-->'''Smithers:''' Uhmmm, you should probably just ignore that...

*** Homer giving possibly the greatest {{Goshdang It To Heck}} ever over Lisa's beach friends' "gift" to her. "Sweet merciful crap! My car!"
* This troper is constitutionally unable to walk through the canned vegetable aisle at the grocery store without saying "Ah, Del Monte! Enjoy them, old man, for they will be your last!"



* This might be controversial, but this troper would like to propose a crowning moment for ''TheSimpsons'' in the episode 'Grade School Confidential':
-->'''Maude Flanders:''' ''"We're talking about S-E-X! In front of the C-H-I-L-D-R-E-N!"''
-->'''Krusty:''' ''"Sex Cauldron?! I thought they closed that place down!"''
** In the Latin American dub, it's "children" instead of "cauldron", making Krusty not only dumb but also, possibly, a pedophile; it's still hilarious but slightly creepier.
* '''Chief Wiggum:''' I'll just type it up on my invisible typewriter...



* Whatever happened to Apu and Sanjay's 'Nude-E-Mart' anyway?
* '''Homer''': (''while riding down the street on a library trolley'') Must kill Moe...wheee! Must kill Moe... wheee!

* Homer's hillarious brawl with the pilot Fantastic Dan in the valentines day episode.
-->'''Fantastic Dan:''' I have to deliver a message. It's the skywriters' code!
-->'''Homer:''' I am so sick of that damn code!
* '''Frink:''' I am detecting a gigantic amphibious life-form, it's 80 meters long and it's heading this way. Oh good glayven it's on my shoe! It's a small frog. Just get off, just get off there. Stupid machine, oh wait a minute, this isn't the Monsterometer, it's the Frog-Exaggerator!
* Also:
-->'''Marge''': Come on Homer, Japan will be fun. You liked ''{{Rashomon}}''.
-->'''Homer''': That's not how ''I'' remember it.



* In one Christmas episode, the school tries to get money out of Mr. Burns with a hilariously {{Anvilicious}} play. Two shining moments:
-->'''Skinner:''' Who will eat the poisoned stew? It could be anyone...it could even be Mr. Burns!"
-->'''Mr. Burns:''' This play ''really'' speaks to me!
** -->'''Ralph:''' Hello, I'm Dr. Stupid! I'm going to remove your liver bone! ''(chops the head off a Mr. Burns dummy with a saw)'' Oops, you're dead!
-->'''Mr. Burns:''' ''(darkly)'' I never ''did'' like that Dr. Stupid...



* Homer is injured in a prison rodeo, and ends up in their infirmary. One of the inmates is an incredible artist, and has a painting of a unicorn in space, hanging on the wall.
-->'''Warden:''' A unicorn in space; what's it breathin'?!
-->'''Homer:''' Air?
-->'''Warden:''' Ain't no air in space!
-->'''Homer:''' There's an [[IncrediblyLamePun air n' space]] ''museum''!



* How about the time Homer is about to be gunned down by Mafia thugs, and they're suddenly shot. Cue the arrival of Chief Wiggum...but what's this? Wiggum isn't the shooter. As they wonder who shot the Mafia guys, cue Maggie sitting in her crib upstairs next to the window, with a gun. Then Homer and Marge come upstairs and she hides the gun under her pillow!
--> Homer: Aw, she's probably dreaming of the time she shot Mr. Burns.

* The ending to ''Bart the Daredevil''. Homer has just fallen down Springfield Gorge, hits his head repeatedly on the way up and put onto on a stretcher on an ambulance. Next second, the ambulance hits a tree, Homer rolls out of the ambulance and falls back down the gorge. It is an iconic moment in Simpsons' history, and one of the funniest moments in their history.
