Doh!

The episode where Lisa babysits older brother Bart, here is the exchange...

Lisa: "BART, go to bed." moments later...

Bart is sitting at the table eating bread.

Lisa: "Bart, I told you to go to bed."

Bart: "No you didn't. You said go to BREAD."

Bart continues to eat bread.

One of the funniest episodes is where the family goes to Dr. Marvin Monroe and gets hooked up to an electro-shock therapy thing.

Just testing.

Another good one...

The one where Homer is led up the mountain for the powerbar company by two Sherpas.

And he rides down the hill using that one frozen guy as a tabogon.

Homer, a manual labourer in a nuclear power plant, is an individualist who teaches his kids not to worry too much about what others think of them.

Ummmm....Homer is a saftey inspector. This is not manual laborer. The author tries to pull out of context to prove his point....but the whole picture is a different story. I can pull things out of context that show Homer is a terrible parent. In last nights re-run he was Internet sleuth Mr. X. While absorbed in this, Bart tells Homer that he has been suspended and they found a knife and that he is angry all the time. Homer pays him no attention.

Don't get me wrong, but I hate when people try to find a deep meaning of nothing. I love Homer....but I won't say that he is this or that because he is nothing but paper cuttouts and a varying array of different writers.

All parents can learn from Homer's ability to control his kids without yelling or using bribery.

Has this guy ever watched the show? Homer yelling "Why you...!" while choking Bart is one of the ongoing gags. Nice take on a funny show, but it's a reach.

Yet more evidence that the liberal mind is so shot through with chaos and pathos that putting together any type of cognitive argument is well beyond its capacity.

Fact and reality whiz by their comprehension like raindrops in a hurricane. The resulting perception of the world around them is composed of largely missing information and poorly arranged “thought”.

Its funny cause its true.

Nu-cu-lar. Its pronounced, Nu-cu-lar.

[BikerNYC]

Mmmmmmmmm. Floor pie.

I saw that one last night. FWIW, they're starting to release the episodes on DVD. $29 a season, but only releasing one season every few months. Don't remember when I laughed so hard

[Hegewisch Dupa]

I agree with almost all of what you said, F&B, with the exception of

but I won't say that he is this or that because he is nothing but paper cuttouts and a varying array of different writers

Any character represents something. Even a goof like Homer. But man, good father he ain't.

[El Sordo]

A bump for the HOmega Man.

The author tries to pull out of context to prove his point....but the whole picture is a different story. . . .

Simpsons ping!

This is some of the most amazing taking out of context I've ever seen! I absolutely LOVE the Simpsons, and about half of this is just skewed. (And it's really poorly written - it reads like an eighth-grader wrote it.)

That one episode where Homer decides not to go to church is an isolated incident (but it's hilarious). Homer never again skips church. Actually, the Simpsons are the only sitcom family who go to church every Sunday.

Apu and Homer travel to India to meet the CEO of Quickie Mart. CEO: You may ask me three question.

Apu: Thats great cause I only have one.

Homer: Are you REALLY the head of the quickie mart?

CEO: Yes

Homer: Really ?

CEO: Yes

Homer: You?

CEO: Thank you come again.

There is no doubt in my mind that Homer is a brilliant man.

Simpsons DVDs? Cool. :)

...he is nothing but paper cuttouts and a varying array of different writers.

You really know how to hurt a guy.

Thanks, I'm sending this home so maybe I'll be allowed to watch them tonight with "The Boy".
