Most underrated jokes

[CousinMerl]

Homer: I can't believe your mother went out to have fun without me.
Bart: Don't worry, You'll feel better once we put your hair up in curlers and give you a makeover, Homina.
Homer: (in falsetto voice) Oh, that would be delightful-- (realizes) Quiet, boy!

[General Jack D. Ripper]

Another day, another box of stolen pens!

[LuxFixxins]

"Over time for bag boys?"

[Jesse Pinkman]

Spider poison is people poison?! {or something to that extent}

[Orange Harrison]

Hello, Patty or Selma

[Disgruntled Goat]

Grampa: The town of Springfield was born on that day, and to mark that sweet moment, our people planted this lemon tree, lemons being the sweetest fruit available at the time.

[Otm Shank]

Smuggled Vegetables: The E-Z Road to success?

It's underrated because it's cut in syndication. I never saw the joke until more than a decade after it first aired and laughed myself silly.

[Mt. Doom]

The fact that hearing that Flanders has old paint cans in his garage makes Homer laugh hysterically

[Disgruntled Goat]

Recently remembered this line:

Homer: We could build snowmen.
Burns: I have a better idea: we could build real men, out of snow!

[LaddyHomer]

Ralph Wiggum: (sitting in his bed in the street after a tidal wave) I wet my bed. (Sideshow Bob Returns)

Another one from Lisa the Vegetarian

Homer: Bart go to your room!

Lisa: Why don't you just eat him!

Since Homer was mad at Lisa, I'll bet Homer wanted to eat Lisa for ruining his barbecue.

[Wee Turtles!!]

The wanted poster gag from the movie

[Dark Homer]

anyone who didn't see that gag coming from a mile away had never watched the simpsons before

[cinco]

Oh Diablo Canyon one, why can't you be more like Diablo canyon two?

[altoids30]

Homer reacting with "Who paid for that wedding??" after Lisa explained Oedipus to him in "Tennis The Menace".

[Jeez]

After spending the afternoon reading this whole post, I couldn't help but sign up to this forum and contribute! Now I'm not sure if they are underrated or not, but anyway, I rarely hear anyone else laugh at them!

Marge, from 'The Twisted World of Marge Simpson'
"Look at them! They've jumped on the one franchise I might possibly have
considered thinking about becoming interested in"


Lisa, from 'Bart on the Road'
"That's not Latin!" (humour is in the delivery, I believe)


From Scenes from the Class Struggle in Springfield
"Where exactly will you be attaching them to that mangled Chanel suit?"

[Granto]

Lisa, from 'Bart on the Road'
"That's not Latin!" (humour is in the delivery, I believe)

one of my all time favourites

I Married Marge has one where Homer and Marge are discussing what to name their child if it's a boy and when Marge calls off names, Homer says a word that rhymes with it that could cause teasing.

When Marge suggests Bart, Homer says Art, Bart, Cart, Dart, E-art and does not object. The word that comes after E-art was not spoken in an episode until I believe the "Chili Pepper" episode. ("Less Artsy, More Fartsy" is the quote)

Bart's Inner Child has a line from Krusty giving the first line of a dirty limerick "There once was a man named ennis". The word penis was not spoken in an episode until "Homer the Moe" and has been spoken in a bunch of episodes and the movie.

Are there any other incidents of this "give a hint on the word to drive the censors nuts and then say it years later?"

so... they weren't allowed to say "fart"? I thought that joke was Homer skipped over some badder words that rhymed with Bart and just randomly stopped

[Real Melvin]

it wasn't that they weren't allowed to say fart

the joke is that Homer wanted to make sure his kid didn't have a name he'd be picked on for, but Homer accidentally does just that. he rejects some of Marge's suggestions making up pretty weak/tenuous reasons one name would get him made fun of. with Bart, (which obviously rhymes with Fart and he'd get made fun of), to figure out if it's a doable name, he checks "Art Cart Dart Eart" and is content with it before he thinks of Fart.

which is funny, even if the way it's written out it doesn't really seem too hilarious.

Fat New Orleans Chef: "I guarantee"

Principle Skinner: "Will you stop saying that"

Another good one, I don't know the exact quote but it goes something like

" I think we should be given advanced schedules of school lunches, I don't like the idea of Millhouse having two spaghetti meals in one day" - Kirk Vanhoutten

[macca]

From "Mayored to the Mob" when Homer is training to become a bodyguard:

"From now on, your only loyalty will be to your protectee. Not to your family, not to your country, not to MOOO-hammed!"

Homer: "Not even during Ramadan?"

In "Homer's Triple Bypass" when they're trying to find $40,000

Homer: How much money is in savings?
Marge: Seventy dollars
Homer: Any $40,000 checks that haven't cleared yet?

That's exactly what I meant by my other post. He skipped words like "fart" because he did not think of them, hence the joke being that there are reasons kids could make fun of Bart

[MILPOOL...]

"In a way, you're both winners. But in another, more accurate way, Barney is the winner."

[cinco]

Principal Skinner: "Milhouse! Lower those eyebrows!"

...

Principal Skinner: "And the other one!"

[Disgruntled Goat]

"In a way, you're both winners. But in another, more accurate way, Barney is the winner."

I remember Jonathan Ross stealing that joke when he presented the BAFTAs or something. "In a way, you're all winners. But in another, more accurate way, most of you aren't."

Homer Goes To College: I've been working on a plan. During the exam, I'll hide under some coats, and hope that somehow everything will work out.
