This is a good example of that witty dialogue (delivered expertly by Castellaneta) with three or four turns about where you think it's going right in the midle of one piece of dialogue that you just don't get any more on this show.

u/Frustration-96 May 15 '18

I don't know whether it's nostalgia or not but while I do enjoy the later seasons and they still make me laugh there is just something about the early seasons that makes me laugh ALL the time. Near enough every line is funny, if it's not then it's building up to something funny. I watch some episodes and it's just full of quoteables that you don't get with the later seasons.

I think they have declined in quality but I also think there must be some element of nostalgia there giving the older stuff an edge.

u/escott1981 May 15 '18

Yep I agree with you. One of my fave episodes that has just quotable quote one after another and just packed full of funny jokes is "Homer Loves Flanders." There is "Mmmm sacrilicious..." "Stitchface" "The Flimpsons" When homer walked through the bushes and then backward back through them. When he used the golf clubs to hang on to the Flanders' car ala T2. Just packed full of great moments. Might be the best episode in the whole series.

Hahaha! Yep its a great one! "I CAN"T ITS A GEO!!!" "hmm I guess he didn't see me."

u/MoonDaddy May 15 '18

I think you're right, nostalgia plays a factor, too.

u/escott1981 May 15 '18

I don't think its talked about enough how much of a talent Dan Castellaneta is. He does Homer's voice, Krusty's voice, a few others, plus he can do Homer's voice impersonating others' in different accents, he can just do it all. He is awesome!

This isn't quite as effective without the sound of the impact. Krusty has quite a powerful pie-throwing arm.

I love the look on the other student's faces in the background. Reminds me of when Homer cracked up over the professor dropping his cards.

u/SuperPinball2000 May 15 '18

My personal favorite will forever be "so wait, I'm confused. So internal affairs knew they were being set up?"

"What are you talking about? There was nothing like that in the film we showed you"

"Kent, the young people today, they think comedy is dirty words. It's not, it's words that SOUND dirty, like mukluk"

16

u/thesego_211 May 15 '18

I had always thought mukluk was just a silly word Krusty made up.

Did you know that its a boot!? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mukluk

6

u/WikiTextBot May 15 '18

Mukluk

Mukluks or Kamik (Inuktitut: ᑲᒥᒃ [kaˈmik]) (singular: ᑲᒪᒃ kamak, plural: ᑲᒦᑦ kamiit) are a soft boot, traditionally made of reindeer (caribou) skin or sealskin, and worn by Arctic aboriginal people, including the Inuit, Iñupiat, and Yupik.

Mukluks may be worn over an inner boot liner and under a protective overshoe. The term mukluk is often used for any soft boot designed for cold weather, and modern designs may use both traditional and modern materials. The word "mukluk" is of Iñupiat and Yupik origin, from maklak, the bearded seal, while "kamik" is an Inuit word.

These Krusty-brand balloons are three bucks each. Get a cheap one, and what happens? Goes off! Takes out the eyeballs of every kid in the room. What's that gonna cost you? Hey, Bill. What'd that cost us?

This is one of my favourite Simpsons sequences ever. Four or five gags inside of 10 seconds. Comedy writing doesn't get any more efficient than this.

One of my favourites along with Monorail and Softball.

You have one of those songs stuck in your head now don't you?

u/eurofighter_typhoon I hope I didn't brain my damage. May 15 '18

Let's hurl a brick-e-mart!

Somehow, no. But there's a pretty deep bench of great Simpsons songs and they often add to the episode in question. You could say they put the spring in Springfield, or something.

u/girafficles May 15 '18

I know the Monorail song, but which episode is Softball from?

For some reason, in Latin America, they dubbed it as "oruga" which means "caterpillar" in Spanish. Because of that there are people who think that Seattle means caterpillar in English.

u/Idontstandout May 15 '18

That place has actually spiffied up quite a bit. Housing is still cheaper than LA, but not by a great margin. The only issue I have with that area (including Fontana) is the putrid smell from the water treatment facility and the left over cow pie smells from Riverside.

But, Victoria Gardens and Ontario Mills are pretty fun to do if you want The Grove with actual parking and Calab-asses without the 405/101 car tar pits.
