Marge: So, Twiggy, I hear you and your husband, Woody, just had a baby. What did you name him?
"Twiggy": Chip. [Rim shot. No laughs.]
Homer: Take it off!
Bart: [as a bouncer] All right, Dad, you've been warned, let's go

Hahahaha from Homer's Phobia:

Homer: That guy John is the greatest guy in the world. We should have him and his wife over for drinks sometime!

Marge: Hm..I don't think he's married, Homer.

Homer: Oh, a swinging bachelor, eh? Well, there's lots of foxy ladies out there!

Marge: Homer, didnt John seem a little...festive to you?

Homer: Couldn't agree more! Happy as a clam.

Marge: He prefers the company of men!

Homer: Who doesn't?

Marge: Homer, listen carefully: John is a ho-mo-

Homer: ...right?

Marge: -sexual!

Homer: <musical cue> AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Homer: No, my ears are really burning. I wanted to see inside so I lit
a Q-Tip.

Oh and I never knew this.

Matt Groening's name is absent from opening credits because:

Groening's name is conspicuously absent from the credits in this show.
Some excerpts from a Los Angeles Times article from 3-Mar-95 (thanks
to Elson Trinidad for typing this in):

"The Simpsons" creator Matt Groening is so angry with executive
producer James L. Brooks for cross-promoting "The Critic" on this
Sunday's episode that he has yanked his name from the credits.

"I am furious with Matt," Brooks said. "He's been going to
everybody who wears a suit at Fox and complaining about this. When
he voiced his concerns about how to draw 'The Critic' into the
Simpsons' universe he was right and we agreed to his changes.
Certainly he's allowed his opinion, but airing this publicly in the
press is going too far.

"This has been my worst fear . . . that the Matt we know privately
is going public," Brooks added. "He is a gifted, adorable, cuddly
ingrate. But his behavior right now is rotten. And it's not pretty
when a rich man acts like this."

Groening said his decision has nothing to do with [Al] Reiss or
[Mike] Jean [creators of 'the Critic']. His dispute is with Brooks
and the cross-promotion, or crossover.

"The two reasons I am opposed to this crossover is that I don't want
any credit or blame for 'The Critic' and I feel this (encroachment
of another cartoon character) violates the Simpsons' universe,"
Groening said. " 'The Critic' has nothing to do with the Simpsons'
world."

He fears that fans of "The Simpsons" will "accuse us of making the
crossover episode just to advertise 'The Critic.' That's why I've
had my name removed on this episode."

I wonder if A Star is Burns later eased Groening into accepting the two other crossovers (Springfield Files and 24 Minutes), or he felt like those episodes weren't really promotions of those shows.

That's a shame. A Star is Burns is probably in my top 3. We got some of the best gags in the series, including:

Notice those thick framed glasses flying from the explosion onto the stage? Looks like those with which they portray Woody Allen in the New York-episode.

I don't know if this is really old and everyone else already noticed this or if it's in other episodes or whatever, but at the end of Homer vs The 18th Amendment, where Homer is delivering the 'alcohol cause of" etc line, the store behind him is called the 'Pawn * Shop'.

Has that been in other episodes?

His habitat: the frozen tundra of Soldier Field.

For six seasons and two Pro Bowls, he grazed on the tasty green turf of the end zone.

Until one fateful Sunday in November, when the Gazelle was stopped in his tracks...

A Star is Burns is a fantastic episode and they played the crossover perfectly. It may be a top ten episode for me. I mean, it brought us "Boo-urns" (which I still use frequently).

And let's not forget the classic "Let's just say it moved me... TO A BIGGER HOUSE!"

I liked The Critic but I fuckin hated the parts of this episode with Jay Sherman. That episode would have been great on its own but forcing a shitty crossover into it almost ruins the episode.

When are they gonna put this dog out of its misery >_<?

I cant stand it... from such classicly brilliant timeless stuff, to what it has become... 10 seasons too many.

Seinfeld had it right, cut the cord before someone else pulls it >.>!
