Worst thread ever: What lines from the Simpsons do you use the most in your everyday lingo?

Message Bookmarked

Yup, another Simpsons thread.

I think for me, it's from that episode where Apu and his wife are trying to have kids, and for some reason at the beginning of the episode, Homer keeps saying all these annoying catchphrases, like "Too much inforMAtion! HelLO! Don't GO there!" For some reason, this comes up all the time in my everyday life, and I'm fortunate that I live with someone who understands what I'm talking about when I say "Too much inforMAtion!" in a weird Homeresque voice.

Probably "My cat's breath smells like cat food".

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 11:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, especially because I was super drunk on a strawberry margarita last night. I kept saying, "Could you BE any more... Hell-LOOO?!"

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 11:47 (twenty-two years ago)

N i was obsessed with that line during the world cup last year, every time brazil were on it was "my cat's breath smells like kafu".

also d'oh and mmmmmmmmm,[insert anything here], [drooling noise]

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 11:51 (twenty-two years ago)

i do the Prof Frink 'hm-hi!' thing sometimes...bemusement ensues

Nelson's laugh obviously

some adaptation of Bumblebee Man possibly too e.g. "Aiii! El Statment Del Banco!"

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 11:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, I can hear you say "mmmmmmmmm,[insert anything here], [drooling noise]" in my head. I think you say it all the time.

The other thing I say is "This [x] will kill us all", as people on ILE may have noticed.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 11:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yeah, I forgot the best one - "Could you BE any more..." which is great because he just kind of trails off, and then says "HelLO!"

― NA (Nick A.), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 11:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I do the mmmmm [x] [drool] thing all the time too.

― Archel (Archel), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 11:57 (twenty-two years ago)

a friend of mine and i are very bad for this - always doing exchanges like "food goes in here / it sure does" and "what's the point of this story? / i like stories"

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 11:58 (twenty-two years ago)

"Honey, I'd like to be alone with the sandwich for a minute"

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 11:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I do the mmmmm & drool thing aswell. I also do the mmm, mmmm, mmmm, noises he makes when he is picking sweets of his 'cake to spoil'.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 12:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Bizarrely (and I don't want to get even more of a reputation for derailing threads here but) the most commonly heard bit of stolen lingo in my house is 'it's... coffee', a random line from People Like Us. I don't know why, but it's the funniest thing ever and we can't stop saying it.

― Archel (Archel), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 12:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I do "mmmmm [thing] *drool*" a lot as well. Plus the occasional "D'oh!"

― robster (robster), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 12:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha Archel! Me & me friends do the same thing with the "It's a cobweb" line from The Day Today.

― robster (robster), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 12:15 (twenty-two years ago)

"Just because I don't CARE doesn't mean I don't UNDERSTAND!"

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 12:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yeah, the other one I do a lot is when Bart is crying about, Homer says, "There, there...shut up, boy."

― NA (Nick A.), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 12:18 (twenty-two years ago)

anything remotely crap gets a "boooo-urns"

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 12:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Hmm.. I do Nelson's 'har har' quite a bit. I should stop this shit.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 12:31 (twenty-two years ago)

It's... coffee.

― Archel (Archel), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 12:31 (twenty-two years ago)

stevem OTM on Nelson's laugh. I'm surprised I don't get hit, as I use it all the time even on virtual strangers.

Also of course D'oh

I would like to think that after this whole mess has died down, it will be possible to reclaim "Cheese-eating surrender monkeys" for polite conversation.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 12:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I never do the Nelson Muntz laugh. However I do the Edna Krabappel "HA!" laugh constantly.

― j0e (j0e), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 12:38 (twenty-two years ago)

My speech is punctuated by the Nelson laugh, the Krabappal laugh, the Frink "mm-hay!", the Comic Book Guy "worst ______ ever!", a variety of Homerisms (the "D'oh!" of course and the mmmm drool thing too, as well as his trademark "woohoo!"), and on top of this there are at least three other more specific phrases that I can't seem to avoid saying regularly, these being:

"MY EYES! THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING!" (wasn't this Grimey?)

"He's kicking it old school!" (Sideshow Mel)

"C'mon boozy, you're late for your Drunkening." (Moe)

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 12:43 (twenty-two years ago)

The goggles quote is from when Ranier Wolfcastle was filming Radioactive Man ("up and at them!")

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 12:47 (twenty-two years ago)

i use 'slack-jawed gawker' as an insult from time to time

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 12:47 (twenty-two years ago)

can anyone actually burp like Barney (tho its actually the trademark Simpsons burp used by Homer, Maggie and others from time to time)? sadly i can't

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 12:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I also forgot about "worst. <blank>. ever." and the woohoo.

xpost: I fairly regularly refer to the omni-directional sludge pump.

Muntz laugh, the occassional 'mmmm' and most often of all (on-line at least) 'Whoohoo!'

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 13:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Nelson Muntz wins this thread with the "haw haw", probably, but "Mmmmm, _______" and "D'oh!" probably are close seconds. Surprise entries from people around me: "That's right, I did the iggy!" and "Pretty lame, Milhouse."

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 14:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh I also say and hear people I know say "It tastes like burning!" all the time.

forgot Burns' 'excellent' crops up now and then, and 'woohoo' all the time

i say 'Quiet you!' in the same way Homer says it to Bono in the 200th episode - that shit cracks me up

and Krusty's 'shut your hole!' or better still Wiggum's 'Shut your wordhole!' are also gold

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 14:19 (twenty-two years ago)

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 14:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh how did I forget "eeeeeexcellent"? I say that word like every fifteen minutes, either the Burns-version or the Bill S. Preston Esq. version.

One thing I gaffled from The Simpsons' geeky cousin Futurama = "bonghole" as in "shut your bonghole hippy!".

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 14:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, excellent as well. I'm now wondering if there's anything in my life I haven't nicked from the Simpsons.

saying '...fresh' at the end of everything
in the manner of homer after cleaning the urinals in the
episode where he works in the bowling alley (title ?).
also if something obvious happens then saying
'yeeeeah they'll do that' in the way he does when
ralph says 'mr simpson, the tar fumes are making me dizzy'
in 'i love lisa'.

― piscesboy, Wednesday, 13 August 2003 15:04 (twenty-two years ago)

I do the 'it tastes like burning' and 'worst.____. ever.' as well as 'mmmsacreliciousss' mostly, with the occasional 'I bent my wookie' thrown in

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 15:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I end up using "it's a perfectly crumulent word" more than you might expect.

i.e. "Can't talk now, eating."

I don't think there should be a 'now' in that template.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 15:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Futurama = better than The Simpsons ever was

I must admit I also say "it's a perfectly cromulent word" any time people question my copywriting skills.

― j0e (j0e), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 15:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I often greet people with a "Hey hey kids", Krusty-style, mainly because he's about the only character I can do a half-decent impression of. This I alternate with a Dr. Nick-style "Hi everybody", although I'm not a doctor.

Also:

"Ai ai ai, no mes bueno."
"Bake 'em away toys."
"Fly, my pretties, fly."

There's a great bit where Homer is screwing up some story to Bart something like "And Hercules pulled the thorn out of the lion's paw and the lion showered him with riches," and Bart says "How did the lion have riches?" and Homer says "It was the OLDEN days!" Bart is happy with this explanation.

I am trying to turn "It was the OLDEN days" into a catchphrase to indicate that an explanation that seems to be getting some respect deserves none.

I've actually said this one a number of times -- from when the Comic Book Guy is piling all kinds of fattening garbage on his nachos and Apu (or someone) is talking about how fat and slovenly and disgusting Americans are. Comic Book Guy: "You would think that would deter me. But no!"

I've never said these ones out loud, but they pop into my head frequently in every day situations:

The head writer at Mad magazine offices, when someone finally comes up with the title for their Everybody Loves Raymond spoof. ("How about Everybody HATES Raymond? Nerdy giggles. ) Head Writer: "Well, we stayed up all night ... but I'm glad."

Homer upon hearing Krusty say a prayer in Hebrew: "He's talking funny-talk."

Danny DeVito's voice translating Maggie's baby talk through the Baby Translator Machine: "I want what the dog's eating." Also, "I've soiled myself. How embarrassing."

And here's one I know a lot of you use (and I do too): "It's funny because it's true!"

As I work at a coffee shop (although next week is my last week, woo-hoo!), I often think of Chief Wiggum, pulling an all-nighter to solve a case, and realizing he's all out of coffee: "Oh, well, I'll just drink this warm cream."

When I'm fighting with my boyfriend I often think of Homer, feeling ashamed about something he did, and saying to Marge as he walks upstairs to the bedroom: "I'll understand if you want to sleep on the couch."

Oh, and how can I forget one of my all-time favorite lines! Homer, sobbing to Marge when he thinks all their Christmas presents have been stolen: "Can we ... *sob* ... skip ... *sob* ... church?"

It used to be a brief, recurring meme on the show. It started, according to snpp.com, the indispensible site for every Simpsons nerd, is from Bart the Murderer. Bart & Fat Tony are watching an Itchy & Scratchy, and at the end of the bit Fat Tony sez that line. There have also been different iterations: "It's funny cos I don't know him"; "That is so true. We're so lame"; etc.

― Leee (Leee), Thursday, 14 August 2003 02:36 (twenty-two years ago)

My favorite Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm:

Lisa: Dont eat that, dad! It's from the 60s!
Homer: Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ... turbulent.

― brian nemtusak (sanlazaro), Thursday, 14 August 2003 02:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Hahah that yoink dot backslash thing Snake did when he stole the floppy disk was hilarious, I'd forgotten about it.

― brian nemtusak (sanlazaro), Thursday, 14 August 2003 02:39 (twenty-two years ago)

My favorite mmmm: Mmmmmmmmmmmmm ... forbidden donut.

Come to think of it, I say that a lot, too, usually after:

Tep: "Oh my God, look, Krispy Kreme has ANOTHER different DONUT OF THE MONTH!"
Girlfriend or anyone else in vicinity: "It's a black bean and jalapeno donut, what the fuck are you thinking?"
Tep: "MUST TRY UNTRIED DONUT."
And cue Homer.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 14 August 2003 02:42 (twenty-two years ago)

"mmmm... slanty"

It took me a LONG time to work out where that line even came from, it sounds so weird out of context. SO I love saying it.

man in googolplex-axled car: (in guileless response to homer's joy) hooray!

YES! YES! That "hooray!" gets uttered by me on a daily basis! I swear! And what's the deal with that guy's hair? If I remember correctly, it was like those Play-Doh toy people, where you'd force the Play-Doh upwards into their heads, causing it to extrude out into strings.

My friends and I sometimes do the "AAARRGMMMPH" sound - which is the sound of Homer shoving slices of American cheese into his mouth.

I used to say, "Instead of chewing gum, chew bacon!" a lot (Dr. Nick giving Homer advice on how to *gain* weight). One I need to use more is, "Makes Little Debbie look like a pile of puke." (Moe talking about the Lil' Lisa emblem, when she teams up with Burns). If I ever hear the word "Scorpio," I instantly sing that "Goldfinger"-esque tune. "ICE to see you." "Booor-ing" (Bart, after seeing the Mr. Sparkle commercial).

I was at a party the other night, and at one point, this annoying Czech girl said something really fast, and we were all like, "Wha?" And she said, "Jeez, you people don't watch enough Simpsons." To which I said, "I think we watch plenty Simpsons, thank you." Turns out she was saying, "Bees-are-in-my-what-now?" -- which, I mean, I vaguely remember that episode (bees attack Homer's pile of sugar), but she's trying to pass it off as if it's this totally iconic catchphrase that we're stupid for not understanding through her stupid Czech accent.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 01:55 (twenty-two years ago)

For some reason recently Ive started saying "I need to go see a DOCTORB!"

Also, I have managed to use "there's yer answer, fishbulb" quite a few times (usually to the bafflement of the person involved)

"No I'm... doesn't!" is a favourite.

often times when asked to describe something i am enjoying, i will respond that it is "awesomely outrageous." that's how moe described his southwestern pizza fingers or something in the uncle moe's family feedback episode where bart sells his soul to milhouse for some pogs. still my favorite episode.

― ath (ath), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 07:26 (twenty years ago)

dunno how you would use this in everyday conversation tho.

Anyone hear "Theme from a summer place" without singing Jasper's version from the Barbershop Quartet episode?

It's amazing how many Simpsons phrases I use every day (even ignoring the obvious Dohs, drools etc):

"Tramampoline! Tramampoline!" - used far too often, normally when someone trips over their words or when I see a trampoline.

"I choo choo choose you" from the Valentines day episode, normally when asked to choose anything.

Lenny/Carl's "Shutttuppp" from the stonecutters episode.

"I'd like a plum soaked in perfume and served in a man's hat" from the barbershop episode when asked what I'd like to drink.

Singing "Cut every corner" whilst hoovering.

This list could go on and on...

― Guilty Boksen (Bro_Danielson), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 11:24 (twenty years ago)

i think it's worth pointing out that the majority of these quotes come from what's generally acknowledged as the golden age of simpsons and this correllates well with the general sentiment (if not true consensus) on this thread the simpsons' peak period - can we have some consensus please ?

― AaronK (AaronK), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 11:25 (twenty years ago)

Oh - I forgot "remember your hippopotamus oath" and "Won't somebody think of the children?"

Won't somebody think of the children?
I managed to shoehorn that into a thread here somewhere.

I sometimes say "mmmmmmmm purple" for no reason other than it's stuck in my head (from the one where Lisa's at Homer's work and wants some fruit and Homer offers her a purple iced donut and says "Purple's a fruit")

and "mmmmmm slanty" when I swing on a chair (from the all time classic Homer the Inventor episode).

and "Beer, the cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems"

and Apu's "I can't believe you don't shut up"

I just used "I'm not NOT licking toads" this morning.

"Tramampoline! Tramampoline!"

This always cracks me up when I see the episode. But I do believe it's: (and I point this out because it's even funnier, not to be a pedant) "Tramampoline! Trabopoline!"

When I call journalists, I tell people "I'm calling my friends in the liberal media."

And when life is good: "everything is coming up Milhouse!". If I'm in the mood I might throw in the "my feet are soaked, but my cuffs are bone-dry!".

I really should throw around the "I don't care if you're Kristi Yamaguchi" more!

I can't believe no-one's thrown up the spotty kid who seems to have a new job every week:

"Here's your tacos Mr Simpson. Oops, I dropped them in the fryer - I'll get it out. Aaoooww, Aaaaaooouuuw."

Kid: "Are you over eighteen"
Bart: "Are you?"
Kid: "I'm not authorised to answer that question".

(etc etc)

Argh, and curse my ungrammatical transcription. Apologies.

"Here's your taco Mr Simpson. Oops, I dropped it in the fryer. I'll get it out. Aaoooww, Aaaaaooouuuw."

Wasn't Lisa Simpson the first person to say "Meh" in popular culture? If so, then that's surely ILX's most-used Simpsonism.

― Hello Sunshine, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 09:02 (eighteen years ago)

"ha ha" (pointing)

"EXcellent." (fingers together)

"hi, everybody!" (Dr. Nick voice)

"I... don't understand" (in Apu voice)

god, there's millions more. and I don't even watch it all THAT much.

― StanM, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 09:12 (eighteen years ago)

Reading through the complete thread, I've realised that roughly 30 per cent of my daily conversation has been directly lifted from episodes of the Simpsons.

Oh my, how could I forget "cromulent"...

― Hello Sunshine, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 09:16 (eighteen years ago)

I've completely given up watching it, but the old ones stay with you. Insect overlords and everything's coming up Milhouse are probably the ones I use most.

I also like and use "Marge my friend, I haven't learned a thing."

Oh, I also own perfectlycromulent.com

― accentmonkey, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 09:17 (eighteen years ago)

And when life is good: "everything is coming up Milhouse!"

I always say this too. And "Wait! There's plenty of Milhouse to go round!"

And of course "MY EYES, ZE GOGGLES DO NOTHINK!"

― Trayce, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 09:25 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, and the "I deride your truth handling abilities" one.

I'll go to work now.

― Hello Sunshine, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 09:26 (eighteen years ago)

How could I forget:
"What's the obsession with my secret closet of mystery?"

and when Nelson is at some posh party, and is beating up the butler by taking his hands and forcing him to strike himself: "Stop butling yourself!"

― Not the real Village People, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 13:58 (eighteen years ago)

And, of course, there's CHOWDAH whenever anyone mentions chowder.

― accentmonkey, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 15:26 (eighteen years ago)

So many of these you forget came from the simpsons! I've lately been saying variations on "he's tryin to make uh munkey outta yewww" (bart from the tell-tale heart episode).

― negotiable, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 15:29 (eighteen years ago)

the only thing i say lately is "now it's Marge's time to shine"

― Ste, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 15:31 (eighteen years ago)

i used "let me get out of these wet clothes and into a dry martini" for the first time in a long time the other day.

― sunny successor, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 15:31 (eighteen years ago)

from one of the early halloween episodes, where homer buys the evil krusty doll, the way he says "that's good!" and "that's bad"

I had one of those "So that's where they got that from" moments when I viewed Billy Wilder's Sabrina for the first time a few years ago and saw the scene they got this from. (Sabrina's dad is reading a letter from her to his fellow servants, who reply with those lines to each point in her text.)

― C. Grisso/McCain, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 16:05 (eighteen years ago)

I actually said "in your FACE, space coyote" twice yesterday.

Have you heard of the Catskills?

I suspect the only one I still use is "yoink!".

― bernard snowy, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 17:38 (eighteen years ago)

oh yeah - mmmmmmm floorcake

-- Ned Trifle II, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 22:43 (Yesterday)

heheh - that should of course be floorpie...

― Ned Trifle II, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 18:00 (eighteen years ago)

Another ILX fave: "I, for one, welcome our new _______ overlords."

And, "Mmmmmmm.... sacrilicious" (Homer eating a Jesus-looking pancake)

"In theory! Sure it works in theory. Communism works in theory." (probably badly mangled, but more of Homer, can't remember the context)

― nickn, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 19:35 (eighteen years ago)

I still use "yoink" as an expression and a verb

― kingfish, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 19:37 (eighteen years ago)

much as I love the show (up til about 6-7 years ago), as I don't watch the syndicated reruns or DVDs I remember hardly any of these.

I sometimes say "it's funny cuz it's true"

― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 19:41 (eighteen years ago)

unsurprisingly, almost all of these are from between Seasons 2 and 10.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 19:44 (eighteen years ago)

Our dog isn't allowed into the spare bedroom, and whenever he tries to get in we refer to it as "the forbidden room of mystery".

― Hello Sunshine, Thursday, 10 May 2007 07:55 (eighteen years ago)

I toss out the phrase "Oldie Hawn" from time to time.

― C. Grisso/McCain, Thursday, 10 May 2007 14:09 (eighteen years ago)

oh man, that's a simpsons thing? okay, maybe I have more of those left than I thought

― bernard snowy, Thursday, 10 May 2007 14:20 (eighteen years ago)

Well, I got it from the show (It's something Comic Book Guy called Skinner's mom)

whenever i tell friends about a lame show i saw, it inevitably starts with, "boy that band sure did suck last night. i mean, i've seen bands suck before, but they just plain sucked. they were the worst band of sucks that ever sucked."

― Lawrence the Looter, Wednesday, 14 November 2007 04:18 (eighteen years ago)

Hahah I do hey there blimpy boy as well.

Pretty sure at this point in my life it's either "You tried and you failed. The lesson is: Never try," or its corollary, "Got it: Can't win, don't try."

If my husband squints to try to read fine print, I start saying "R...Q...J...question mark...smiley face..."

"Stupid tv! Be more funny!" (esp. whenever I hear Garrison Keilor's voice on the radio)

When barefaced lying..."It was a pornography store. I was buying pornography."

plus, yoink, doh, excellent...all the usual suspects. It's kind of sad when you start listing them all.
