The other day at college my profesor brings up that she watches the Simpsons, and this causes an utter explosion in the class, with everyone bringing up their favorite phrase, show or quote from the show. This made me wonder, is this show the greatest cult tv show in our generation? Also how many times a week do you use a simpsons quote in your ordinary conversations?

Damn straight it is

SEINFELD 0WN5 J00!!!11
funnier and more influencial on modern day Television!

It\'s an all around good show.. It\'s on of those shows that you don\'t really get tired of watching, even though they are reruns.. At least in my case. :)

Seinfeld?
the Simpsons is 1000 X the show that seinfeld is, IMFO.
Ralph Wiggam is f*ckin great!
"...over there is where I saw the leprechaun. He told me to burn things."
like any of those people on seinfeld could even pay NYC rent, realistically.

I think your college professor should be teaching you and not talking about the simpsons. :mad:

The original or the Carey knock off?
Drew Carey is the absolute stupidest comedian on the face of the earth. That guy should thank his lucky stars for the career he has.

I definetly think that Seinfeld is the greatest show ever made, but the Simpsons is right behind it.
I cant remember the last time me or my friends havent quotes lines from either show less than 10 times a day.
-
Simpsons is the greatest show ever, i quote it everyday, and so do my friends, doesnt matter how many times youve seen it, its as funny as hell!!!
its weeird when were trying to describe something that happend to us, we can always find something similar in the simpsons to compare it to!!!
fave simpson quote
when filming radoactive man
director " thats real acid people, so i wanna see googles"
RM " real acid???!!!"
acid cover radioactive man, but he quickly puts on googles
rm " aghhhhhhhhhh, my eyes, the googles do nothing"
it bring a smile to my face just thinking of it!!!!
there are so many quotes,
one of my fav characters is lenny, i love it how everyone loves him
like when homer ring up pretending lenny is sick
, marge runs into front room and says something along the lines of " kids, i have some bad news, lenny sick"
kids "nooooooo" then they run over to a pic of lenny and start to pray!! or when lenny has plastic surgery, as he (and everone else sell the stocks for loads, but homer sells his for like $33) and evryones up set, and they say," everyones upset, apart from lenny, look at him" plastic surgeryy makes him smile, he think " this is the worst day of my life" or when marge sell houses and one falls apart, with lenny " please dont tel anyone i live like this"
i gotta stop i could go on for ever!!!!

" good god man, not carl, hes a war hero"
"aghhhhhhh doctore said i cant get pudding in my eye"
rofl just thinking about it
-
Watching this show right now... I\'m so damn cool.
-
i think that my favorite character is Ralph, gotta love that little guy. "My cats breath smells like cat food"
oh BTW has anyone noticed that when the series started the shows revolved around Bart, but as the series began to mature, Homer became the main character? Which is understandable because as we all know Homer is one of the most acomplished men of our time, he has a grammy, he\'s been in outter space, was a monorail conducter and saved numerous lives, has stopped nuclear meltdowns, has his face in the dictionary, was a mascot for a major league team, beaten up George Bush Sr., made a movie with Mel Gibson and many other numerous acomplishments, he\'s my hero!
-
The Simpsons take my vote. It\'s damn funny. Whoa, its on now where I live.
-
Some of my favorite Homer quotes are, and not limited to:
"My favorite color is chocolate"
"If we ever have another child, we will name it Baby, that way it will save me a lot of trouble"
Snake threatens to pistol whip Homer
"AHHH! Pistol whip!"
Thinking bubble go over Homer\'s head showing Homer eating a giant bowl of Cool Whip with a hand gun
"Mmmmmm pistol whip"
Home finds a corpse at the bottom of a ravine
"Well that explains why I scream a lot and my fear of corpses"
"If I had a dollar for every time I heard "My God! He\'s covered in some type of goo," I\'d be a rich man"
"There are many different religions in this world, but if you look at them carefully, you\'ll see that they all have one thing in common: They were invented by a giant, superintelligent slug named Dennis. "
-
Seinfeld=The Simpsons, to me their equals, both funny in there own ways, Ralph is great but then again so was Kramer
-
I thought the St. Louis Rams is the greatest show on Earth. ;)

Simpsons wins by being a cartoon and having more mass market appeal..
Seinfeld is a show that had to work its way to the top by being nothing but purely funny, and has more memorable moments and more than likely more famous quotes..
i still like the fact that in its third season (just as it was starting to get good) Seinfeld got a lucritive timesspot following Cheers, and in only a few weeks was outrating cheers..
The Simpsons started as a kids show and for the first 4 seasons or so...sucked my ass, and thats where its installed base came from.. but being a cartoon it gained more recognition through M-A-R-K-E-T-I-N-G
Seinfeld is far more original, far more innovative, and had far better ratings than Simpsons does, did or ever will..
im not saying im not a fan of the simpsons, im willing to bet i could out-quote any of you...its just an inferior show to the might that is Seinfeld
My Fav. Shows are
Seinfeld
Father Ted (great Irish comedy)
Whose Line is it Anyway (British version, Ryan and Coling rock my socks goldyblocks)
Faulty Towers
The Simpsons
p.s. Homer is easily the funniest Simpsons character, the only reason people such as Lenny and Ralph and Cheif Wiggum are so funny (Lenny is my second fav. character) is because they play the cameo roll...they come in for one line, say it, make everyone laugh then leave...you\'ll find that if they are there for much more, then they arent funny)
-
I must say I agree with big Bob here..
Seinfeld is easily more funny.. Every episode is funny.. (That ive seen anyways)
I like the humor better in there.. :)
Simpsons is though my 2nd fav show..

thats true, you see, as Bob pointed out, the show was originally aimed at children and adolescents, but as the show began to change its demographic changed and Homer started to develope into the character he is today...and naturally became popular
-
bah the greatest show in the world would have to be power rangers - oh wait nm thats the crappiest
anyhoo
i love simpsons - senfield is good for a laugh but i dont find jerry too funny at all - now kramer makes some laughs but he gets old sometimes
but anyway i love Whose line is it anyway for neverending laughs - yes im talking about the british one because the original is always better

bah! Jerry is the funniest on it! although they are all \'bout even (\'cept Elaine)

While I really don\'t watch Seinfeld that much at a all but I will tip my hat to them for being very well written, but for the most influential tv show for generation X, I say that the Simpsons has it hands down. When people look back at our generation I see the Simpsons getting the nod as to what show represents Gen-X.
BTW what is the name of the new generation? I\'ve heard it called generation Y, has anybody else heard this?
-
Well, I guess it\'s just me... but I have never been too fond of Seinfeld. It just isn\'t all that IMO.
Here are some funny shows IMO:
The Simpsons
Spin City
Drew Carey Show
I\'d think of more but I\'m tired right now. :)
-
I have a homer simpson soundboard that rox. unfortunately, I got it from CJ, so I can\'t post the link. I will email it if you PM me.
my fave quote is " I like my beer cold, my TV loud and my homosexuals FA-LAMING!"
heh heh, me too.
:laughing:

..... I was saying boo-urns....

How Elaine dances is hilarious, but thats about the only episode where shes funny
-
The original Whose Line... is better but the Carey version is still funny, depsite Carey being annoying, constantly mentioning "The points don\'t matter".
ENOUGH!!!
Colin & Ryan = Funniest. Duo. Ever.

True, but I\'m more eager for season 3, that\'s when the Simpsons truly started to shine, IMO.
Cool sig Delphian
-
simpsons didnt start to shine until its fourth of fifther season really...second was **** :)
-
i which they would just get on the ball and release all of the past seasons on dvd, because bob is right until the fourth season the simpsons were really lacking, they also had that very disturbing color in the animations.

More like its addicting like crack, in the sense it is really bad for you and you shouldn\'t ever touch it (the game that is).
