    The Simpsons was the real gospel to me in the 90's.

    Never understood the attraction of a **** animated repetitious kids show that went out of its way to stereotype and condemn all things Irish.

    "Little moooore. Little moooooore. Little moooooore. Too much, take it back."

    "Lisa it's your birthday. Happy birthday Lisaaa"

    "Who rigs every oscar night? We do. We dooo."

    "Braaaains. Braaaaains. Use your brains to help us!"

    "Shake harder boy!!"

    "Simpson, Homer Simpson, he's the greatest guy in history! From the town of Springfield he's about to hit a chestnut tree"

    "Linguo is dead"

    "Alright Brain, you don't like me, and I don't like you. But lets just do this, and I can get back to killing you with beer."

    My favourite Simpsons moment.

    "What do we need church shoes for? Jesus wore sandals"

    "Yeah! Well maybe if he had better arch support they wouldn't have caught him!"

    Somebody had to take the babysitter home. Then I noticed she was sitting on the gummy Venus, so I grabbed it off her. Just thinking about that sweet, sweet candy... I just wish I had another one right now!

    That's a brilliant episode.

    ''Remember to tune in tonight for highlights of todays vigil, including where the garbage man came and Marge put the cat out....possibly because it was harrassed, we don't know.''

    Futurama's great too. :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 418 ✭✭S. Goodspeed


    My favorite episode by far is the one where Liam Neeson guest stars as a Catholic priest who converts Bart and Homer.

    Homer trying to convince Marge to convert as well " Catholics rule! We’ve got Boston, South America and the good part of Ireland."

    Liam Neeson after Rev Lovejoy kidnaps Bart to convert him back " If I don't stop it I'll be the worst priest ever, well, apart from, you know..."

    There's plenty more gems in the episode as well

    "Homer Simpson sleeps nude in an oxygen tent which he believes gives him sexual powers!"

    Even at 1:30 am this thread took off like a rocket, its funny how well we relate to the simpsons!

    Reverend Lovejoy: Nice dress.
    Catholic Priest with Oirish accent: Oh, go home and have sex with your wife!
    Reverend Lovejoy: That's it, bring it on!

    There's very few, if any, Simpsons quotes I can remember offhand. Most of the ones that people constantly repeat aren't remotely funny out of context.

    Much as I used to like The Simpsons, when someone replies to a thread by quoting something from it I usually have no idea what they're talking about. Someone replied to me before by saying "don't you hate pants?" and I had no idea what the hell they were going on about.

    Ow! My eye, I'm not supposed to get pudding in it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,130 ✭✭✭Azureus


    'Youll have to speak up, Im wearing a towel'
    'Ah, I see you've played knifey spoony before'

    The only quotes I can remember offhand. Love the Simpsons, though the newer episodes got a bit crap. I was banned watching it (and friends) til I was around 12 :( Had to watch it with the volume down low and switch my mam came into the room.

    Burns: "Ooh don't poo-poo a nickel, Lisa. A nickel will buy you a steak and kidney pie, a cup of coffee, a slice of cheesecake and a newsreel. With enough change left over to ride the trolley from Battery Park to the polo grounds."

    Lisa: "There's a can."

    Two programmes Irish people can be guaranteed to quote: The Simpsons and Father Ted.

    My girlfriend was never a fan of the Simpsons so was confused and then annoyed when we were in Disneyland and every time I saw it or heard mention of it, I'd start saying "Monorail, monorail, monorail, monorail..."
