The Simpsons

After taking off the last month for the World Series and the Family Guy live-action special, The Simpsons returned last night with its episode, "The Devil Wears Nada," which was meant to coincide with Marge Simpson's Playboy spread.

During the episode, Marge posed for a calendar and ended up in much more provactive pictures than she thought.  However, the photos got her all the attention from the town, but none from Homer.

That's because Homer was busy following Carl around as his new assistant.  All in all it made for some great Simpsons quotes.  Here are some of our favorites from the episode:

Lenny: I'm gonna miss Ted, he was a good supervisor
Carl: Definitely hands off. He didn't mind if we punched out late
Homer: And he didn't mind that we made a few changes to the soda machine...mmm... beer | permalink

Bart: Stop dragging me! When I get older I'm gonna drag you around and buy you clothes.
Marge: Oh, that's wonderful! | permalink

Marge: You two are going out? I thought I told you the Flanderers were coming over for dinner.
Lisa: I'm having a tea party at Jamie's.
Bart: And I'm having a stink bomb party at the house next to Jamie's... no connection. | permalink

Rod: We thought you were gonna die.
Tod: And then Uncle Kevin would have to raise us.
Rod: And his funny friend, David.
Ned Flanders: Oh I'd put rocks in your pocket and walk you out to sea for before I'd let that happen. | permalink

Ned: I'm not thinking straight, why did I have that wine cooler last month? | permalink

Homer [about Marge and Ned having an affair]: My wife and my worst friend. Could it be? | permalink

Fresh off The Simpsons’ Treehouse of Horror 20th Anniversary episode, producer Al Jean has announced a slew of guest stars set to appear over the rest of season 21.

Among other big names, fans of the iconic sitcom can look forward to appearances by:

• Neve Campbell
• Jonah Hill
• Sacha Baron Cohen
• Eddie Izzard
• Chris Martin

Said Jean, to TV Guide Magazine, of Hill's guest-starring role:

“Jonah appears in an episode about a kid who’s the Bart Simpson of the elementary school ten years ago. Now he lives with his mother, he’s really pathetic and he’s still playing pranks."

As you look forward to this episode and these cameos, catch up on your favorite The Simpsons quotes now!

Last night we were treated to the annual Halloween special of The Simpsons which is now up to the "Treehouse of Horror XX."  Yeah, nothing makes us feel older than seeing two XX's after that title.

Luckily, The Simpsons proved that twenty Halloween specials were not too many and the episode proved to be a fantastic one.  The episode was broken into three stories: "Dial 'M' for Murder," "Don't Have a Cow, Mankind," and "The Musical."

Our personal favorite was the second, in which the town of Springfield became zombies and the Simpsons had to protect Bart when they found out he was the cure.  Great episode and some great Simpsons quotes.

Here's just some of our favorites from the episode:

Homer Simpson: Lighten up ladies, it's not cheating if you're wearing a costume | permalink

Principal Skinner: Lisa Simpson in detention? My horoscope told me I'd see something interesting today, but I thought that'd be the horoscope itself | permalink

Lisa: Apu, how did you survie?
Apu: Well, as a vegetarian, I did not consume any tainted meat and as a convenience store owner, I am armed to the teeth
| permalink

Marge: I can't kill her, she's Lisa's god mother
Apu: You can apologize in hell
Marge: I guess I could! | permalink

Marge: What kind of civilized people eat the body and blood of their savior?
[camera pans to Reverend Lovejoy...]
| permalink

Kang: This is the best musical I've sene in lightyears
Kodos: Light years measure distance, not time! | permalink

Homer: Marge, can you still love a man that's half beer?
Marge: I always have | permalink

Last night The Simpsons took on the popular sport known as MMA and even had Chuck Liddell guest star.  The episode, entitled, "The Great Wife Hope" saw the entire male population of Springfield becoming obsessed with the sport.

Always ready to be a kill joy, Marge and her friends began to petition the sport and soon Marge found herself in the ring going up against the creator of the sport.  Yeah, makes sense to us.

While the plotline was a little out there, the episode did lead to some of the following of The Simpsons quotes:

Groundskeeper Willie: Come on ya pansies, I've seen fiercer fights in parliament
Sideshow Mel: What is this, prime minister's question time? | permalink

Homer [to Bart]: I know we saw awesome beatdowns tonight, but remember don't try this at home. Do it at the school yard, someplace where if you get hurt, we can sue. And not just them, but the school, the county, the state and that jackass Joe Biden | permalink

Marge: Ultimate makes everything worse
Otto: Not frisbee!
Marge: Otto, don't you have a sack to hackey? | permalink

Ticket Scalper: I am not a scalper, I'm just a dude whose 200 friends did not show up | permalink

Homer [to Marge]: Of all the crazy things I've ever done, this is the craziest and you're doing it! | permalink

Lisa: This goes against every feminist bone in my body, but dad, can't you control your woman? | permalink

Marge [about Homer]: Is he okay?
Akira: He feels no pain. Oh I'm sorry, my English is not so good. I meant to say he feels only pain | permalink

On last night's episode of The Simpsons, Bart and his class got annoyed when Mrs. Krabappel stole their cell phones.  So what's the natural solution?  Get her drunk, of course!

When Bart slipped a little alcohol in her morning coffee, he accidentally got her fired.  Bart tried to get Mrs. K back on the right track using a self help book, The Answer.

After that failed, Bart decided to try honesty with Principal Skinner, but in the end, it took the cool substitute teacher, Mr. Vaughn, being a drunk himself to get her job back.  That's pretty much "Bart Gets a Z" in a nutshell.

Of course, along the way we were treated some of the best of The Simpsons quotes we've heard in awhile.  Here's some of our favorites:

Nelson [about the school's ancient computer]: My stroked out grandfather has more memory that that thing
Milhouse: How's he doing?
Nelson: Better, thanks | permalink

Lisa: I thought you were studying the Lincoln-Douglas debates?
Bart: You mean the L-man, D-dawg flame wars? | permalink

Marge: I'm worried about Mrs Krabappel
Bart: No worries, I heard in the old four square court she was doing great
Lisa: No one even plays four square anymore, they just gossip | permalink

Bart: Mrs K, you have to get out of here. When was the last time you washed your hair?
Edna Krabapple: Hmm, two weeks ago...
Bart: Well, that's better than me, but still, you gotta get out
| permalink

Bart: I'm a Simpson, and a Simpson never gets up unless he's tried at least one easy thing | permalink

How do you celebrate your ridiculously long lasting show with its twenty first season premiere?  You let Superbad wrtiers Seth Rogen and Even Goldberg pen the episode, of course!

In "Homer The Whopper," Comic Book Guy's comic, Everyman, was turned into a movie and Homer was cast as the lead role.  To make sure audiences could related to him as a super hero, the studio hired Lyle McCarthy (voiced by Seth Rogen) to whip him into shape.

So was Homer able to stay ripped for the movie?  Of course not.  What he was able to do was provide us with some fantastic The Simpsons quotes.  Here's some of our favorites from the episode:

Comic Book Guy: I played hardball with hollywood, the closest i will ever come to playing a sport in my life | permalink

Comic Book Guy: You are acceptable!
Homer: Great, would you like to see me naked?
Studio Exec: Oh, there's no nudity in this movie
Homer: What movie?
| permalink

Studio Exec: Homer, we have a problem
Homer: Fine, I'll give back the Oscars i stole from the lobby. Do you want back the golden globe?
Studio Lady: Noo, nooo | permalink

Lyle McCarthy: I'm going to teach you healthy alternatives to eating. We don't have much time, so we'll do it to a montage to the song, "Eye of the Tiger"
Homer: Aww, that song is a little on the nose. Can we do it to David Bowie's "Heroes?"
Lyle: Eh, it's your montage | permalink

Lisa: There were a lot of holes in your story
Studio Exec: That's the problem when you have 17 writers, but don't worry, we have two fresh ones working on it
[cuts to Maggie and monkey banging at typewriters] | permalink

Studio Exec: I have a bad feeling about this movie. Our star's overweight, we're way over budget, and that grasshopper raptor we built seems to have developed a mind of its own
