The trailer for The Simpsons Movie is nearly impossible to review for two reasons:
1. The creators are being very careful to not leak any major information about the plot in any of their advertising. The biggest reveal comes from the official movie website: “Homer must save the world from a catastrophe that he himself created.” Ah, it’s all so much clearer now. Thanks, guys!
2. There’s really no way I can convince you to go SEE IT. If you’re a fan of The Simpsons, you already know you’re going to SEE IT. And if you don’t watch the TV show, you already know you’re going to skip it since the movie is certain to be full of inside jokes that only fans of the show will get (the trailer already makes mention of not knowing what state the Simpsons live in and Mr. Burns’ penchant for releasing the hounds).
So rather than trying to convince you to SEE IT, SEE IT, SEE IT (because I can’t), here are some of my favorite quotes from The Simpsons.
“Me fail English? That’s unpossible!” Ralph Wiggum
“You know me, Marge. I like my beer cold, my TV loud, and my homosexuals fuh-laming!” Homer Simpson
“I am so smart, I am so smart. S-M-R-T…I mean, S-M-A-R-T.” Homer Simpson
“It’s like I’m wearing nothing at all…nothing at all…nothing at all”
“Stupid, sexy Flanders.” Ned Flanders and Homer Simpson
“Dental plan!” Lenny
“Duff beer for me, Duff beer for you, you have a Duff, I’ll have one, too!” creepy animatronic children at Duff Gardens
“Mr. Plow, that’s my name. That name again is Mr. Plow.” Homer’s Mr. Plow jingle
“You look worse than Aunt Patty in the morning. And there ain’t nothing worse than Aunt Patty in the morning!” Lisa Simpson
“Well, he’s kind of had it in for me ever since I accidentally ran over his dog. Actually, replace ‘accidentally’ with ‘repeatedly,’ and replace ‘dog’ with ’son.’” Lionel Hutz
“Ow, my eye! I’m not supposed to get pudding in it!” Lenny
“That guy impressed me, and I’m not easily impressed. Oh my god, a BLUE CAR!” Homer Simpson
