Sometimes, it’s not really easy to take The Simpsons for granted – it has been around for more than 30 years and has gone on to inspire so many shows in its wake and it could be really tough to actually remember how earth-shattering different Simpsons felt during the 90s as compared to now. However, it just takes one a quick rewatch on FXX or Disney Plus to remember how hilarious and ahead of the time the series and well, some of its jokes were – with some even holding significance till date. Here are some of the best lines picked from The Simpsons:
13. “A woman is like a beer. They smell good. They look good. And you’d step over your own mother just to get one…”
12. “Then we figured out we could park them in front of the TV. That’s how I was raised, and I turned out TV.
11. “What religion are you?” “You know, the one with all the well-meaning rules that don’t work out in real life. Uh… Christianity!”
10. “Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It’s what separates us from the animals. Except the weasel.”
9. “The code of the schoolyard, Marge! The rules that teach a boy how to be a man! Let’s see: Don’t tattle. Always make fun of those different from you. Never say anything unless you’re sure everyone feels exactly the same way you do.”
8. “What is a wedding? Webster’s Dictionary describes a ‘wedding’ as… ‘the process of removing weeds from one’s garden.’”
7. “I’ll keep it short and sweet: Family, religion, friendship. These are the three demons you must slay if you wish to succeed in business.”
6. “‘Attempted Murder.’ Now, honestly, what is that? Do they give a Nobel Prize for ‘Attempted Chemistry?’”
5. “People die all the time, just like that. Why, you could wake up dead tomorrow. Well, goodnight!”
4. “I used to be ‘with it.’ Then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it.’ And what’s ‘it’ feels weird and scary to me. It’ll happen to you.”
3. “The three little sentences that will get you through life. Number One: Cover for me. Number Two: Oh, good idea, boss. Number Three: It was like that when I got here.”
2. “If you don’t like your job, you don’t strike. You just go in there every day and do it really half-a**ed. That’s the AMERICAN Way.”
1. “I’m gonna miss the whole summer.” “Don’t worry, boy. When you get a job like me, you’ll miss every summer!”
