My brother and I ALWAYS quote the Rory Calhoun line whenever we hear of someone called Calhoun. It just happened yesterday.

I only found two Itchy & Scratchy episodes to be funny.

The first was Itchy tying his tongue to the moon. The wild flailing around, hiding in the closet, and crunch of the house gets me every time.

The second was when Itchy pretended to be a baby. He stabs and kills Scratchy with a broken milk bottle. But the best part is that he steals his TV. :lol

I liked the one where Scratchy was finally going to get Itchy, and had him tied up and surrounded by bombs...but that may just be because of the ending with Krusty.

"WHOA! They'll never show that one again! Not in a million years!" :lol

The fact that they were just mindlessly violent and Bart and Lisa found them hilarious was the joke, but it sometimes set up other jokes, like Homer sweating profusely, gripping the sides of the couch in the one where he went to space.

The best Itchy and Scratchy by far is the one where it's black and white and Scratchy is being escorted into a jail or car or something, and Itchy comes out of nowhere and shoots him while somebody is like "Oh my god! He had a gun!":lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

Even better than that was Rod and Todd's reaction.

Homer: Start making sense or we'll put you in a home.
Grandpa: I'm already in a home!
Homer: Then we'll put you in the crooked home we saw on 60 minutes.
Grandpa: I'll be good.

Didn't see this one posted, may have missed it, either way its one of my favorites.

34o3kh0.png

Just as everyone is slowly about to munch in those delicious pretzels
(oh, the suspense!), the announcer reveals the winner's name of
today's giveaway. The 1997 Pontiac Astrowagon goes to the fan in seat
0001 -- C. Montgomery Burns. No one's happy about this but Mr. Burns
and Smithers, and Mr. Burns hops in his new car, which is pelted by
the pretzels thrown by the angry, booing crowd.

Announcer #1: And here come the pretzels!
Marge: Oh, no! No, don't do that! You're suppose to be
tasting them!
Announcer #2: Hall of Famer Whitey Ford now on the field pleading with
the crowd for... for some kind of sanity.
Announcer #1: Uh-oh, and a barrage of pretzels now knocking Whitey
unconscious.
Announcer #2: Wow. This is uh... This is a black day for baseball.

One of my favorite characters was Lionel Hutz

Judge: Mr. Hutz, are you aware you're not wearing any pants?
Lionel Hutz: Uh, your Honor, can I call for one of those bad trial thingys?
Judge: You mean a mistrial?
Lionel Hutz: Yeah ... that's why you're the judge, and I am the law ... talkin' ... guy.

:lol :lol

Hutz: Now Mr. Nahasapeemapetilon, if that is your real name.
Have you ever forgotten anything?
Apu: No. In fact I can recite pi to 40,000 places.
And the last digit is 1.
Homer: Mmm... pie.
Hutz: Well if you never forget anything. Tell me this. What color tie am I wearing? [turns around]
Apu: You are wearing a red and white club tie in a half-windsor knot.
Hutz: Oh, I am, am I? Is that what you think? Well if that's what you think, I have something to tell you [ugh]. Something which may shock and discredit you [ugh]. And that thing is as follows [as he finally undoes the whole tie]. I'm not wearing a tie at all. [jury gasps]
Apu: If I am wrong about that. Maybe I am wrong about Mrs. Simpson.
Hutz: No further questions. [Hutz raises his arm and the tie is sticking out of his sleeve]

:lol :lol :lol

Never cared for Family Guy, I try not to get pissy at those who do, I like my fair share of pure dumb humor in a few movies and shows but calling it better than Golden Age Simpsons is certainly an eye-brow raiser, to put it very mildly.

I really liked Seasons 1-10, for me it was fun until then, 9 and especially 10 developed some badddd trends, but it wasn't until the first episodes of S11 where I kinda just threw my hands up and stopped watching.

S2-8 though are the classics. Some of the best television ever made, period. Saying it was never good is utter bullshit, that's not even an opinion, that's fucking factually wrong. The writing during those seasons was absolutely golden, it's unreal how good it was.

I really liked the retro clips from "The Day Violence Died"
"Itchy and Scratchy Meet Fritz the Cat"

Scratchy is walking in some sort of "Bumtown", where he runs
across a female chicken, obviously practicing the oldest job of
all. "Hey, sister. Just give me a chance to get next to you." he
declares, just before he sees Itchy driving by. After getting out
of the car, Itchy grabs it and pours the gasoline on Scratchy,
then takes a puff of his cigarette and throws it on him. Leaving
Scratchy burning in flames, he drives away with Mrs. Chicken.
"Hey, my threads, baby!" Scratchy wails.

"Hey, my threads, baby!" is a quote I tried to use whenever applicable for a solid while.

Anything with early Moleman was superb. Listening to the origins and stories about the character on the DVD commentaries was really funny.

"There's a Gremlin on the side of the bus!"
*Otto looks to his side, sees Hans Moleman in his Gremlin*
"Hey, no problemo Bart dude, I'll get rid of it,"
*Otto proceeds to force Hans off the road. The Gremlin careens off the highway and out of control, where it runs out of momentum just before it would have slammed into a tree, but then catches on fire and explodes anyway*

Homer: Oh, here we are: [opens door] [lusty] the Utility Room.
[it's a real utility room with two cots]
Marge: This isn't very erotic. It's an actual utility room.
Homer: No, honey: it's a romantic fantasy. I imagine I'm the janitor
and you're...the janitor's wife, who has to live with me in the
utility room!

Well, Mr. Burns had done it.
The power plant had won it.
With Roger Clemens clucking
all the while.
Mike Scioscia's tragic illness
made us smile.
While Wade Boggs lay unconscious on
the barroom tile.

We're talkin'...
Softball.
From Maine to San Diego.
Talking'...
Softball.
Mattingly and Canseco.

Ken Griffey's grotesquely swollen jaw.
Steve Sax and his run-in with the law.
We're talkin' Homer...
Ozzie, and the Straw.

pretty much. the earlier episodes were so awesome. even now i pick up on stuff that i missed the first dozens of times.

i'm laughing as i type this, thinking of eps such as 'lisa the beauty queen' with the eyelash implants, 'turn your head and coiff', homer eating the vaseline; and this one :

Marge: Oh dear, it'll be a shame if that pretty dress got wet.
Lisa: I'd say the greater danger is her sceptre acting as a lighting rod.
Unless it's made out of plastic.
Bart: [intense flash of light from TV] Nope, metal.

I just got done watching three episodes from season six, and I'm still picking up new things. I'm so used to the normal jokes that I'm seeing things I usually wouldn't give any attention.
