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)

1. Oh, ha! I was thinking about putting this one up, but I thought it'd be too long. :P --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 18:26, 4 September 2012 (EDT)
2. Good moment in that episode. -- WebkinzManiaTalkContributionsEditcount 18:56, 7 September 2012 (EDT)

1. Too long to work as a featured quote, no matter how you slice it. -- Mythigator 20:41, 14 September 2012 (EDT)

Comments

• If this gets featured, I'll think of a way to make it not so long, probably make a new quote template to put the speaker on the same line as the quote. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 16:32, 4 September 2012 (EDT)

"Blood Feud"

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

―Homer

"OK, Mr. Burns! Er, what's your first name?"

―Post Office worker

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

―Homer

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

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)

Comments

• 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)
