What episode begins with The Simpsons family going to the Qwik-E-Mart during the daily robbery. Homers whispers to Apu, and then gets mad that his prices are too high?

Just asking again...

It's a pun on the story title "Gift of the Magi". To grift is to "obtain by swindling or cheating", as read on thefreedictionary.com. Admittedly, I'm not 100% sure how grifting ties into the episode, it's been a while since I've seen it.

**Comicshow MolemanBob** · 07-29-2010, 09:49 AM

**The,Bart,The** · 07-29-2010, 10:12 AM

d'oh: Expressing frustration at the realization that things have turned out badly or not as planned, or that one has just said or done something foolish. Also (usu. mildly derogatory): implying that another person has said or done something foolish

so basically homer says it whenever he makes an ass of himself

**♩ ♪ ♫ ♬** · 07-29-2010, 07:36 PM

During the voice recording session for a Tracey Ullman Show short, Homer was required to utter what was written in the script as an "annoyed grunt". Dan Castellaneta rendered it as a drawn out "d'ooooooh". This was inspired by Jimmy Finlayson, the mustachioed Scottish actor who appeared in 33 Laurel and Hardy films. Finlayson had used the term as a minced oath for suggesting the word "Damn!" without actually saying it. Matt Groening felt that it would better suit the timing of animation if it were spoken faster. Castellaneta then shortened it to a quickly uttered "D'oh!"

**The,Bart,The** · 07-30-2010, 10:48 AM

oh wow are you guys serious

answer the first question please

**hughes** · 07-30-2010, 10:53 AM

Eddie's puking because he sees the truly disturbing sight of a morbidly obese man getting it on with an old wrinkled lady, Lou is trying to comfort him

**The,Bart,The** · 07-30-2010, 11:53 AM

uh yeah but what lou says to eddie is really weird and doesn't make any sense

**~~Bella Drape 'er~~** · 07-30-2010, 12:01 PM

Lou: "It's okay, man. If it doesn't affect you...you're not human."

Lou is comforting him by saying any human would be repulsed by that sight, and that as a human being he has nothing to be ashamed about.

**The,Bart,The** · 07-30-2010, 12:05 PM

Oh i guess i heard it wrong, i didn't hear the "if"

lol oops

**Spiral9** · 07-30-2010, 06:56 PM

In what episode does Homer hand a store clerk a check and then go "Booooinnnggggg" (A bouncy-sound), causing the clerk to ask him something like "Is this check going to bounce?" I cannot for the life of me find this 10-second bit of an episode and its driving me INSANE!

**~~Bella Drape 'er~~** · 07-31-2010, 02:44 AM

Scuse me while I miss the sky... (season 14)

**Spiral9** · 07-31-2010, 07:08 AM

Thanks so much! I didn't know it was that late in the series. Seriously, thank you very much!

**~~Bella Drape 'er~~** · 07-31-2010, 08:41 AM

no problem.

**Sabu800** · 07-31-2010, 11:37 PM

I'm having trouble remembering this one episode.

There is a hilarious moment when Homer I believe wakes up from a dream terrified or it may even be he runs into the house.

Anyways

he talks to Marge scared/Panicked and he says something to the effect of

"Thats him! That's the guy"

*He points to a goofy looking photo of Bart*

"You mean Bart, our son?" - Marge

"yeah....bart" - Homer

If anyone could give me an episode name it'd be great

I recreated this the best I could from my memory so bear with me.

Tennis the Menace

That's definitely it. I'm actually thinking there may have been another similar incident where Homer points at a picture of bart.

This one in Tennis the Menace doesnt feature any dialogue with Marge and I know one did.

**Dark Homer** · 08-01-2010, 12:58 AM

there's a similar deleted scene where homer wrestles with his pillow... all i know is that it's from seasons 2-8

That would be Season 19's Midnight Towboy. It's when Marge is on the computer looking for sites to deal with clingy babies. Marge accidentally buys two freezers. "Well, maybe I wanted another freezer!"

**Comicshow MolemanBob** · 08-02-2010, 08:57 AM

^Thanks for the info
