There’s also the meta jokes in there, slid in by the writers, like that time an excited Lisa tells Bart about the Itchy and Scratchy Movie: ‘You wouldn’t believe the celebrities who did cameos! Dustin Hoffman, Michael Jackson… Of course, they didn’t use their real names, but you could tell it was them.’

Which, was formerly Chuck’s.īut they go even deeper than a double meaning.ĭid you know there is a whole McBain movie made up of every little short you see in the series? Cut up action hero Rainier Wolfcastle’s (based on Arnold Schwarzenegger) film moments and you’ve got a functioning plotline. The nuances in the humour of the show means that it not only appeals to children to get the face value of the gags, but parents and adults who can giggle at the naught nature of 90% of these jokes. Spoiler alert: didn’t work because Morty cleaned the test tubes with his own DNA. In recent seasons, the gag has even riffed on Rick And Morty, with a brilliant crossover that saw Rick accidentally kill the Simpsons and go on a mission to reinstate them. To be fair, the couch gags of the show – as in, the final part of the opening credits which can be as long or short, extravagant or plain as the time will allow – may be the one part of the show that continued to improve over time and become a beast unto itself.įrom whatever Bart was scrawling on the chalkboard as he skakes out of detention, to what the family will do once they land on the lounge, anything goes and the advances in animation mean it’s only got better.
#FAMOUS BARNEY SIMPSONS QUOTES TV#
What about ‘no TV and no beer make homer something something…’?įor Pete’s sake, the show even invented words, from Homer’s frustrated ‘D’oh!’ (added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2001) to the made-up (but now existing) words like ‘Cromulent’ and ‘Embiggen’ which found a home on. The quotesįrom ‘feels like I’m wearing nothing at all, nothing at all, nothing at all’ to ‘but my mum says I’m cool’ the show remains quotable in everyday conversation. What about the mention of the Aurora Borealis? You know, at this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localised entirely in your kitchen.
Homer’s iconic ‘disappearing into bushes’ gif, which you’ve definitely used, originated in the 1994 episode Homer Loves Flanders, from season five, yet continues to be a staple in conversation. These days you can use a gif or meme from The Simpsons in every day text speak and have it illustrate just how you’re feeling with the utmost of precision. It all went down in the episode Bart to the Future, when Lisa becomes president after the Apprentice star and mentions how he ruined the economy. Perhaps the most famous of all the Simpsons’ ‘predictions’ was Donald Trump’s ascension to, and then booting from, the White House (the latter part still to come to fruition…). Over its 30 seasons, there really is a lot this show has prophesied.įrom Lady Gaga performing at the Super Bowl (complete with stadium jump and flying around on wires) to the discovery of the Higgs Boson particle, we wouldn’t be all that surprised if the show had a time travel machine and caught a glimpse of the future before heading back to the writer’s room and getting to work. Or at least baffled countless viewers over the years. This is something that is most often cited in what makes The Simpsons such a special show.
You could say, this show is a part of us all, a part of us all, a part of us all.
