![]() ![]() It’s a staggeringly unfair task you’ve set to a generation that can barely remember a time before The Simpsons existed. I am often confused, which brings out “Bees are on the what now?” I often know that things will go horribly awry, for which I use the very self-aware “ Nothing could possiblie go wrong.” But sometimes I find myself in the role of inspirational leader, which gives me a chance to dust off “ Up and at them!” Bottom line is that I am so smrt.Įasy one: “I am so smart S-M-R-T.”Usually I just quote the letters and it’s understood.The great thing about the line is that it can be both self-deprecating (after a moment of sublime idiocy), or used to voice exasperation:”Did I really just hear you explain that for the third time this week?” “S-M-R-T…” Robert Greene, Sight & Sound, Hammer to NailĪs I’ve matured into a bald father, I find my inner Homer has gotten harder to hide. Actually, considering I run a nerd blog, pretty much everything Comic Book Guy says is go-to for me. “Rest assured, I was on the Internet within minutes, registering my disgust throughout the world” Ĭonsidering that you’re asking critics, I think it’s inevitable that the answer will be “Worst. “I for one welcome our new insect overlords!” “To alcohol!

The Simpsons quote I laugh about more than any other is probably when Homer and Marge are about to buy two tickets to “The Stockholm Affair,” and when Marge says the paper described it as “a taut political thriller,” Homer moans, “Uhhhhh!

But despite the alarming regularity with which I say “Listen, Spielbergo, Schindler and I are like peas in a pod!” or “I made a movie!? No wonder I’m the cover of Entertainment Weekly!”, a good old “Boo-urns” is definitely the most practical bit. ![]() The Simpsons/ Critic crossover episode “A Star is Burns” is arguably the best moment of either brilliant show, and I could have submitted almost every line of dialogue from it for this week’s survey.
