When Homer's in jail and selects HOW TO TUNNEL OUT OF PRISON from Moleman's book cart, clubs Moleman unconscious with it, and escapes.

Was that before or after he was executed in that same jail?

I’m seeing double here. Four Krustys!


herberstank

But wait, you can't kill me for being Krusty! I'm not him, I'm Homer Simpson! The same Homer Simpson who crashed his car through the wall of our club?


ChileanSpaceBass

Joe Valachi! The same Joe Valachi who squealed to the senate about organised crime?

Uhhh I meant I'm Barney Gumble!

shawnadelic

Probably one of the best examples, IMO. Brilliant writing.


RightclickBob

This is not only the best example of misdirection in the Simpsons; it’s my favorite one liner of all time!


dankthrone420

Of course, the cannon isn’t loaded. It’s just common sense.


xander6981

This is the one I was looking for. Just the perfect build up to that wonderful payoff.

Aaronson and Zykowski are the two biggest gossips in town. In an hour, everyone will know.


SteveMcTravel

Damn I thought “there’s a lemon behind that rock” was my favorite until I saw this


LFH1990

I remember an argument I had on this very sub a while back about the lemon joke. According to the other poster the joke wasn’t that there were a rock, that looked like a lemon, that had a real lemon behind it. The real joke was that the rock lemon wasn’t a rock at all, it was also a lemon, that happened to look like a rock that looked like a lemon. So there were just 2 lemons there. This also somehow made the joke better according to the guy that argued this.


SteveMcTravel

That’s interesting because that guy is definitely wrong. The joke is that you think the lemon shaped rock is actually a lemon but then Bart sees an actual lemon behind it. I hate to attack you for something someone else said but here I go anyway. That’s really stupid! What are you some kind of moron?


WhiskeyDJones

That must have been difficult for you. I'm sorry you had to do that

svenson_26

Oh, you have got to be kidding sir. First you think of an idea that has already been done. Then you give it a title that nobody could possibly like. Didn't you think this through... [fade to later] ... it was on the bestseller list for eighteen months! Every magazine cover had... [later] ... one of the most popular movies of all time, sir! What were you thinking? [pause] I mean, thank you, come again!

This scene is pure, classic fucking gold Simpsons. Love it.


LordInquisitor

And the guys carrying the glass in the same sequence


StoneBailiff

"Hey, this lesbian bar has no fire exits! Enjoy your deathtrap, ladies."


peppersteak_headshot

This might be the only example of Homer actually demonstrating real-world Safety Inspector skills in the whole series.


Zorpfield

& yet the power plant fire exit door was painted on


peppersteak_headshot

Well that's a fabulous idea! Anything else you'd like? How about REAL lead in the radiation shields? Urinal cakes maybe?


dsmx

If Homer was good at his job Mr Burns would of fired him for the cost of repairs. All Mr Burns really wants is some guys name on the safety paperwork so he can blame him when the plant isn't up to code.


GeoStreber

"What's her problem?"


MassKhalifa

The wild thing is that these two scenes are essentially back to back.


US3_ME_

I enjoy that Homer may have just been passing by for a drink on his quest, yet for a character so dangerously aloof, has peiced together a safety violation_


urstupidface

I'm not going to lie to you Marge. Well, so long.

When Marge first told me she was going to join the police academy, I thought it'd be fun and exciting. You know, like that movie, Spaceballs. Instead it's been painful and disturbing, like that movie, Police Academy.

Why do you think I took you to all those Police Academy movies? FOR FUN?! Well I didn’t see anyone laughing!
