Question of the Week: ‘Woo-Hoo!’ ‘D’oh!’ et al
July 23, 2007 at 11:03 am by Curt Holman in Randomly NotedHaving been released all of two days ago, the Harry Potter book is ancient pop culture history now, so it’s time for us all to get psyched about The Next Landmark Pop Culture Event, The Simpsons Movie, which opens Friday. So the question is, What is one of your favorite lines from “The Simpsons�
I have too many to recall in full, and could probably think of them more quickly back when the show was at its peak. A few of my favorites are:
Mrs. Krabapple: “Can’t… stop… doing… The Monkey!â€Homer: “But I don’t even believe in Jebus.â€
Comic Book Guy: “It is a very rare ‘Mary Worth’ comic strip in which she advises a friend to commit suicide.’â€
Chief Wiggum: “What is your fascination with my forbidden closet of mystery?â€
But for sheer quantity personal use, my favorite is probably Nelson’s mocking exclamation “HA-Ha!†because it seems to constantly echo throughout my daily life.
