Classic.

Hank: By the way, Homer, what's your least favorite country: Italy or
France?
Homer: France.
Hank: [chuckles] Nobody ever says Italy. [sets the coordinates of a

The show just started dying on its ar$e around season 9 or 10 and started going (very quickly) downhill from there on in.

If it had stopped at season 10 then it would quite rightly be considered the greatest TV show ever made but the fact that they still spit out any ould sh!te to grab a quick buck demeans it greatly imho....

I mean what season is it on now...15 or 16? That's a long long time since they made an episode that could be considered a classic. They seemed to drop the subtle humour of old and just replaced it with very very poor slapstick.

Didn't even bother wasting my money to watch the movie as I presume its more of the same....

Did anyone watch the Simpsons Film, I managed 5 minutes before I had to turn it off as it was as awful as the new episodes. I wathed the entire Futurama film and it was also rubbish. It was nowhere near the standard of the series.

Watched both twice now and enjoyed parts of both but just felt an hour plus is too much for these shows that they just pad out a episode to make it over an hour long and the jokes are so far apart it gets quite boring.

But i guess there is only so many jokes out there that between the simpsons and futurama and the movie versions that its going to be very hard to keep going.

Only TV cartoon to movie that worked was south park that was brilliant.But even the shows took a massive dip when they started just slagging off celebs every week at least they have gone back to just doing funny stories lately with the odd celeb bashing for good measure.

What could be good is Clevland a spin off from family guy , Seth macfarlane and one of the writers from the simpsons are writting it.

Jebus is indeed a reference to a Simpsons episode, the one where Homer gets on a plane to escape the PBS people and realises he's going to a missionary island and says,

'Save me Jebus!', after earlier in the showing saying that he doesn't even believe in Jebus

Like I said though, up to and including Season 9 it was the greatest show ever made, the new episodes just taints the shows legacy though

**Morbo** · 04/06/2008, 11:17 AM

For me it was at its peak from series 4-7, seasons 3 & 8 were still great but just a notch below its prime, 1,2 & 9 were good but from 10 onwards it declined rapidly, I just like to pretend it finished after season 9 its not that hard and nobody forces you to watch the new ones.
Anyway I'm grateful to Groening as the Simpsons is probably the best thing to ever come out of America, Futurama was very good too while it lasted a very underrated show IMO, does Groening even have control over the Simpsons anymore? I thought he gave up control of the series when he went to work on Futurama.

Classic.

The episode where Homer and Barney compete to board a shuttle into space had some great moments as well.

"We've made our decision. You could say your both winners. In a more accurate way, Barney you're the winner and Homer you're the loser."

Great episode. My favourite bit was where Barney does a load of flips successfully and Homer tries it and hits into the wall, don't think I've ever laughed so much at one part of The Simpsons

There's a bit in the episode where Lisa likes Nelson, where Lisa gives Milhouse a note saying "guess who likes you?". Milhouse passed it on to Nelson, who thinks it actually came from Milhouse. The very next scene is Milhouse being put into an ambulance, Lisa tries to apologise, and the driver tells her "He can't hear you now". It's my sense of humour all over, I laughed so hard my kidneys hurt

Your post made me remember that moment, and I'm cracking up laughing now.

You forgot to mention Milhouse's raised eyebrows

You forgot to mention why he could'nt......

''....He can't hear you now. We had to pack his ears with gauze.......''

**Morbo** · 09/06/2008, 9:42 AM

Yeah that Milhouse scene killed me, loved the Homer goes to college episode too, lots of great moments, my fav was probably his first day at a lecture where the lecturer is telling the class the times of the Lectures and homer asks "do we have to go?" Lecturer: "No" Homer:"Then you can kiss my curvy butt goood byyee".
The next scene is the class looking out the window at homer giggling while chasing a squirel around a tree

Favourite Marge and Homer dialogue,

Bart comes home from his part time job at Krusty's TV show looking upset

Marge: Something seems to be the matter with Bart
Homer (reading the paper): Probably needs new glasses
Marge: No it seems to be something else
Homer: Probably misses his old glasses
Marge: I'd ask him, but then I'd be afraid of smothering him
Homer: Yeah, and then we'd get the chair
Marge: That's not what I meant at all
Homer: It was Marge, admit it

Cracks me up even thinking about it

During one episode, the Seacaptain had opened an "All you can Eat" Restaurant. As a gimmick for the opening night, Homer got to eat for free. The Seacaptain hadn't bargained on Homer eating practically all of his stock.

At one stage, a visibly traumatised Seacaptain tells a local TV Crew:

"He emerged from the night, more stomach than man"

**Lionel Ritchie** · 09/06/2008, 3:00 PM

Ah good ol' Captain McAllister.

In the Valentines day themed show he's shown arriving on board with a stack of skin-mags
Captain: "This lot should stop the lads from resorting to homosexuality ...(rolls eyes) for about 5 minutes"
Camp Crewman: "Yeah like you can talk"
Captain (blushing and chuckles nervously) "...Aaarr".

"Do they sound like the actions of a man who had "All he could eat" ? "

"I heard your dad went into the restaurant , and ate all the food in the restaurant , and they had to close the restaurant"

Ah, Ralph Wiggum, he gets some of the best lines
"I'm pedalling backwards!"
"Hi Super Nintendo Chalmers"
"Principal Skinner, I got car sick in your office"
"That's where I saw the leprechaun, he told me to burn things"

Classic.

"You Only Move Twice" - my favourite episode of the show. I think the funniest moment in the episode is uttered at the dinner table in the next scene. Homer, trying to make conversation, casually says, "I caught a slacker at work today."
