Ask Simpsons Questions Here (Jokes We Don't Get, Which Episode, etc.)

[Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabado]

Does anybody know the name of the musical piece in Dial 'N' For Nerder when Homer was at the Sleep-Eazy motel?

[alientje16]

Hi, i'm kinda new here so i'm still figuring it all out, and i hope i'm not off-topic (sorry if the spellling bad, i'm from Belgium)

but anyway; in the episode ''24 minutes'' does anybody know what swear word Skinner teaches Bart?

[sung]

No one knows, it's just a joke used in the episode. All we can do is guessing

[arii]

It was probably "prick".

[Mindy Simmons]

Thanks for filling me in on the episode info I listed. Now here's some more:

-A man wakes up from a decades-long coma and asks about Sonny and Cher. When he's informed that Cher won an Oscar and Sonny went into politics, he shouts,"Good night!" and flatlines.

-The Simpsons are at a convention for the TV show Bonanza

-The Simpsons are watching a politically correct version of "All in the Family"

-For some reason, Homer has filled his car with a ton of stuff, including a record player which he uses to scratch a record and rap about Chaka Kahn.

-Sideshow Bob has hypnotized Bart ("You are under my control" "I am at your command." "I didn't say anything about command...")

-Homer gets his stomach slashed open by a raccoon *shudder*

-Frank Grimes Jr. tries to kill Homer

-"Rawk! Polly shouldn't be!"

-Patty refers to someone as "assanova"

[Andy]

-The Simpsons are at a convention for the TV show Bonanza

the homer they fall -- the event is at the mall, which is followed by them going to the Miscellaneous, Etc store, where bart gets the ultimate belt

-Sideshow Bob has hypnotized Bart ("You are under my control" "I am at your command." "I didn't say anything about command...")

day of the jackanapes -- sideshow bob hypnotizes bart so he can destroy krusty.

-Frank Grimes Jr. tries to kill Homer

the great louse detective -- another SSB episode; bob is hired to help homer find out who is trying to kill him (it's frank grimes jr. trying to get revenge for homer driving frank grimes sr. to a seemingly accidental suicide).

-A man wakes up from a decades-long coma and asks about Sonny and Cher. When he's informed that Cher won an Oscar and Sonny went into politics, he shouts,"Good night!" and flatlines.

In season 8's "The Springfield Files" they show this on the news just before they show the close encounter of the blurred kind.

-The Simpsons are watching a politically correct version of "All in the Family"

Sorry, I don't remember which episode this is. However there is a parody of All in the Family's theme song, "Those Were the Days", in season 9's "Lisa's Sax".

-For some reason, Homer has filled his car with a ton of stuff, including a record player which he uses to scratch a record and rap about Chaka Kahn.

Season 14's "Brake My Wife, Please". There is a series of events in which Homer gets a mobile phone, goes to purchase a hands-free kit for his car, and ends up being suckered by the store clerk to buy all sorts of other ridiculous appliances which he can plug into his car's cigarette lighter.

-Homer gets his stomach slashed open by a raccoon *shudder*

Season 12's "A Tale of Two Springfields" begins with a badger in the doghouse. The plot relevant to the episode title begins when Homer phones animal control.

-"Rawk! Polly shouldn't be!"

Spoken by the octoparrot in season 12's "HOMЯ". That's the Cyrillic letter Ya, which looks like a backwards R.

-Patty refers to someone as "assanova"

I don't personally remember the line, but I did some research, and it's apparently season 17's "Regarding Margie". Marge passes out from the fumes emitted by mixed cleaning chemicals and awakens suffering from amnesia.

[gonzo]

Just a quick question which came to mind when I was watching The Springfield Files earlier today. Is the gag about Milhouse paying 10 dollars to play the arcade game of the movie Water World and ending with a game over after making to steps supposed to be a reference to anything? If so, would anybody care to explain?

[Clobber Girl]

Just google the history of Waterworld. A movie that ran well over budget, being the most expensive production at that point. Considered a box office bomb but it did recoup the budget once international returns came in. At least it was able to be part of the great record of Costner folly-bashing on the Simpsons.

[überweiss]

Which episode is it where Homer's in hospital and says "I remember like it was yesterday". Marge then says: "Homer, it was today", or something to that effect.

[Evil Jebus]

"Children of a Lesser Clod", season 12. It was actually Dr. Hibbert.

[überweiss]

Oh OK. Thanks

Sets of questions:
+ What is the song Bart was strutting to after being invited by Jessica in 'Bart's Girlfriend'?
+ Why is Burns' line "I got a rocket in my pocket" considered as a sex joke?
+ What is the song that was played in the scene that illustrated Marge's hair loss in 'Simpsoncalifragilexplanad'ohcious'?
+ Why did Homer insist Marge to keep the umbrella on her hair in the same episode?

[Evil Jebus]

1. "Staying Alive" by the Bee Gees.
2. A "rocket in your pocket" would be a reference to your dick.
3. "Hair" by... I dunno.
4. Homer just seemed to think it would be kinky for some reason. I don't think there's a really specific answer beyond that.

Oh OK. Thanks

No problemo.

[Larson Something]

3. "Hair" by... I dunno.

The Cowsills.

[McClure]

I've seen the tatoo parlor worker in "Simpsons Roasting" referred to as "Mervin Monroe" by some fans and I've always wondered if this is an official name or a fan given name.

[the real comic book guy]

skybox trading card series II from 1994

tattoo guy
real name: mervin monroe
bio: the younger brother of talk-show psychiatrist dr. marvin monroe. mervin was the prime subject for all of marvin's early experiments. ...

[Heub]

In He Loves To Fly and he D'ohs when Homer is seen telling the end of a joke to the rich Texan that goes like this :

So she said " That's not my in-box".
And he said "that's not the Johnson report"

The Rich Texan then laughs out loud because that's a joke he's just told Homer but is there something to understand and are we supposed to know what the beginning of the joke would be or are they just random lines ?

[sung]

Can anyone tell me what is the title of that song Itchy was dancing to while spraying Scratchy with oil in 'Reservor Cats' of "Simpsoncalifragilisticexialad'ohcious', thanks

[arii]

Stuck in the Middle With You by Stealers Wheel. The same song was used in the actual film Reservoir Dogs during the ear-cutting scene, which is what that Itchy and Scratchy bit is parodying.

[Sana]

-The Simpsons are watching a politically correct version of "All in the Family"

All right, I think I've got it. In season ten's "Homer to the Max", it's one of the midseason previews they watch before watching "Police Cops".

[hc7]

Which episode was this scenario in?

The family were out somewhere, and marge/homer lost control of their car and they were like "argh" then suddenly Bart was in the driver seat (complete with driving gloves) reversing it, and said "I got it!"

Just suddenly came to me, and I feel like watching it. Ta!

[kelly]

In 30 minutes over Tokyo, what color is the waiters UCLA Yankee Cola tshirt? And what color are the letters? And are they all caps or lower case or what? If someone has a picture of it, that would be awesome.

[danceofillusions]

In the episode "My Sister, My Sitter" when Lisa takes Bart to Dr. Nick's clinic, Lisa asks if she can go in front of Mr. Smithers, but he refuses because he wants something to be taken care of. Anyone know what this joke is referring to? I just don't get it.

[BigStripyLie]

^ Smithers was holding a empty pet cage at the time, and It's implied that he'd stuck a gerbil up his 'behind', as this was an urban legend regarding homosexuals and Richard Gere at the time.
