The Simpsons Posted Mon Jul 31 13:32:14 BST 2000 by Ewar Woowar

There seem to be a few threads dedicated to favourite lines/quotes etc. Since it's obviously got the best one-liners of any show ever, shall we all quote The Simpsons for a bit?

I'll start.

"TRAMAPOLINE!"

Now son, you don't want to drink beer. That's for Daddys, and kids
withfake
IDs.
Marge, it takes two to lie. One to lie and one to listen.


You couldn't fool your mother on the foolingest day of your life if you
had
an electrified fooling machine.


Marge, don't discourage the boy! Weaselling out of things is important to
learn. It's what separates us from the animals! Except the weasel.


If you really want something in life you have to work for it. Now quiet,
they're about to announce the lottery numbers.


To alcohol! The cause of - and solution to - all of life's problems!


I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to speed around a city, keeping
its speed over 50, and if its speed changed, it would explode! I think it
was called, 'The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down.


I want to share something with you - the three sentences that will get you
through life. Number one, 'cover for me.' Number two, 'oh, good idea,
boss.'
Number three, 'it was like that when I got here.


Marge, you're as pretty as Princess Leia and as smart as Yoda.


Step aside everyone! Sensitive love letters are my speciality. 'Dear Baby,
Welcome to Dumpsville. Population: you.


Don't let Krusty's death get you down, boy. People die all the time. Just
like that. Why, you could wake up dead tomorrow. Well, good night.


Son, when you participate in sporting events, it's not whether you win or
lose: it's how drunk you get.


Lisa, if the Bible has taught us nothing else - and it hasn't it's that
girls should stick to girls' sports, such as hot oil wrestling and foxy
boxing and such and such.


Lisa, if you don't like your job you don't strike. You just go in every
day
and do it really half-assed. That's the American way.


Stealing! How could you? Haven't you learned anything from that guy who
gives those sermons at church? Captain whats-his-name?


We live in a society of laws. Why do you think I took you to all those
Police Academy movies? For fun? Well I didn't hear anybody laughin', did
you?


Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'sir' without adding, 'you're
making
a scene.

and

Troy McClure:(Film Credits)

".....The Presidents Head is Missing"

Of course, it's not just good one-liners in the Simpsons, but the *quickie* gags and references they fit in -

Kent Brockman Voiceover:.....and a man awakes from a coma after 25 years...
Man: Does Sonny & Cher still have that awful tv show?
Relative: No, she's a sucessful actress and he's a Republican governor.
Man: Goodbye then. (Pulls the plug and dies).
