Life is shit, but one of the best ever episodes of The Simpsons in on Channel 4 now!

[Quark]

One of my favourite quotes was on yesterday in The Cartridge Family Episode:

Marge: You lied to me Homer! You told me you got rid of the gun!

Homer: But Marge, I swear, I never thought you'd find out!

A great recurring joke in the Simpson is things catching fire/exploding for no reasons...

 

[Hugh Jass]

Just realised we’ve gone six pages without reference to the finest three minutes of television in history...

“Good lord what is happening in there?!?”

”Aurora Borealis?”

“Aurora Borealis?!? At this time of day? At this time of year? In this part of the country? Localised entirely within your kitchen?!?”

”Yes.”

”Can I see it?”

”No.”

Is this the same episode as:

"Five days? But I'm mad now! I'd kill you if I had my gun"

"Yeh, well...you don't"

Classic.

That Aurora Borealis sketch is up there with the finest moments in television history.

For Simpsons obsessives like me this is a really good read...

Basically a detailed piece on every single episode from the first 10 series, some reviews are better than others depending on the writer. A couple fall into the trap of just explaining why obvious jokes are funny, but some of them are really good, offering nice little insights on the writing, personal perspectives and even pointing out the odd joke you may have missed.

Well worth a look for big fans.

Well people did rate the episode highly in their top tens earlier in the thread, and I can’t imagine it’s because of Lisa getting gum in her hair.

You say that, but the line “everyone needs to drive a vehicle, even the very tall” slays me every time.

Just started watching series 1 episode 1 , Simpson’s roasting on an open fire.

[Hugh Jass]

I’m tempted to watch them all through in order and post my observations but it’s a colossal undertaking.

I'm not gonna lie, if I had the time to be blasting through a series this week I just found out the 90s spiderman cartoons are included with Disney+ so I'd have to go through that before the simpsons episodes I've seen 10+ times each. 

Maybe this wasn't the thread to share that ahah.

My mate's fantasy football team are called the "Holy Rollers".

My name if I wasn't Fuzzy Dunlop on here, it was going to be Armin Tamzarian.

Also, 90s X-Men cartoon is on there. I didn’t expect to get this spoilt with it already. 
Simpsons marathon in chronological order will happen soon.
