| 11 | ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', the longest-running American primetime show in history, with its own fair share of [[MemeticMutation memetic goodness]]. Because the show has been such a LongRunner combined with being a FountainOfMemes it's not uncommon in the modern age for new memes to spontaneously appear out of obscure scenes from episodes that haven't been referenced in years. The popular Facebook group [[https://www.facebook.com/groups/shitpostingsimpsons/ Simpsons Shitposting]] is a treasure trove of these memes. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | ---- |
| 14 | '''Please add entries in the following format:''' |
| 15 | * The meme. [=[[labelnote:Explanation]]The explanation behind the meme if necessary (please try to both detail the meme's background and the context in which the meme is used).[[/labelnote]]=] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Like this.[[/labelnote]] |
| 16 | |
| 17 | ---- |
| 18 | * "My eyes! The goggles do nothing." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Commonly used by posters to indicate they've seen something [[{{Squick}} they really wish]] [[BrainBleach they hadn't]] (not too dissimilar to "do not want" from ''WebVideo/BackstrokeOfTheWest''), from season seven's "Radioactive Man".[[/labelnote]] It is sometimes rendered as a C++ function: |
| 19 | -->void the_goggles(){} // do nothing |
| 20 | * '''Worst. Meme. Ever.'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Comic Book Guy's most well-known catchphrase, "[[WorstWhateverEver Worst. [Noun]. Ever.]]" (usually [[PunctuatedForEmphasis punctuated that way]] on the Internet) has become a meme of epic proportions. The TV show even used it as one of its episode titles (appropriately "Worst Episode EVER", though it actually refers to a ''cardiac'' episode).[[/labelnote]] |
| 21 | * And Kent Brockman, for one, [[TheQuisling welcomes our new insect overlords]]. He'd like to remind them as a trusted TV personality, he can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves. [[labelnote:Explanation]]From the season five episode "Deep Space Homer", after Homer accidentally unleashes ants into the fuselage of the space shuttle, with an ant captured on the live television feed, scaring viewers on Earth because of its close proximity to the camera. Kent Brockman's dialogue is the origin of the "Overlords" meme, where people jokingly express their desire to sumbit to a higher authority or something controlling, which can be just about anything, from websites and companies to fictional characters.[[/labelnote]] |
| 22 | * Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Season eight episode "Mountain of Madness", where Homer tells his family that Mr. Burns is taking the plant on a "teamwork-building" retreat, and Bart responds with a speech about how he thinks "teamwork" and "sharing" are overrated. Homer seems to agree, but he thinks they have to go on the retreat anyway. It's frequently used as TheStinger in ''WebVideo/DarkSimpsons'' videos.[[/labelnote]] |
| 23 | * D'OH! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Homer's primary CharacterCatchphrase, though the scripts keep calling it "annoyed grunt". It's become one of the most recognized lines from the show and has been frequently used whenever someone experiences a misfortune of some sort.[[/labelnote]] |
| 24 | ** Mmm... tropes...[[labelnote:Explanation]]His secondary {{Catchphrase}}, usually to denote a pleasure/tastefulness for anything, ranging from food to people to concepts to something.[[/labelnote]] |
| 25 | * Hi-diddily ho, neighbor-ino![[labelnote:Explanation]]Ned Flanders' CharacterCatchphrase[[/labelnote]] |
| 26 | ** Lies make baby Jesus cry.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Said by Rod in "Homer Loves Flanders" when Ned lies to Homer that they're going to visit the kids' grandmother.[[/labelnote]] |
| 27 | ** Iron helps us play![[labelnote:Explanation]]Said in "Lisa's First Word".[[/labelnote]] |
| 28 | * EAT MY SHORTS! [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Bart's catchphrases, which gained newfound popularity thanks to the "eat pant" meme below.[[/labelnote]] |
| 29 | ** Don't have a cow, man! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another one of Bart's catchphrases.[[/labelnote]] |
| 30 | ** Aye carumba! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Yet another one of Bart's catchphrases; like the ones above, it's heavily associated with him, and tends to be repeated in reference to him.[[/labelnote]] |
| 31 | ** Strangely enough, while all of the above are Bart's {{Character Catchphrase}}s, he has only said "[[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Cowabunga!]]" twice in the entire series, [[NeverLiveItDown yet that is still associated with him]]. Lampshaded when Bart complains when Lisa uses it. Marge points out that Bart hasn't said it in four years. |
| 32 | ** [[YouNoTakeCandle eat pant]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]A [[http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/233/994/fd3.jpg birthday cake]] decorated in an almost bootlegged image of Bart with a butchered version of his catch phrase "Eat my shorts!" paraphrased into "eat pant". The image has been very popular among social media sites and [[ShoddyKnockoffProduct bootleg merchandise]] enthusiasts.[[/labelnote]] |
| 33 | * "[[OverlyLongGag DENTAL PLAN!]]" "Lisa needs [[BracesOfOrthodonticOverkill braces]]!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the episode "Last Exit to Springfield" of season four, Homer plays back Lenny's "So long, dental plan!" cheer, along with Marge's warning that Lisa needs braces, over and over in his head until he realizes that if Burns takes away his dental plan, he'll have to front the money for an expensive set of braces to fix Lisa's teeth. It became a meme in several ways, including being repeated over and over again, having a post being interrupted by "dental plan", or remixing it on [=YouTube=].[[/labelnote]] |
| 34 | ** -DING DONG!- ''Who is it?'' '''Goons.''' ''Who?'' '''Hired Goons.''' ''Hired Goons?'' [[labelnote:Explanation]] later on in "Last Exit to Springfield", following Lisa receiving her new cheap braces, Homer answers the door to a pair of goons sent by Mr. Burns. The above exchange made between Homer and the goons serves as a FiveSecondForeshadowing gag of Homer mistaking the goons' description for an individual's name and surname before [[ThisIsGonnaSuck they yank him away by his collar so he can meet Mr Burns in person for some "negotiatons".]] He repeats the same query when talking to Burns about how "[He] Could have just called [him]."[[/labelnote]] |
| 35 | ** "It was the best of times, it was the '''''blurst''''' of times?!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]"Last Exit to Springfield": Mr. Burns shows Homer a room full of [[MonkeysOnATypewriter monkeys on typewriters]], and one of them botches the opening line to ''Literature/ATaleOfTwoCities''. As such, "blurst" is sometimes used as a humorous substitute to the word "worst".[[/labelnote]] |
| 36 | ** [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/now-do-classical-gas "Now do Classical Gas!"]][[labelnote:Explanation]]In the same episode, Lisa plays guitar and sings a protest song. Lenny then shows up and requests that she play "Classical Gas" by Mason Williams. The clip is frequently used in Simpsons shitpost videos such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1AZpW1k0-s this.]][[/labelnote]] |
| 37 | * *WHACK* Buhhhuuhhuhuhuh...[[labelnote:Explanation]]In season five episode "Cape Feare", after taking a ride on the underside of the Simpsons' car, Sideshow Bob walks into one [[RakeTake rake after another]], and mutters in annoyance.[[/labelnote]] |
| 38 | * Talking out of turn? That's a paddlin'. Looking out the window? That's a paddlin'. Posting memes on the internet? That's a paddlin'. Making "That's a paddlin'" an internet meme? Oh, you'd better believe that's a paddlin'. [[labelnote:Explanation]]From season six episode "The PTA Disbands": Jasper becomes a substitute teacher at Springfield Elementary School, and decides to lay down the law in his own way, [[AllCrimesAreEqual punishing anything and everything by paddling]]. It's since become a large snowclone where just about anything you can be punished by paddling, often used to mock the strictness of such rules.[[/labelnote]] |
| 39 | * [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_the_children_(politics) Won't somebody PLEASE]] ThinkOfTheChildren?[[labelnote:Explanation]]Helen Lovejoy's usual response to outlandish, political and/or religious situations. It's used, sometimes in an ironic sense, to show concern for children's well-being.[[/labelnote]] |
| 40 | * You don't win friends with sa-lad! You don't win friends with sa-lad! You don't win friends with sa-lad![[labelnote:Explanation]]From season seven episode "Lisa the Vegetarian", where Bart starts a conga line, followed by his parents, after Lisa protests about Homer's upcoming barbeque.[[/labelnote]] |
| 41 | * "Can't sleep... clown will eat me..." Glam rocker Music/AliceCooper actually turned this into one of his songs.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Bart's MadnessMantra in season four episode "Lisa's First Word", after Homer builds him a NightmareFuel-inducing bed made to portray Krusty the Klown. It's often used as a response to any clown that one finds creepy, including regular and {{Monster Clown}}s.[[/labelnote]] |
| 42 | * Feels like I'm wearing nothing at all! ''Nothing at all! Nothing at all! '''Nothing at all!'''''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Ned Flanders' exclamation of how well his new tight-fitting ski suit is in season eleven episode "Little Big Mom". It has since been used for other male characters wearing skin-tight outfits, especially if said outfit emphasizes their ass.[[/labelnote]] |
| 43 | ** StupidSexyFlanders![[labelnote:Explanation]]Homer's reaction in the same episode, upon forgetting his ski instructor's lessons and visualizing Ned in his ski suit, while shaking his rear end. In relation to the above, another character in Homer's place (can be any gender) will usually be exclaiming "Stupid sexy X!" in response.[[/labelnote]] |
| 44 | * [[TheDitz Me fail English? That's unpossible.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Ralph's response after being given notice from Principal Skinner that he's failing his English language studies from season six episode "Lisa on Ice".[[/labelnote]] |
| 45 | ** I bent my Wookie![[labelnote:Explanation]]Said in "Lisa's Rival" when he trips and drops his ''Franchise/StarWars'' diorama.[[/labelnote]] |
| 46 | ** My cat's breath smells like cat food! |
| 47 | * [[Creator/BillCosby Now my good man, what do you like to play?]][[labelnote:Explanation]]A clip of Bill Cosby (voiced by Creator/DanCastellaneta) interviewing a child on ''Series/KidsSayTheDarndestThings''. It became popular, especially on Website/{{YTMND}}, to remix the clip and combine it with other Cosby impersonations, not only from other ''Simpsons'' episodes, but also other animated sitcoms (such as ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''), to make Cosby seem weirdly obsessed with Pokémon, jazz, and bicycles.[[/labelnote]] |
| 48 | ** ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''. |
| 49 | ** POKEYMAN? Pokeyman, with the pokey and the man and the thing where the guy comes out of the thing and he wants to *random gibberish* AGGH AGGH AGGH! |
| 50 | ** You see? The kids, they listen to the rap music, which gives them the brain damage! With their hippin' and the hoppin' and the bippin' and the boppin', so they don't ''know'' what the ''jazz'' is all about! You see, jazz is like a Jell-O pudding pop -- no, actually it's more like Kodak film -- no! Actually, jazz is like the [[AnyoneRememberPogs New Coke — it'll be around forever!]] HEH HEH HEH. [[note]]These are lyrics from the most famous remix of the Cosby impersonations, which was mashed up with Music/DrDre's "What's the Difference?" and gained much infamy due to an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_Z_k50ltkY animated version]] on Website/{{Newgrounds}}.[[/note]] |
| 51 | * Milhouse is not a meme.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Starting when a user on Website/FourChan attempted to make Milhouse a ForcedMeme, the site's- reaction, and the ''reactions'' to the reaction, ended up catapulting the entire topic into memedom. Of course, the fact that Milhouse himself is not a meme but the denial of him becoming a meme ''is'' a meme has many fans of the show seeing it fitting, if only to help reinforce the titular character's ButtMonkey status.[[/labelnote]] |
| 52 | ** "Milhouse is not a meme" ''[[RecursiveReality is]]'' [[RecursiveReality a meme]]. |
| 53 | ** "'Milhouse is not a meme' is a meme" is not a me-'''[[LogicBomb AARGH]]''' |

Often used as a response to angry, pointless rants, or redrawn with characters from other media. It's also popular to replace the cloud with [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud Strife]], and to a lesser extent, Abe with Creator/GaryOldman.[[/labelnote]] |

Often applied to other dumb characters for comedic effect, or used to mock someone who is a KnowNothingKnowItAll.[[/labelnote]] |
| 149 | ** NEEEEERRRRRRDDDDD![[labelnote:Explanation]]From the same episode as the above, Homer takes TV college stereotypes too seriously. It is a common way to call someone a nerd.[[/labelnote]] |
| 150 | * ''"Two plus two is four! [[BrokenRecord Two plus two is four!]] [[RuleOfThree Two plus two is four!]]"'' [[labelnote:Explanation]] From the Episode ''Recap/TheSimpsonsS5E4Rosebud'' Said by a pastiche of Series/BarneyTheDinosaur on television. Homer, while watching with Maggie responds with a chuckle, and a comment that he can see how that show is so popular. This directly proceeds -[[AnythingButThat to Homer's Horror]]- an interuption on the TV by Mr. Burns demanding that Homer hands his his lost teddy Bobo over. It was popular for some time in animations on the Internet.[[/labelnote]] |
| 151 | * Bart hitting Homer across the back with a chair. [[labelnote:Explanation]] In "A Milhouse Divided", Bart hits Homer with a chair while he's in the tub. [[ComedicSociopathy You know, because it's a simple stuntman trick.]] This scene has been subject to many dubs and remixes.[[/labelnote]] |
| 152 | ** Kirk Van Houten "draws" dignity.[[labelnote:Explanation]] Earlier in the episode, during a game of ''TabletopGame/{{Pictionary}}'', Kirk draws an odd, oblong-shaped figure that he angrily tries to convince his soon-to-be ex-wife Luann is dignity. After losing the round [[LetsSeeYouDoBetter and challenging her to draw it herself,]] she does. [[TakeOurWordForIt While we never see the image, the other party guests are impressed, with Dr. Hibbert even claiming that it's "worthy of Webster's".]][[/labelnote]] |
| 153 | * Dad, what are you doing down there? |
| 154 | ** Washing my fat guy hat, honey! |
| 155 | * I know you can read my posts, Troper. Just a little reminder: if I found out you cut class, your ass is mine. Yes, you heard me. I '''think''' words I would never say.[[labelnote:Explanation]]"The Boy Who Knew Too Much": Principal Skinner telepathically threatens Bart with detention when he sees him at Freddie Quimby's trial.[[/labelnote]] |
| 156 | ** I know you can read my posts, Troper. Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Same episode: Homer amuses himself by quoting a commercial for Meow Mix cat food.[[/labelnote]] |
| 157 | * ''Le Grille''? ''What the hell is that?!''[[labelnote:Explanation]]In the episode "Mom and Pop Art", when Homer tries to build a barbecue grill despite having ruined the English instructions, he tries to use the French instructions [[BookDumb and exclaims this line]].[[/labelnote]] |
| 158 | ** Ah, that's one fine looking barbecue pit. WHY DOESN'T MINE LOOK LIKE THAT?![[labelnote:Explanation]]Homer looks in satisfaction at his completed grill, [[BaitAndSwitch only for it to turn out that he was holding up the box]] and reveals the giant mess he actually assembled. Several edits exist in which the image on the box and the completed grill are replaced with two similar works to mock the one seen as inferior by the editor, especially if Homer's grill is being used to represent something seen as derivative of the compared work.[[/labelnote]] |
| 159 | ** Why must life be so hard?! Why must I fail at every attempt at masonry?![[labelnote:Explanation]]Homer complaining about the awful results of his misassembled barbecue grill, and highly-quotable.[[/labelnote]] |
| 160 | * [[ImMelting NOW HOW 'BOUT A HUG?!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Season 4's "Brother from the Same Planet": Homer forgets to pick up Bart. While in the car, Homer tries to make up, but Bart makes an ImagineSpot of Homer's face melting à la ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'' quoting said line. One of the most creepy scenes in the show and heavily associated with the infamous ''Fanfic/DeadBart'' creepypasta.[[/labelnote]] |
| 161 | ** Trab pu kcip, Trab pu kicp [[labelnote:Explanation]]From the same episode, Bart tries telepathy on Milhouse to convince someone to pick him up. Cue Milhouse writing "Pick up Bart" backwards on the wall reminiscent of Film/TheShining[[/labelnote]] |
| 162 | * '' '''TESTING!!!!!!''' '' [[labelnote:Explanation]] from the episode "The Secret War of Lisa Simpson" where during a school trip to Springfield police station, Bart -while experimenting with the police station megaphones- decides to line up the entire supply of megaphones all in a single line before saying the above word; with far reaching [[GlassShatteringSound and disastrous results.]] It's common to see remixes of the scene where "Testing" is replaced with another phrase or even part of a song, like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzrkmy9hEqM this variant]] using "All Star" by Music/SmashMouth. [[/labelnote]] |
| 163 | * MISUTAA SUPAAKORU! [[labelnote:Explanation]]In "In Marge We Trust", Mr. Sparkle was a Japanese dishwashing detergent mascot that looked suspiciously like Homer Simpson.[[/labelnote]] |
| 164 | * 27! [[labelnote:Explanation]]In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS17E19GirlsJustWantToHaveSums Girls Just Want To Have Sums]]", an ImagineSpot gives Lisa good advice from the greater-than sign, the infinity symbol, and the number twenty-seven.[[/labelnote]] |
| 165 | * KWYJIBO: A dumb, fat, balding North American ape with no chin. (And a short temper!) [[labelnote:Explanation]]Bart tries to [[ScrabbleBabble cheat at Scrabble]] in "Bart the Genius" ({{Kwyjibo}} is in fact ScrabbleBabble's [[Administrivia/RenamedTropes former name]]). "Kwyjibo" has since become the name for a few things, including a mine in Canada, and the Melissa computer virus.[[/labelnote]] |
| 166 | * No TV and no beer make Homer something something.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Homer's MadnessMantra in the first segment (a parody of ''Film/TheShining'') of "Treehouse of Horror V". Often comes up an alternative to "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy", whenever a character goes insane for either banal or comedic reasons.[[/labelnote]] |
| 167 | ** "Go crazy?" "DON'T MIND IF I DO!!!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]When Marge says the missing part of the phrase Homer's thinking of, Homer proceeds to literally go crazy. The sounds of Homer going crazy have been used in other videos to depict other characters doing the same, namely in ''VideoGame/GarrysMod''/SFM videos and other machinimas.[[/labelnote]] |
| 168 | ** "Scaredy cat!" ''(sees his reflection)'' "AAAH!!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the same sequence, Homer looks at his reflection in a mirror and screams. Said scream has often been used to replace other character's screams in videos. It's also common to edit the scene so Homer is screaming at something else.[[/labelnote]] |
| 169 | * "Have Music/{{The Rolling Stones|Band}} killed." [[labelnote:Explanation]]"Rosebud": Mr. Burns objects to an insulting performance by Music/TheRamones. Used any time a band ''other'' than the Rolling Stones disappoints the speaker.[[/labelnote]] |
| 170 | * I'm a singin' hobo, not a stabbin' hobo... |
| 171 | ** Nothing beats the hobo life, stabbin' folks with with my hobo kniiiiife |
| 172 | * [[BlandNameProduct "Mapple" and "[=MyPod=]"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The equivalents of Apple and [=iPods=] in "MyPods and Boomsticks", used in an ironic sense.[[/labelnote]] |
| 173 | * A .gif file of Homer slowly backing into his hedge (from "Homer Loves Flanders") has become a popular reaction image for "no, just... no" or "oh god what" moments. |
| 174 | * From the same episode, an image of Homer smiling in Ned Flanders' car while everyone else glares at him is used for situations where one person negatively impacts everyone present but themselves. [[note]]For example, if someone takes their family to a restaurant that only serves a cuisine that one person likes.[[/note]] |
| 175 | * Another .gif file of [[http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/7400000/Abe-Simpson-walking-in-and-out-the-simpsons-7414427-320-240.gif Grandpa walking into an establishment, putting his hat on the rack]], turning around 1 1/2 times, taking his hat back off the rack after noticing Bart, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere and calmly leaving the establishment]] is another popular reaction image for the same moments. Some images photoshop Bart's head and replace it with other faces, like the open-mouthed, cowboy hat-wearning Homer wielding the air horn from "Whacking Day".[[labelnote:Explanation]]Originally from "Bart After Dark" when Grampa entered the burlesque house, but quickly exited when he saw Bart working there... before coming back in and asking, "Is your name Bart?"[[/labelnote]] |
| 176 | * Call Mr Plow. That's my name. That name again is Mr Plow. |
| 177 | * Television! Teacher! Mother! Secret Lover![[labelnote:Explanation]]Said by Homer at the end of the first story in "Treehouse of Horror V". Homer had been going slowly insane after Mr. Burns cut the cable and removed the beer from the house the Simpsons were staying in; Lisa managed to snap Homer out of his murderous rage by showing him a functioning portable TV.[[/labelnote]] |
| 178 | ** "Urge to kill RISING!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]From the same short; reversed when he sees the working TV: "Urge to kill... fading. Fading. ''(family approaches)'' RISING!... ''(they step back)'' Fading... gone."[[/labelnote]] |
| 179 | * STOP! STOP! HE'S ALREADY DEAD![[labelnote:Explanation]]In "Homie the Clown", Homer fills in for Krusty at a public event for Krusty Burger. When the Hamburglar-lookalike Krusty Burglar appears, Homer commences a beatdown on him in front of a crowd of shocked kids, one of whom sobs this line. It is usually used as a response to a CurbStompBattle in a major sporting event or by disgruntled fans to whenever a once-beloved FranchiseZombie announces another installment.[[/labelnote]] |
| 180 | * ...with sexy results.[[labelnote:Explanation]]In "Pygmoelian", Homer spoils the plots of future episodes of "It Never Ends" during a live episode, adding this on at the end of two descriptions, used often to comment on lewd situations online or in TV shows. It also became a hit in Spanish-speaking countries ("Con Resultados sexuales / Con Eróticos Resultados").[[/labelnote]] |
| 181 | * I choo-choo-choose you![[labelnote:Explanation]]The Valentine's Day card that Lisa gives to Ralph in "I Love Lisa". Since the episode's airing, it has often been used as a design for real-life Valnetine's Day cards.[[/labelnote]] |
| 182 | * "Don't do what Donny Don't does."[[labelnote:Explanation]]In the episode "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS5E8BoyScoutzNTheHood Boy Scoutz N The Hood]]", Bart is reading a book entitled: "The 10 Dos and 500 Don'ts of Knife Safety" While flipping through the pages of the book explaining what not to do with a pocket knife, he complains that "They won't let you have any fun."[[/labelnote]] |
| 183 | ** "We-e-ell! if it isn't the leader of the wiener patrol, boning up on his nerd lesson!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]In the same episode, Homer follows up Bart's reading with the latter gimmicky catchphrase, lampshading the position Bart got himself into when he unwittingly joined the Junior Campers.[[/labelnote]] |
| 184 | ** Sugarposting. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Homer's brief ImagineSpot in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS5E8BoyScoutzNTheHood Boy Scoutz N The Hood]]" features him dancing to "Sugar" by The Archies with a group of anthropomorphic candy. It eventually sparked a trend of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvkhVqWHR7k shoehorning Homer and the dancing candy into utterly unrelated scenes.]] [[/labelnote]] |
| 185 | * Looks like those clowns in Congress did it again. What a bunch of clowns.[[labelnote:Explanation]]A line of preprogrammed "inane chatter" spoken by the automatized radio host robot, "DJ 3000". Usually used in response to particularly lame and low-effort jokes about the inefficiency of the US Congress.[[/labelnote]] |
| 186 | * "Eat up Martha"[[labelnote:Explanation]]In "Lisa On Ice", Kearney tells Dolph to write "Beat up Martin" on his Apple Newton PDA, Apple's forefather to the iPhone and iPad, but it gets transcribed as "Eat up Martha", [[TakeThat mocking the poor diction of Newtons]]. This was widely considered Apple's biggest blunder until Apple Maps in 2012, and is used as a snark against Apple products (even within [[http://www.cnet.com/news/the-simpsons-eat-up-martha-was-the-first-autocorrect-fail/ Apple itself]]).[[/labelnote]] |
| 187 | * "He's history's greatest monster!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]In "Marge in Chains", when Springfield can't raise money for an UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln statue, they have to settle for a UsefulNotes/JimmyCarter statue instead that reads "Malaise Forever". This nearly causes a riot, as one angry citizen declares "He's history's greatest monster!" The line frequently appears in discussions about Carter, [[PoesLaw with varying degrees of sarcasm and seriousness]].[[/labelnote]] |
| 188 | * I have to go now. My planet needs me.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The ending of "The Itchy and Scratchy and Poochie Show" has Poochie crudely edited to say this line and fly away, in an effort to kill him off as fast as humanly possible. It usually comes up as a joking response to any fictional character getting written out of a story with little-to-no fanfare and for rather thin reasons. Also very popular among video gamers since [[GoodBadBugs examples of stuff suddenly flying far off into the air]] are far from uncommon in 3D video games everywhere.[[/labelnote]] |
| 189 | ** Note: Character died on the way to his home planet. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another way to mock characters being written out for trivial reasons, which is how Poochie was killed off.[[/labelnote]] |
| 190 | * WELCOME THRILLHO[[labelnote:Explanation]]From "Marge Be Not Proud" - Milhouse's entry on the "Enter Your Name" screen on the "Bonestorm" game is just a few letters short (he wanted "THRILLHOUSE").[[/labelnote]] |
| 191 | * DO IT FOR HER[[labelnote:Explanation]]"And Maggie Makes Three" features a plaque that initially read "DON'T FORGET: YOU'RE HERE FOREVER" in Homer's workstation, but was later covered up with photos of Maggie and made to read "DO IT FOR HER"; Maggie is Homer's motivation for continuing to work at the Nuclear Plant. Some fans create snowclones by replacing the images with those of a different character.[[/labelnote]] |
| 192 | ** DON'T FORGET: YOU'RE HERE FOREVER [[labelnote:Explanation]]The original text of the plaque is often used on places like 4chan as a mantra of sorts, as a way of saying that once someone joins, they may find themself unable to leave.[[/labelnote]] |
| 193 | ** DO IT FOR [[GenderSwap HIM]] / DON'T FORGET: YOU'RE HIME FOREVER[[labelnote:Explanation]]If the swapped-in character is male, "HER" gets replaced to "HIM", but this leads to the amusing side effect of changing the original text to "DON'T FORGET: YOU'RE HIME FOREVER", the implication being that the subject is a princess for life (''hime'' being Japanese for "princess").[[/labelnote]] |
| 194 | * Ow, quit it![[labelnote:Explaination]]In "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire," there was a scene where Lisa, Maggie, and Homer poked at Bart's arm where the tattoo was removed.[[/labelnote]] |
| 195 | * We are the neighbours and we don't think. [[labelnote:Explaination]]From "I'm Going to Praiseland", when Ned asks what the neighbours will think about him letting his crush Rachel stay the night.[[/labelnote]] |
| 196 | * I like stories. [[labelnote:Explanation]] From Season 4's "The Itchy and Scratchy Movie", Homer punishes Bart by forbidding him to see the seminal movie. When Bart eventually asks him to recant, he attempts to explain with a story why the punishment is ultimately good for Bart, which quickly goes off the rails and ends in "the doctor said I might have brain damage." This is Homer's reply when Bart asks what the point of the story was.[[/labelnote]] |
| 197 | * Everything's coming up Milhouse! [[labelnote:Explanation]]In "Mom and Pop Art", things finally went right for Milhouse when he happened to be wearing flood pants as a few inches of water rushed into his room.[[/labelnote]] |
| 198 | * My son is also named Bort. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In "Itchy & Scratchy Land" Bart is annoyed that the personalized license plates at the titular park's gift shop don't sell them with his name, however they have other B names including "Bort". Frustrated, Bart questions that name only to shortly meet a young boy and a grown who are both named Bort. (Mom: Come along, Bort. Man: Are you talking to me? Mom: No, my son is also named Bort.) [[BrickJoke Later in the episode,]] a staff member shouts into his radio: "We need more Bort license plates in the gift shop! I repeat, we are sold out of Bort license plates!"[[/labelnote]] |
| 199 | ** {{Defictionalization}}: Several fans have gotten real life "BORT" [[VanityLicensePlate vanity plates]] put on their cars. |
| 200 | ** AscendedMeme: The Simpsons park at Universal Studios Florida sells several personalized souvenirs at their gift shop. Bort is one of the name options and of course, they sell out fast. |
| 201 | * "That's okay. Your tears say more than real evidence ever could." [[labelnote:Explanation]] In "Homer Badman" Homer is mistaken for a molester, and soon becomes a mass media boogeyman, such as in [[CaptainErsatz a parody of Sally Jessie Raphael]]. This has since become a popular quote to post in social media forums to criticize people who uncritically believes in rumours or allegations.[[/labelnote]] |
| 202 | * "I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was. Now what I'm with isn't "it", and what's "it" seems weird and scary to me. It'll happen to you." [[labelnote:Explanation]]From "Homerpalooza," when (in flashback) a teenaged Homer tells Grampa that he's not "with it". The whole sequence, or sometimes just a still of Grandpa pointing accusingly with "It'll happen to you.'' imposed over it, is often used as a rebuttal towards snooty commentators who shame people for not being up-to-date on current trends, or to highlight how everything will eventually go out of style or grow obsolete and be replaced by something new.[[/labelnote]] |
| 203 | * Willie hears ya. Willie don't care.[[labelnote:Explanation]] In "Grade School Confidential", Skinner goes to the roof of the school and announces by megaphone he's barricaded the place, prompting the above response. [[/labelnote]] |
| 204 | * Am I so out of touch? [[NeverMyFault No, it's the children who are wrong.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Also in "The Boy Who Knew Too Much": Principal Skinner's attempts to find Bart fail when he only thinks to search in places like the museum, leading to the quote. It's become especially popular in response to attempts to appeal to kids or young people or shaming them, or by older fans acknowledging they're out of touch with the current youth.[[/labelnote]] |
| 205 | ** No, [[Music/HallandOates I'm out of time]][[labelnote:Explanation]] As a sub-meme, Skinner instead realizes he's out of time, as a reference to Out of Touch. Most of these memes also reference ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoViceCity'', with Skinner replacing Tommy Vercetti.[[/labelnote]] |
| 206 | * Marge krumping[[labelnote:Explanation]]In "Little Orphan Millie", after Milhouse starts getting carried away from his new image, Marge offers to krump with Bart. What's particularly infamous about this is [[https://40.media.tumblr.com/c18ba10d8933052d5312c4da75224cd2/tumblr_o1ncyg867r1v20qjdo1_500.jpg a single frame of animation]] during the subsequent dance; Marge hunched over [[OffModel with a vacant look in her eyes and a goofy grin on her face]]. Her pose in said frame -- which appears as though she is stepping in to deliver a left hook or perform a {{Shoryuken}} -- has also led to Marge being portrayed as a MemeticBadass, with various memes editing her into animated fight scenes so it looks like she is punching the character in question.[[/labelnote]] |
| 207 | * I sleep in a racing car. Do you?[[labelnote:Explanation]]In "A Milhouse Divided", Kirk Van Houten had just divorced from Luann, and he boasts to Homer that one of the advantages of a single life is that you get to sleep in your own bed. Homer's response: "I sleep in a big bed with my wife."[[/labelnote]] |
| 208 | * Steamed hams.[[labelnote:Explanation]]In "22 Short Films About Springfield", after accidentally burning his roast, Principal Skinner salvages his [[DinnerWithTheBoss luncheon with Superintendent Chalmers]] by serving Krusty Burgers presented as his own making. However, he claimed beforehand that they were having steamed clams, leading to this slang term he made up on the spot. It inexplicably gained popularity as a word-replacement meme, and quite a few [=YouTubers=] have taken to remix the short, either by recreating it in programs such as UsefulNotes/MSPaint or Platform/GoAnimate, or by editing it, doing things such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pefj_3tQ5rI having Skinner and Chalmers go on a road trip to upstate New York]], making Skinner only exist [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness as a figment of the Superintendent's imagination]] or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFVSdlBray8 making it play out as an episode of]] ''Anime/DragonBallZ''; perhaps most infamously someone got ''Creator/JeffGoldblum'' to read Skinner's dialogue and redubbed the short accordingly.[[/labelnote]] |
| 209 | ** "X?! AT THIS TIME OF YEAR, AT THIS TIME OF DAY, IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY, ''LOCALIZED '''ENTIRELY''' WITHIN Y?!''"[[labelnote:Explanation]]When Chalmers notices Skinner's kitchen is on fire due to the burnt roast in the oven that Skinner never attended to, Skinner [[BlatantLies tries to pass it off as the Aurora Borealis]], which leads to Chalmers' skeptical reaction. The phrase has since spawned numerous SnowClones.[[/labelnote]] |
| 210 | ** GOOD LORD, WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THERE?![[labelnote:Explanation]]The moment directly before the above clip, wherein Chalmers notices the raging fire. Used to make fun of a group of people, a country or a fanbase in civil turmoil, or just a really bad or weird place.[[/labelnote]] |
| 211 | * The Simpsons predict everything![[labelnote:Explanation]]Certain events are declared to be predicted by the show, even if it's just a ShoutOut or merely HilariousInHindsight. The show itself referenced this in the chalkboard gag for "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS28E13Fatzcarraldo Fatzcarraldo]]": "If we're so good at predicting, how come my dad bet on Atlanta?"[[/labelnote]] |
| 212 | ** Oh shit The Simpsons Predicted Walking[[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1291691-the-simpsons A mockery of the meme]] where, instead of an actual ''Simpsons'' screenshot, a screenshot of WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants walking in his show's episode "The Donut of Shame" (cited as originating in the year 1453) is used.[[/labelnote]] |
| 213 | * "[[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/local-man-ruins-everything Local Man Ruins Everything]]"[[labelnote:Explanation]]In the episode "Jaws Wired Shut", we see a framed newspaper clipping of Homer with this headline. The photo is usually edited to show a character that lives up to said headline (which is also edited when necessary).[[/labelnote]] |
| 214 | * You can actually pinpoint the ''second'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bPbhCWtZmM when his heart rips in half]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]From "I Love Lisa", in which Ralph Wiggum becomes an AbhorrentAdmirer towards Lisa. Bart ends up showing her a play-by-play replay of when Lisa finally tells him off. On national television. It is usually used with clips of people experiencing a sudden bout of soul-crushing despair.[[/labelnote]] |
| 215 | * "I'm Homer Simpson!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Said by Frank Grimes, after his scheme to humiliate Homer fails, leading Frank to have a nervous breakdown and start acting like Homer.[[/labelnote]] |
| 216 | * "Now I see why they call you Ms. Hoover."[[labelnote:Explanation]]From a scene in "Days of Future Future", a BaitAndSwitch where we're led to believe that Lisa's teacher Ms. Hoover gave oral sex to Bart in the future, only to reveal that he's just impressed that she vaccumed the floor.[[/labelnote]] |
| 217 | * "Pathetic."[[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/022/017/thumb.png A screenshot from "Bart the Genius" showing Skinner glaring down, with a caption reading "Pathetic." imposed over it]]. Used to mock someone's tastes or behavior. [[BeamMeUpScotty It should be noted that Skinner never said this line during the episode]]. That bit is actually taken from the anime film ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion The End of Evangelion]]'', wherein the character Asuka utters the line while depicted with a similar expression on her face.[[/labelnote]] |
| 218 | * [[http://i0.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/023/946/lemon.jpg Lemons]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]After stealing a lemon tree, Shelby's father takes a bite of a lemon to mock Homer. It became a common gag to photoshop his face onto the faces of other characters after they eat lemons.[[/labelnote]] |
| 219 | * Simpsonwave[[labelnote:Explanation]]Remixing footage from early seasons of the show with 80s era visual effects, set to {{vaporwave}} music.[[/labelnote]] |
| 220 | * [[https://frinkiac.com/caption/S05E04/707823 Lowmer]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]During Season 5's "Rosebud", Homer imagines himself singing the UsefulNotes/McDonalds Menu Song in his own recording studio (which he wants Mr. Burns to give him as a reward for finding his childhood teddy bear). His crouching is part of the dance he does while singing the song.[[/labelnote]] |
| 221 | * A girl wants to play football! How about that?[[labelnote:Explanation]] From Season 9 episode "Bart Star" where [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnRt_JEoBRU Lisa demands a place in the student's football team because it's male dominated]]. She loses interest when Flanders points out that they already have several girls on the team and instead tries to shame them for using balls she think is made out of pig skin, only to be told that they're synthetic and part of the money they pay for the balls are going to charity. The clip is often seen as a TakeThat to affirmative action and those who are intentionally trying to gain the moral high ground (often called [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtue_signalling Virtue Signalling]]).[[/labelnote]] |
| 222 | ** Eh, football's really not my thing. |
| 223 | ** Actually, Lisa. These balls are synthetic. |
| 224 | * You got the dud![[labelnote:Explanation]]Said by Marge in "Summer of 4'2''" when Bart opens the door in the "Mystery Date" game and a picture of a nerd, looking a lot like Milhouse, is behind it, prompting Homer to slowly break into a smile. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IxOLSyNZfU Now, anything and everything in the Simpsons that involves opening something has been mashed-up with this scene, with the character, no matter who it is, taking on Homer's smile (stubble included).]][[/labelnote]] |
| 225 | * Sneed's Feed and Seed (Formerly Chuck's) [[labelnote:Explanation]]The shop where Homer buys tomatoes and tobacco in the Season 11 episode "E-I-E-I-D'oh." The name is a rather subtle sex joke, where one realizes that Sneed, Feed, and Seed all rhyme, and quickly realizes that Chuck's Feed and Seed was actually named Chuck's Fuck and Suck. Sneedposting took off on 4chan's /tv/ board in late 2017 and has been going strong since, even spreading to other boards; by now, it's practically impossible to make a Simpsons thread without at least one sneed-related reply.[[/labelnote]] |
| 226 | ** [[Franchise/{{Fallout}} The Sneedclave]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]After the developers for the ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' mod ''VideoGame/TheFrontier'' told off fans for not having a Enclave option, [[Website/FourChan /v/]] would use this name to identify themselves, being a portmanteau of "Sneed" and "Enclave", to dig up dirt on the developers.[[/labelnote]] |
| 227 | * SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMPSINS!? [[labelnote:Explanation]] A user known as [=GenerationStar=] or [=SuperMysticalFairy=] refers to the entire Simpson family from the show as this. [[/labelnote]] |
| 228 | * "It's true, but he shouldn't say it!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Marge's response to Kent Brockman talking about how women fighting over items at clearance sales is more sexist than naming a hurricane after a woman in the episode "Hurricane Neddy". It's usually used to respond to true facts that are either obvious, shocking or gross.[[/labelnote]] |
| 229 | ** "It's true and he should say it!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]An inverse of the above is also quite popular, where images of Marge are used with the text edited. It's usually used as an endorsement of a "hot take", or an uncommon/unpopular opinion, usually fandom related.[[/labelnote]] |
| 230 | * "The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side." "That's a right triangle, you idiot!" "D'oh!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the episode "$pringfield", Homer says a quote from ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'' after putting on Harry Kissinger's glasses that he found in the toilet. Due to PopCulturalOsmosis, the Simpsons version of the quote [[ParodyDisplacement became more popular than the original scene.]][[/labelnote]] |
| 231 | * "Not today, old friend." [[labelnote:Explanation]]At the end of Season 24's "Whiskey Business", it seemed like Moe is going to the back room of his bar to hang himself again, only to come back out holding a dust pan and broom to clean. He then looks back at the noose and says, "Not today, old friend. But don't worry -- holidays are just around the corner." It's been used as a reaction image for a bad situation turning out good.[[/labelnote]] |
| 232 | * "El Barsinso" [[labelnote:Explanation]]In various shitposting pages on Facebook, it is very common to grab crudely drawn images (or bootlegs) of Simpsons characters.

| 233 | * "That child has wetted his trousers!" (audience gasps) [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sideshow Mel says this after seeing Bart wet himself in "Love Is A Many Strangled Thing".[[/labelnote]] |
| 234 | * "Bart! Why are you doing that?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]In "Itchy and Scratchy: The Movie", Homer catches Bart smashing packets of mustard with a hammer, apparently imitating a gimmicky billboard advertising the titular movie. What makes this memeworthy is [[http://i.imgur.com/qvLBT05.jpg a frame-grab]] of Bart mid-blink as he responds to Homer ("I don't know").[[/labelnote]] |
| 235 | * "Yvan Eht Nioj" [[labelnote:Explanation]]In "New Kids on the Blech" Bart, Milhouse, Ralph, and Nelson form a boy band that's actually a cover for a navy recruitment program. The [[FanserviceExtra back up singers]] are chanting this in the fours' video to subliminally brainwash people, which is naturally "Join the Navy" [[SdrawkcabSpeech spelled and spoken backwards]].[[/labelnote]] |
| 236 | * Front-facing ''Simpsons'' characters. [[labelnote:Explanation]]While somewhat common in the first few seasons, the sight of a ''Simpsons'' character looking towards the camera face on is generally limited to a single frame of them turning their head (unless it's Kent Brockman doing a newcast, or Krusty the Klown filming his show). Screenshots like [[https://gobblechopstv.tumblr.com/tagged/face%20on these]] and [[https://frontfacingsimpsons.tumblr.com/ these]] are infamous for either having odd facial expressions or just being OffModel.[[/labelnote]] |
| 237 | * AT LEAST YOU TRIED [[labelnote:Explanation]]In "He Loves To Fly And He Do'hs" when Homer returns to the house after a job interview, Bart has a cake with the message inscribed, which he quickly throws away.

[[labelnote:Explanation]]In "Bart Sells His Soul", after the Hibbert family briefly stop by Moe's Tavern, Moe laments that these days everyone prefers family restaurants over a "dank pit", causing Carl to worry that Moe might be getting rid of the dank.

| 239 | * Homer getting beat up by Mickey Mouse. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In "Mobile Homer", after Homer almost dies from getting his neck crushed by the garage door, Marge shows him a series of vacation photos where his life was threatened, and the first picture we see is of Homer at Disneyland getting beat up by said character while Goofy is holding him up. It became a meme [[HilariousInHindsight after Disney acquired 21st Century Fox]] (initially for $52.4 billion, later updated to $71.4 billion after Comcast offered $65 billion), whose assets include the studio and ''The Simpsons'' itself.[[/labelnote]] |
| 240 | ** In a similar vein, the "I'm the mascot of an evil corporation!" line from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsonsMovie'' became this for the same HilariousInHindsight reason. |
| 241 | * Hibbert punching someone through an empty frame. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In a Treehouse of Horror VII segment "The Thing and I", Dr. Hibbert tries to subdue Bart's twin by asking him to look in a mirror, but the mirror he's holding is just an empty frame. Bart's twin sees Hibbert's face behind the frame just before Hibbert punches through it to knock him out. For the meme, shots that involve anyone looking into any mirror or picture have the contents replaced by Hibbert's face, followed by a knockout punch from him.[[/labelnote]] |
| 242 | * "(giggling) I'm in danger!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]From the second half of "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS13E1TheSimpsonsGuy The Simpsons Guy]]", during which Homer and [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Peter Griffin]] hijack the school bus during their big fight, and Ralph just happened to be the only kid sitting in it, uttering a typical naïve exclamation of his.

| 245 | * "I just think they're neat." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Said by Marge in the episode [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS5E19SweetSeymourSkinnersBaadasssssSong "Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song"]] after Bart asks her why she thinks it's a good idea to bring a potato to school for show and tell.

After it ends, Homer spoils the movie's ending in front of the people waiting in line to see it. The clip is commonly used to warn people not to spoil highly-anticipated films.[[/labelnote]] |
| 247 | * Bart, get out! I'm piss! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A notorious and extremely NSFW fan comic written in rather broken English has Lisa say this when Bart walks in on her while she's in the bathroom.[[/labelnote]] |
| 248 | * Bart, I don't want to alarm you, but... [[labelnote:Explanation]]An edited version of a scene from "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS5E10Springfield $pringfield]]", where Homer walks into Bart's room at night and says the preceding phrase to him, leading into a warning about there potentially being a boogeyman or boogey''men'' in the house. The rest of the sentence after "but" is replaced with something from some other work of media, with Bart's scream occasionally being changed to a scream from the same work. Examples include [[http://twitter.com/CJ_Appearance/status/1128170503691046912 Homer playing ominous music]] from ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas'', [[http://twitter.com/KiraECS/status/1128696365100478464?s=20 Homer playing the battle song]] from ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'' with Bart doing Werehog Sonic's scream, [[http://twitter.com/Wario_Jojo/status/1128070138895437826?s=20 Homer shouting "HURRY UP!"]] from ''VideoGame/WarioLand4'' with Bart doing Wario's scream, and Homer informing [[VideoGame/AceCombat04ShatteredSkies Mobius 1]]-I mean Bart [[https://youtu.be/MDa9QJAGUQ8 of an incoming enemy squadron.]][[/labelnote]] |

| 250 | * "Go away! There ain't no Music/MichaelJackson episode and there never was!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The original line was "Go away! There ain't no Monorail and there never was!" from "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E12MargeVsTheMonorail Marge vs. the Monorail]]".

| 251 | * "Kids, could you lighten up a little?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]In a scene of "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS2E21ThreeMenAndAComicBook Three Men and a Comic Book]]", Bart and Lisa sit in the back of the car discussing comic books. When they pitch a theory that WesternAnimation/CasperTheFriendlyGhost is actually ComicBook/RichieRich after he "realized how hollow the pursuit of money is and [[DrivenToSuicide took his own life]]," this is Marge's response. It's since become a popular reaction image to people making similarly edgy theories on pretty much anything.[[/labelnote]] |
| 252 | * "...What the hell was ''that?!''"[[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhe3vSe-mmw This]] clip from "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E22KrustyGetsKancelled Krusty Gets Kancelled]]," where the eponymous clown shows a ShoddyKnockoffProduct of Itchy and Scratchy and is extremely confused about what just happened.

[[labelnote:explanation]]In "Marge vs. the Monorail," Krusty attempts to leap from the out of control monorail to his likely death, only for Creator/LeonardNimoy to grab him and pull him back in mid leap, then giving him the aforementioned line. After Nimoy's passing in 2015, it became a popular quote from fans to post [[InMemoriam in tribute]] to him.[[/labelnote]] |
| 255 | * The SIMP-sons[[labelnote:explanation]]Although, the origins of the term [[https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Simp "Simp"]] is completely unrelated, this joke was inevitable.[[/labelnote]] |

After he's given a large fee, he argues that his newspaper ad said he "Works on contingency - No money down". Hutz says the ad was a misprint and [[PunctuationChangesTheMeaning adds punctuation with a pen that completely subverts the promise]]. This is referenced frequently in response to politicians and advertisements who have been accused of backflipping on previously stated policies or practiced BaitAndSwitch marketing.[[/note]] |
| 262 | * Thursday the 20th [[labelnote:explanation]]In the episode "Pranksta Rap," a rapper is shown with a gold chain reading the date. Expect this image to be posted anytime the 20th of a month falls on a Thursday.[[/labelnote]] |
| 263 | * "Get ready everybody. He's about to do something stupid."[[labelnote:explanation]] From the episode "Homer to the Max," Lenny says this while he and his coworkers watch Homer heat up a fondue pot after a buffoonish character in a TV show has the same name as him.

Bush and Jimmy Carter are both banned from Mr. Burns' birthday party on accounts of them each serving only one Presidential term. In 2020 after President UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump lost his reelection bid to UsefulNotes/JoeBiden, being the first incumbent President since Bush to lose, this joke quickly made a resurgence for fans, with many people joking that this would mean Trump would be banned from any future birthday parties hosted for Burns.[[/labelnote]] |
| 265 | * Saying the quiet part out loud [[labelnote:Explanation]]An expression [[https://youtu.be/PMHt481HsFU originating from "A Star Is Burns"]], when Krusty is asked by the jury of a local film festival on why would he vote for Mr. Burn's film. Krusty replies with "Let's just say it moved me... '''to a bigger house'''!", then -- just realizing he accidentally blurted out the fact that Burns bribed him to vote for the film -- follows with "Oops! I said the loud part quiet and the quiet part loud!" The expression is widely used to mock and highlight real-life instances of "DidIJustSayThatOutLoud" where people inadvertently reveal their actual thoughts, plans, and motives to the public when it would have been better to keep them hidden.[[/labelnote]] |
| 266 | * "I don't like the idea of Milhouse having two spaghetti meals in one day." [[labelnote:explanation]] From the "Nightmare on Evergreen Terrace" segment.

The line is used to complain about cold weather during winter months.[[/labelnote]] |
| 271 | ** Homer Opens The Door [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the "Attack of the 50-Foot Eyesores", after stealing the Lard Lad Donut mascot's giant doughnut from its sign, he comes to life wanting it back and eventually rings the Simpsons' front door looking for it, only for Homer to answer the door and lie about having it. The scene has been edited to include random (giant or otherwise not-to-scale) people, animals, or objects at the door instead and Homer subsequently screaming in terror.[[/labelnote]] |
| 272 | * Bartholomew [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure JoJo]] Simpson. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the "Stop The World, I Want To Goof Off" segment of ''[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS15E1TreehouseOfHorrorXIV Treehouse Of Horror XIV]]'', Bart's [[TimeStandsStill Pocket Watch]] drew many comparisons to the [[TimeMaster time-manipulating abilities]] of Jotaro Kujo and DIO's Stands -- Star Platinum and The World, respectively -- from ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders''. Bart's aforementioned middle name only made the connection even ''more'' amusing; leading to many fan illustrations of Bart in the style of the Manga, often accompanied by his own fan-made [[FightingSpirit Stand]] based on the Watch itself.[[/labelnote]] |
| 273 | * [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/moe-tossing-barney-out Moe throws Barney out of his bar]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] In "The Seemingly Never-Ending Story", Moe falls in love with Edna Krabappel and hides the fact that he's a bartender from her, to the point of closing down his tavern and throwing everybody out, but Barney keeps getting back in.

| 274 | * "I said you're gonna watch this tape..."[[labelnote:Explanation]]This line comes from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1N-1C4cqEQ a scene in the season 1 episode]] [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS1E13SomeEnchantedEvening "Some Enchanted Evening"]], where Ms. Botz threatens Bart to watch the Happy Little Elves tape, which became memetic in recent years due to several people on social media pointing out how [[AnimationBump unusually fluid]] this one scene is compared to the rest of the show. Numerous edits ended up being made of this scene as a result.[[/labelnote]] |
| 275 | * "It's been done."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Line spoken by Music/GeorgeHarrison in [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS5E1HomersBarbershopQuartet "Homer's Barbershop Quartet"]] when the Be-Sharps are doing a rooftop concert, referencing when Music/TheBeatles (who George was a member of) did the same thing.

[[labelnote:Explanation]] In [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS5E22SecretsOfASuccessfulMarriage Secrets of a Successful Marriage]], during a visit to the Adult Education Annex, Homer notices that Patty, Moe, and even Lenny are teaching classes, inspiring him to teach a class of his own.

Say some gangsta is dissin' your fly girl. Ya just give 'em one of these..." He then does a dance routine which culminates with him grabbing a shotgun from the back of the room and firing it recklessly. It's popular to play different songs over this scene.[[/labelnote]] |
| 277 | * [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/homer-simpsons-back-fat Homer Simpson's Back Fat]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] In [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS19E7HusbandsAndKnives Husbands And Knives]], Homer has gastic band surgery in response to the idea that Marge may leave him for a younger model. However, this has led to large flabs of skin, which he tries to hide from Marge. The scene where this is shown is used commonly online to show a company, country, or person trying to hide their true self or a secret from the public, or there's a catch to a proposal or claim.[[/labelnote]] |
| 278 | * [[https://frinkiac.com/caption/S02E01/275215 Lisa looking down at her plate]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]From Season 2's "Bart Gets an F" when Lisa was about to announce that she got an A on her vocabulary test. This picture is often edited to represent meal times in different parts of the world, while the unedited version is often used in reaction to something incomprehensible or inexplicable, as if Lisa is instead just giving a vacant, confused stare at whatever was just said.[[/labelnote]] |
| 279 | * "Oh, no, not Lenny!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]In "Hello Gutter, Hello Fadder", Homer decides to go bowling with Lenny and Carl instead of going home after work, so he tells Marge that Lenny got injured at work and he's with him at the hospital, prompting this response from Marge.

| 280 | * "We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]In "Hurricane Neddy", it's revealed that Ned's {{Verbal Tic}}s like "diddley" and "doodley" are the product of suppressed anger thanks to a period of spanking by his child psychologist, Dr. Foster, because [[AdultsAreUseless Ned's parents refused to discipline him for his hyperactivity and aggression, as they quit believing in rules once they became beatniks]]. As Dr. Foster notes, "You don't believe in rules, yet you want to control Ned's anger?", prompting Ned's mother, Mona, to answer "You gotta help us, Doc.

| 284 | * Gumbly / Graggle Simpson. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A fanmade character that many people photoshopped into images and scenes from the show, [[PlayAlongMeme claiming that he was always there]].[[/labelnote]] |
| 285 | * "That's it! Back to Winnipeg!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]In "Bart on the Road", there is an unnamed and irate father driving his family, including his three bickering children, on a road trip from their hometown to Cape Canaveral. After warning them that if they don't start behaving, the trip will be canceled, Nelson Muntz (in Bart's rented car next to the family) dope slaps him [[{{Troll}} for no reason]] and makes him shout this. It a very non-sequitor expression to use, often to describe a TakeThat towards a (real or exaggerated) WretchedHive and the comment itself is modeled after the ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'' logo whenever seen on social media.[[/labelnote]] |
| 286 | * Put it in H![[labelnote:Explanation]]From “Mr. Plow”, this is the direction that Crazy Vaclav gives to Homer while driving his unsafe car. You can expect this one to show up whenever a questionable automobile is shown.[[/labelnote]] |
| 287 | * Smithers cornered by strippers[[labelnote:Explanation]]In "A Hunka Hunka Burns in Love", Mr. Burns and Mr. Smithers accidentally walk into a strip club. [[TransparentCloset Smithers]] is trapped in a corner with one dancer ShakingTheRump in his face and another doing a "bump and grind" dance, which makes him deeply uncomfortable. This has become an imagepaste for people trying to avoid temptation, sexual or otherwise.[[/labelnote]] |
| 288 | * Chainsaw Willie [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the "Nightmare on Elm Tree" segment in [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS33E3TreehouseOfHorrorXXXII Treehouse Of HorrorXXXII]], Willie appears carrying [[DualWielding dual chainsaws]] and a pair of roller skates that have ''circular saws'' attached to them. Thanks to the popularity of ''Manga/ChainsawMan'', fans of both Simpsons and Chainsaw Man were [[https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/2468518-chainsaw-man--2 quick]] to make [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Animemes/comments/y6ixqw/chainsaw_man/ memes]] out of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yO6UiMewNA the strange coincidence]].[[/labelnote]] |

Eventually, viewers picked up on the habit and started making increasingly elaborate and/or absurdly placed references to "that funny scene with Ned Flanders", at which point it leaked into the general Russian-speaking internet and became an ironic meme in itself.[[/labelnote]] |
| 290 | * “Why now? Why not 20 years ago?” [[labelnote:Explanation]]A reference to the scene from “The Last Temptation of Krust” where a journalist asks this about Krusty’s retirement; it comes up when entertainers viewed as long in the tooth announce their retirement.[[/labelnote]] |

| 293 | * "Mom, Dad, Bart's dead!" [[note]]In [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E4ItchyAndScratchyLand "Itchy and Scratchy Land"]], one of the ploys Bart tries to get Homer and Marge to take them to the titular theme park is by pretending he's dead and getting Lisa to drag him in a toy wagon to their parents' bedroom while they're trying to sleep. Lisa announces Bart's dead, to their shock, only for Bart to sit up and clarify that he's "dead serious about going to Itchy and Scratchy land". With a coat of [[StylisticSuck heavy JPEG artifacting]], this meme has been repurposed for all kinds of shocking or highly anticipated news that becomes far more disappointing with additional clarification, such as [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Pikmin/comments/p72qlf/original_memer_credited_in_the_comments/ this strip]] where Lisa comes in with news about the then-unannounced and fan-anticipated ''VideoGame/Pikmin4'', only for Bart to clarify that it's "[[{{Pun}} Pikmin 4 your mouth]]" with [[TheMerch an image of Pikmin-themed gummies overlaid onto the panel]].[[/note]] |

This scene is often used to mock people who (obliviously or otherwise) take full credit for something that was mostly or entirely done by other people (such as, for example, millonaires and billionaires who were born into wealth and privilege yet claim that no one gave them anything and that all their money comes exclusively from their own hard work).[[/labelnote]] |
| 295 | * "Pray for Mojo." [[labelnote:explanation]]In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS9E21GirlyEdition Girly Edition]]", Homer adopts a helper monkey named Mojo after seeing a wheelchair-bound Apu use one, but Homer ends up turning Mojo into a slob. After Marge talks him into taking Mojo back to the animal helper agency, he leaves Mojo on the steps outside, and when the manager finds him, Mojo types those words into a text-to-speech synthesizer.[[/labelnote]] |
| 296 | * "I'm seeing double here! Four Krustys!" [[labelnote:explanation]]In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E15HomieTheClown Homie The Clown]]", Homer gets kidnapped by Fat Tony and his mob who think he's the real Krusty the Clown, who owes them money, and when the actual Krusty arrives, Legs rubs his eyes and mutters: "I'm seeing double here... four Krustys!", subverting the SingleMaltVision gag. "Krustys" is often replaced with some other set of similar or identical-looking items.[[/labelnote]] |

| 301 | * "Damned Scots, they ruined Scotland!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Comes from the episode "Milhouse Doesn't Live Here Anymore", where Groundskeeper Willie compares Lisa and Bart's rivalry to those of the Scots, and then says the line.

| 302 | * HOMER IS DEAD [[labelnote:Explanation]]A series of comics where characters from the show try to interact with Homer, only for him to turn out to be dead in the second panel.
