Homer Simpson Nails it again

[burythehatchet]

Bart gets suspended from school. The family decides to send him to a Catholic private school. Homer remarks "and if you get kicked out of that school you're gonna have to join the Army and you'll be stuck in some quagmire in North Korea or Iran or anywhere with Commander CuckooBananas in charge"

I love Homey.

1. Commander CuckooBananas

here ya go

2. I remember that one. Seems like Groening has been including more and

more pointed political and social commentary lately (he's always done it some, but it seems more frequent lately).

There was the show about medical marijuana a few years back where Homer says "I could go up to the president and blow marijuana smoke in his stupid monkey face"

A favorite from years past - back when Ned Flanders wife was still alive, she said "I'm getting too tolerant - it's time for me to go to Bible camp" (paraphrasing)

4. No episode was more pointed

than when Krusty ran for Congress. SO MANY Faux News jokes. The Faux News van with the Bush/Cheney 04 sticker. The interview where the Democrat had the devil horns and the USSR flag behind him, the Faux News scroll with things like, "92% of Democrats are gay". Absolutely hilarious!

13. I missed that one. The one where Bart moons the flag, and the whole family gets sent to a

re-education camp (where Michael Moore and Al Franken are also being held) was a great one. Lots of good lines there.

5. Yup. My favorite was Grandpa Simpson shouting at the teenage hoodlums...

...as they are mocking him skateboarding, he
yells at them, "You're all gonna die in a pointless war!"

3. "Beans, beans, the musical fruit...."

"The more ya eat, the more ya toot!"

That's from a classic ep. that got Bart kicked out of Catholic school. ;)

Mr. Burns: Welcome, fellow Republicans. To start off tonight's agenda, brother Hibbert will report on our efforts to rename everything after Ronald Reagan.

Hibbert: All Millard Fillmore schools are now Ronald Reagans. The Mississippi River is now the Mississippi Reagan.

Dracula: And my good friend Frankenstein is now FrankenReagan. Blah!

Mr. Burns: Excellent.
