Favourite Simpsons episode.
Mine is when they go to Japan .
Also, do you have any favourite Simpsons quotes?
And, this website is great.
My favourite character is Lisa. Then probably Jasper.
The best TV show ever made IMO.

Re: Favourite Simpsons episode.
I don't think this poll's shit, seems like a lot of thought went into it, but I am still unable to vote, as I am the only person in the UK who has never seen a whole episode of The Simpsons.
PS: I hope your mouth gets better soon. I was going to make a joke about it, but it would have been insulting to you, if not to Kirk, so I have again censored myself, this time for the sake of being a nice guy.

I like the episode with the phrase "Dental plan" used in it frequently. Thats got nothing to do with the fact that you just had mouth surgery btw.

Re: Favourite Simpsons episode.
Can't believe you listed all those characters and left out my all-time favourite - Ralph Wiggum. Hence I had to vote "none of the above" even though it's far from being the shittest poll ever.
I have too many favourite episodes to pick one, but I have a special fondness for the Homer^3 segment from one of the Halloween specials which has the CGI Homer - here's a favourite snippet.

Re: Favourite Simpsons episode.
I had a tooth that was growing down into the roof of my mouth. Shortly I'll be getting train-track braces for 2 years . Then they were talking about maybe dislocating my jaw to stop my front teeth being so far forward and I just thought "umm, no thanks". Still, it'll be worth it in the long run. Unless I die before I get my braces taken off, that would be crap. Or if my teeth fell out.JackHurst wrote:How come?

Re: Favourite Simpsons episode.
Ha - if I was clever I could probably have figured that was the joke. In PSHE in year 11 we watched this video where some girl was saying about how she dislocated her jaw giving someone a blowjob. It was like a serious video. Just really sticks in my head.Derek Hazell wrote:Okay then - You didn't realise it wasn't only Kirk's vocabulary that was big when you let him own you in the final.Jimmy Gough wrote:Thanks.

Haha this sounds excellent. I think there are DVDs of old sex education films available, I wonder if I can find any. This needs seeing.Charlie Reams wrote:I watched the exact same video.

No you're not.
And before anyone decides it would be pithy to tell me I must therefore be a cunt - it was never a conscious decision not to watch it, more just one of those things.

Worst. Poll. Ever.
Favourite eps:
- The proposition 24 ep where Mayor Quimby tries to deport the illegal immigrants
- Monorail
- Homer getting a triple bypass from Dr Nick
- Hank Scorpio
Favourite scenes:
- The Indiana Jones parody when Bart steals Homer's change jar.
- The short film indoctrinating Lisa's class to meat eating after she triggers two independent thought alarms in one day.

I remember in like year 4 we watched a video of a family (dad, mum, son, daughter) playing volleyball naked at some naturist place.

Re: Favourite Simpsons episode.
I think most people agree that the early seasons were the best (like with most shows, I guess). Fave episode is probably the one where they go to Camp Krusty and Bart leads the rebellion. So many amazing characters, but my heart is with Homer.

Re: Favourite Simpsons episode.
EVERY sex education video has naked volleyball. Often followed by frisbee. Jaw-breaking blowjobs are harder to come by.Jimmy Gough wrote:I remember in like year 4 we watched a video of a family (dad, mum, son, daughter) playing volleyball naked at some naturist place.

Re: Favourite Simpsons episode.
I like the so-much-more-than-friendship between Lenny and fellow boozer Carl so I voted for him.
I like the bit in the episode where Artie spends the weekend with Marge, a parody of the film Indecent Proposal, where Carl and Marge rescue Homer and Lenny from the burning oil rig.

Re: Favourite Simpsons episode.
By the way what is "d'oh" - is it short for something? It seems a very bizarre spelling for an exclamation.

Re: Favourite Simpsons episode.
The moustachioed Scottish actor James Finlayson, who played the moustachioed Scottish heavy in several Laurel and Hardy films, used to utter a drawn-out "d'ooooooohhhh!" when bested, the implication supposedly being that he was about to say "damn" but stopped himself in time. When Dan Castellaneta was confronted in the early Simpsons scripts by directions that said "(annoyed grunt)", he originally borrowed Finlayson's suppressed oath until Matt Groening suggested he shorten it. The scripts continued to render the exclamation as "(annoyed grunt)" long after the catchphrase had become widespread. (This story is quite well known.)Gavin Chipper wrote:By the way what is "d'oh" - is it short for something? It seems a very bizarre spelling for an exclamation.

Re: Favourite Simpsons episode.
In general, I hate people who are obsessed with the Simpsons. They tend to be really annoying people who have no actual meaning to their existence. At secondary school, there was this group of kids who just stood there all day quoting Simpsons' quotes to each other. They really thought they were funny.

Fave Simpsons episodes are the Australia one (knifey-spoony!), the Monorail, the one where the kids reveal secrets and the one where they have a movie festival. Can't remember all my fave moments but I particularly recall the one where Rainier Wolfcastle gets tricked and then goes, "Wait, these are loafers."

Re: Favourite Simpsons episode.
The one where the family are all shocking each other at the therapy centre is the one that's come to mind. Any Troy McClure section too.
As for old school videos, we never got the broken jaw, but I seem to remember naked volleyball, and I remember one with two blokes kissing (ewww etc). Our most memorable vid was undoubtedly the bloke from Galashiels with Tourette's. At primary school, I've a feeling we got a famous(?) video that has a spastic child in it that prompted years' worth of "nghghgmghg" sounds with the appropriate face and tongue in lower lip. You know what I mean. I still do that now come to think of it...

At about 14 years old, I remember Sex Ed consisted entirely of horrifying photos of STDs - pustulated knobs and growlers VERY close up. I remained a virgin til 17. I also remember Mrs Mumford, someone the school hauled in once a year to provide the lessons, asking just the boys if they knew how a woman might first suspect she was pregnant. The answer nervously given by Tiny Maynard -'do their teeth start dropping out?' He wasn't messin'. Ahhh
Have we strayed onto the wrong thread here?
