Simpsons Jokes that We Don't Get

Lisa was about to explain everything, but the writers didn't know how to explain it, so they put in the "surf's up" ending as a (bad) joke on how they had written themselves into a corner.
 
At the end of the "Xena" segment of THOH X, CBG says something like: "Must end life in classic Lorne Greene pose from "Battlestar Galactica." Best ... death ... ever!"
I'm familiar with BattleStar Galactica, but I guess I didn't see Lorne Greene's death. What's the story?

I'm sure this has been asked before but, what in the blue hell was the point of the "surf's up" scene in the end of Great Money Caper?


This is a refernce to the old surf movies like Beach Blanket Bingo and Muscle Beach. These were cheesy movies about a group of kids that have to save their beach from evil business men. At the end of the movies no matter what the problem was they would yell Surfs UP! and forget all their problems and go surfing.
 
hello mother dear maybe thats from the exorcist its just meant to be creepy for humours sake moe's big ears, have you ever heard of irony? theres also lots of jokes about yale and harvard. in one ep tho when homer changes his name, at the garden party before at trent steeles, some guy comes up to homer and marge and says oh max power trent said.. and homer goes so marge how do you feel about the economy? in the loud voice explain pls
 
It was Lorne Michaels (creator and executive producer of Saturday Night Live and Kids in the Hall). Apparently the other socialites consider him annoying.

ADAM WEST please read

in the be sharps episode when bart and lisa find the record i dont understand the adam west bit where he spaces out and goes sa ze cha choo etc and looks like he's doing the pulp fiction dance movement john travolta did with sweeping his fingers across his face please explain
 
He wasn't really taking off Pulp Fiction, it was a dance Batman used to do in the 1960's TV show called the Bat 2 C. It was just to show that even after all these years Adam West hadn't let go off Batman.

I know this was a while back in the thread, but about the Long Island Iced Tea Joke: A Long Island Iced gets its name becasue when you have sour mix which is yellow and then you ad a splash of cola it makes it look like iced tea. The long island part is because the firt bar to make the drink was on Long Island. These drink get you real drunk real fast bacause they have so much booze in them this is what the joke was about.

oh man do i feel stupid i thought it was iced tea but i had no iDEA WHY MARGE WAS GETTING SMASHED IF ITS MARJORIE OR WITH A Y WHY NOT MARJ?

He actually said Bob Stupak. He's a builder of mediocre Las Vegas casinos, most notably the Stratosphere (with the tower of the same name). While the tower does attract visitors (I've been there), it's been in financial trouble since it opened.

Um, don't you mean 9F07, "Mr. Plow"? You're thinking of 9F21, "Homer's Barbershop Quartet".

Actually, the dance was called the Bat-usi, a takeoff of a popular dance of the 1960s called the Watusi.

Yeah, I know too much.

what bit the one with the campers and the ''thing'' in the bushes?

LET IT DROP! ;)
i think it was just a wild animal after them, but i always got confused by that too. there was a bear he fought without a pocket knife his got stolen by homer or something. but it sounded like the gremlin off the school bus, same noise but it wouldnt have been the gremlin. werent they telling stories about wild animals to scare the children?. maybe im wrong god forbid.

I never understood the ending of Boy Scouts N The Hood.

Borgnine and the kids are being attacked by a murderous maniac, a la Friday the 13th

Makes sense.

Speaking of which, whatever happened to all the kids' parents? Borgnine seemed to be the only adult there.

(No need to answer, rhetorical question)
