Marge Simpson: Gosh I thought he’d be happier in his own habitat.
Wildlife refuge guy: Oh I think he is
Marge Simpson: Then why is he attacking all those other elephants?
Willife refuge guy: Well, animals are a lot like people, Mrs. Simpson. Some of them act badly because they’ve had a hard life or have been mistreated. But, like people, some of them are just jerks. Stop that, Mr. Simpson.
I’ve quoted the show about a dozen times but it really has made me laugh so much. Still running despite starting in 1989, its a show that has provided so many great scenes, especially in its earliest years.
“Some people are just jerks” is one of my personal favorite lines from The Simpsons. The show pretty much has a line for every situation.
Pretty much. I just rewatched Lisa’s Substitute. So many great lines in there. “A vote for Bart is a vote for Anarchy” is classic.
The writing on this show is actually really thoughtful. One of my favorite programs too.
I know. So easy to rewatch all the episodes. The last one I saw was Lisa’s Substitute. As moving as it is funny.
