Bumping to spend my PAL post on sharing this fabulous clip that had my hubby and I laughing our asses off this morning, the apartment mowers did the fields today and we started chanting Mow Mow Mow ..... only to find ourselves in the middle of this skit!

During the times in my life where I found myself in the role of a supporting character, I tried to channel Karl, Homer’s assistant. Maybe it’s because I see myself as loyal, maybe it’s because I’m waiting for my next opportunity to kiss a man.


If you can't handle me at my Marc Johnson, you don't deserve me at my Bobby Puleo.

If this were a skate video focus group -
Focus Group Guy : [after showing the skaters the newest video on Thrasher]  Okay, how many of skaters would like aging pros to skate regular spots, film lifestyle bits and release laidback parts like the ones you and your homies do every day?

[the skaters cheer]

Focus Group Guy : And who would like to see them do just the opposite, going to far off locations, skating some of the roughest spots, risking life & limb and filming the biggest bangers.

[the skaters cheer again]

Focus Group Guy : So you want aging pros to release laidback video parts where they are having fun but filled with off-the-wall clips that put their long-term health at risk?

[the skaters all chat at once about it being a great idea]

Sorry for taking so long to answer. I have read The Time Machine Did It. It was very Swartzwelder-y in that some of the jokes were great, some I didn't get at all, and some I had to read five times until I got it and then I laughed a lot
There was no wire. Clark's planet needed him.

Some love for Springfield's only Scotsman
Bonjourrrrrrrrrrrrrrr you cheese eating surrender monkeys!


Willy is SOOOOOOO underrated.

Skinner: (to Bart) ... There's no such thing as Scotchtober fest!

Willy: Ya Uuuuuused me Skinner,ya uuuused me!

And even better, before encountering Sherry Bobbins in the park, Willy is doing a one man band rendition of She's A Maniac that ends with him dumping a bucket of water on his head and saying: ahhh that's the stuff!

It is totally insane

Love this thread! My favs are Barney, Otto and any Phil Hartman voiced characters. I still have my old Mattels from 1990 and a few randoms from Burger King I think it was. Have all the accessories like the slingshot, nuclear power plant gear, and voice bubbles but they are in a bag for safe keeping

I can't believe I didn't see this thread until now ate the whole thing.

I consider The Simpsons one of the building blocks of my personality, and have probably watched more hours of it than anything else (seasons 2-9ish).

Hank Scorpio is a real one
Frank Grimes
The Kalkalash vendor
The sleezy/sarcastic guy
The vendor who sells Homer the monkey paw

As far as underrated, maybe Lyle Lanley. The Simpsons has a knack for sleezy characters.

I have some other stuff around the house

My girl painted me the boat. Our friend drew us and our cat as characters.



Got these cross stitches a few years back.



Decided this shirt was worth 1.5 hours of driving and $8. Some vintage 90's gear.



Have a few other random things in storage.

Very cool stuff y'all!


The Kalkalash vendor is such a good catch

I used to lose my shit back in junior high when my friend would imitate the large man in a tiny car Nelson laughs at in the “22 stories about Springfield” ep


Same! This is the only automobile I could afford

I'm watching Bart The Fink right now and was reminded of this "handsome" devil:


"Darr, a quarter? He'll be dancing for hours!"
Every single person called Pete that I have met since that episode aired I have referred to as Handsome Pete
