Scary Movie 4, 2006

Michael: Lindsay, I can tell that it's real. It's like that feeling that you read about twins having.
Lindsay: We're twins. You didn't give me access to the banking.
Michael: No, you'd just ... you'd go out, and you'd just whore it up Lindsay, you know? Now, she's different. She's a little bit more like me. It's like we finish each other's --
Lindsay: Sandwiches.
Michael: ... Sentences. Why would I say --
Lindsay: Sandwiches.
Michael: That time, I was going to say sandwiches.

Arrested Development, 2005

there are like 80 videos on youtube about family guy ripping off jokes from the simpsons but that should probably be its own thread

no family guy
no carlos mencia

30 rock ripping off the simpsons is fair game

Kenneth: I know a gentleman who had a lot of crazy ideas. He was a carpenter. He wanted everyone to love one another.
Tracy: Oh, you mean Jesus?
Kenneth: No, Miguel from set design. He's over there.

30 rock, 2007

Jimbo: Hey, Simpson, I hear your sister dumped Christianity.
Bart: Who cares?
Dolph: I'll tell you someone who cares. He's got long air, works as a carpenter, has a lot of crazy ideas about love and brotherhood.
Jimbo: His name's Gunnar and he's dating my mom. Sometimes he buys us beer.

simpsons, 2001

didnt even know about that ref above, i was looking for a mid 90s episode with homer saying he knew a guy with long hair and crazy ideas and then goes 'cmon marge, he drove that green car?' but couldnt find it

simpsons joke biters

Marge tells the kids it's time for church, and Bart asks why Homer can stay
home. Marge reluctantly explains that Homer is ``wicked''.

Kids, let me tell you about another so-called [makes quotation marks with
fingers] ``wicked'' guy. He had long hair and some wild ideas. He didn't
always do what other people thought was right. And that man's name was...
I forget. But the point is... I forget that, too. Marge, you know what
I'm talking about. He used to drive that blue car?
-- Homer's parable of the guy in the blue car, ``Homer the Heretic''

thought this was gonna be a meta ilx thread

thanx man

simpsons biting simpsons jokes is the worst

an ilx joke biting thread would be awesome

mad ppl (including me) stealing jimmy the mod's NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOO joke recently

yeah I totally thought this was gonna be ethan's (totally justified) payback for dudes constantly rehashing william henry harrison, etc.

wm henry harrison was funny in 2002 to like 5 people for like 30 seconds - anybody loling at that in 2008 has been punished enough

Jimbo: Hey, Simpson, I hear your sister dumped Christianity.
Bart: Who cares?
Dolph: I'll tell you someone who cares. He's got long air, works as a carpenter, has a lot of crazy ideas about love and brotherhood.
Jimbo: His name's Gunnar and he's dating my mom. Sometimes he buys us beer.

simpsons, 1992

oops someone already pointed that out sorry

aren't ilx memes mostly just constantly bitten jokes?

how do you guys remember jokes from 1992 simpsons episodes

16 years of reruns'll do that to ya.

well it helps that some of us were conscious at that age

word

KIF: One beep for "yes", two beeps for "no".
[Fry beeps once.]
ZAPP: "Yes". So noted. Do you plead guilty?
[Fry beeps twice.]
ZAPP: Double "yes". Guilty! I will now carry out the punishment. Kif, my gun.
-Futurama, 2002

Officer 2: Ms. Claridge, did Trent Boyett do this to you. [two beeps, so no] Yes yes. Take him away!
-South Park, 2004

oh i guess i broke the format of putting the biter first, sorry : (

There was a Superbowl ad for Pepsi wherein a drive-thru customer could not understand the employee's voice through the intercom at all. When they pulled up to the window, the employee's voice sounded tinny and distorted, like it had through the intercom. It was their voice lolz! And THAT was stolen from a Bloom County strip from about 7 years previous to the ad.

I was so pissed when I saw it!

Yeah, I saw a Simpsons recently that bit the "Monster Island is actually a peninsula" saying some other island was "actually a peninsula ," and I was like, 'fuck, that's like your most beloved joke."

Last night I saw the first South Park I've seen in years, in which they learn that Earth is actually a reality show for aliens, and now that they know that, the show is canceled, and a construction crew comes by to demolish the planet

= did you guys just now read the Hitchhiker's Guide, or something?

orgasm-faking scene in "All of Me" (with Steve Martin's "oh yeah? well I faked all of mine too!" rejoinder)

vs

much lamer and way overplayed orgasm-faking scene in "When Harry Met Sally"

this has always irritated me.

the history of jokes is pretty much the history of joke biting

Like I hated when later on in the Bible, they totally rip off the whole Abrahamic "sacrificing your own son thing" when they crucify Christ! Jesus, I know it was different authors, but it ended up in the same book,, Luke. People were gonna notice!

how do joeks fit into all this?

i wonder if american dad bites jokes from futurama

this thread is too complicated

"orgasm-faking scene in "All of Me" (with Steve Martin's "oh yeah? well I faked all of mine too!" rejoinder)"

A line subsequently bitten by Frank Drebin in Naked Gun!

I think they were both written by anorgasmic men.

Principal Skinner: I know Weinstein's parents were upset, Superintendent, but I was sure it was a phony excuse. I mean, it sounds so made up: "Yom Kippur."

Chris Griffin: um Mr. McCloud, I didn't study for this test, but I got a good reason. I'm dying.
Mr. McCloud: Griffin that's the lamest excuse i've heard since Steinberg came up with that Jewish high-holiday crap. Steinberg! Take that hat off in my classroom.

Oh wait I just ignored some rules. Carry on

The "casting Donny's ashes to the sea" gag in Big Lebowski was stolen from Life Stinks by Mel Brooks.

in hot shots part deux when they're like "he's got his father's eyes" and of course charlie sheen actually does carry around a little box with his father's eyes in it

ripped off from somewhere but i can't remember :(

I think it's just an old joke, I've read it from some joke book that predates Hot Shots II.

"he has his father's eyes... in a little box on the hearth"

kind of like Woody Allen's line in Love and Death, when he says his father owns a little piece of land, and his father holds up some grass and says "one day I hope to build on it".

he has his fathers eyes = addams family film, possibly the second one. which may have been after hot shots.

"When I was a kid people said I had my father's eyes. Which freaked me out as my dad was blind."

"...NOT!"
"...for me to poop on!"

what's the next one?

The "casting Donny's ashes to the sea" gag in Big Lebowski was stolen from Life Stinks by Mel Brooks.

was just watching that crappy new ABC show "Carpoolers" this week and there was a scene where someone emptied out an urn full of ashes and the wind blows it back on all of them.

And it happens in that one Death Cab for Cutie song. I'll get me coat.

no i like doing this, which says a lot about me

This is prob just a masterful ethan troll anyways.

they couldnt think of anything better to signify that than typewriter/computers and LPs/cds? the enron/microsoft joke works because at the time both wouldve been highly trading stocks and the impending worthlessness of enron was arguably hidden, but vinyl records were at their lowest stock ever in the year this episode was set and have been rising in value since, while preferring a typewriter to a computer in 1991 is hardly the same comedic bad luck as keeping enron stock - anyone wanting a typewriter then would hardly be disappointed if, in the upcoming years, he continued to have a typewriter - the computer is at full capacity and will only lower in value, not rise

you would have known that about a typewriter by 91 too i think. i mean if you could afford a computer by then you already knew it beat a typewriter hands down. was win 3.1 out then?

that's my point - it's not like back in 91 a typewriter was this valuable treasure about to plunge in value while computers were unappreciated workhorses destined for greatness

ok this is unscientific but its basically how i see it:
http://i26.tinypic.com/2q9jf4w.jpg

Let's divide this up into profit centers and cost centers, people.

If the joke is about current and not future value it sorta makes sense i.e. its not a joke about Homer's inability to predict what will be valuable in the future but a character-based "Homer is stupid" joke. So preferring LPs to CDs in 1991 when "vinyl records were at their lowest stock ever" is the joke?

joke charters

then why make the enron/microsoft comparison?

ugh

should have been "i'll keep the record player, you take the cd player" instead. if you already have both cds and lps, then you have them already, regardless of future trends, but if you take the playback device for which media isn't going to be produced much longer then you're screwed, eventually.

which would be cds, not LPs

even in yr graph Microsoft > Enron in 1991. lol Cornell MBA joeks but 1991 was the year the Microsoft doubled in value so the joke still works on that level. The fact that Enron became totally worthless is an added dimension to the joke

should be "a year" not "the year"

nah, i'm saying joke about the decision to split up the cds and lps they already own doesn't affect his ability to buy more cds in the future, either way. it's not like his choice doomed him to only buying lps from then on or anything, so he's really not as screwed as the joek implied. there's not a cause and effect thing here like there is with the microsft/ enron stocks.

it's like getting rid of all your old photos because film is an obsolete medium; so what, you already have the photos, it doesn't mean you can't shoot digital in the future.

30 rock kinda biting the LOL SLOW AIRPORT EMPLOYEES thing from meet the parents last week

ted's "vomit free since '93" thing on himym vs. jeryy's non-vomit streak going back to 1980 on seinfeld.

jerry's

What I don't get is how the simpsons were college students in the 90s but high school students in the 70s. WHERE'S THE GRAPH FOR THAT.

crisis in infinite springfields

But that was a good half the initial funniness of the 90s episode! Possibly one day, long from now, they will hobble their way into an episode about how they were 20-somethings in the 00s.

Marge's dress IS kind of American Apparel, you know?

xxp Yeah, that shit's for people like J0rdan S. who weren't sentient in 1992.

jordan is sentient now?

gah knew i was gonna get clowned for that one

Homer: Now if you'll excuse me I have to use the out-house again.
Cousin 1: We don't have an out-house.
Cousin 2: My recording studio!

Simpsons, 2005

Abe: Yeah, Smingers did it. Case closed. Now where's my hat? I'm
going to the outhouse. (leaves)

post a joke biter or gtfo my thread

Only just realised that the "His silence speaks volumes" gag from the protesting farmers episode of I'm Alan Partridge is a straight jack of the "Mr Simpson, your silence will only incriminate you further" bit from the "Homer, Bad Man" episode of the Simpsons.

Moe: Good, 'cause I got a hot date tonight. (bzzzt) _A_ date. (bzzzt) Dinner with friends. (bzzzt) Dinner alone. (bzzzt) Watching TV alone. (bzzzt) All right! I'm going to sit at home and ogle the ladies in the Victoria's Secret catalog. (bzzzt) Sears catalog. (ding!)

Robin: I thought you said that as you and Lily mature, the relationship matures?
Marshall: Oh, that's just something Lily read in Psychology Today. (beat) OK, Cosmo. (beat) OK, I read it in Cosmo. (beat) OK, Cosmo Girl, you happy?

maybe but this is not really a difficult joke to come up with entirely off the top of the head

easy to say that after the joke has been made

loooooool i forgot about this

http://i26.tinypic.com/2q9jf4w.jpg

that was truly impressive.

i'd like to see that level of chart n graph dedication brough to questions like "
how many days does bill murray repeat in groundhog day?" and "in independence day, is president whitmore a democrat or republican?"

sounds like a good task for the new ilx intern we're getting

Comic Smashes Audience Member's Cellphone to Prevent Joke Theft

im tryna remember a simpsons joke where someone (homer) pulls out a phone book in order to tell something to as many ppl as possible and u see him calling a.aaronson and the it cuts to him calling z.zwyckstien but the joke is something like him saying "there! i called the two biggest gossips in town."

saw a variation on this joke recently on a crappy abc sitcom but then i couldnt remember if it was a simpsons joke or not.

i think it was patty and selma making the calls, i've seen that joke somewhere else too can't remember where

I remember seeing that joke in Simpsons too, but can't remember episode.

'And Maggie Makes Three', Marge finds out she's pregnant...

Marge: I've got to tell Homer about this baby in just the right
way and at just the right time. Until then, please, keep
this to yourselves.
Patty: Oh, if he found out now, it would probably destroy him,
huh?
Marge: Oh, yes.
Patty+Selma: Gotta go!
Marge: Wait a minute! Wait, I know that look. Now promise you
won't tell Homer.
Selma: Oh, we promise we won't tell..._Homer_.
[they go to the phone book and open it to page one]
Patty: [dials 356756] Hello, is this A. Aaronson? It might
interest to you to know that Marge Simpson is pregnant
again.
[later]
Patty: [on the phone] Just thought you'd like to know, Mr.
Zykowski. [hangs up, sighs] There. Aaronson and Zykowski
are the two biggest gossips in town. In an hour, everyone
will know.

oops, that doesn't make for pleasant reading, but you get the point.

class.

Wayans bros. did the Sandwiches joke way first in the "Green Card" episode (1999).

I got really angry when a commercial stole the 'censored Tenement play' gag from The State (ie replacing 'motherfucking' with 'mickey-fickey' and 'shit' with 'poop' etc). No one around me knew what I was going on about.

PS this is the unfunniest thread with the word 'joke' in the title EVER

Still love the fact Ethan went to the trouble of drawing a graph of all the worth of stock/cds/typwiters etc in MSPaint. Love it.
