Homer Alone

"This is Arnie Pie with Arnie in the Sky. We've got big problems on the Springfield Memorial Bridge, people. Traffic going waaaay back in both directions. And look out at the corner of 14th and Elm, because I just dropped my bagel."

1. I like this one. It has the slapstick element of "things dropped from a helicopter" but not the "disgusting" element (I think there's also a quote where Arnie pukes out the door). -- Mythigator 13:50, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

• It doesn't seem as good when written out, but the joke was that Lisa asked if it was safe using a flame, and the hairdresser said he was well protected, but didn't say anything about Lisa's safety. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 13:08, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

• You don't get it, Randomno. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 23:15, 4 May 2012 (EDT)

• As far as making the scene easier to picture, I think you could change "flame" to "blow torch" (or something similar), and perhaps add something along the lines of "[Hairdressor pulls a welding mask over his face]" at the end. Just my two cents. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 01:11, 5 May 2012 (EDT)
  • Done. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 08:05, 5 May 2012 (EDT)
• To expand a bit on my "oppose" statement: The more explanatory narrative you need to include for the quote to make sense, the worse its prospects are for being a featured quote. This one would be perfect to include on the episode's Quotes tab, but it doesn't stand on its own well enough to be a featured quote. -- Mythigator 11:31, 6 June 2012 (EDT)
