That moment in "A Star is Burns" when Marge is about to propose her idea at the town meeting and there's a general grumbling. Right after it dies out you hear one guy: "Marge is gonna say something."

Simpsons has the best crowd murmur dialogue. "The finger thing means the taxes!"

lol, SO TRUE! I love when you hear that dude say that "finger thing" line. They threw away more good jokes than most shows have front and center.

You could have a whole thread about their signs.

 

[AdanVC]

There's too many to remember but some that I always remember right away are:

[ATF487]

There's too many to remember but some that I always remember right away are:

It's whisper quiet!

 

[rothgar]

At work, me and my boss are constantly saying "We tried our best and failed miserably, the lesson is never try."

[ggx2ac]

Marge: Children, it's time for you to go to bed.

Lisa: Mom, I want to hear the sophisticated banter of witty adults.

Bart: Yeah, you can't have any fun in bed.

Homer: (chuckles) Son, when you're older, you'll know better.

*Homer daydreams*

Homer: Mmm. Oh baby. Mmm. Yeah.

 

[krae_man]

There's too many to mention, and everyone has already mentioned a ton, but one that comes to mind,

*Krusty holds sign that says Will Drop Pants for Food*

"But that guy's giving it away for free"

That's definitely my favorite.

 

[Maximo]

Not so much a joke but the whole Dr Zaius bit cracks me up every time.

can't believe i forgot about this, it's the best moment ever.

 

[Herr Schwarz]

I'll come back to it later for image formatting unless someone else wants to but.

Young Moe at water fountain.

Also Marge' Dads reaction when young marge sees him working as an air steward

"Don't look at meeeee!!!!"

 

[CanUKlehead]

Growing up in a religious household, even my dad gets a chuckle out of:

'And you remember...Matthew...21:17'
'And he went out of the city into Bethany and he lodged there?'
'Yeah! Think about it!

For sneaky funny, I always liked when Ned went crazy and he and the doctor were watching a video of him as a bratty kid. He was running around smacking other kids, going, 'I'm Dick Tracy, take that Prune Face! Now I'm Prune Face! Take that Dick Tracy! Now I'm Prune Tracy! Take that Dick--' then it cuts off. Blew my mind.

 

[wbsmcs]

Inner Moe: Moe, why you ah no talk with your accent anymore?

 

[eizarus]

Always had a soft spot for this one

 

[GRW810]

There are many more lesser-known gags that I love that I can't remember the exact wording of, but two things always stick in my mind:

1) Super Nintendo Chalmers

2) The lie detector machine exploding when Scully asks Homer if he understands.

 

[Schlocky]

 

[Dmax3901]

Yeah this or:

Grandma Simpson: [singing] "How many roads must a man walk down, before you can call him a man..."
Homer: Seven!
Lisa: No, Dad, it's a rhetorical question.
Homer: Rhetorical eh... Eight!
Lisa: Dad do you even know what rhetorical means?
Homer: Do I know what rhetorical means!?

 

[whitemex88]

Purple monkey dishwasher

 

[Omadahl]

Mr. Burns: Here comes the friend ship. *Nail falls off in beer* Well that's leprosy for you.

 

[PaulloDEC]

I mean, there's literally hundreds of moments I could pick for this, so I'll just go with whatever comes to mind first:

[Goodacre0081]

Burns: You there, fill it up with petroleum distillate, and re-vulcanize my tires, post-haste!

 

[Hazmat]

I mean, there's literally hundreds of moments I could pick for this, so I'll just go with whatever comes to mind first:

I've always loved from A Mulhouse Divided, when Kirk VanHouten is showing off his sad bachelor apartment to Homer:

Kirk: I sleep in a racing car, do you?
Homer: I sleep in a big bed with my wife.
Kirk: Oh...yeah...

 

[Frimaire]

Probably not my favourite, but one that comes to mind.
"The following tale of is true, and by true, I mean false. They're all lies. But they're entertaining lies, and in the end, isn't that the real truth? The answer is no."
Also
"I have a crazy friend who says it's wrong to eat meat. Is he crazy?"
"Nooo, just ignorant, you see your crazy friend never heard of the food chain!"

 

[Hobbestetrician]

Lisa: I feel like I'm gonna die, Bart.
Bart: We're all gonna die, Lis.
Lisa: I meant soon.
Bart: So did I...

[What did he mean by this?]

First one that came to mind

 

[CommandThrower]

My all time favorite is the Rock Bottom bit where Homer is interviewed, just because it's so blatantly scripted and fake, yet it passes as real television in Springfield.

 

[Rockin' Ranger]

2) The lie detector machine exploding when Scully asks Homer if he understands.

Or Moe's lie detector test.


"Would you unhook this already? I don't deserve this kind of shabby treatment."
BZZT!

 

[Goodacre0081]

just remembered another

 

[Hazmat]

Or Moe's lie detector test.


"Would you unhook this already? I don't deserve this kind of shabby treatment."
BZZT!

"...Sears catalogue."
*ding*

Genius.

 

[StylusX]

Bart: [German accent] Hey mouse...say cheese.
[snaps picture; an Itchy robot collapses]
With a dry, cool wit like that, I could be an action hero.
[the family snaps more photos]
[Homer emerges from a pile of robots]
Homer: Die, bad robots, die! [laughs] With a dry, cool wit like that, I could be an action hero.

 

[Log4Girlz]

*gun cocking sound* I said hop in

 

[chicko1983]

Any involving Skinner, homer making fun milhouse, and wiggum

 

[Milly Osworth]

Old Simpsons is just brilliant.

Are there any recent seasons worth watching?

 

[balohna]

Smithers, I'm home!

What? Already?

YES.

(Canned Laugh Track)

I also like this one.

One of my other favourites is Nelson telling Bart his epidermis is showing, causing him to fall, then as Bart is falling he's incorrectly explaining what epidermis means. Then "ha ha" at Bart for falling, followed by "I said ha ha" after Milhouse tells him Bart is really hurt.

 

[PhantomZone]

There's not just one there's so many, whether it's a visual gag or a zippy one liner.

I use everythings coming up "Milhouse" regularly, with side dishes of "purple monkey dishwasher" when I want to be vague .

 

[Zatoth]

Not so much a joke but the whole Dr Zaius bit cracks me up every time.

Agent: Have you heard about the Planet of the Apes?
Troy: The movie or the planet?

 

[13randO]

I love the TV news stories on the show, but the one about the outhouse killed me. It's definitely one of my favourites.

 

[Spaced Harrier]

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Homer: “That’s it! You people have stood in my way long enough. I’m going to clown college!”
Bart: “Well I don’t think any of us expected him to say that.”


Cracks me up everytime.

 

[oti]

I could only find it in Italian for some reason.

[DonShula]

Homer: Who are you?
Ghost: The ghost of Cesar Chavez.
Homer: Then why do you look like Cesar Romero?
Ghost: Because you don't know what Cesar Chavez looks like.

Never, Marge. Never. I can't live the button-down life like you. I want it all: the terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, the creamy middles. Sure, I might offend a few of the bluenoses with my cocky stride and musky odors - oh, I'll never be the darling of the so-called "City Fathers" who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards, and talk about "What's to be done with this Homer Simpson?"

 

[GoutPatrol]

No one must know I dropped them in the toilet. Not I. The man who drafted the Paris Peace Accords.

 

[biteren]

i love when bart turns homer into a sideshow atraction in the sinking house episode

Animal Specialist: She must think you are after her eggs.
Krusty: I only ate one!

 

[StayDead]

Chief Wiggum: Now Sideshow Bob can't get in without me knowing. And once a man is in your home, anything you do to him is nice and [winks] legal.
Homer: Is that so? [yells out kitchen window] Oh, Flanders? Won't you join me in my kitchen? [Ned turns off the hose. Homer stands on the wall next to the kitchen arch, preparing to strike Flanders] Heh-heh-heh-heh...
Chief Wiggum: Uh, it doesn't work when you invite 'em.
Ned: Hidilly-hey!
Homer: Go home.
Ned: Toodledy-do!

Also Fat Tony vs the Yakuza. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeHflFNR4kQ

I'm seeing double, four Krusties!

 

[twinturbo2]

It's a visual gag, but it kills me every time I see it:

It took the longest time for me to understand this one. The censors were totally asleep at the wheel here.
