JA2340 16 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Not so, Tubby. Homer is a drawing. (actually a whole lot of drawings each just a little different from the others) Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 No, Homer is the role model we all hoped to be but alas fall short of. Link to post Share on other sites

JA2340 16 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Ez, What's wrong with some criticism? I do not dislike the topic, I just dislike being advised by (and having people quote from) a cartoon. You might like your own advice - If you do not like my comments, feel free to ignore. Else, ... Tubby, What has Homer got to do with a god, and who brought the supernatural into it? Homer, like a lot of other TV 'stars', is a product of the imagination of an artist and a cartoon film producer. My main concern is that many people quote from Simpsons episodes as if they were quoting from some important social commentary. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Some classic Home quotes, someone to genuinely look up to: Operator! Give me the number for 911! Oh, so they have internet on computers now! Bart, with $10,000, we'd be millionaires! We could buy all kinds of useful things like...love! Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand. I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me Superman. Son, if you really want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now quiet! They're about to announce the lottery numbers. Well, it's 1 a.m. Better go home and spend some quality time with the kids. Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene.' Marge, don't discourage the boy! Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals! Except the weasel. Doughnuts. Is there anything they can't do? You know, boys, a nuclear reactor is a lot like a woman. You just have to read the manual and press the right buttons. Lisa, if you don't like your job you don't strike. You just go in every day and do it really half-assed. That's the American way. When will I learn? The answer to life's problems aren't at the bottom of a bottle, they're on TV! Son, when you participate in sporting events, it's not whether you win or lose: it's how drunk you get. I'm going to the back seat of my car, with the woman I love, and I won't be back for ten minutes! [Meeting Aliens] Please don't eat me! I have a wife and kids. Eat them! What do we need a psychiatrist for? We know our kid is nuts. Marge, you're as beautiful as Princess Leia and as smart as Yoda. Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try. The only monster here is the gambling monster that has enslaved your mother! I call him Gamblor, and it's time to snatch your mother from his neon claws! When I look at the smiles on all the children's faces, I just know they're about to jab me with something. I'm having the best day of my life, and I owe it all to not going to Church! Lisa, if the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girls sports, such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing and such and such. I'm not a bad guy! I work hard, and I love my kids. So why should I spend half my Sunday hearing about how I'm going to Hell? Getting out of jury duty is easy. The trick is to say you're prejudiced against all races. It's not easy to juggle a pregnant wife and a troubled child, but somehow I managed to fit in eight hours of TV a day. Lisa, Vampires are make-believe, like elves, gremlins, and eskimos. I want to share something with you: The three little sentences that will get you through life. Number 1: Cover for me. Number 2: Oh, good idea, Boss! Number 3: It was like that when I got here. Oh, people can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent. 14% of people know that. Remember that postcard Grandpa sent us from Florida of that Alligator biting that woman's bottom? That's right, we all thought it was hilarious. But, it turns out we were wrong. That alligator was sexually harrassing that woman. Old people don't need companionship. They need to be isolated and studied so it can be determined what nutrients they have that might be extracted for our personal use. How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive? Television! Teacher, mother, secret lover. Homer no function beer well without. I've always wondered if there was a god. And now I know there is -- and it's me. Kill my boss? Do I dare live out the American dream? If something goes wrong at the plant, blame the guy who can't speak English. I'm never going to be disabled. I'm sick of being so healthy. I like my beer cold, my TV loud and my homosexuals flaming. [Looking at a globe map...country being Uruguay] Hee hee! Look at this country! 'You-are-gay.' All my life I've had one dream, to achieve my many goals. Dad, you've done a lot of great things, but you're a very old man, and old people are useless. But Marge, what if we chose the wrong religion? Each week we just make God madder and madder. I think Smithers picked me because of my motivational skills. Everyone says they have to work a lot harder when I'm around. Dear Lord.. The gods have been good to me. For the first time in my life, everything is absolutely perfect just the way it is. So here's the deal: You freeze everything the way it is, and I won't ask for anything more. If that is OK, please give me absolutely no sign. OK, deal. That's it! You people have stood in my way long enough. I'm going to clown college! Beer: The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems. If something's hard to do, then it's not worth doing I'm in no condition to drive...wait! I shouldn't listen to myself, I'm drunk! 'To Start Press Any Key'. Where's the ANY key?

My main concern is that many people quote from Simpsons episodes as if they were quoting from some important social commentary. It has gone past the point of criticism. Very early on in this thread, you stated your opinion - that's fine. Subsequently, your posts on this thread have gone off topic and become repetitious. If this wasn't a friendly, fun-oriented forum, I'd almost think that some of your posts on this thread were attacks in reaction to specific posters. "Else, ..."? Else what?
