In Summer of 4 ft 2, what the hell is that thing Millhouse pets when he has no glasses on? It doesn't look like anything in particular

Also why did he place her into an all girl school?

In Brake My Wife Please when Apu told Marge Manjulia finally forgave him
for having the affair with the Squishe girl after getting out of Counsling why
did she elbow his stomach? Also why did Judge Harm revoke Homers license
when his car fell into the pier?

Her father cutting her off is meant to be a joke, because he asks her to explain what she was doing, but then won't let her, just as she begins to explain. he puts her in an all girl's school, so she won't get another boyfriend, like Milhouse.

I think Manjula elbowed Apu, because she didn't want the topic being discussed. She didn't want Marge to know they had gone to counselling, or she didn't want the topic of the affair to be brought up again. All though i cant quite remember how Homer drove his car off a pier, i assume he was driving wrecklessly, hence why Judge Harm would revoke his license

It was just some sort of seaside creature, something like a crab. i doubt the show's creators particularly knew when they drew it...

**Flimpson Tide** · 08-09-2005, 07:48 AM

I think Homer drove into the water because he had so much junk in his car and he was paying attention to what he had instead of driving.

"Marge vs. (Everybody)" - has Hank tell Bobby that he has propane in his urethra on TV

I assume you mean "Bart Star," where the family is at Bart's football game.

Which seasons are these in?
The one where they do the opening scene of king of kill.

**Wavy Gravy** · 08-09-2005, 09:59 AM

"Helter Shelter" aired in Season 14.

**chiefdan** · 08-09-2005, 07:43 PM

What was Marge talking about in "HOMR" when she said, "It seems like animated shows are everywhere these days...or were, a year ago."

**Andy** · 08-09-2005, 08:08 PM

Probably referring to the glut of short-lived animated shows that were on the air in network primetime in 1999/2000... lessee... God, the Devil and Bob... Stressed Eric... The PJs... Dilbert... Baby Blues... Home Movies... Mission Hill... The Oblongs...

'Bart Star', where they are at the football game aired in 1997 in Season 9

'Missionary: Impossible', where Hank takes donation calls aired in 2000 in Season 11

'Marge vs. Singles, Seniors, Childless Couples and teens and gays', where Hank tells Bobby that he has propane in his urethra aired in 2004 in Season 15

and, as wavy already said, 'Helter Shelter', which parodied the opening sequence, aired in 2002 in Season 14

A couple of questions:

How many times has the New Mexico joke been used? ("There's a NEW Mexico?")

Which was the episode where OOF went to France? (NOT Crepes of Wrath)

Bart-Mangled Banner from season 15

**~~Muppets Go Midevil~~** · 08-10-2005, 11:58 AM

I Thought that The " New Mexico" joke was from "30 Mins over Tokyo"

**SimpsonByte** · 08-10-2005, 12:36 PM

In "Little Big Mom", just before the ghost of Lucy appears, Lisa puts her matrass against the door to block out the noise from downstairs. She also mutters during that time. I can identify "Stupid" right at the beginning, and also the last bit of "Jerk, I can't believe it", but I can't identify anything else. Can someone please help?

**ricky326123** · 08-10-2005, 12:57 PM

i will look now... inconsiderat bunch of jerks

**SimpsonByte** · 08-10-2005, 01:02 PM

Ah..."stupid inconsiderate bunch of jerks, I can't believe it". That makes sense. Thanks a bunch.

Also, to answer another question...what Milhouse stroked in "Summer of 4ft 2" was, in fact, a Horseshoe Crab. Not a real crab at all, this 'living fossil' is more closely related to spiders.

**Maxxmuscle** · 08-10-2005, 01:34 PM

In Bart gets Famous when Bart was showing his friends that he works for
Krusty why did Nelson punch him and tell him thats for taking credit for other
peoples work and then he and his friends walked out of his house?

In Itchy Scratchy and Poochie when the poeple did not like Homers new
character Poochie and started to leave the house why did Nelson punch
Bart in the arm? Also when Homer was trying to tell Bart, Lisa and Marge
about the cartoon why did they all go upstairs to bed without having dinner?

In Brother from Another Series what was the joke about Wiggum saying that
Lou said Bob resisted arrest when he explained to Wiggum that he caught
Cecil?

**ricky326123** · 08-10-2005, 01:56 PM

1) cus' while barts pointing to the tv where it shows his name the other kids say its not him
2) thay walked out as soon as i&s finished nelson is a bully so he'll hit for any excus, lisa and bart to upstairs without dinner cus thay dont' want to talk about poochi
3) can't remember but ithink wiggum said that bob resisted aresset just to aresst him(even tho he saved lisa and bart) and lou said that it was celil

**Central Scrutinizer** · 08-10-2005, 04:57 PM

What episode is this Wiggum quote from?:

"Suspect is driving a...car...of some sort."

**Andy** · 08-10-2005, 05:18 PM

Homer's Triple Bypass, during the "Cops in Springfield" scene.

Full quote: "This is Papa Bear. Put out an APB for a male suspect, driving a... car... of some sort, heading in the direction of... you know, that place that sells chili. Suspect is hatless. Repeat, hatless."

**st3vo** · 08-10-2005, 07:23 PM

In The Twisted World of Marge Simpson when Homer and Marge open the door expecting Fat Tony, but find Grampa, he says "I had that dream again!". Are we suppose to know what his dream was, as if there is a common recurring dream among old people? Or is this a reference to something?

**Green_Peaness** · 08-10-2005, 10:15 PM

I've got a question of my own (sorry st3vo, don't know that one)

Does anyone know when the acronym "OFF" originated? Looking at the snpp archives, people were using it back around the 5th and 6th seasons! I assume it was around a bit before that. Also, where did it come from and who coined it? Random internet guy, or someone on the staff?

**Sloppy Jimbo XOX** · 08-10-2005, 10:26 PM

um, what the hell happened to my post?

i answered that st3vo guy.

It was also in Separate Vocations, when Eddie said it. "We are in pursuit of a speeding individual, driving a red...car."

I think it might have been the book first: A Complete Guide to Our Favourite Family, but it may have originated before that.

**Dances In Underwear** · 08-11-2005, 02:42 AM

Too bad he said that it was being used in the 5th Season and the Complete Guide didn't come out until season 9 at the earliest.

I got a chance to read your post before it disappeared. Thanks Jimbo.

**Nowhere_Man** · 08-11-2005, 07:39 AM

This is probably a dumb question but I've always wondered, in Lisa's First Word after the part where Abe decides to buy Homer the house and Bart asks how long before they sent grampa to the old folks home and Homer says "about three weeks," well after he says that they all laugh, the weird thing is I hear Grampa laughing in the mix of their laughing but Grampa isn't in the scene. I've seen this episode like 20-30 times because of my nephew and everytime I see that part I always wonder why Grampas laugh is heard.

**~~Muppets Go Midevil~~** · 08-11-2005, 07:48 AM

How Many Episodes have there Been of OFF on TV 355/356/357 ?

**Jag-omatic** · 08-11-2005, 07:52 AM

theres one where the simpsons act as king of the hill the beggining its the one where they go on the reality tv show

**Dorkus Malorkus** · 08-11-2005, 07:56 AM

Nowhere Man, I have never heard it, and i doubt that if you can hear grampa's laugh it was intentional. so...either you're hearing things, or it was an unintentional mistake by the production crew. you were probably hearing marge or someone...

There have been 356 episodes that have aired on US Television

**Jag-omatic** · 08-11-2005, 07:57 AM

Does anybody know the longest episode of the simpsons

**Dorkus Malorkus** · 08-11-2005, 07:59 AM

no, but i can tell you the shortest is There's No Disgace like Home from season 1. there are no feature-length episodes that are longer than about 22 minutes without commercials. however, there has been one two-parter, Who Shot Mr. Burns?
