Our Favorite Simpsons Moments

by Jeff Rubin on October 25, 2007

The most memorable Simpsons moments, for me, have become a language. “That's where I'm a viking,” is as good as saying sleep. You yell “Boo-urns” when you're the only one who liked something. A “Poochie” is an extreme character with too much attitude, like Sonic the Hedgehog or 50 Cent.

I caption everything over in CH's pictures section and sometimes I let these Simpson-ese phrases sneak through. I know I probably shouldn't, but I feel like if you haven't memorized episodes like Lisa The Vegetarian it's your own fault. You don't deserve to get it. Some of my favorites -

"Oh, Milhouse doesn't count"
RDR^2 - This reference goes all the way back to Bart the Genius, the second episode ever produced. I'll often go to The Simpsons quote when I just can't think of anything else to say. I'm good but I'm no Jay Leno, so it's tough for me to say something funny about zany wedding headline.
When are they going to get to the fireworks factory? - Milhouse whines this gem while waiting for the action to start in the first ever Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie cartoon. It completely and accurately sums up the first half of the Transformers movie.
I Commanded The Flying Hellfish... - Just wanted an excuse to link to this again. Whoever did this is my hero.
Al... let's have sex! - It took The Simpsons less than 30 seconds to deconstruct and tear down all 11 seasons of Married With Children.
Now there's a butt you can set your watch to - When they did a flashback. they really made it count. Even when I'm looking at a picture like this, all I can think about is Grandpa Simpson watching Johnny Unitas.
