[Oh, that's raspberry!]

Hey I've actually got one I think I know the answer for. At the end of Treehouse of Horror V when they're all dancing inside out who is the guy with the hat and cane supposed to be? Is it Willie? I never realized that until last year and on my millionth watch of the episode if so...

[LittleMissLisaSimpson]

It is Willie.

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

As a kid I can remember always finding it odd that some random guy just hops in but Willie does make sense since he was killed in all 3 segments that year.

In Beyond Blundersome, why is Lisa so pissed at Homer for pretending to care about the environment to get a electric car? Fact is you do not need to be a tree-hugger to even get an electric car cause you're still saving the environment!

[Jesse Pinkman]

lisa cares about the environment and is happy that she thinks her dad does; it could've been something they could bond over. but then she finds out that he's faking it and is disappointed. i haven't seen it in a while but i don't remember her really being pissed off

Every time I've seen Mr. Plow, this is what I see.

Homer: Flanders, I thought I was your plow man.
Flanders: Uh, Homer... why don't you plow it again?

Yet my episode guide tells me that Flanders says something like "Uh, Homer, y'know, I think that other fella didn't do such a great job. Why don't you plow it again?" Yet on my DVD box set and on TV, the former is what I see. Is there any reason for this, at all? The former dialogue sounds really stilted and awkward, and I'm baffled as to why it would be edited, if it ever was in the first place.

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

Plow man sounds like someone's taking it up the butt so sensors probably made them change it...

[Prune Tracy]

No, I still get the "plow man" part, I just don't get what Flanders said in between. It might still be toning down the innuendo, but that's a really strange innuendo... I've never heard it before.

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

Oh well you know syndication cuts for more commercials and all that'd be my guess then...

[Prune Tracy]

Yeah, but it cuts it on my DVD too...

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

well it is possible the dvd transfer was from a syndication cut copy. Dude Where's My Ranch on DVD is missing a scene. It still seems weird to me though...

[Prune Tracy]

I guess that's it.

[The Dreaded Rear Admiral]

Okay this has been killing me for the longest time. Can anyone tell me the episode in which Homer's bad conscience kills his good conscience by throwing his pitchfork at it when the good conscience threatens to tattle on him. I can't remember what the whole argument was about, but it ended with the bad conscience telling Homer something like, "Now we're in this together."

The Frying Game

[The Dreaded Rear Admiral]

That was it, thanks Sheba! Don't know how long I had been googling to try and figure that out, knew I had to call in the big guns to get the answer!

[Financial Panther]

No problemo.

This is driving me mad. There's an episode where Milhouse is on his way to the Simpsons and he's being chased by a ray of sunlight that's burning a hole into everything. He says, "Please let me in, the sun's doing that thing again," I think. Whenever I search for it on Google all I get is the episode where Mr. Burns tries to block the sun.

[Jesse Pinkman]

sounds like it might be Grift of the Magi from s11

[rdholmantx]

Thanks! *goes to look*

[LittleMissLisaSimpson]

Which episode was it where Homer says "come iiiiiiiiiiiin!" to Flanders at their door (I think) in a really girly voice, just after he's had a rant about him?

[Blobulle]

Lisa The Tree Hugger.

On The Simpsons Movie DVD, there's a season 19 preview. They show a clip of a rat tap dancing or something in Moe's bar, and Moe hitting it. Does anyone know what I mean? Did they ever use this in an episode, because I don't remember it at all.

[Jesse Pinkman]

I know what you're talking about, but I don't remember if it was in an episode. I don't think so but I haven't seen s19 in a long time

I recall seeing the clip on the DVD but never in an episode. It probably became a deleted scene.

EDIT: Thinking about it more there's an episode where Homer cooks with rats spoofing Ratatouille, but I think it is Gone Maggie Gone if memory serves which was an HD episode so I doubt it was the same as the clip was from, but if I'm wrong and that rat stuff was in a Season 19 episode then the clip probably was a deleted scene from that episode...

Thank you! Been looking for this for ages.

Hi guys, first poster here.

Forever I've been trying to find the name of this episode and googling haven't yielded any results yet. Here goes:

Noah is building an ark, and when God tells him to take with him two animals, one of each sex of every species and so on, Noah is real slack about it, writing on a notepad and is like "two animals.." and God gets pissed and corrects him "two of EVERY animal" and Noah asks something like "even the mexican burrowing frog?" and God says "ESPECIALLY the mexican burrowing frog" while pointing his finger put of the sky and stuff. Classic stuff ^^

Well it wasn't the mexican burrowing frog precisely but some strange animal. Would really appreciate some help on this!

[Jesse Pinkman]
