Poll question: Simpsons meme that needs to die

[jpgray]

1. Worst. Cadence. Ever. (nt)

[Fenris]

3. Comic Book Guy is delightfully Shatneresque.

[Initech]

2. This thread makes baby Jesus cry!

[4_Legs_Good]

4. None! They're all a valuable part of the lexicon

Though I guess if I had to choose it'd be the Flanders stuff.

5. "Tastes like Burning!"

REAL tired of that one.

[terrya]

6. "Mmmmmm-------"

Yeah, Homer likes to eat. We get it already.

[Initech]

10. "mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... sacrilicious!"

[DS1]

7. In the bathroom stall where I shit the most, there is one of those

sections of written on the walls things,

and it's actually ( and I swear ) _____ makes Baby Jesus cry


and somone followed that up with ______ makes Rodney Dangerfield cry

they are both blank

[Arugula Latte]

8. How did the Worst. ______. Ever. Come about?

In what context did it appear on the Simpsons? Anyone know?

[asthmaticeog]

11. "Worst. Episode. Ever."

Comic-book guy in the episode where Poochie is added to the Itchy and Scratchy show.

[Fenris]

15. Also, in a later episode involving Bart's horse Duncan...

CBG wears a t-shirt with that phrase on it.

[Initech]

12. It actually came from a critic in a newspaper

It was during either the 7th or 8th seasons, and after a bad episode, the headline in a newspaper read "Worst. Episode. Ever." (it actually might have been TV Guide now that I think about it)

So Matt Groening stole the headline and had the Comic Book Guy say it over and over.

They tell the whole story about this on one of the commentaries, I forget which one.

[asthmaticeog]

13. I was not aware of that.

Cool story.

[Initech]

17. Now I wish I could remember which episode commentary it's in.

It's driving me crazy! :banghead:

[no name no slogan]

9. Are you the creator of Hi and Lois because you make me LAUGH

Worst. Thread. Ever.

[Deja Q]

14. Worst. Sex. Ever.

:rofl:

[jobycom]

16. Number One!! It's so misused I doubt people even get it anymore.

The whole point of the construct is to use three words that stand alone as complete thoughts, and that together complete a whole thought. "Good.Food.Tonight." to advertise a restaurant, for instance, describes the restaurant as good, as having food, and suggests you can go there tonight. Not brilliant, but it works.

People here keep saying "Worst.President.Ever." as though they are just emphasizing the words. But while "Worst" works, it emphasizes that Bush is president in a way that almost praises Bush (Like the stickers that say "W: The President"), and then "ever" just doesn't work.

So I'm sick of that damned construct.

Overused. Inane. Cliche.

Okay, rant off. Use it if you want, I don't care. Really, I don't.

[miss_kitty]

18. I'm. So. Sorry.

you feel that way :P

[jobycom]

20. L.O.L.

:P

[Kurovski]

19. None, not a one, do you hear me?!!

Why do I suddenly feel like a Bush supporter?

Actually, "making baby Jesus cry" was a guilt trip provided to young'uns for everything from "five-finger exercising" to not eating their peas.

It was around before the Simpsons, and thanks to them it will never again be taken seriously.

Same for politicians who say/said everything is done for the children.

21. I've never seen the Simpsons or the Family Guy,

I've never eaten a hot pocket (I didn't even know what one was until yesterday) and I haven't been to a concert since 1985. I need a life :cry:

[asthmaticeog]

22. Wanna get high?

[JimmyJazz]

24. Ha! Okay, I'll admit to doing that once or twice.

:7

[bicentennial_baby]

[bicentennial_baby]

[CubsFan1982]

26. Worst. Poll. Ever.

:P

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

28. simpsons itself needs to die

the writing is beyond wrethced these days and its an insult to the show in its glory years

[Kurovski]

29. "Wrethced" writing indeed!

:-)

[njdemocrat106]

30. The point where the Simpsons "jumped the shark"...

when Lisa dated Nelson. The show started going downhill with that episode, IMO.

[Kurovski]

31. Wow, that was...what? eight years ago?

That's quite a steep hill.
