Bob Guccione.

No.

Who Shot Mr. Burns? Part One

[Miss Springfield]

As was previously noted, that was in "Who Shot Mr. Burns?, Part 1." The reason was that he was trying to get Mr. Burns to remember his name. They were setting up several characters havinga reason to kill Mr. Burns. Homer's was how angry he was the Mr. Burns could never remeber his name.

The correct answer should've been Three Coins in the Fountain, which is a movie from the 1950s. The loins are another word for the reproductive organs, so that's why the elderly viewers are amused.

In "Way we Weren't", who said "Someday I'll right back, Osama?"

And where and which episode did Otto say "Sit down, you're ruining it for everyone!"

Homer, while looking through his memory box and coming across a letter from his penpal.

Trash Of The Titans, at the U2 concert.

I never got the joke at the beginning of moe baby blues, where only lisa laughs & asks everyone "d'you wanna know why that sign is so funny?"

(I'm guessing I ain't gonna find the joke too hilarious)

This is seriously bugging me. In Take My Wife, Sleaze while Homer and Marge are dancing, Homer throws Marge up into the sky. She re-enters the building several seconds later and says "Wow, a 50's Style Caf'e!". I don't get that Marge line. At all.

[George Cauldron]

This is a guess....I think that Marge being thrown so high up into the air caused her to think she'd gone back in time to the 1950s.

[Miss Springfield]

No its just because the whole thing was zany. She got thrown up so far that she went through the ceiling but how did she get back down again and why would she say oh a 50s nostalgia cafe when she got back. Like the rabbits in Homer the Moe. I don't get the sign thing either in Moe baby Blues.

Miss Springfield:

- Bob Guccione is the creator/publisher of the men's porn magazine "Penthouse", a more explicit type of mag than "Playboy". His monthly centerfold girls and regular models are called "Penthouse Pets".

- "Dr. Nick" was using Homer's term "fat guy hat" from "King-Size Homer" to indicate the type of white hat that the character in "Homer the Vigilante" was wearing. [BTW, Dr. Nick - that character was Buddy Hackett, which I mentioned.] The term "fat guy hat", itself, is not a reference from "Mad, Mad, Mad, World".

- "Our Stamens are a Pistil" is a joke on an old-fashioned type of store-window sign: "Our [whatever they sell] are a pistol!". "Pistol", as in "gun", was a term that also means "huge success". The twist is that pistils and stamens are the sexual reproductive organs of flowers, and the sign is at a botanical gardens. Yes, the joke is oblique, obscure, and not really 'funny' (subject to 'the Dennis Miller ratio',) - but that's entirely the point: Lisa finds it humourous, and no one else is remotely interested.

- The dance move is entirely a "cartoony" cartoon joke: Marge has gone through the ceiling (with no 'crash' or falling damage,) and has been thrown so strongly that she comes back in with no memory of what has just happened. No complicated explanation is necessary.

it means he is brandine's brother so yes you almost got it lol

Are you actually "lol" at someone else using an English word incorrectly?!? That in and of itself is far funnier that any of the jokes explained in this thread.

[Mario]

Hi, again! Just saw this on TV, in the "Canine mutiny", at the end, the police go into the blind man-with-drugs' house and start having a party. Joke?

[Butters]

They were smoking Mr. Mitchell (the blind man)'s drugs. It's a pretty simple joke. I don't think I can explain it any clearer. (well, I could, but I'm only one man.)

[Mario]

I feel like a fool for not getting that!

[mr. broom]

More crooked-cop behavior from Wiggum and the boys--rather than bust the man for having marijuana, it's implied that they're making him share it with them.

When they interview the characters (Marge in Maxim, Homer in that presidential poll), who makes the jokes? or who writes it? The writers or the people who voice the characters?

These types of 'print' promotional pieces, as well as the 'scripts' for videogames and video promotional appearances and commercials, are written by the lower-level writing staffers - typically the ones with the "story editor" and "story consultant" credits in the end-credits (in their 1st & 2nd seasons on the staff). They're reviewed and/or revised by other writers that wish to, and approved by Fox publicity, the showrunner and Matt. (The artwork for printed pieces is created by the Bongo art staff.)
