I think its a parody of the Rosie the Riveter posters from WWII, but also is a generic parody of WWII posters in that art-decoish style

Two Which Episode? questions

1)Which ToH had an introduction by Homer and something with his silhoutte...forgot what it was parodying

2)Which episode had Moe getting a girlfriend (not from the Spin-off Showcase)?

3)Which episode had "Must.....kill...moe.....WHEEE!" as Homer rode a shopping cart

3)Which episode had "Must.....kill...moe.....WHEEE!" as Homer rode a shopping cart

1) The opening is from THOH III (in season 4). I remember because I watched it last night. I dont know what exactly it is parodying though.

2) Dumbbell Indemnity from Season 9.

3) Is it Flaming Moe's? That's the only episode I can think of that Homer wants to get revenge at Moe.

**Nebuchanezzar** · 09-29-2006, 02:24 AM

The answer to number 3 is also Dumbell Indemnity. One of the funniest parts to the episode IMO.

**Charlie** · 09-29-2006, 02:29 AM

I haven't even seen the episode, so that's why I didn't know that one

I only knew the Moe dating thing from reading the episode's pages in The Simpsons Forever </shameless plug>

This question has been asked a lot...

See, now I would have done that, but the search never works when I do it...

And BrideofMoleman: the opening to THOH III was parodying "Alfred Hitchcock Presents". Here's a YouTube vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvjZIna1VX4

Right! I think Honeymooners did a parody of it too...because I remember seeing something like that during one of my midnight viewings...

Thanks for your help guys. Now if you excuse me...

"Must....kill....Moe....WHEEEEE!"

**The Real Brian McGee** · 09-29-2006, 04:35 PM

In "El viaje mysterioso de nuestro jomer" At the end of the episode when marge screws in the lightbulb and the sea captain sees it he says "Johnathan Livingston Seagull" ill google it myself. tell me if its just a random joke or a reference to something.

**The Real Brian McGee** · 09-29-2006, 04:42 PM

I answered my own question by going to wikipedia and I found out it was abook by richard bach in the sevendies. itis about some guy who is obesessed with flight and does some stuffheres a link if you want to read morehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonatha...ngston_Seagull

**BrideofMoleman** · 09-30-2006, 09:57 AM

Heh, that night, Dumbbell Idemnity came on. Oh the ironing.

New question. At the end of Two Bad Neighbors, who was that Russian guy and what was with the red stain on his head?

**Adam R** · 09-30-2006, 09:58 AM

**Charlie** · 10-02-2006, 02:15 AM

What is the episode where Marge and Homer in bed and Marge talks to Homer, but all he does is burp or something?

**Ryan_** · 10-02-2006, 02:51 AM

i believe its "Another Simpsons Clip Show" - if you mean when they're in bed and Marge asks for some sign that he's awake

**Charlie** · 10-02-2006, 02:54 AM

I think so, I'll check the DVD later to see if it is

Thanks Ryan.

**poochied-d** · 10-02-2006, 04:52 PM

This is kinda off topic, but are their any easter eggs for season 7? I can't find any. Also, on the commentary for 22 short films, they mention a Lional Hutz bit as well as a prfesser Frink bit. are those on the dvd?

**sung** · 10-02-2006, 04:56 PM

What's that episode that Marge turns paranoid on life savings after watching a film about a woman whose husband died without insurance?

No. Bill and Josh also mentioned here in one of their Q&A threads that a scene from the same episode with Ralph was cut, but was meant to be in deleted scenes (they said they remember doing the commentary for that certain deleted scene), but it was never included on the set.

Season 16, Mobile Homer.

**Ryan_** · 10-02-2006, 08:42 PM

Im pretty sure you can see some of the cut scenes in the animatic feature.

But isnt the animatic for Summer of 4 ft. 2 and not for 22 Short Films?

**Friedman.Has.A.Point** · 10-03-2006, 08:53 AM

Umm... can someone suggest me some emotional episodes in the later seasons (after nine). One that is emotional but not boring.

I thought Lisa's First Word, Scenes of a class struggle in Springfield and Seperate Vocations emotional. Not so much a fan of Homer-Marge romance episodes though (I didn't really like I Married Marge and The Way We Were as much as the others did).

And is there an episode that centers, or kinda centers around Maude Flanders, beside the one where she dies???

Welcome to Praiseland (which I think is season 12). Even though she is already dead in that episode, there is still a lot focus on her.

Bart The Mother is the only one I can think of.

There are some suggestions in this thread: http://www.nohomers.net/showthread.php?t=57984

**Itchy** · 10-04-2006, 03:46 AM

In Brother from the Same Planet there's a scene were Bart gives Homer an angry look and Homer starts to rot while the background start to burn. What was that a reference to?

**jim** · 10-04-2006, 06:20 PM

I dont know if its referencing anything specific, it might be, but that sort of thing has been used in a lot of movies. A similar thing was done with how Homer sees the family in "There's No Disgrace Like Home".

**moed'oh** · 10-05-2006, 05:17 AM

which episode and season was it when marge gave money to a homeless man and said he would "buy a suit.....of drugs!"?

**wallet inspector** · 10-05-2006, 05:38 AM

that was the episode the Bart moved out and became friends with Tony Hawk. all i know is the episode was a significant number, i'm thinking 300 maybe? Marge had the clicker for crazy things Homer had done and it was on about 300.

**Homer Jay** · 10-05-2006, 06:39 AM

The episode is Barting Over, it was hyped as the 300th episode, but it was really number 302
