Well you know boys, a nuclear reactor is a lot like women. You just have to read the manual and press the right button.
What do we need a psychiatrist for? We know our kid is nuts.
Marge, you being a cop makes you the man! Which makes me the woman - and I have no interest in that, besides occasionally wearing the underwear, which as we discussed, is strictly a comfort thing.
Marge, what's wrong? Are you hungry? Sleepy? Gassy? Gassy? Is it gas? It's gas, isn't it?
Marge, old people don't need companionship, they need to be isolated and studied to see what useful nutrients can be obtained from them...
Marge, it takes two to lie. One to lie and one to listen
Marge, it's 3 AM. Shouldn't you be cooking or something?
Marriage is like a coffin and each kid is like another nail.
Lisa, vampires are make-believe, like elves, gremlins, and eskimos
Lisa honey, are you saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?
I won't sleep in the same bed with a woman who thinks I'm lazy! I'm going right downstairs, unfold the couch, unroll the sleeping ba- uh, goodnight.
The voice doesn't take a lot of effort now, but in the beginning it was hard to try to find a voice. The one I settled on was just easier to do for a half-hour.
One of my favorite episodes was the one in which Homer grew hair. That was a very unique episode, since there was a gay secretary, but that wasn't even the issue of the show-the issue was Homer's image changing because he had hair.
I think the tone of the show has certainly changed over the years, because it's really, really hard to do something different when you have a show going on as long as this has.
