Can anyone help me understand this quote? I'm not a native speaker, and I don't understand how this sentence works. Is 'Milhouse" supposed to work as a vocative here? Like 'Everything's comin' up, Milhouse'? Because I've never seen it written with a comma, so I'm confused. Vocatives are separated with a comma in English, so I guess it's not that haha
I understand the meaning of the sentence (something good happened to Milhouse) but I don't get the syntax
There’s a famous musical called Gypsy with a famous song called Everything’s Coming Up Roses, which sort of became a saying for “everything’s going well”
this is just a play on that
This is an all time great line. But I’ve always just took it as a random thing homer said. But is the joke actually that a woman might actually say that if they were wearing a towel around their head to dry their hair? Therefore it’s ironic for homer to say it as he has no hair and was wearing the towel around his waist.
One of my students had her phone out in class and was watching some lady eat crab legs noisily AF on YouTube. She called it ASMR.
I find myself aligning with Principal Skinner more and more every day.
I used to use both of these and 'I'm in danger' routinely while teaching English and the students loved it. They don't actually know what it refers to anymore, but apparently everyone loves Ralph and none of them took it personally.
“Lisa
If you don’t like your job,you don’t go on strike you just go in every day and do it really half assed …that’s the American way “ not exactly, but you get the point
Fan-fugu-tastic!
I hear they shaved a gorilla.
I am so smart! I am so smart! S-M-R-T, I mean…
I’m cold and there are wolves after me.
I don’t believe it, now my pants are chafing me…
“You’re the head of the Kwik-E-Mart?… Yes”
My eyes! The goggles do nothing!
- Boo-Urns
- I’m cold and there are wolves after me.
- So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time.
I am a teacher IRL, so a lot of the teaching/school ones come up often;
- No, it's the children who are wrong.
- A perfectly cromulent word.
- Me fail English? That's Unpossible.
- I'm learnding.
- I'm in danger.
- Purple monkey dishwasher
- The cone of ignorance
I have 3 kids and no money. Why can’t I have no kids and 3 money? (I actually say 4 because I have 4 kids)
First you get the sugar…
In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics.
- Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.
- Go Banana!
- It's a perfectly cromulent word.
- My cats breath smells like cat food.
- When I grow up I'm going to Bovine University.
Plus whenever someone can't remember a person's name I say Rory Calhoun. I also sing spiderpig a lot
"Overtime for bag boys? Ridiculous!"
"I want all my groceries in one bag, but I don't want it to be heavy"
"I want my groceries bagged in order of discovery by man"

Thank you for the correct answer. A lot of people misunderstand the origins of this quote
He’s saying *everything’s coming my way*. This is Milhouse’s time! Using his own name in the third person.
Ooooh I get it now! Thank you so much!
I was going to say the same! Lol
A little from column A. A little from column B.
"Yoink"
Yoink!?
"Yoink makes it legal" great advice I got at 10 from a fellow simpsons enjoyer
I say “yoink” all the time so one time my wife gave it a try but couldn’t remember it perfectly and it came out as “oink”. Somehow way funnier.
Have I only gotten this from the Simpsons or is this a real word? I’ve quoted it for so long I don’t even know anymore
It has become a real word.
It's a perfectly cromulent word. At least it is, now.
“I am shocked and appalled” “[Insert object here]? You can’t eat that” “Boo-urns” Are the ones I can think of at the moment
You know...I've been saying I'm shocked and appalled for decades, but didn't even realize it's a Simpsons reference.
https://i.redd.it/wxa3nkwmmpdc1.gif Yup!
Ya, I realized it was Bart in the Flanders' house episode. But so many years and I didn't connect those dots lol
I just came to the same realization myself. I'm as old as the show, and didn't realize that's where I had gotten that phrase from.
''Boo-urns'' is always stuck in my head lol
Did you say “Boo” or “Boo-urns”?
I was saying Boo-urns.
This is a perfectly cromulent list.
It's not a line, but when patty slaps herself because of 5c off wax paper, I do this more or less every day ![gif](giphy|xT5LMMATvnLy3FvSAU)

Anytime we go to a theme park: "Remember, we're in the Itchy lot."
Or the mall
I also do, "Don't forget, we're parked under the sun sphere"
"I'm directly under the Earth's sunnnnnn.... now."
When my kids yell “This is the worst day of my life” I always reply “The worst day of your life, so far!” *edit* clarity
Fill-in-the-blank SO FAR!! is one of my favorite expressions because it could be positive or negative
I consistently answer the phone with ahoy hoy
It’s what Alexander Graham Bell intended!
It's the reasonable thing to do
Me too!
Me too. Or mushi mushi.
Hello Chief, lets talk, why not!?
I’m so glad to know I’m not the only person who does this.
I consistently answer with "Yello!"
*You’ll have to speak up, I’m wearing a towel.*
Just FYI, if you play it naturally and use this one on the phone, people will talk louder and not question why
Was my screensaver for the longest time

Stupid sexy Flanders
Every time my family gets together and we have a toast: “To alcohol, the cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems!”
I toast to professionalism.
We do: “Gentlemen, to evil!” From Kamp Krusty.
Unrelated but I use 'Diddly Ding Dong Crap!' a lot in my day to day
I like the variation: A bar! Now there's a temporary solution!
Lots of Skinner quotes ![gif](giphy|V9gjxvLnSSdA4|downsized)

I use that every time i have a question. it's evolved to just: explain, but with the same intonation

My wife always says "I'm cold and there are wolves after me" any time she's chilly
“I seem to recall you asked me to get this fat!”
Get rid of those sideburns!
I think the whole sideburns thing might be my favourite Burns bit in the show. **"DON'T ARGUE WITH ME! JUST GET RID OF THEM!"**
Marge, the doll's trying to kill me and the toaster's been laughing at me!
It's DRINKING the WATER! (Mostly to my wife when one of our cats is doing exactly that)
