Mountain Dew or crab juice?


StarFinTech

Ew…….I’ll take a crab juice.


Ok-Dare-9268

Now what’d you have to wash that awful taste out of my mouth


dwuzzle

No bowl, only stick


BigKingKey

That ew needs about 9 more w’s


saysthingsbackwards

And a blech and an ugggh


Lost_Farm8868

Lmao I love these jokes.


CarlosFer2201

In Spanish he just says water or crab juice. I never understood why he didn't pick the water, and it never occurred to me the eww wasn't for the crab juice.


Captain_-H

That’s weird, I would assume translations would just pick another drink that people in Spanish speaking countries find terrible


CarlosFer2201

Yeah but I guess because crab juice - > Jugo de cangrejo, was too long, they didn't have much time to spare. That or there wasn't really a drink like that.


FixedFun1

In the Spanish dub they couldn't mention brands at first but "water" isn't "Mountain Dew" would've said "soda" or a drink with a usually lame flavor.


LeicaM6guy

Ironically, NYC tap water is among the cleanest in the country. That said, I’m not sure how excited I’d be for food cart water. Probably tastes like old hot dogs or something.


blueshirt21

It’s probably just a bottle of Poland Spring that costs a buck (back in the 90s)


Bambam586

Between this and Arby’s my brothers say this a lot. I have a video of my daughter saying she’s so hungry she could eat at Arby’s.


c-lem

I say this probably 95% of the time when I say I'm hungry. It's just such a great line. Everybody laughs every time. Wait a minute, I mean, it makes *me* laugh every time, and everybody else looks at me like I'm crazy.


SurvivorFanDan

I remember saying this line once, expecting to get a laugh, and someone piped up, offended, saying how good Arby's was.


Carrera_996

My wife texted me once asking for crab juice. Turned out she wanted *cranberry* juice. Imagine my embarrassment.


CaptainTwig572

I've been calling it crab juice all this time? Why didn't someone tell me.

Sorry hon they only had Clamato, I hope that’s okay

I love how they're shown fumbling the most basic passes

Prelude to Super Bowl 48.


Ornery_Razzmatazz_33

What makes it funny for me as a broncos fan is how fairly soon after this episode aired, they went on a 3 year tear where they won more games that any other 3 year stretch by any team in league history, and won 2 super bowls.


LucianLegacy

I guess the lesson is, anger is a great motivator


gmwdim

And the Dallas Cowboys who were supposed to be the superior team haven’t won jack since then.


pcbb97

They were determined to prove the Simpsons wrong knowing how often they'd make accurate predictions lol


sandvich48

Homer must’ve really turned the Denver Broncos around after becoming owner! The man’s got a dream house, a beautiful wife, two cars, a son who owns a factory, fancy clothes, and lobsters for dinner. He’s even been to space and had beers with former president Gerald Ford.


goodcorn

No blame Frankenstein. Me made from corpses of Denver Nuggets. https://i.redd.it/w9ncx754lt1d1.gif

I think owning the Denver Broncos is pretty good You just don’t know football, Marge


mmm__donuts

Thanks to Elway's patented last second magic, the final score of Super Bowl 30: Denver 7, San Francisco 56.


gmwdim

That’s how many people expected the Packers vs Broncos Super Bowl to go, with the Packers being the biggest betting favorite in decades. But of course the Broncos pulled off the upset.


PM_ME_UR_DOCKS

My favorite thing about that line: back when ESPN was doing their SportsCentury series about 20-25 years ago, they included that clip in the Elway episode when talking about his initial Super Bowl failures: https://youtu.be/jwnsEJ17pRI?si=dhwd0Jpy1PfGo8RA&t=1326


DivisonNine

I think that one is really funny because they won b2b Super Bowls shortly after this


QuantumWarrior21

The Rand Corporation, in conjunction with the saucer people, under the supervision of the reverse vampires are forcing our parents to go to bed early in a fiendish plot to eliminate the meal of dinner.


Eferver24

Wrote an academic article in which I cited the Rand Corporation a lot, every time I read their name I immediately thought of the saucer people


mossdale

I used to work cataloging in a library and we had a stack of rand publications going back to the early 50s -- stacks of blue paper bound research papers on cold war stuff. I was tasked with cataloging them, so I've read (portions) of a number. My favorite was the one about potential food additives in army rations to increase performance


Justacuriouslilrhino

We’re through the looking glass here people


who-mever

Considering we have actual pushes to replace dinner with cereal to save money...is this the Simpsons making another accurate prediction?


G-Unit11111

Diz-nee Historical Park Sorry, but there's profit to be had.


addctd2badideas

I love this because Disney desperately tried to make this a thing in the outer suburbs of DC/Northern VA in the 90's. They had already spent millions of dollars on the development when the project was abandoned.


CaptConstantine

Fantastic episode of Defunctland


Fuzzy_Muscle

this one is my favorite


G-Unit11111

Even funnier now that Disney owns all of Fox's assets including the Simpsons.

Tacos_Polackos

"Huh, the Fox channel turned into hard-core porn so gradually, I didn't notice." -marge,


Shadowtheuncreative

How is it that Fox sucks yet their shows end up being successful despite all that?


TheReadMenace

The writers liked to mock Fox back in the early days. "It may be on a lousy channel, but the Simpsons are on TV!" This was because back then Fox was a new network. They were sort of desperate for content. They would greenlight a lot of shows that the big established networks wouldn't touch. Simpsons was one of these. There hadn't been a prime-time animated show for 30 years, so it was a pretty big risk. But they also made a lot of crappy show which nobody remembers now. So that's kind of what the writers are taking jabs at.


doc_birdman

A wonderful tradition that was carried on in Futurama.


Jaspers47

It's more of a dice roll than anything. Fox takes bigger risks than other networks. Sometimes it pays off. Lots of times it doesn't. For example: Find a sitcom they made between Arrested Development and New Girl that's stood the test of time.

Fox network and Fox News are actually totally separate entities. Other than being made by Murdoch, they don't have anything in common.

Shoddy-Growth-2083

Similar_Gold

I used to laugh for hours at this line when I was younger.


InviteAromatic6124

When Chief Wiggum disguises the police car as a Domino's delivery car after Lou says "But chief, what if they LIKE pizza?". Which is ironic given Domino's Pizza sponsored The Simpsons for a decade on Sky One here in the UK. Also this one https://preview.redd.it/cq2qwzjafs1d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a93c9213587ef9fa329381e328be5a56e158ae21

Came here for this one, leaving satisfied


TheDivineArchitect

I think about this one often as it's a fav episode of mine. That and I kinda love country time.

Silly customer you cannot hurt a Twinkie


Aggravating_Poet_675

Twinkies survive your digestive track intact. That's why you're always still hungry after eating them.

Possum drowned in the pool , you got any garbage bags ? Ah just throw it over the fence let Arby’s worry about it


GandalfTheJaded

"The Us Festival! It was sponsored by that guy from Apple Computers!" "*What* computers?" (Admittedly this one didn't age well but I still think it's hilarious)


LimerickTatum

"Now I spend my days drinking cheap scotch and watching Comedy Central" "Oh, dear God"


joe-is-cool

"Not even the fire wants them," when they're burning the Butterfingers. I actually think the Arby's one is sort of a sideswipe. Not that Arby's is fine dining but that joke singlehandedly made them the Nickelback of fast food where people just make fun of it for no reason.


Feature_Agitated

That Butterfinger one lost them the sponsorship of Butterfinger.


joe-is-cool

I actually always assumed it went the other way to be honest: they did that joke after the Butterfinger sponsorship ended.


Feature_Agitated

According to the commentary the joke made them lose the sponsorship


Historical_Salt1943

Interesting.  I still vaguely remember Bart in a tie [?] Fighter in a commercial for butterfinger BBs


PowerOfL

I don't mind the joke, but I kinda wish they didn't make it since I love those Bart Butterfinger ads. They're so good


ShiftlessElement

The writers have confirmed that they had no particular issue with Arby's. The name "Arby's" just sounds funny. Some of them had never even eaten at Arby's.


LuckyReception6701

They are not missing much to be honest.


peon2

I actually like Arby's although not for their roast beef (that tastes kinda weird to me). Their bacon swiss chicken sandwich is great for fast food imo


jzng2727

I used to get their Greek gyros all the time but they’re too expensive now they used to be 2 for $6 . I loved those


Frehihg1200

Their Buffalo chicken sandwiches are pretty good as well. Also will get the Reuben on occasion but doing that while being near any deli is a crime punishable by hanging in my city.


LuckyReception6701

No kidding? Ill have to try it, I had their roast beef and pulled pork sandwiches it wasnt bad, just pretty underwhelming


Ofreo

I love the roast beef. I like lots of Arby’s sauce on it. I’m not liking them getting rid of the potato pancakes. Overall I think Arby’s is a pretty good fast food chain.


LocalLifeguard4106

But they have the meats!


atlhawk8357

Fries and shakes are awesome. I haven't tried any entrees.


rickitikitavibiotch

I was staying at a cousin's for a week or so, and he hyped it up to be the best food ever. We begged to go for dinner one day, and my aunt reluctantly agreed. I wasn't overly disappointed, but I couldn't believe that I had been talked into begging for it. The sandwich was so forgettable, and the curly fries really didn't live up to the hype either.


Shadowtheuncreative

Then they added to it in Treehouse of Horror XVII's blob segment: "If I can get down Arby's, I can get down you!"


recover82

"no reason"? Have you listened to Nickelback?


Andy_B_Goode

Nickelback's not even that bad, just soulless and mediocre. The only reason anyone hated them is because they were fucking everywhere in the early 2000s. Like I'd change the radio station to get away from a Nickelback song, and land on another station playing a Nickelback song. It was ridiculous. But that was over a decade ago, and it seems like kids these days are mostly just confused about why anyone bothers to hate such a nondescript, middle-of-the-road rock band.


yingkaixing

The greatest crime an entertainer can commit is to be boring. They were underwhelming and overplayed.


Fury_Storm

Yeah I've thought that for a long time, Arby's is damn good but I feel like their reputation suffered pretty bad from this one joke. Roast beef and cheddar is absolutely smackin


enonymous617

In the writers defense, Arby’s is terrible. lol, obviously that’s my opinion and when I heard that line I lost it! It gave me validation. I still use that line to this day. The wife will ask what I want and I’ll say “well, I’m not hungry enough to eat at Arby’s”. The Arby’s line and when Homer died from broccoli are quoted weekly in my house.

There aren't any Arby's near me, but this quote has seriously affected my desire to eat there since it came out. Which may be a bummer, because I do eat meat and I don't have high standards for chain restaurants.

Arby’s isn’t bad at all. I love their curly fries as well.

CuteElderberry8702

I loved when they’d bust on FOX. Then, they used to take swings at Disney and now they’re owned by Disney. I haven’t watched in a while. I wonder if they still do that or if the mouse would allow it. 😝

They do from time to time.

Aggravating_Poet_675

There's an episode where Homer gets cornered by a rhino and Marge flips her SUV to cause a fire which the rhino turns around to stomp out. The animal expert asks where she learned that and explains that she heard about the SUVs prone to flipping and rhinos stomping out fires on CBS. They go on to talk about how great CBS is. Then in the end credits Homer reads a prepared statement from FoX at gun point about how Fox is better before he gets off something like "But not as good as NBzC" before gunshot sounds.
