The cut scene from "Brother From Another Series" where Hans Moleman finds Cecil's dropped money and gun. >"Thank you, God, now hand over the rest of it!"
>I don't get it
It's a triple bait and switch. A typical cartoon would just make the joke be about the bad luck of getting something stuck in a street sweeper, so it's funny that Bart's bike appears to make it out fine instead. Then that bait and switch gets subverted as it turns out it actually did wreck the bike, and it's even funnier when it turns out the guy in the street sweeper did it on purpose, as it's incredibly surreal to have some blue collar worker frick over a child in such a small way for no real good reason. Then he falls down a bunch of stairs, which is a great way to heighten the surreal nature of the joke while still allowing for a bit of cantharis.
On their own these jokes would be worth a chuckle, but due to the nature of jokes putting them so close together turns it into a very dense and humorous scene, which was something The Simpsons was very good at doing back in the day. Why the frick did I spend 5 minutes writing this bullshit when you're just baiting though, I don't know. I should get back to work.
I read it and appreciated it anon so your work wasn't in vain.
The sign is a subtle joke. The shop is called "Sneed's Feed & Seed", where feed and seed both end in the sound "-eed", thus rhyming with the name of the owner, Sneed. The sign says that the shop was "Formerly Chuck's", implying that the two words beginning with "F" and "S" would have ended with "-uck", rhyming with "Chuck". So, when Chuck owned the shop, it would have been called "Chuck's Frick and Suck".
Wouldn't it be called Chuck's Feed and Seed since i assume it was still a general store?
You knew, I have loved this gag for decades but it wasn't until just now watching this gif loop that I paid attention to Maggie's reaction to the shotgun going off inches over her head. Unsurprised but mildly irritated.

>Now this technology is new to me, but I'm pretty sure that's Homer Simpson in the oven, rotating slowly. His body temperature has risen to over four hundred degrees - he's literally stewing in his own juices!
>I'm sure he'll offer a fair reward...and then we'll make him double it! >... >Well, why can't I be greedy once in a while?
I like it when they make Marge slightly OOC
Rewatching the show, Marge is probably one of the funniest characters for me just because of the execution of the "boring mom" humour and how her gags come out of nowhere
One trick is to tell em stories that don’t go anywhere – like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. “Give me five bees for a quarter,” you’d say. Now where were we? Oh yeah – the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones, Now, my story begins in 19-dickety-two. We had to say "dickety" cause that Kaiser had stolen our word "twenty". I chased that rascal to get it back, but gave up after dickety-six miles...Not many people know this, but I own the first radio in Springfield. Not much on the air then, just Edison reciting the alphabet over and over. "A" he'd say; then "B." "C" would usually follow.
This joke is a callback, but you don't need that context to understand it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHjhP07HyAs&pp=ygUUaG9tZXIgbGlnaHRlciBmbHVpZCA%3D
Jokes involving Homer arguing with his brain are always top-notch. >"Aw, twenty dollars? I wanted a peanut." >"Twenty dollars can buy many peanuts." >"Explain how!" >"Money can be exchanged for goods and services." >"WOO-HOO!"
That bat used to be wooden, not metal.
Literally any early seasons Homer joke.
Any joke that lands b4 homer is just that dumb

It's a subtle joke, I'm surprised they got away with it.

Literally too many good jokes to decide.

Why DID the chicken cross the road, anyway? I assume it had a reason to get to the other side.
>Honey, women will like what I tell them to like.

I have always really liked this one. Another favourite is 'What's a GYM?' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFrPz1WkBvk
pretty much this whole epsiode
Don't really have a favorite, but The PTA Disbands is pure gold.
this always makes me laugh
Still makes me laugh every single time.

Don't know if it's my favourite, but the first one to come to mind when I read the OP was.
>Watch out for the Shaq Attack!
>I'm sure he'll offer a fair reward...and then we'll make him double it!

Then why did I have the bowl, Bart? Why did I have the bowl?
I don't know why but this scene makes me giggle like the tard I am every time. The whole episode is great but this in particular is hilarious to me

Looks like he absorbed at least a little of that nuclear physics course.
>IT’S IN REVELATIONS, PEOPLE!!
It's that committed tone that sells it for me.
>Yeah. Think about it.

DENTAL PLAN
I always found the Simpsons extremely funny but this is the only time in the whole golden age to made me laugh out loud
Lisa needs braces
Smithers, I'm beginning to think Homer Simpson is not the brilliant tactician I made him out to be...
I enjoy the Skinner Vietnam jokes
I enjoy early-Skinner in general.
