| 07.24.07: Ode to the Simpsons |
 In honor of this month's debut of "The Simpsons Movie" , we've been sharing our favorite Simpsons quotes at Cactus . What does this have to do with advertising? It gives a good laugh and "fosters our creativity". Here's our shortlist in no particular order. Marge: Homer, is this how you pictured married life? Homer: Yeah, pretty much, except we drove around in a van solving mysteries. -- (Bart is crying over his dog running away) Homer: Well, crying isn't gonna bring him back. Unless your tears smell like dog food. So you can either sit there crying and eating can after can of dog food until your tears smell enough like dog food to make your dog come back…or you can go out there and find your dog. (Bart leaves to find dog) Homer: Rats! I almost had him eating dog food. -- Homer: Going cold turkey isn’t as delicious as it sounds. -- Homer: Are you saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon? Lisa: No. Homer: Ham? Lisa: No. Homer: Pork chops? Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal. Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal. -- Homer: Here's to alcohol, the cause of—and solution to—all life's problems. -- Homer: Lisa, Vampires are make-believe, like elves, gremlins, and eskimos. -- Homer: You couldn't fool your own mother on the foolingest day of your life with an electrified fooling machine! -- Homer: Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try. -- Homer: Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals—except the weasel. -- Homer: Fame was like a drug, but what was even more like a drug were the drugs. -- Mr. Burns: I suggest you leave immediately. Homer: Or what? You'll release the dogs? Or the bees? Or the dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees at you? -- Homer sitting at his desk at the nuclear power plant. Alarms start going off for a meltdown... All hell starts to break loose. Some big machine falls over in the chaos, and Homer sees something behind the machine... A Cheeto. “Ooooh, Cheese thing.” -- Grandpa: My Homer is not a communist. He may be a liar, a pig, an idiot, a communist, but he is not a porn star. -- Lionel Hutz: Well, he's kind of had it in for me ever since I accidentally ran over his dog. Actually, replace "accidentally" with "repeatedly," and replace "dog" with "son." -- Homer: “Ooooh, barber hair. Italian barber hair.” (puts hair clippings on head) “Hey-a Luigi, let’s-a get-a pizza pie-a. I have-a no job-a.” -- Shopkeeper: [Homer has agreed to purchase a Krusty doll for Bart's birthday] Take this object, but beware it carries a terrible curse! Homer: Ooh, that's bad. Shopkeeper: But it comes with a free frogurt! Homer: That's good. Shopkeeper: The frogurt is also cursed. Homer: That's bad. Shopkeeper: But you get your choice of toppings. Homer: That's good! Shopkeeper: The toppings contain potassium benzoate. [Homer looks puzzled] Shopkeeper: ...That's bad. Homer: Can I go now? We'll post more Cactus faves from the movie, which opens July 27.
