It works on so many levels!

Just like my `footbag profile survey` thread, I once again have trouble posting a response to my own thread, since my questions are so hard.

Ebo: I stole my avatar off of a fighting game discussion board. If you ever played the SNK fighting game `King of Fighters` or Capcom vs. SNK (2) you would see that my avatar is Homer wearing the costume of Iori Yagami. He`s even doing the same fighting stance!

A cookie to whoever can name all the `sideshows` Krusty has had, without cheating and looking at a website.

Trivia: at 99 worlds one of the things I was most impressed with, was the fact that Ryan Mulroney had virtually memorized every Simpsons episode up to that time.

Bob and Mel are the only ones with sideshow in their names i think without looking.

Then there's corporal punishment and umm, the big negro boxer from the krusty special... "it says here i'm meant to hit you over the head with this"..."i wouldn't."

'are you ok in there, SIDESHOW LUKE PERRY?'

wasnt marge actually a sideshow at one point? or at least she was referenced to be one at one point.

Ah, so many good episodes... Where to even begin?

Just one, for now: Bart sells his soul to Milhouse for 5 dollars. I think it could be a strong contender for a spot on the top five list.

"I am familiar with the works of Pablo Neruda." - Bart Simpson.
I love that quote because its really something that Bart has no business saying. Those words should never have come out of his mouth at all. And the tone is so wonderfully dismissive. And when Lisa casually tortures and humiliates Homer merely to test the status of Barts soul... thats pretty funny.

Just one more. Can't resist. Lisa becomes a vegitarian. "Dad, those all come from the same animal!" "Oh, sure, Lisa, some wonderful, magical animal..." "You don't make friends with salad!" "Its still good, its still good..." "Back then I was known as the fifth Beatle." "What happens if someone wants to buy the non-alcoholic beer?" "You know, its never come up..."

Ah, once I get going, its hard to stop... Who Shot Mister Burns, part 2. "But when he went ahead with his plans to build his sun-blocker, he crossed that line between ever-day villany and Cartoonish Super-Villany."

The Hellfish Bonanza!

The fathers of all our favorite characters in the same unit in WWII.

"We'll all be rich! Rich as Nazis!" "Now they'll never save your brain, Hitler!" "Can't you go more than 5 seconds without humiliating yourself, Abraham?" "How long was that?" and finally, "Hey Fun-boys, get a room!"

Yeah let's turn this into a Simpsons quote thread

sorry Ken

Ok you guys guess wich episode this one is from...

Marge: But how shall the kids come home?
Homer: I don't know. The internet?

(I'm not 100% sure about the exact dialogue, but I'm 100% sure I love that episode!)

The strong arms of Ma:

There's a fight at the Moe's where the men attack at Marge. After the fight the bar is almost ruined. Moe get up and says:
"OK, there's only one way to get mine back", and then pours gasoline to the bar and sets it to fire.
(I can't remember was it Lenny or Carl says):
"But shouldn't you get an insurance first?" !!!

The episode where Simpsons go to Canada is funny too.
"I'm rich!!!!" Homer shouts when he gets hit by a car.

Just felt like rounding out my top-five list.

Sideshow Bob runs for Mayor of Springfield. Lisa and Bart as Woodward and Bernstein, and Smithers is Deep Throat. The Birch Barlow parody of Rush Limbugh, Dracula as a conservative power-broker, and of course a show-stealing performance by Kelsey Grammar as Sideshow Bob doing Jack Nicholson in "A Few Good Men":
"You can't handle the truth! No truth handlers, you! Bah, I deride your truth handling abilities!"

As for Max's quote, I don't know. Thats a hard one. How about another clue?

Basically I think after the 10th season they've gone downhill. The second
episode of season 16 is kinda lame. Same with most of the past 3
episodes. I think they've turned more to slapstick and jokes with less
depth in the past season, as if they're running out of steam but are
still trying to go full power. Of course there were good episodes (especially
the treehouse of horror episodes, even though the last one was not
as good as before. I still like them, but compared to excellent seasons
like the 7th for example, they're just not as intelligent anymore.

back on topic:
Has "Who shot Mr. Burns" been mentioned yet? King of the Hill?
Homer vs the 18th Amendment?

Oh and Homer the Great!!

"Who controls the British crown?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We do! We do."
