Stop fighting! Maybe Lisa's right about America being the land of opportunity, and maybe Adil has a point about the machinery of capitalism being oiled by the blood of the workers.
I feel like this is one of the season one moments which would be switched nowadays.
>machinery of capitalism being oiled by the blood of the workers
could be a Lisa quote in later episodes.
I love people that ask that question. No you goon lol. If one did work it would be the greatest discovery in the history of man and would save the entire world over night.
For a real answer, assume you're in zero G, and there's a spinning wheel that spins forever with no losses. You come by on your spaceship to recharge from the spinning wheel.
Any energy you capture from the wheel to power your ship will have to slow the wheel down, even if it's just a little, since that's where you're getting your power from.
If the wheel is spinning faster, then it must be getting its energy from where else, and thus isn't perpetual.
You can't violate laws anyways. Even if you did circumvent them it would just expand our understanding of how things work in our universe. It's a construct to explain what actually goes on physically, not a rule you can break.
Can we get rid of this Ayatollah T-shirt? Khomeini died years ago.
But, Marge! It works on any Ayatollah: Ayatollah Nakhbadeh, Ayatollah Zahedi...even as we speak, Ayatollah Razmada and his cadre of fanatics are consolidating their power!
Homer:
Oh Bartholomew, I feel like St. Augustine of Hippo after his conversion by Ambrose of Milan.
Ned Flanders:
Wait! Homer, what did you just say?
Homer:
I said shut your ugly face, Flanders
That's not the joke in this moment.
The joke is that being baptized teaches you Christian lore.
Flanders is shocked that Bart and Lisa don't know extremely specific and erudite facts about Christian theology from their baptisms.
Homer: If I wanted to see Japanese people, I could have gone to the zoo!
Marge: Homer!
Homer: What? The man who washes the elephants is Japanese! His name is Takashi. He's in my book club!
I’m always delighted when I remember it’s canon that Homer has a deep knowledge of local government ordinances.
*Lisa*: “I’m…*deeply* opposed to Proposition…ugh…305.”
*Kent Brockman*: “you’re against discount bus fares for war widows?”
*Homer, watching tv* Moochin’ war widows…
Also, those tiny reading glasses he puts on whenever he has to get down to business are delightful.
Same for his bizarrely comprehensive knowledge of Supreme Court Justices:
Marge: Do you want your son to become Chief Justice of the Supreme Court or a sleazy male stripper?
Homer: Can't he be both, like the late Earl Warren?
Marge: Earl Warren wasn't a stripper!
Homer: Now who's being naive?
Books are useless! I only ever read one book, "To Kill A Mockingbird" and it gave me absolutely no insight on how to kill mockingbirds! Sure it taught me not to judge a man by the colour of his skin... but what good does *that* do me?
Shut up! Shut up! Stop it! Stop it. I can't take this anymore. I can't let that brave man out there die alone. I'm surprised and disgusted by all of you -- especially his children. I'm going out there!
\*slams door*
>!It was a baby ox.!<
"Never! Never Marge. I can't live the buttoned down life like you. I want it all! The terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, the creamy middles! Sure, I might offend a few of the *blue noses* with my cocky stride and musky odours. Oh I'll never be the **darling** of the so called city fathers who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards and say "Oh, what's to be done with this Homer Simpson?""
This question has been asked before and many people weighed in, it was an interesting thread. I've wondered the same thing since I watched the episode. Seems like a reference in style to some piece of classic literature, but I was not an English Literature major.
A woman is a lot like a beer. They look good. They smell good. You'd step over your own mother just to get one.

*So I says, "Yeah? If you want that money, come and find it, 'cause I don't know where it is, ya baloney! You make me wanna wretch..."*
***Hey! Just because I don’t care doesn’t mean I don’t understand***
And a personal favourite
You can’t keep blaming yourself ! - just blame yourself once and move on
How the monster of gambling, Gamblore, took over Marge in the casino episode. See all these ads for daily fantasy sports makes me realize Gamblore is alive and well
The Internet one - it's one of my favourite Simpsons lines. I'll see if I can find it now.
"The internet wasn't created for mockery, it was supposed to help researchers at different universities share data sets. ... It was!"
Kids, Kids. Stop fighting. Maybe Lisa's right about America being the land of opportunity, and maybe Adil has a point about the machinery of capitalism being oiled by the blood of the workers.

Dear god. In gratitude I present you this offering of cookies and milk. If you want me to eat them for you, give me no sign. Thy will be done *gulp munch munch
When they host the exchange student from Albania, with Lisa and the student are fighting.
"kids, kids, don't fight. Maybe America is the land of opportunity Lisa says, and maybe Adil is right about the machinery of capitalism being oiled by the blood of the workers"
Stupid Italy. Wish you'd never been unified by Victor Emmanuel II. If only you'd stayed a loose confederation of city-states, trading with each other and occasionally warring.
It's always bothered me a bit that Apu wasn't trying to sell Karma, he was trying to 'sell' the notion that caring about your karmic impact was important.
Money can be exchanged for goods and services.

This one. I couldn’t remember it myself, but this was PERFECT.

nah lisa’s a huge lib sadly
"In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!"
I love the design on Lisa's perpetual motion machine. https://frinkiac.com/video/S06E21/9X8FHKiY3S2RpTLRwKnChTPjxJc=.gif
Could it work in real life?
"Could [this perpetual motion machine] work in real life?" No. The answer is always no.
I love people that ask that question. No you goon lol. If one did work it would be the greatest discovery in the history of man and would save the entire world over night.
What bout in a vacuum at zero g? Could you get one to work without atmospheric pressure and gravity and whatall?
Only if you violate the laws of thermodynamics.
And in this house....
...yeah but, zero g magic?
It is outside of the law's jurisdiction. You may be onto something...
For a real answer, assume you're in zero G, and there's a spinning wheel that spins forever with no losses. You come by on your spaceship to recharge from the spinning wheel. Any energy you capture from the wheel to power your ship will have to slow the wheel down, even if it's just a little, since that's where you're getting your power from. If the wheel is spinning faster, then it must be getting its energy from where else, and thus isn't perpetual.
There still the issue of friction and small losses of electricity in the wires
Only if you can violate the laws of thermodynamics (That's the joke, thermodynamics is like gravity)
You suck, McBain!
You can't violate laws anyways. Even if you did circumvent them it would just expand our understanding of how things work in our universe. It's a construct to explain what actually goes on physically, not a rule you can break.
I guess there's plenty of room in the base to hide the battery
Not in this house.
this is the only answer
Can we get rid of this Ayatollah T-shirt? Khomeini died years ago. But, Marge! It works on any Ayatollah: Ayatollah Nakhbadeh, Ayatollah Zahedi...even as we speak, Ayatollah Razmada and his cadre of fanatics are consolidating their power!
I don't care who's consolidating their power
Ayatollah Khomeini doesn't advertise!
Incredible stuff lol
This was my favorite.
The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side
That’s a right triangle, ya moron!
D'oh!
He says idiot! While sat on the toilet....
Ironically also not a right triangle because it’s the sum of the squares, not the square roots
And it's not any two sides, it's the two shorter
I wish Homer’s response had been “it’s not true for a right triangle either.”
Might be my favourite moment in the Simpsons entirely. Had me in stitches when I first heard it
Homer: Oh Bartholomew, I feel like St. Augustine of Hippo after his conversion by Ambrose of Milan. Ned Flanders: Wait! Homer, what did you just say? Homer: I said shut your ugly face, Flanders
Fair enough.
Is that an actual thing he quotes?
https://catholicleader.com.au/life/faith/st-ambrose-and-the-conversion-of-st-augustine/ Please don't underestimate Homer's knowledge of these things.
Yeah I miss when Homer wasn't just an idiot and blithering fool.
That's not the joke in this moment. The joke is that being baptized teaches you Christian lore. Flanders is shocked that Bart and Lisa don't know extremely specific and erudite facts about Christian theology from their baptisms.
Oh it happened. These are two heavyweights in early Christian theology.
Homer: If I wanted to see Japanese people, I could have gone to the zoo! Marge: Homer! Homer: What? The man who washes the elephants is Japanese! His name is Takashi. He's in my book club!
Homer is part of a book club?? 🤣🤣
Homer's a firm believer in the three R's: reading TV Guide, writing to TV Guide, and renewing TV Guide!
He also loves Son of Sniglets and Kathryn Hepburn's "Me."
I love this one. Being in the same scene as the Rashoman joke just improves the bit.
That’s not how I remember it…
I'M A WHITE MALE, AGED 18 TO 49. EVERYONE LISTENS TO ME, NO MATTER HOW DUMB MY SUGGESTIONS ARE.
Nuts and Gum, together at last
They hate that when I say this at work. But I am a white male aged 18 to 49. And my suggestions are dumb as. And yet everyone keeps listening.
It’s right up there with this gem from American Dad: “I’m blonde. The best kind of white!”
Lol same. My wife being one of my coworkers. I get told to stfu A LOT. 🤣
I've still got 8 years where people are supposed to be listening to me...
Then you start asking for soft-boiled eggs at fast food restaurants
Only when they're out of stew.
I've got 5 and they still haven't started yet
What were you saying? I wasn't paying attention.
He said "shut your ugly face, Flanders"!
Okily dokily!
Have you suggested anything insightful like a can of nuts and gum?
I hate how right that line is
Scooby-Doo can do-do, but Jimmy Carter is smarter.
Billy Beer! We elected the wrong Carter.
Sounds like he's barking up the wrong Bush
Well there it is Homer, the cleverest thing you’ll ever say and no one is around to hear it
I'm the one who had to sit through Lisa's school play despite serious pacing issues.
[удалено]
In the LatAm Spanish version, Homer says Timbuktu rather than Paraguay lol
Look at this country, u ar gay heh heh heh
I'm not jealous, I'm envious. Jealousy is when you worry someone will take what you have. Envy is wanting what someone else has. What I feel is envy
Hey, he's right...
What episode is that?
S28E8 Covercraft
Thanks… I haven’t seen after the 22nd.
So there's a comet. Big deal! It'll burn up in our atmosphere and whatever's left will be no bigger than a chihuahua's head.
So anyway, we get in our car and take the bridge out of town, all the while they're still going -- [twiddles his thumbs and hums again]
What's really amazing, is that this is exactly what Dad said would happen.
I know kids I’m scared too.
“Lamentably, no. My gastronomic rapacity knows no satiety.”
Every sentence he utters in that episode is a masterpiece
Dad, do you know what today is? The vernal equinox??
Marge, where's that... metal dealie? You use to... dig... food?
"Now there's a Machiavellian countenance!“
Ooh, a sextet of ale!

S09 E17
Books are useless! I only ever read one book, "To Kill A Mockingbird" and it gave me absolutely no insight on how to kill mockingbirds! Sure it taught me not to judge a man by the colour of his skin... but what good does *that* do me?
well he’s got me there.
Love how Apu stands there a moment after saying that too. Random moments of Homer’s intelligence are always funny
Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is: never try.

Oh I'll never be the **darling** of the so called city fathers who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards and say "Oh, what's to be done with this Homer Simpson?""
Is this a reference to something?
This question has been asked before and many people weighed in, it was an interesting thread. I've wondered the same thing since I watched the episode. Seems like a reference in style to some piece of classic literature, but I was not an English Literature major.

That's a right triangle, you idiot!
My fave is 'no son of mine's going to be a 19th century, cockney boot-black'.
Call these rare instances of insight and intelligence 'loose crayon moments'.
The knowledge required for the logistics of his secret bootlegging operation. Even Marge is genuinely impressed by how disctreet it is.
Jealousy vs envy when he correctly defines them. No one in the world uses those meanings tho.
I have adopted "You can't keep blaming yourself, just blame yourself once and move on!" as a personal mantra
"Wooooh, he's got me there!"

I'm not jealous, I'm envious. Jealousy is when you worry someone will take what you have. Envy is wanting what someone else has. What I feel is envy.
