same, but that second line about mr. burns is pretty funny tbh

Doh

Why you little

etc

"you tried and failed, the lesson is never try"

Homer: Every time I learn something new, a little of the old gets pushed out of my brain. Remember that time I took that wine making course and forgot how to drive?

Homer no function beer well without

There's loads:

"I am so smart, SMRT I mean SMART"

"English side ruined. Must use French instructions. Le grille, what the hell is that?!"

After getting the sack from a security guard job, Homer was accused of being asleep, and was not happy with the accusation.
"I wasn't asleep, I was drunk"

“What's the point of going out? We're just gonna wind up back here anyway.”

“I’ve learned that life is one crushing defeat after another until you just wish Flanders was dead.”

“Oh yeah, what are you gonna do? Release the dogs? Or the bees? Or the dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark, they shoot bees at you?”

“Operator! Give me the number for 911!”

“I’ve gone back in time to when dinosaurs weren’t just confined to zoos.”

“I’m like that guy who single-handedly built the rocket & flew to the moon. What was his name? Apollo Creed?”

“It's not easy to juggle a pregnant wife and a troubled child, but somehow I managed to fit in eight hours of TV a day.”

When he's caught in a fire and he tries to recite a rhyme about what to do:

When the fire starts to burn,
There's a lesson you must learn,
Something, something, then you see,
You'll avoid catastrophe!

<pause>

D'oh!

“Operator! Give me the number for 911!”

So much of it was so very obvious, but so very funny. For me, it was the closest that the Americans ever got to appreciating or mimicking the best of Morecambe and Wise. As such, alone, it showed genius.

It also tangentially - and I think Groening only ever wanted to do it tangentially - provoked thought on a lot of varied human subjects, as well as variously using parody, irony, slapstick, puerile humour, black humour, farce, hyperbole, surrealism, situation, highbrow... in fact, pretty much every form of comedy every created, and near universally with success.

Find me another show that can match it for a combination of variety, originality, hilarity, accessibility, longevity and success, because I'd love to see one that gets even close.

I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to Speed around a city, keeping its Speed over fifty, and if its Speed dropped, it would explode. I think it was called, "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down”.

It’s like kissing a peanut.

If I had $10,000 I’d be a millionaire!

When he previously put an unconscious Marge in the driving seat after crashing a car while under the influence:

"But Marge, I swear, I did it out of love! Love of not being arrested!"

^Don't know why "previously" appeared in there
