I’m such a big fan of The Simpsons. There can’t be too many who aren’t. It was a big part of my comedic childhood and I’ve mentioned it countless times on my blog, going back to early September 2013 and this wit from Homer. Have eight very funny scenes starring the man himself. Feel free to let me know your favourite or any other memorable jokes from the show.
The scene that has made me laugh most. Poor Homer!
I still can’t hear the word incognito without thinking of this happy, and rather luckless, soul.
Homer sure does love his confectionary!
“You know boy, I don’t think I’ve ever felt as close to you as I do right…”
Hilarious even if you haven’t seen Indiana Jones.
Two great scenes in one here. And jokes on chocolate always get bonus points.

Since my last film quiz on con artists, there have been two sad losses in Hollywood, that of the American director Joel Schumacher (1939 – 2020) and of Italian composer Ennio Morricone (1928). Starting off as a costume designer Schumacher started submitting scripts before he broke into Hollywood and having a wide array of successful films. Morricone is most associated with the so-called ‘spaghetti westerns’, but had a hugely varied nd successful St career in film and television.

Writer and activist James Baldwin (1924-1987) whose immense talent and passion shone through in his themes of race, sex and class.
