Favourite Simpson-isms

[Che Guava]

Had a conversation today with a friend about how many obscure little quotes from The Simpsons have made thier way into my everyday lexicon, so much so that I sometimes forget thier original meaning. Does this happen to you?

A few of my favourites:

"Car gone! CAR GONE!" (when someone is panicking)

"Yeah...looks like..." (a la John Travolta) (when someone compliments me on something I'm not too certain of...)

"Twenty dollars?! I wanted a peanut...." (when someting good happens!)

and yours....?

 

[Stevenpfo]

"Me fail English? That's umpossible!"

"Save me Jeebus!"

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

I found that pretty much every situation has a Simpsons quote to go with it. In fact, I had one the other day but now I forgot it.

every simpsons-ism which contains the word "beer".

"D'oh!!!" - Homer Simpson

"しまった、ばかね!!" - Homer Simpson (Thirty Minutes over Tokyo, after a paper crane made from the family's last ¥1,000,000 is taken by the wind): (Romanji: Shimatta, baka ne!!) Translates to "Damn it fool/idiot!" but subtitled as "D'oh".

"There YEARS ahead of us!" - Homer Simpson (Thirty Minutes over Tokyo, Homer comments on the high tech toilets in a Japanese Hotel)

I adopted the word slowpid (first spoken by Ned Flanders: "I guess that's why they call them 'rapids' and not 'slowpids'.") to mean someone who is walking in front of you at an insanely slow pace, and blocking the paths of people who are in a hurry.

 

[Irish Caesar]

Homer, on the nuclear power plant:

"I work at a science factory!"

 

[Stevenpfo]

"When I grow up, I'm going to Bovine University!"

"Hi, i'm Troy McClure and you may remember me from such movies as, 'Sorry, Wrong Closet!'"

 

[QuoVadisNation]

Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.

 

[homeyg]

Marge: "Homer, where did you get that suit!?"

Homer (high): "WHOAH WHOAH one question at a time!"

 

[Colonel]

"Why you little... " Classic dealing with children line

"Excellent" Mr. Burns

"well for once the rich white man is in control." Mr Burns the movie.

 

[puglover]

"Hi, i'm Troy McClure and you may remember me from such movies as, 'Sorry, Wrong Closet!'"

"Hi, I'm Troy McClure. You may remember me from such educational science videos as 'Alice Doesn't Live Anymore," and "Mommy, what's Wrong with that Man's Face?"

"Hi, I'm Troy McClure. You may remember me from such informational broadcasts as, "Welcome to Springfield Airport," and "Where's Nordstrom's?"

That guy cracks me up.

[Stevenpfo]

I miss Troy McClure/Lionel Hutz/Phil Hartman

I agree. He was awesome at everything he did.

Off the top of my head...


1. I for one wecome our new X overlords
2. Jeebus. I use this term several times a day. I'm particularly fond of "Jeebus Crisco".
3. D'oh
4. Isn't the Simpsons the origin of the "zee googles zey do nothing" meme?
5. Comic book guy voice exhibit A: "Worst X ever"
5. Comic book guy voice exhibit B: Anytime I'm going to say something self-absorbedly (is that a word?) nerdish.
6. Ned Flanders voice.
7. Homer Simpson drool voice... "mmmmm <insert nasty-sound/tasting food here>"

That's what comes to mind.

 

[jimbob27]

Homer :"There's the right way, the wrong way, and the Max Power way"
Bart :"isn't that just the wrong way?"
Homer: "yes, but faster!"

 

[Masquerouge]

I frequently use "Worst... X... Ever".

And I'm a big fan of "Toohoo! Doughnuts!" whenever there is good food nearby!

4. Isn't the Simpsons the origin of the "zee googles zey do nothing" meme?

Yep. Said by Remier Wolfcastle during the shooting of the Radioactive Man movie.

Director: Now remember, we're using real acid, so goggles on!

He puts on his goggles as the wave of acid approaches. (Millhouse was supposed to save him, but didn't want to act any more) As he's swept away in the flow, he screams: "My eyes! The goggles, they do nothing!"

Instant classic.
