Which is your favorite "Simpsons" sight gag or visual joke...
Edited on Tue Mar-30-04 06:40 PM by battleknight24
... of all the non-spoken jokes, this is one of my favorites...

I think its the episode where Homer gains weight to go on disability...

At the movie theater, homer wants to see the movie 'Honk if Your Horny, starring Pauly Shore and Faye Dunaway'


Peace,

3. Off the top of my head...
Mrs. Crabapple reading "Fear of Flying" during class.

Halloween episode in which Mrs. Crabapple is reading "The Joy of Cooking Milhouse."

Episode with the Who in which Kent Brockman shows a photo of Homer, Moe, Carl, and Lenny in the exact same pose as the Who on the album "Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy."

Homer's t-shirt which reads "USA: JUST TRY AND STOP US!" with a photo of Uncle Same devouring the planet.

Newspaper article with a hippo in a police hat: "HIPPO PROMOTED TO SERGEANT."

The dead rabbit that shoots out of the ground and scares the Flandersss when the garbage piles up under the city too high.

4. The Enron Rollercoaster
Where you go up, up, up to only to find no more tracks and everyone falls straight down.

A close second is the Davey and Goliath spoof. (Remember that Christian cartoon).

"Whatsha doin' Gravey"
"I'm building a pipebomb"
"Isn't that dangerous Gravey"?

7. The one that strikes me inexplicably funny is
"The Old Mill: Now 45% Quainter."

I also like the newspaper headline in the episode in which Sideshow Bob runs for mayor, and Bart and Lisa discover that he's registered names not only from the cemetery but from the pet cemetery.

The headline reads: "Why shouldn't dead pets vote?"
