The greatness of The Simpsons

Homer: "Lisa, if the Bible has taught us anything, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girls sports like hot oil wrestling, foxy boxing and such and such."

 

"Hi, I'm Troy McClure. You might remember me from such self-help videos as Smoke Yourself Thin, and Get Confident, Stupid."


Flanders: "Well, boys, I just recovered from that bump on my head, thanks to Christian prayer and good old doctor Sheldon Lowelstein."

 

Ned Flanders: I’ve done everything the Bible says — even the stuff that contradicts the other stuff!

 

Homer, after prayer to get past the gummi-groping incident
Homer: God, just give me a sign.
Phone rings
Homer: Hello?
Ominous voice: Hello, Homer. This is God...frey Jones from the TV magazine show "Rock Bottom". We're aware of your problems, and, Mr. Simpson...we want to help.
Homer: Mmm. I saw that report you did on Sasquatch. It was fair and even-handed. I'll do it!

 

Not sure why this one jumped into my head the other day, but I was remembering the one where Lisa joins MENSA, and Stephen Hawking shows up and calls them out when their genius utopia falls apart, and Homer chimes in with:
"Larry Flynt's right; you guys stink!"

It takes guts (and fantastic writing) to make fun of Dr. Hawking like that and still have him lend his voice to the show. I thought it was fantastic.

 

Homer: Here's to alcohol. The cause of -- and solution to -- all of life's problems.

 

Fantastic job having that fourth Beaver not look off the page.

 

Best episode ever.

 

Homer: Look, kids! I just got my party invitations back from the printers!
Lisa (reading): Come to Homer's BBBQ. The extra B is for BYOBB.
Bart: What's that B for?
Homer: That's a typo.

 

Don't forget, we're parked under the sun sphere.
