[Oh, that's raspberry!]

also, how quick are episodes added online? now that i'm done with school i wanna watch the rest of the season. i especially wanna watch tonight's episode as soon as possible (but i will be working when it's on).

New episodes, last time I checked, were added to Hulu a week after they aired. If you have Comcast On Demand they're usually up the next day.

When does bart get his fist stuck in his mouth?

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

In "Duffless" when he's trying to show Lisa "what he can do".

"Dog-gone it!"

at the beginning of Special Eda, why is the class pissed at Martin when he asks if he can type his paper and then edna makes it so everyone has to? maybe it's because i type all my assignments, but surely that would be easier than writing? i can obviously understand the page-length joke, but why is everyone mad about typing?

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

I thought he was asking that no one could type it.

[Jesse Pinkman]

he asks if he can type because it would be "easier on teacher's eyes", then edna says "good idea martin" and makes it so everyone has to type

Actually, the typed page can hold more words so the assignment becomes longer. The joke is just that, if the assignment were hand written you could use giant penmanship and so on.

That's sort of an unusual joke in that's it's a little dated in this day and age when younger people are using computers. When I was younger, it was generally considered more trouble and more time-consuming to type something out than to write it by hand. After middle school, I learned how to type quickly and it became more convenient, but before then it is (was) much simpler for kids to simply write out their paper than type it.

What's also kind of funny is that that joke was as late as S14, pretty much the latest time they could have that aspect work without it being confusing.

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

If I recall correctly I don't think my family even owned a computer back when that season aired, took a couple more years. I'm still a horrible typist though....

[That Random Derp]

Hey guys, just registered to this forum after finding it through Google. I really need help with one particular episode I'd like to rewatch, it's just that I don't remember much of it and especially not the name. A million thanks to anyone who help me.

What I remember of it is: Edna Krabappel is standing outside of the Springfield Elementary School and this funny looking leather jacket guy walks in while saying "Edna K" with a long K, then this big black guy with a red shirt walks in (Fat Albert?) saying "Hey hey hey" with a very deep voice.

What is the name of that episode?

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

Season 13, Poppa's Got a Brand New Badge

The references are to Fat Albert and The Fonz from Happy Days.

You have my eternal gratitude! [I'm gonna have to take a rain check on those million thanks, though, it's gonna take a while ]

[Krusty81]

Hey guys,

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me which episode this picture came from?



Thanks in advance.

[L. Hutz]

Lisa the Tree Hugger from season 12.

Thanks very much.

In The Fat and the Furriest, when Homer has a wig of cotton candy, he says, "Only my hairdresser knows for sure." I don't understand that at all.

[zach]

women talking about their hair. only their hairdresser would know if it's real or coloured. "only his hairdresser would know if the wig is real." that's what i think anyway.

i remember the line on a commercial too.

[Financial Panther]

Ah, thank you.

[Mozy]

I wonder why Moe was taken out at the end. Is this a possible way of cutting back on salary?

It was just a stupid joke.

I have something that stayed with me for a while: How come Marge (and to a lesser extent Homer) still be nice to Patty & Selma. They are often rude and don't even give Homer a chance. They don't even treat Bart and Lisa well. Sure they are smokers that care little for anyone but you'd think they'd be nice to Homer, and Marge would even begin to realize that her sisters aren't as nice as the seem to be. (As I recall she shrugs off the moment where Patty threw a cigarette on Homer's eye.) This may seem a bit extreme but am I the only one wondering?

[krzak]

I think She's still nice to them, because They're her older sisters, we can see how she's staring at them when she was child otherwise they're family, also she know that Homer isn't nice to them too, They hate each other. Personally I've got something like this on my home ( My dad & grandma) except this situation with children. You know Simpsons are comedy series, so those situations are exaggerate.

[Jesse Pinkman]

homer is mean to them and they retailiate. they think he's a loser and he just likes to be mean to them. they think he'll never amount to anything and no matter what he does they still think this. overtime this would culminate and make him be a dick to them every now and then. marge doesn't really care because she's used to it, and it's not like she can pick sides, since homer is her husband and patty and selma are her older sisters, so he just lets them be. as long as they aren't killing each other she has no reason to worry

Hi all,

Something has been bothering me. Season 2, Episode 8 Bart the Daredevil. Has this been cut for DVD? I am positive we used to see Homers second fall into the Gorge. He had rolled out of the Ambulance, and much like the first fall, we saw him hit rocks and sharp edges, while still wrapped up in a blanket. We then saw him hit the floor, and then the Stretcher smacks him in the back of the head.

Has this been cut because it was too violent? or am I just insane and remembering my childhood wrong.

I am also certain his first fall has been shortened too. Would love to know if someone else remembers seeing the second fall in detail.

[Financial Panther]

The fall in its entirety was shown in So It's Come to This: A Simpsons Clip Show; I'm not sure if it was originally cut from Bart the Daredevil, or simply created when they were making the clip show.

EDIT: I just looked it up; it was animated specifically for the clip show.

Thank you Finacial Panther. I guess that must be where I got the memory from, I just checked that episode clip and it does look totally different than the Season 2 episode. Crazy how you remember stuff different.

[Financial Panther]

Glad to be of service.

[zach]

what treehouse of horror is the one where bart is with kang and kodos and they use the theme song from the tv show Perfect Strangers?

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

XV from Season 16 in the opening bit called "Keepin' It Kodos." I love that entire opening.

I think they use it again over the end credits but could be wrong.

[zach]

thank you sir!
