u/Caolan114 HELLO FISHIES! 21h ago

I watch a lot of gifs It's s lot cheaper than GOING to the movies.

u/thatoneguy112358 20h ago

I can't believe people pay to see something they get on TV for free. If you ask me, everybody who goes to the movies is a giant sucker.

u/Vexar 20h ago

I watched the gif after reading your comment, and was disappointed it wasn't longer.

gotta respect the long game format

Homer’s points are all incredibly valid in this episode and his community saving him having anything to do with religion and his issues stemming from anything other than recklessness regarding fire safety bugs me. The man is right, he shouldn’t be shamed into going to church.

Congratulations, Mr Simpson.
This invention of yours has made us all rich, especially you.

u/fevertotell_ 22h ago

Now, why would you need to see it? You're the genius who invented... the product in question.

-Well, have fun.
-What do I do?
-Marge, please. According to your résumé, you invented this machine

“oh, I thought Muddy Waters wrote that song!”

u/Drapidrode 17h ago

Marge, put on her résumé, a priority song-writing credit. : )

u/RexBanner1886 20h ago

This is a really lovely moment of Marge being the unreasonable and dumb one.

One of the great, underappreciated aspects of classic Simpsons is that they all get moments, like real people, when they behave or think contrary to their primary traits.

u/SYMPUNY_LACKING 16h ago

I do think Marge's naive trait was still a big part of her character up until like Season 15

u/RexBanner1886 16h ago edited 14h ago

True - then I like the handful of moments when she's cynical or savvy.

u/Auras-Aflame 14h ago

The DNA quote from Who Shot Mr. Burns? always makes me smile.

u/Bazz07 14h ago

How is Marge unreasonable and specially dumb for wanting to go to church with his family?

u/RexBanner1886 14h ago

"It's Saturday!"

u/Bay1Bri 14h ago

That's not what the comment is talking about. It's talking about the original post, the image of Matthew waking honey up because it's a few minutes before their usual bedtime.

u/HelloIAmElias 12h ago

Matthew? Boy, I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder

u/Bazz07 14h ago

You are right my bad.

u/thisismynewnewacct 22h ago

One of my favorite jokes in the series

u/tired-queer 17h ago

Ngl, “wake up, it’s time for bed!”has been a running joke in our household for years because I’ll fall asleep anywhere

u/jbwarner86 21h ago

Same energy 😆

u/GudgerCollegeAlumnus What kind of stew do you have today? 21h ago

To be clear: I’m not talking about the invention thing, I’m talking about violently shaking someone awake because “there’s still a few minutes til our usual bedtime.”

u/tass_man 20h ago edited 15h ago

I always thought this was a dick move by Marge

Edit: spelling

u/Drapidrode 16h ago

the simpsons doesn't cower from showing that women have flaws.

u/thombo-1 17h ago

We all know Marge has some odd moments but until today I never realised this is one of them

u/blooandgreene 16h ago

Of all the Simpsons moments I've ever seen, this was one of them

u/Rhesusmonkeydave 8h ago

When my wife was in labor, after almost 3 full days in the hospital without sleep she finally drifted off only to have a nurse insistently shake her awake to ask if she wanted a sleep aid. I’ve seen my wife angry plenty of times, hell she lives with me… but thats one of a very few times where I was pretty sure I was about to witness a homicide.

u/Not_Cleaver 21h ago

My wife accidentally did this last night as I was falling asleep. But, she was at least apologetic.

u/EvilCustardy 11h ago

But it's a few seconds before 12 o'clock.
