“wait a minute…this lesbian bar doesn’t have a fire exit!” is one of the all time simpsons jokes. god dude y’all ever heard about this show. i guess if you watched this every night for years and also read a fuckload of terry pratchett books as a child it would probably shape the way you think about humor forever or something like that

ITT post your favorite simpsons or terry pratchett jokes. sorry if this takes off and it clogs up your timeline but the nice thing is you can silence this post rather than writing a bitchy little complaint about it merely because you refuse to engage with a basic feature of the website. yes i’m feeling kinda punchy why do you ask. anyway my other favorite one is hank scorpio’s “sorry it’s not in packages.” little obvious but it’s really good

I'm so bad at coming up with these on the spot but I do dearly love "I spent the next three years in a POW camp, forced to subsist on a thin stew made of fish, vegetables, prawns, coconut milk, and four kinds of rice. I came close to madness trying to find it here in the States, but they just can't get the spices right!"

As kids/teens, my brother and I would read the Discworld novels voraciously, especially when traveling (which we did a lot) and would often show our parents the best pages or jokes.

My mom's favorite has always been,

The detritus of the night rolled through the gutters, some of it protesting feebly.

I have many favorite moments, but I will always remember the favorite of my late dad, who didn't watch the Simpsons:

(silly voice) "Hello, my name is Mr. Burns. I believe you have a letter for me."

Alll right Mr. Burns what's your first name.

"..."

...

(same silly voice) "I don't know!"

the line from past it's prime that I say to myself constantly is: "food, fun, & fashion. the mall has it all"

maybe the joke i think about (that I got at the time. sorry sneed's) is:
Lisa: Mom, dad, Bart's dead!
Marge & Homer in unison: [gasps]
Bart, sitting up: Dead serious about going to Itchy & Scratchy World

for reasons that will literally require extensive therapy to unpack, the particular enunciation of "ho-mo-sexual" Marge uses in the John Waters ep is forever stuck in my brain and still goes through it on the regular to this day.

The two that fondly cohabitate in my brain forever are:

Joey Joe Joe Jr. Shabadoo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dbi3--k4SM) because it's such a fun take on a cliche and it also has the added bonus of being funny in every language. (Spanish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNUAuz_tn58)

And "the finger thing means the taxes" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8SYQ1u2m7E) is also great accurate political commentary, and the part where the guy jumps out the window and back in really takes advantage of it being a cartoon.
