:lol That's from Krusty Gets Kancelled, right?

 

[markot]

and end only one episode too late?

Bleh, the last two seasons were kinda bleh. The finale wasnt great, it was good though...

Yes it is.

It works on so many levels.

These pics remind me of when Lisa was anti-tobacco.

She even forfeited her crown when Laramie asked her to sell out her principles and help them market cigarettes to Springfield's youth.

That was very mature of her.

Next, here's a framegrab from Season 19...

 

[DeSo]

wtf

 

[Thunder Monkey]

Shit sucks soooo bad now.

But God those early seasons were some damn good TV.

Here's a great post from a very bitter (but also excellent) Simpsons blog, which pretty much sums up the thread title with one episode:

Dead Homer Society - Homer Goes to College

 

[PetriP-TNT]

I haven't seen all the newest episodes but I do think that after the show went HD, the stories (at least the first few I have seen) got a lot better compared to season 19 etc. They had a sort of old school feel to them

For me, the show hit rock bottom at season 14, and it's been a slow climb out of that hole ever since. 21 was somewhere between 10 and 11 for me.

Dead Homer Society - Homer Goes to College

Homer goes to College has always looked especially weird to me. The scene in particular where the family are sitting at the kitchen table ("start diggin some nerd holes") always strikes me as incredibly off looking every time I see the episode. Mind you, I prefer this 'off' style to the super bland new style, but this is really the only episode where I look at the animation and think that something isn't right.

HA! HE DROPPED HIS NOTES!

They make a joke in the commentary during that scene about the way the animation is. Apparently Matt Groening didn't like that scene :lol

:lol

You can find tons of these in the first few seasons. The animators had this annoying habit of making their heads turn and their faces follow. It looked weird even then.

Oh man, I wanted to do that every time I finished an exam at school :lol

Although that's on a bit newer season (11), I think that's pretty funny. Also, I liked the part were the restaurant guys reunite and plan how to kill Homer (from snpp):

Man: Come on, you're going to kill him with a pastry?
I've seen this man eat a bowl of change!

Chef: This éclair is over one million calories. Twenty-five
pounds of butter per square inch. Covered with chocolate
so dark that light cannot escape its surface. [The other
restaurateurs lunge for the savoury picture] No, no, no!
This is just a picture. But Homer Simpson will find the
real thing both delicious and deadly.

Akira: Ah, yes, Death by Chocolate.

Chef: ... and poison, I'll stick in some poison.

:lol

I couldn't resist :lol

Oh man, I've tried that so many times (out of the exam room) and failed miserably :lol

If only this sugar was as sweet as you sir.

... by the time I got to the phone, my discovery had already been reported by Principal Kahoutek. I got back at him, though... him and that little boy of his.

 

[elrechazado]

can anyone post the pic of homer in his purple bowling jacket as he looks back sadly over his shoulder while walking out of the bowling alley (on his way back to the power plant)?

One of my favorite visually striking simpsons moments ever.

I love how in the first 2 pics, Marge is very clearly showing and Homer doesn't know till Marge tells him

 

[AniHawk]

The first pic is a continuity error. They were still living with the Bouviers when Bart was born, and Homer had found out from Dr. Hibbert.

EDIT: Actually, both are. The second pic is wrong because Marge told Homer while they were living in the apartment together.

 

[BigAT]

Moe: [sly] Hey, Homer! Way to get Marge pregnant.
Homer: This is getting very abstract, but thank you, I do enjoy working at the bowling alley.

[human5892]

This is probably as good a place to ask as any:

In Last Exit To Springfield, Smithers and Burns decide that they can run the whole nuclear plant by themselves. What follows is a montage that shows them merrily giving it a try (until the hired robot workers turn on them).

During this montage, what song is playing? Is it an original composition, or is it a full recorded piece that I can buy somewhere?

 

[Henchmen21]

Moe: [sly] Hey, Homer! Way to get Marge pregnant.
Homer: This is getting very abstract, but thank you, I do enjoy working at the bowling alley.

Maude: By the way, congratulations on your new job, Homer.
Homer: New job? ...Marge is pregnant?! [pulls hair out] Noooooo!

 

[AC!D]

During this montage, what song is playing? Is it an original composition, or is it a full recorded piece that I can buy somewhere?

Could be my memory playing tricks but I'm pretty sure it's the same as the 'Land of Chocolate' music from another episode:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hguHlfrYAyE

It seems to fit.

I still like the sound effect of Homer polishing his forehead in the ball polisher. *vwoow*

If it's not the same, it's definitely close -- thanks. And the comments seem to suggest that the song is an original piece for the show.

I just wanted to say, great Jason avatar. Home Movies is up there with my favorite shows ever

Homer, Did you polish your head in the shine-o ball-o?

:lol :lol

Thanks for this. Fantastic stuff.

 

[Souldriver]

Since it fits so perfectly with my normal "happy Burns" avatar, I decided to use an image of Burns from the Dead Homer Society link for a little while. Maybe I'll rotate between the two. Both screens from him in his office making a ridiculous face. :lol

 

[Red Blaster]

Remember the time Santa's Little Helper ate my goldfish, and you lied and said I never had any goldfish? Well, why did I have the bowl, Bart? Why did I have the bowl?

 

[Marvie_3]

I think my favorite sound effect in the whole series is when Marge gets her hair chopped off by Burns' helicopter. I don't know why but I laugh my ass off every time. :lol

 

[offshore]

Troy McClure: Now, over the next six hours, I'll be taking you through the dos and do not dos of foundation repair. Ready?

Homer: Ready!

Troy McClure: Now, do you have extruded polyvinyl foam insulation?

Homer: No.

Troy McClure: Good!

Could already be posted, so sorry. I'm very new to this thread.

that hat :lol

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

That hat is awesome! Makes him look like an over-enthusiastic child :lol

Not as good as his conversation hat mind you

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Took a bunch from that ep:

Seeing Homer in that long shot of the power plant making the walk of shame breaks my heart every time. Then the jacket burning off his back pisses me right off.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

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.

OH I'D LOVE TO BE AN OSCAR MEYER WEINER
