Quoting The Simpsons

Does anyone else use quotes from The Simpsons pretty much every day? I was in a store today and saw a display of Moon Pies. This is pathetic, but I said to myself out loud, in old man Jasper's voice, "Moon...pies...what a time to be alive." I find myself doing random lines like this pretty much every day, especially around my Simpson-fan co-workers.

Anyone else do this?

Re: Quoting The Simpsons

I've done it quite a bit. Also at work for about two months straight we played the Kevin Bacon game but with Simpsons guest stars .

Endlessly.

I can pull a Simpsons quote out for almost any occasion.

Re: Quoting The Simpsons

I practiced my Homer aloud when this one popped in my head tonight.

Hello, my name is Mr. Burns. I believe you have a letter for me.
Okay Mr. Burns, what's your first name.
I don't know.

Re: Quoting The Simpsons

Haha, funny I was just discussing this today with a friend of mine.

All the time. Prime Simpsons, of course. I think it's possible to answer any question with a Simpsons quote.

Re: Quoting The Simpsons

I like Simpsons quotes as long as it isn't the stale "I, for one, welcome our new _____ overlords." I think someone posts that in 95% of the threads here.

Re: Quoting The Simpsons

I used to record bits off of the tv onto my answering machine back in the early '90's as my outgoing message. My favorites were:

Burns: I see you have your running shoes on, that's a good thing. Release the hounds.

Chalmers: Yes, I guess I should be --[notes entire kitchen is on fire] Good Lord, what is happening in there?
Skinner: Aurora Borealis?
Chalmers: Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your kitchen?
Skinner: Yes.
Chalmers: May I see it?
Skinner: Oh, erm... No.

And yes, I always use these and others lines.

Re: Quoting The Simpsons

I do! I've actually been going through the golden years on DVD lately and there's even been a few quotes I use that I'd forgotten came from The Simpsons.

Re: Quoting The Simpsons

I'm more likely to pull out a Kevin Smith reference, but I pull out Simpsons references frequently.

Yesterday a band emailed me about their new album "Get Confident, Stupid!" I told them my album would be "Christmas Ape Goes to Summer Camp."

Re: Quoting The Simpsons

I'm continually amazed at the people that have been saying the Simpsons should have been cancelled after season 10, yet continue to quote lines from recent episodes.

Re: Quoting The Simpsons

The President's Neck is Missing

Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius.

I hate every ape I see from Chimpan-A to chimpan-Z though you'd never make a monkey out of me. Oh, my God! I was wrong. It was Earth all along. You finally made a monkey.

Yes, You finally made a monkey.

Yes, you finally made a monkey out of me. I love you, Dr. Zaius.

Re: Quoting The Simpsons

I use two more often than others:

Me fail English? That's unpossible!

and

(Marge) "But you liked Rashomon!"
(Homer) "That's not how I remember it."

New episodes get better with repeat viewings, imho...

That is strange because that is a slightly more obscure one, and my buddy at work and I were just discussing this same one.

And yes, I always use these and others lines.
