Simpsons References...

Trilby · 03-16-2010, 07:14 AM

Is there something wrong with someone who can relate nearly every situation (psychological, physical, spiritual, cultural, historical) to a Simpsons episode?

I found myself describing an acquaintance as a "Female Comic Book Guy" yesterday.

No. That's a perfectly cromulent description for a person.

A careful study of popular culture will embiggen anyone's mind.

I do that with Seinfeld quotes.

The Simpsons already did everything, therfore they can alwyas be referenced.

One of the favourite lines used in our house mainly by Dazza and the boys is:

It's just a little dirty, it's still good! It's still good!

eta: another thing that is commonly heard is, "That's just like in the Simpsons episode where..."

Yesterday I overheard a cow orker do a Nelson laugh at another cow orker. I cracked up.

hmm, maybe you should cut those 24 hour Simpsons marathons down to twice a week

two days ago I described a childhood pal as a "Ralph Wiggum" - maybe I'm just being lazy?

You're lucky. At least other people know what you're referring to.
My quotes and references come from The League of Gentlemen. And worse than that - sometimes from their DVD commentaries. After all, many things they say aren't funny out of context.

"The earrings, the party hat and the dressing gown - the three things Lon Chaney forgot."

I laugh anyway.
You've got to really.

I did a Simpsons here, but it might have been a bit obscure.
