Simpson jokes so abstract nobody could get
>D'oh!
What kind of life would you need to have where pretending to be retarded on the internet would seem like a worthwhile thing to do?
>>79032573
No Homers!
>>79032573
>first non-brazilian
>>79032704
A joke not even the guys that came up with it understand.
>>79032759
>>79032821
came here to see/post this and I wasn't dissapointed
>>79032982
meme :D
>>79033003
hehe.. mem
>>79032821
I don't get it
>>79033043
Yes, that is, indeed, the point of this thread.
>>79033043
It's just a joke
>>79033115
>fire made it good
That's mostly been their other shows' thing.Though with The Critic "too abstract" or "too smart" meant in-joke that the audience didn't get because they weren't in the building with them and aren't psychic
>>79033346
>in-joke that the audience didn't get because they weren't in the building with them and aren't psychic
I fucking hate when TV shows do that
>>79033043
Look on the shelves. You'll laugh when you see it.
>>79032832
>not subscribed to sponge and vaccuum
>>79033043
"Chuck" didn't even rhyme with "Feed and Seed". so they invented a new name (which is Sneed) instead.
now you fucking get the joke ffs?!
>>79032821
Fucks and Sucks doesn't make sense, idiots.
>>79033043
Chuck's Fuck and Suck
On the kids news episode when Milhouse says "Next week...destroying the evidence" and then Lisa says ewww.
>Homer strangles Bart
Why is this funny?
>>79033598
Because he's a little bastard
>>79032635
Addiction to (You)s.
>>79033504
He shit the bed
"What are you in for?"
"Atmosphere."
>>79033674
He's creating atmosphere with his harmonica
i dont get it
>>79032573
>jeremy's.. iron?
>>79033764
I have a ball. Perhaps you'd like to bounce it?
>>79033457
It could very well be Chuck's Duck and Buck.
>>79033674
>>79033695
Wait this makes sense.
I thought he meant that he was in jail by choice because he enjoys the atmosphere.
>>79032821
>>79033043
The previous name of the store was, simply, Chuck's. That's it. Chuck's. There is no joke. All these perverted examples are just people projecting their degeneracy.
can someone explain this to me?
>>79033975
It's a sleazy hotel because they show adult movies (Michael Moore, Quentin Tarantino, etc.) Those directors take themselves seriously but in actuality are sleazy.
>>79033742
>>79033764
Serious question: what answer did he expect?
>>79033764
>>79034646
what about Jerem's Irony ?
>>79034047
Thanks for reminding me how awful the latest season of south park was
>>79033390
She just thinks they're neat
>>79032821
>>79035272
>sneed's suck and fuck
?????
>Marge
"Come on Homie, Japan will be fun"
"You liked Rashomon"
>Homer
"That's not how I remember it"
>>79032821
Chuck Sneed was a writing freelancer who won a bet to be in an episode, but Groening hated him and this was what he put in for his cameo
why did this kid get an entire scene?
>>79033441
I thought the joke was that sneed just happened to buy a store that rhymed perfectly with his name
>>79036361
That's the joke, yes.
>>79036982
good then I'm not autistic
>>79037011
yes you are
>Wee, I'm Dick Tracy, take that Pruneface!
>Now I'm Pruneface, take that Dick Tracy!
>Now I'm Prune Tracy, take that-
>>79036298
because is the typical hippie groovy dude that you see in old movies despite him being a 90s kid
>>79033115
>homer popularized lean before DJ Screw
>>79033390
This is my favorite joke in the whole show.
>>79036065
this is one of my favourite simpsons jokes the normies just dont get it
>>79033648
Y U
>>79032821
The joke is to keep the rhyme it would have to be "chuck's fuck and suck" but the other part of the joke is that it was simply "chuck's feed and seed" and "Sneed" rhyming with feed and seed is just a coincidence.
>>79040415
you so quirky xD
>>79041264
No, I just think they captured that innate and subtle weirdness most full-time moms have in a single non-sequitor. It's the same reason I love Peggy Hill. She's so incredibly particular in a way that feels less like a character and more like a real person.
So Marge just like potatoes. I feel like that speaks so much about a character who typically got shafted into roles about being a buzzkill or trying to break away from her mom-ness. This joke embraces it
>>79034646
Jersey Minor
>>79037942
This is my favorite joke from the series
>>79032821
>>79032982
>>79033043
https://youtu.be/f39I-UCl9Qo?t=44s
It doesn't make any sense but it's so fucking funny
>>79032573
Never understood this one
>Oh I hate Japan! I wanted to go to Jamaica!
>You liked Rashomon.
>That's not how I remember it
Seriously one of my favorite jokes as it would easily fly over your head if you didn't understand that Rashomon's whole point was basically "That's not how I remembered it".
>>79044097
It's German for Fuck Chuck Suck
Can someone explain this to me? I understand I may be too young to get it but how does this guy relate to babies?
Or does he have no relation to babies whatsoever and was included randomly?
>>79044242
I don't know the episode so the context might be important, but Hitchcock was famous for having small cameos in his movies, like Stan Lee except not a hack.
People are just memeing when people bring up the Rashomon joke right? I can't tell anymore.
>>79044296
Streetcar episode.
Homer goes outside the kindergarden, shudders and says "Babies".
Maybe it's something to related to his movies.
>>79044242
>>79044370
Okay found the clip
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95ScJje1e8I
The previous scene is a reference to Alfred Hitchcock's film The Birds, guy walking his dog is Alfred Hitchcock, known for always having a brief cameo in each of his films
>>79044405
Also for his cameo in that movie specifically he walks some dogs.
>>79032832
This name gets me every time
>>79032704
what did he mean with this?
>>79045588
Explained in the commentary. They wanted him to say he was the first non-fictional character to travel through time.
Fox had some weird reason why this wasn't acceptable and asked them to change it. They changed it to Brazilian because why the fuck not.
>>79045883
It was Fox that changed it? I always thought Dan Castellaneta improvised it.
>>79033869
Or even Chuck's Shuck Amok
>>79046006
Maybe it was Dan that improvised 'Brazilian' but I'm pretty sure Fox were the ones who wanted it changed.
should i watch this show? is good? when does it start getting bad?
>>79046114
Season 1-2 are a little awkward, slower paced but still good
Season 3-8 Prime Simpsons
Season 9 the downfall
Season 10 onwards don't bother
You've got eight seasons of premium content to enjoy! Go nuts.
>>79046114
If you're not meming, you literally can't go wrong with seasons 3-7. Seasons 1,2, and 8-10 are good depending on taste and opinion.
>simpsons not on netflix

>>79047010
I can't remember the name of them but:
1. (fave even tho it's newer) the one with lisa kudrow and she gets popular and Lisa is lame and Bart and homer make the grease selling business scheme
2. When Marge joins the country club with the Chanel dress
3. When Marge has the gambling problem
>"Don't worry, Marge. Her idea of wit is nothing more than an incisive observation humorously phrased and delivered with impeccable timing."
>>79047771
>1. (fave even tho it's newer) the one with lisa kudrow and she gets popular and Lisa is lame and Bart and homer make the grease selling business scheme

>>79047010
>you only move twice
>homer at the bat
>bart of darkness
>>79032573
>this is what elementary school felt like
>>79033899
He's also creating the atmosphere of a jail by being in there, being a stereotypical prisoner and all
The intelligence levels exhibited on this thread confuse me.
URL says I'm still on 4chan yet I'm reading comments about "context" and Rashomon and ... is this an alternate universe? Who is President?
>>79048562
some of us are actually interested in movies m8
>"So, I says to Mabel, I says..."
Seriously, someone explain this to me. Was it ever mentioned in commentary or something?
>>79048856
It's a reference to a show from way before simpsons ever aired.
>>79041426
You are so goddamn boring.
>>79049230
What show?
>scooby-doo can doo doo, but jimmy carter is smarter
I don't understand this one
was it supposed to be a reference to something?
>>79033899
it's le 4th wall break joke. He's implying that he is aware of his status as a bit player in Homer's tale, and he is simply there to add atmosphere to Homer's scene, for us the viewer, with his cliche harmonica playing.
>>79033929
The brilliance of the Simpsons is that jokes are funny on several levels.
The low brow people can laugh at "Chuck's Fuck & Suck".
But I just laughed that such a simple name like "Chuck's" was changed to a Dr Seuss like "Sneed's Feed & Seed."
>>79049621
The joke is that Skinner failed to cook steamed CLAMS, and refused to come clean to the Superintendent that he had made a mistake. He then went to the local Krusty Burger and tried to pass off the fast food sandwich as his own family recipe. In doing so, he successfully convinced Chalmers that he, Chalmers, had misheard CLAMS as HAMS, despite the fact that they are quite obviously grilled.
>>79049336
Not sure some anon managed to link the original clip of it before though
>>79049782
shiiiiieeet
How long ago?
>>79047010
Mountain of Madness
Selma's Choice
Lisa's Rival

Or jeer my sin
>>79049336
I think is this one

>>79032821
Chuck's Feed & Seed?
You'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel.
>>79033457
Why would someone call a brothel a fuck and suck?
>Welcome to Reed's Eats and diabet-es
>>79049292
This is why /tv/ will never be decent
>>79032862
heh
>>79049906
Holy fuck I just got this
>>79048856
I don't know but people literally talked like this all the time in the 60s and 70s. "I sez I sez I sez to them" and Mabel was a very common name at the time.
My grandmother literally said it one day. Mabel was a fierce bridge competitor.
>>79050740
yeah the joke is Homer hears through his testes. Normally his blue pants allow enough sound for him to hear perfectly fine, but the towel muffled the phone conversation significantly.
>tfw not as dumb as most of the people itt
>>79047081
>>79048035
People really have Homer at the Bat in their top three? It has it's moments but I find it dated because it was so centred around it's (American) athletes doing their own voices.
I don't mind it but it's never tops my list when I'm rewatching episodes
>>79051124
tesseract brain i like this one
>>79049292
Not smart enough to appreciate Marges unique brand of Mom humour
>>79047633
>I know you can read my thoughts boy
>thinks of meow mix
>>79033929
This and only this.
I don't know maybe I am reading too much into this but Richard Nixon was known for being infamously clumsy in the white house, to the point that when giving medals the staff had him put it on the honoree with tape, because Nixon could accidently poke them with the pin.
So I can't quite tell if Nixon bashing the guy instead of the snake is just a reference to that or if it's just a cheaper dig that Nixon was crazy/evil.
>>79033267
Like on Top Gear
>>79051766
I think it's just a cheap dig at him. They always make negative references to Nixon.
>What's that rule?
>Play it cool.
Was this a reference to something?
>>79052024
Cool scene
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSJMISy5UgY
>>79049417
this is brilliant for how poorly it's crafted, i can't get over how they can just nail joke after joke yet still be able to hone in on what makes a bad joke just fucking awful
>>79047010
In no particular order:
Last Exit to Springfield
Bart gets an F
Homer Badman
I'm mad as hell that I didn't include Homer at the Bat; Lemon of Troy; Who Shot Mr. Burns; and the Rex Banner one.
>>79032832
>>79033429
>>79044936
English is not my first language so I ask of you; why is Benevenstanciano funny? Is it the pronunciation of it?
>>79047010
>Last Exit to Springfield
>Lisa's First Word
>Kamp Krusty
There are so many others that come to mind, but I can watch those ones over and over again.
>>79052699
Yeah, Julie Kavners delivery of the line and it's comically exaggerated length makes it a funny moment.
>>79032573
I don't know if it's exactly abstract, but I'm sure most people didn't get this one until the teacher explained it.
>>79054430
>3^2
>Retarded notation
>Wrong graph
>Sum has no indices
Aren't the writters mathematicians? Shit joke.
>>79036065
I felt pretty cultured when I got this one. I don't feel that often.
fuck you /tv/ with your stupid comfort memes
>>79036065
Took me a second to get it. Pretty funny
