Homer's Statement on NBC

I'd like to read the following statement, but I do so under-- (gun cocks) -- under my own free will. It has come to my attention that NBC sucks. I apologize for misleading you and urge you to watch as many Fox show as possible. So, in summary, NBC bad, Fox good... CBS great.

The Opening Quote in Tropic Thunder

In the Winter of 1969, an elite force of the US Army was sent on a top secret assignment in Southeast Vietnam. The objective: rescue Sgt. Four Leaf Tayback from a heavily guarded NVA Prison Camp. The mission was considered to be near-suicide. Of the ten men sent, four returned. Of those four, three wrote books about what happened. Of those three, two were published. And of those two, only one got a movie deal. This is the story of the men who attempted to make that movie.

Homer's Delicious Treat Prayer

Dear Lord, as I think of you, dressed in white with your splendid beard, I am reminded of Colonel Sanders, who is now seated at your right hand, shoveling popcorn chicken into thy mouth. Lord, could you come up with a delicious new taste treat like he did?

Homer's Movie Parody Quote FTW

Look Marge, you don't know what it's like - I'm the one out there every day putting his ass on the line. And I'm not out of order! You're out of order! The whole freaking system is out of order! You want the truth? You want the truth? You can't handle the truth! 'Cause when you reach over and put your hand into a pile of goo that used to be your best friend's face, you'll know what to do! Forget it, Marge, it's Chinatown!

Homer's New Order of the Family

Hmm, I can see the house is falling apart without me, so here's the new order: Bart, you're the man of the house; Lisa, I'm promoting you to boy; Maggie's now the brainy girl; the toaster can fill in for Maggie; and Marge, you're a consultant.

Smithers on Burns' Plan to Block the Sun

But sir, every plant and tree will die; owls will deafen us with incessant hooting; the town sundial will be useless I don't want any part of this project. It's unconscionably fiendish.

Kirk's Attempt to Emotionally Compromise Spock

James T. Kirk: What is it with you Spock? Your planet was just destroyed, your mother murdered and you're not even upset.

Spock: If you are presuming that these experiences in any way imped my ability to command this ship, you are mistaken.

James T. Kirk: And yet, you are the one who said fear is necessary for command. I mean, did you see his ship? Did you see what he did?

Spock: Yes, of course I did?

Kirk: So are you afraid or aren't you?

Spock: I wll not allow you to lecture me about the merits of emotion.

James T. Kirk: Then why don't you stop me?

Spock: Step away from me, Mr. Kirk.

James T. Kirk: What is it like to not feel anger? Or heartbreak? Or the need to stop at nothing to avenge the death of the womna who gave birth to you?

Spock: Back away from me!

Kirk: You feel nothing! It must not even compute for you! You never loved her! (Fight follows)

Homer's Version of the Flintstones Theme

Simpson, Homer Simpson
He's the greatest guy in history
From the town of Springfield
He's about to hit a chestnut tree.

EPIC Homer's First Restaurant Review FAIL

Lifeways Editor: This is a joke, right? I mean, this is the stupidest thing I've ever read.

Homer: What's wrong with it?

Lifeways Editor: Well, you keep using words like "pasghetti" and "momatoes"; you make numerous threatening references to the UN; and at the end you repeat words "Screw Flanders" over and over again.

Homer: Oh. It's so hard to get to 500 words.

Oori On Why Zohan Can't Work At Electronics Store

Once you start in electronics store, you never get out. Look at Ephraim. You see, Ephraim came to America to be racing car driver. But he let slip away. Pinchas wanted to be next Bill Cosby. But the store kept pulling him back. Yosi wanted to be hand model. But he got too comfortable here. The electronics store is dream killer. And I won't let the Zohna kill his dream.

The A113 Message from Shelby Forthright

Hey there, autopilots. Got some bad news. Um, Operation Cleanup has, well, failed. Wouldn't you know, rising toxicity levels have made life unsustainable on Earth... Darn it all, we're going to have to cancel Operation Recolonize. So... just stay the course. Um... rather than try and fix this problem, it'll be easier for everyone to remain in space... I think... Okay. I'm giving Override Directive A113. Go to full autopilot. Take control of everything and do not return to Earth. Repeat, do not return to Earth. Let's get the heck out of here.
