Featured quotes are quotes that are considered funny and chosen by the community. You can nominate any quote you want from The Simpsons.

Rules

1. You can only nominate once a month.
2. The quote must be properly sourced and with who said it.

How to nominate

Do your quote like this:
{{Quote|What the quote is|Who said it|What episode}}

If it is more than one line, do it like this:
{{Quote|line 1<br>line 2<br>line 3|Who said it|What episode}}

If it is between two or more people, do it like this:
{{Quote|What person 1 said|Who said it}}<br> {{Quote|What person 2 said|Who said it}}<br> {{Quote|What person 1 said again|Who said it|What episode}}

The episodes don't need square brackets.

1. I like it. We've had quotes and nominations aplenty showing Homer's dumbness; now we've got one showing his gluttony. -- Mythigator 10:23, 15 September 2012 (EDT)

Neutral (1)

1. It's ok, but not really anything super funny. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 20:27, 3 September 2012 (EDT)

1. YES. xD -- WebkinzManiaTalkContributionsEditcount 18:28, 1 August 2012 (EDT)

1. Neutral, only because I don't think the quote is quite as effective without the context. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 20:27, 3 September 2012 (EDT)

"Blood Feud"

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

"I don't know! [outside the post office] Great plan, Bart(!)"

―Homer^[src]

A funny quote from "Blood Feud", and shows Homer's dumbness. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 15:32, 8 September 2012 (EDT)

"The PTA Disbands"

"It took the children forty minutes to locate Canada on the map."

―Marge

"Marge, anyone can miss Canada: all tucked away down there."

―Homer^[src]

lol, I love Homer's line. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 00:41, 13 September 2012 (EDT)

1. Good quote, and works well with just the dialogue. It doesn't need the [commentary inside the square brackets] to be funny or to make sense. -- Mythigator 10:19, 15 September 2012 (EDT)

• I wasn't sure wether or not to keep Bart and Lisa's lines. They aren't really necessary for the joke, but they kinda estalish more context. I dunno. I think this fixes it ok. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 00:41, 13 September 2012 (EDT)
• I think it would work fine if you started it with "It took the children forty minutes ..." -- Mythigator 20:40, 14 September 2012 (EDT)

"Bart Star"

"Hehe, poor Bart. You know, we had a lot of fun tonight. But, there's nothing funny about... vapor lock. It's the third most common cause of stalling. So please, take care of your car and get it checked. I'm Joe Namath. Good night."

1. I like this one. Just when you're expecting Joe to go into some life lesson related to Bart's experience playing football, he goes off onto a completely unexpected tangent. -- Mythigator 15:32, 1 October 2012 (EDT)

"Sideshow Bob Roberts"

"Mayor Quimby supports revolving door prisons. Mayor Quimby even released Sideshow Bob, a man twice convicted of attempted murder. Can you trust a man like Mayor Quimby? Vote Sideshow Bob for Mayor."

1. This one is hilarious on its own. Also, from a satirical perspective, it shows the general inanity of political ads ... which is a particularly topical subject in the USA right now, what with the upcoming Presidential election. -- Mythigator 15:32, 1 October 2012 (EDT)

1. Don't like this as a featured quote, nor did it actually make me laugh. Not the sort of thing we want on the main page either. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 17:12, 8 October 2012 (EDT)
2. Not really funny and not appropriate for the main page. (Although the quote is reflective of Homer's personality and how it might be expressed in whatever prayer life he might have.) -- Mythigator 15:11, 11 October 2012 (EDT)
3. Wait. This is an actual quote?? -- cjc 16:08, 30 November 2012 (EST)
4. Er.... -- WebkinzManiaTalkContributionsEditcount 16:19, 30 November 2012 (EST)

Urm, he said that? What has The Simpsons become? --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 01:43, 4 November 2012 (EST)

Now you see why this quote isn't exactly appropriate for the front page. :-) -- Mythigator 11:19, 6 November 2012 (EST)
