Purple Monkey Dishwasher
« on: May 11, 2008, 11:13:44 PM »
Well, here it is. After going off the deep end with obscura with the last movie quotes quiz, I decided to use something more familiar for the next round. And thus, we have...The Simpsons Quote Quiz, product of the Cid's excessive free time and frightening memory for useless trivia. Pretty much works as usual, I.E., PM me answers, you have a week to respond, etcetera, with one difference: for each quote, you get one point for naming the character and another for specifying the episode. Since I don't expect everyone to know episode titles (and god knows I had to look plenty of 'em up), vague episode summaries are wholly acceptable for the latter detail. "The one where..." and such is good enough. Also, no character or episode was used twice here, and all quotes are from recurring characters (no random celebrity cameos, in other words). I should also point out that, since The Simpsons jumped the shark sometime not long after 2000, all of the below quotes are from season ten or earlier. Without further ado, the quotes:

1: But my mom says I'm cool.

2: That monkey is going to pay.

3: I've said it before and I'll say it again: democracy simply doesn't work.

4: You'd better run, egg!

5: Hello. I am not interested in buying your house, but I would like to use your restroom, flip through your magazines, rearrange your carefully shelved items and handle your food products in an unsanitary manner. Ha! Now you know how it feels!

6: My eyes! The goggles, they do nothing!

7: Rocky five plus Rocky two equals...Rocky VII, Adrian's Revenge!

8: Don't cry for me, I'm already dead.

9: "Sex Cauldron?" I thought they closed that place down!

10: Well, if it isn't my old friend Mr. McGreg, a leg for an arm and an arm for a leg.

11: You want the truth? You can't handle the truth. No truth-handler, you. I deride your truth-handling abilities!

12: I am the lizard queen!

13: What IS your fascination with Daddy's Forbidden Closet of Mystery?

14: My Homer is not a communist. He may be a liar, a pig, an idiot, a communist, but he is not a porn star!

15: Thank the Lor -- thank the Lord?  That sounded like a prayer. A prayer. A prayer in a public school!  God has no place within these walls, just like facts have no place within organized religion.

16: Tastes like...burning!

17: Don't touch my stuff! ...Heeey, this isn't the YMCA.

18: And so concludes our tale. I'm Leonard Nimoy. Good night, and keep watching the skis. Er, skies.

19: "You know, I don't think I ever heard the word 'embiggens' before coming to Springfield."

"I don't see why not. It's a perfectly cromulent word."

(Full credit for identifying either speaker. No, you don't get extra for naming both).

20: You kids might remember me from such educational films as ``Lead Paint, Delicious But Deadly'' and ``Here Comes the Metric System!''

[insert obligatory rant about Simpsons never jumping the shark]

Aw come on, you're missing great quotes from the current season.

Wasn't the quoted version something like "Lenny Neeboy"?

Not that I can recall for sure, but that may be what he means.

Bump. Haven't got as many responses as I'd like and also: El Capitan! Don't think making a snarky comment is going to get you out of anything! I expect answers from you by Sunday, dude.

Sent.  Now I'm going to call President Clinton and ask him where I can get some Tang.

Hey hey! Time's up, folks. Here are being the answers:

1: But my mom says I'm cool.

Milhouse, Burns' Heir. Burns specifically requested no nerds!

2: That monkey is going to pay.

Professor Frink, 22 Short Films About Springfield. Frink shows up too late in the episode to get his segment because of an accident at the lab.

3: I've said it before and I'll say it again: democracy simply doesn't work.

Kent Brockman, Bart's Comet. Congress is about to approve a bill to bail out Springfield's population, but the measure is shot down after a congressman adds a rider that would set aside $30 million "for the perverted arts."

4: You'd better run, egg!

Homer, Homer the Great. Stonecutters episode. One of those Egg Council guys got to Lenny, too.

5: Hello. I am not interested in buying your house, but I would like to use your restroom, flip through your magazines, rearrange your carefully shelved items and handle your food products in an unsanitary manner. Ha! Now you know how it feels!

Apu, You Only Move Twice. AKA the episode with Hank Scorpio.

6: My eyes! The goggles, they do nothing!

Rainier Wolfcastle, Radioactive Man. Almost everyone got this. Context is obvious is you recall the episode at all.

7: Rocky five plus Rocky two equals...Rocky VII, Adrian's Revenge!

Bart, Lemon of Troy. Yep, lemon tree episode, Bart is on the run from Shelbyvillians, etc.

8: Don't cry for me, I'm already dead.

Barney, A Star is Burns. Film festival episode, line is from Barney's movie.

9: "Sex Cauldron?" I thought they closed that place down!

Krusty, Grade School Confidential. AKA, the one where Skinner and Krabappel start dating (Krusty still fails at spelling). Number of people cited the burlesque house episode for this one.

10: Well, if it isn't my old friend Mr. McGreg, a leg for an arm and an arm for a leg.

Dr. Nick, Homer's Triple Bypass. Title is self-explanatory, no?

11: You want the truth? You can't handle the truth. No truth-handler, you. I deride your truth-handling abilities!

Sideshow Bob, Sideshow Bob Roberts. Bob rigs the election when he runs for mayor, etc.

12: I am the lizard queen!

Lisa, Selma's Choice. Selma takes Bart and Lisa to Duff Gardens, Lisa drinks the...not-water.

13: What IS your fascination with Daddy's Forbidden Closet of Mystery?

Chief Wiggum, This Little Wiggy. Bart is forced to endure a "play date" with Ralph, winds up getting some riot gear out of it.

14: My Homer is not a communist. He may be a liar, a pig, an idiot, a communist, but he is not a porn star!

Grandpa, Simpson Tide. Homer enters the navy, screws up as expected. "It's my first day." Also see Rozalia's avatar.

15: Thank the Lor -- thank the Lord?  That sounded like a prayer. A prayer. A prayer in a public school!  God has no place within these walls, just like facts have no place within organized religion.

Supernintendo Chalmers (most of you actually called him that. This makes me very happy), Sweet Seymour Skinner's Badasssss Song. AKA, the hundredth episode. Skinner gets fired and replaced with Ned Flanders.

16: Tastes like...burning!

Ralph, Das Bus. Lord of the Flies episode (Ralph eated the purple berries!)

17: Don't touch my stuff! ...Heeey, this isn't the YMCA.

Lionel Hutz, Marge on the Lam. Marge and the new neighbor go all Thelma & Louise, Lionel Hutz is appointed babysitter.

18: And so concludes our tale. I'm Leonard Nimoy. Good night, and keep watching the skis. Er, skies.

The squeaky-voiced teen (or the acne-scarred or pimple-faced teen, labels vary), reading from the script in The Springfield Files (alien sighting turns out to be Mr. Burns). While Lenoard Nimoy is in the episode, he ditches the narration two-thirds of the way through and joins the rest of the cast in the story. I did say I wasn't using celebrity cameos, right?

19: "You know, I don't think I ever heard the word 'embiggens' before coming to Springfield."

"I don't see why not. It's a perfectly cromulent word."

Ms. Krabappel and Ms. Hoover, Lisa the Iconoclast. Lisa discovers Jebediah Springfield was a pirate.

20: You kids might remember me from such educational films as ``Lead Paint, Delicious But Deadly'' and ``Here Comes the Metric System!''

Troy McClure, Bart's Friend Falls in Love. AKA, the one where Milhouse gets a girlfriend. McClure shows up in a sex ed video Bart's class watches, vowing to approach the matter "in a frank and straightforward manner," and then showing a cartoon about rabbits with muttonchop sideburns.

My 12 points were actually from my 12-year-old kid.  Not bad considering he wasn't even born when most of these aired.

Shucks. I should have guessed Homer's Triple Bypass, but I'd drawn a complete blank on the other ones I missed. Those being the episodes for 14, 17 and 20.

Ah, damn, I knew that episode had something to do with Homer in the hospital. I also knew that Troy McClure quote came from the sex-ed video but couldn't remember what the episode was about and didn't think that would count. Still, third place(by a sizable margin). Not bad considering the amount of love the show gets around here.
Don't think of it as a novel. Think of it as a chance to retroactively win every argument you have ever walked away from.

Man, I suck. Ah well, haven't seen an episode in something like six years, so I'm reasonably proud of not finishing last.

If it makes you feel better I probably would have gotten two at the most if I sent one in Fudo. And I've seen almost all those episodes. (Yes, I seriously did not remember the goggles line.)

Got every quote (although Lizard Queen was somewhat a stab in the dark), but am less than-stellar at pegging episodes. I can usually peg surrounding context, but not always the overarching plot (e.g. I knew Bart was on the run from something and needed roman numerals to avoid feline-related death. I did not recall why, and hence, what episode the incident occurred in). So ended up... 13/20 on those. Missed 1, 4, 7, 9, 12, 17, and 20 this way, it looks like.

Still, worse than Sopko, better than everyone else except possibly the Cid... probably what I would have guessed. Hats off to you, Sopko, you know way too much about the Simpsons, and coming from me, that's saying something.

Claiming to be the laziest person in THIS group?  That's quite a claim, there.  Then again, the real laziest person here is probably too lazy to dispute it. >_>
