Bender.
As for mocking the retarded, Homer doesn't behave like a retarded character, and despite his base motivations he is an extremely lovable character, so I don't agree with you there Farl.
I think they've still got a lot to say on the Simpsons. Anything that can be critical of Fox and the current administration, and play on Fox, is a good thing in my book.
Those Stewie quotes definitely make me want to watch more Family Guy. Cheers!
Stewie is definitely the complete and utter shite. However, I am kind of depressed about the fact that the God of All Cartoon Characters exists within such an utterly deplorable show. I might be a bit old fashioned, but I find jokes that degrade women and excessive sexual innuendos to be tiresome and immature (yes, I am a heterosexual male). I find Peter to be a fat idiot, like Farlander's concept of Homer, and pray daily for his immediate evisceration. Chris ::shudders:: let's not even discuss Chris. Seth Green should be ashamed that he can portray utter stupidity and... well, fatness isn't a personality trait, but... fatness... with such skill. Meg is okay, and Lois is okay. I want Quagmire to suffer a horrible death, although in the rare instance when he's not being a horndog he can pop out the occassional funny line. Joe is cool, and I love Stewie's perception of him as a cyborg ("tell me, how did you come across this wonderful machine?"). That black guy who's name I can't immediately remember is probably the third funniest character, even though he's as dry as Ben Stein (who is also, IMHO, quite humorous). Second only to Stewie is Brian. Spell "DOG" backwards and realize his true glory.
I remember watching the simpsons on the commercial breaks of the Tracey Ulman show, back when they first started up. I don't mind the shows now, I don't really know if its better or worse, but it's gone on long enough. I had hoped that futurama would be given all the attention and continue on, but no, we got screwed there.
I've never understood the backlash against Family Guy, because between that and Futurama (and occasionally South Park) you'll not find a more hilarious animated comedy (although I guess if you have a rather conservative sense of humour it's bound to leave distaste).
Oh, come on... It is Bart with tanned skin and a different nose!
J/K. I was just talking about the figure of an american 1980-and-something born loser.
Fry's story with the fascist dad and the sport fan mum and Yamshee (sp) it's more appealing to me.
And yeah... In my mind Bart and Homer appear to be rivals into leading the series interest role issue. Bender and Fry seem to be mates in that aspect for me.
This is definately my favourite Family Guy related thing to quote:
http://zvbxrpl.blogspot.com/2004/09/why-i-hate-family-guy.html
I agree, but I pissed it off with Tom "Custard" (saying I like Southampton F.C.) before, so I decided not to mention anything about Family Man...
Oooops...
heh Farlander, there has to be someone out there that likes southampton :P
But now I moved to Portsmouth! :D
sorry i replied a bit late, to everyone who said what the hell is the "original" homer simpson, it is the Homer in the first series, when he talks in a completely different voice. Indeed, he is tributed to in Treehouse of Horror 13, the first story 'Send in the Clones' (which incidently also had a Family Guy tribute), there are a bunch of Homer Clones, and they all look slightly different from the presentday Homer. Then, you see the "original" homer. Sorry about any confusion.
Oh, BTW, my favourite FG quotes.
Peter:'Holy Crip he's a crapple!'
and in the same episode,
The Grinch:'You think all is good, you think all is well,
well kiss my green ass, i'll see you in hell!'
Stewie: 'Oh, for god's sake, HE'S WEARING A WIRE!'
Mobsters: 'Hey, dis guy's wearin' a wire'
(gunshots)
Stewie: 'Ahh, night Brian'
Stripper on TV: 'Do you want to see more?'
Peter: ... yes please....
Stripper on TV: ' Then you'll have to order my next video.'
Peter: ' oh it's simple. They live in a crappy neighbourhood'.
Chris: ' The Bradys?'
Peter: 'Oh yeah, they got gangsters, drug dealers, murderers. See, the worst we got is the uh... Jehovah's Witnesses'
Jehova's Witness: 'Y'all want some pancakes?'
Peter: 'No thank you'.
That treehouse of horror was the absolute worst episode I ever saw of the Simpsons. Since then it's become merely boring, as opposed to downright horrible. But no show lasts forever, sometimes it's best to let things die.
I'm glad Futurama ended when it did. I thought the last season was rather bad. Wasn't far from reaching the same low as The Simpsons.
Futurama has some of the best quotes ever.
FARNSWORTH'S CLONE - "I hear alcohol makes you stupid"
FRY - "No i'm... doesnt?!"
then almost anything said by Zap Branigan
Ball Emporer - "We demand bouncing, followed by rolling, followed by bouncing of a second kind"
Futurama was pure gold from episode 1 - 4
Family guy has lots of good quotes, some funnies have been posted.

I liked the last series of Futurama, despite the fact that it was starting to take a different direction of sorts. A few of the later episodes focused on tieing up some loose ends (Leela's parents, the Fry/Nibbler storyline) and also got some quite emotional episodes in there ("The Sting"? That one with Fry's dog?).
They tried to be a bit clever at parts, but for the most part they actually succeeded in this. I didn't like some of the later episodes on first viewing, but watching them again recently I've decided while they aren't out & out hilarious, they're still good for different reasons.
In the end, I just viewed the show as a love story. It's not as obvious as most out there, but perhaps that's why I like it. It's quite subtle in this area, for the most part.
But that said, I'm glad it ended when it did. They got a chance to "finish" it properly, without a sudden decline, which would have ruined the whole thing for me.
Oh, and Family Guy CAN be awesome. And usually is.
I REALLY want to like Family Guy... But it mocks certain things that I really don't enjoy having made a mockery of.
It CAN be funny, but it's not something I'd watch all the time and obsess over. As for Futurama... I really enjoyed the series.. But The Simpsons has turned from genius, family comedy to random sex jokes and horrendously played absurdities.
I don't know, it seems more like the entire plotline is detiriorating in every way. The random sex jokes used to just be "Mayor Quimby & The Squeaky Bimbo", but have turned into "Homer's a horny fatload". Whenever Marge and Homer had a fight, Homer realized he did something wrong. He confronted marge and took care of things, and (in some cases) saved Marge from herself. Even though he was childish then, it was in an innocent way. He never meant malevolence towards others, and has helped out random extra characters more times than I could count. Bart and Lisa were a team together in many episodes, and helped each other many times. However after that restraining order episode their relationship was more driven by anger. And the plotlines for the episodes? They would be fine... if not for the character change in the family. The show is still funny at some points, but not nearly as much as other seasions.
EDIT: I feel that I should point out that when a show like the simpsons meets such a high peak of glory (and loses they're good writers) they have a choice of either going out with a bang, getting one final burst of money, or siphoning all the money out of it they can as the plot deteriorates and the whole thing plops out of existance.
EDIT2: how do you spell "siphon"?
I'm not gonna get too deeply involved in this, but Farlander... after reading what you've written here, I have to say that I think you've completely and utterly missed the whole point of the Simpsons.
I don't think the current seasons are as good as the old stuff, but everytime I find myself complaining about them, I find myself watching one and cracking up. There's STILL a lot of gold in the Simpsons even today.
I better not see anyone talk shit about Futurama though. There'll be corpses everywhere.
heh, futurama.
Farnsworth: Good news, you will be involved in a highly controversial mission.
Fry: Controversial?
Farnsworth: oh, my no.
Zoidberg: Well, if you'll excuse me i see some ravioli with only two footprints on it.
(Bender walks past Zoidberg and "Splat!" is heard)
Zoidberg: Three.
Fry: My friends... my family... my girlfriend... they're all gone...... WOOHOO!
Ok Kinoko, ok... Maybe you are right, you know me better than myself and I love the Simpsons... :P
What the hell have you read? I wrote that I don't like them.
Did I wrote they're bad? NO. I told I don't like them.
Please, this is exausting. I don't want to enter in such a pointless discussion. This is like discussing if strawberries are good or not. Maybe 99% of the people like them, but if I don't like them, and I won't ever do, no matter what those 99% say.
So, let's shut up, ;) You are not right. Simpsons are not good. I am not right. Simpsons are not bad. It is just up to anybody. If they like them, they're good, if they don't, they aren't.
Farlandero wins!!!1!!11one!!!
Whoh Farlander....! :o
... and they say I'M crazy! :P ;D
1. The Simpsons has outlived it's death sentence (not to say it's bad, it's just old)
2. Futurama SHOULD have been given a better chance.
3. Though Family Guy is vulgar, it IS hilarious if you're not an extremely conservative person who takes offense very easily.
4. WTF is wrong with you people? MONTY PYTHON hahahahahahahahahahahahaaaa!!!
NI NI NI!!!
"Did you say mattress?"
"Time to sing the national anthem again!"
"Coconuts are tropical!"
"You've just fallen for one of the classic blunders, the first of which is to never get involved in a land war in Asia, and second, and only slightly less well known, is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line! HAHAHAHAHA ::thump:: "
Another classic, though not as classic as Monty Python (every sperm is sacred)...
Why not just start discussing religion? It's almost like we've got the Bartians versus the Stewieans versus the Anazoidbergs in here....
Actually, getting back on topic...
(Monorail Episode)
Homer: Son, are we going to die here?
Bart: Yep. But at least we'll take a lot of innocent people with us...
The thing is to watch the Simpsons on the British Channel 4, as they only have up to... I'd say 10th series, which is all the good stuff. A lack of an evil, EVIL Sky box ( *OPINION ALERT!* So said as every show I love go's off to sky and get's eaten up and spat out by shoddy ratings because everyones watching the stupid, stupid american comedies and other rubbish. There is no such thing as a decent american show in my eyes... grrrrrrr.)
EDIT: For all US readers, no offence ment. (Also, why is there a US equivalent of every Reality show? Is it because Americans are so much funnier to watch on British TV? - Awnser, yes. Nothing like "Chef Ramsey" insulting people anyway. It's just funnier in the US...)
Err... right... the saddest thing is, though, that you're right. There's a few things you can stand to watch here in america, and the rest is just ratshit on a stick.
Even if I've never actually seen a new "stupid, stupid american comedy" in years.
Makes me sad :'(
The sad thing is actually people buy Sky boxes. I have a perfectly happy time with a TV and a freeview box. ;)
edit: Maybe listening to American Idiot by Green Day isn't the best song to listen to at this moment... sheer coincidence, honest :)
edit2: And freeview is about a gazzilion times cheaper as well!
a few more quotes:
"Lou: Y'know i went to the McDonalds in Shelbyville last night.
Wiggum: The Mcwhat?
Lou: McDonalds. Yeah, i never heard of it either, but apparently they have 2000 locations in this state alone.
Eddie: Must've sprung up overnight.
Lou: But see, it's the little differences you notice.
Wiggum: How so?
Lou: Well, at McDonalads you can get a Krustyburger with Cheese, but they don't call it that.
Wiggum: Get out. Well, what do they call it?
Lou: Quarter Pounder with Cheese.
Wiggum: Quarter Pounder with Cheese?! Well, i can picture the cheese but... do they have Krusty Partly Gelatinated Gum-based Beverages?
Lou: Yep. Call 'em "shakes".
Eddie: Shakes. Hmph. Don't know what your getting."
"Bart:Dear lord,
please bless Lisa, and Maggie, and Homer, and Mum, and please God, kill Sideshow Bob.
Marge: Gasp! Bart, you can't ask God to kill Sideshow Bob.
Homer: Yeah, you do your own dirty work".
"Homer: That's it Marge. He knows the whole hotdog song. Go ahead, sleep with him. I'll just take this lock of your hair to remember me by. It's only you and me now lock of hair."
Sorry to bring this back, but I felt it was unnecessary to start a new Simpsons thread for this.
In Spain, from the very first chapter where Secondary Bob appears, it is dubbed by the actor who puts the voice on Frashier Crane. Some years after, the series of Fashier started, so, the actor's voice became popular. He was not very popular in Cheers.
Well... in one chapter, Bob's bro appears, and it is obviously a cameo towards Frashier's series. In Spain, they used the voice of the actor who dubbs (sp?) Niles Crane for making the chapter more enjoyable. The coincidence (That the actor who was going to become notorious making the voice of Frashier, performanced from the beginning the voice of Bob) is lovely.
But, my question is... Was Kesley Grammer the voice of Bob in the United States? Was it just from certain season? Is he the voice actor just for the chapter with his brother? Or does the actor who performance Bob sound simillar to Kesley Grammer, and that's used in that chapter as an in-joke?
Thanks. ^_^.
Sideshow Bob is voiced by Kelsey Grammer (Frasier Crane)
His brother, Cecil, is voiced by David Hyde Pierce (Niles Crane) - who I would gladly bed.
I'm actually -amazed- they went to the trouble to replicate this in the Spanish version!

Now, that is an image that will never leave my brain. he he :)
Here's a quote I love:
(Smithers, Mr. Burns and Homer are flying in an airplane escaping authorities in America)
Mr Burns: Smithers, look! A tropical paradise! Let's land there. We'll rule the island alone!
Smither: Sir, that's Cuba.
Mr Burns: Well, then, bring the plane down. I want to live in Cuba.
Smithers: But, sir, you've got the controls..
