Dunno if its been done so here goes...

Lionel Hutz: This is the greatest case of false advertising I’ve seen since I sued the movie “The Never Ending Story.”

 

[d33my]

Wiggum: Can't you people take the law into your own hands? I mean, we can't be policing the entire city!

 

[MightyFighting]

Skinner: Did you just call me a liar?
Chalmers: No, I said you were fired.

National online plebiscite on carbon tax bad news for Julia Gillard and Labor - news.com.au

Kent Brockman - Now, here are some results from our phone-in poll: 95% of people believe Homer Simpson is guilty. Of course, this is just a television poll which is not legally binding. Unless proposition 304 passes, and we all pray it will.

 

[Si Botak]

Ralph Wiggum - When I grow up, I'm going to Bovine University!

The first group of asylum seekers expected to be sent to Malaysia has been intercepted off the north-west coast of Western Australia.

Under the Malaysia refugee swap deal, Australia will send 800 asylum seekers to Malaysia and accept 4,000 verified refugees in return.

Reminds me a bit of:

Chris Bowen, MP: You're gonna need to come up with an immigration slogan that people are gonna remember you by.
Gillard: Awwh, can't someone else do it?
Bowen: Can't someone else do it… that's PERFECT.

I want to set the record straight: I thought the cop was a prostitute.

 

[evo]

"vote Quimby!"

 

[fairdinkum]

Same culprit as above.

In season five's 'Bart Gets Famous', Bart has popularised the expression 'I didn't do it'. It is found to be particularly amusing when said ironically in situations where a perpetrator clearly did in fact do whatever he is claiming to not have done.

In one scene, Mayor Quimby's wife walks in on the Mayor and Miss Springfield in bed.

Quimby exclaims, while still laying in the bed, 'We, uh, didn't do it'. [Room bursts into laughter].

HSU Guide: Founded by prostitutes in 1849, and serviced by prostitute express riders who could bring in a fresh prostitute from Saint Joe in three days; The HSU quickly became known as a place where The National HSU Secretary could spend a year's worth of members contributions in three minutes.
Homer Simpson: Three minutes.
[whistles]
Marge Simpson: I never realized history was so filthy!
HSU Guide: First on our tour is the whore house. Then we'll visit the cathouse, the brothel, the bordello, and finally the Craig Thomson's office.
Marge Simpson: Oh, thank heaven.
HSU Guide: Lots of prostitutes in there!

Tour guide at Mayor's Office: Tonight uh ... His honour is, polling the electorate

cuts to Quimby/Thomson at whorehouse.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Burns: Use the amnesia ray.
Smithers: You mean the revolver?
Burns: Yes. Don't forget to wipe your own memory when you're done.

 

[Chops_a_must]

Ted Ballieu: Heh heh heh far out man, I haven't seen a bong in years.

 

[Chops_a_must]

Hired goons?

 

[THRILLHO]

"Mother Nature started the fight for survival, and now she wants to quit because she's losing? Well I say, hard cheese!"

 

[fairdinkum]

Very good. You could even go a little further:

'But Mother Nature's not our enemy!'

'Well surely you agree we can do without her'.

'No, I don't agree'

'How dare you disagree with Mr. Burns!'

 

[Chops_a_must]

"Mother Nature started the fight for survival, and now she wants to quit because she's losing? Well I say, hard cheese!"

That's brilliant.

Someone needs to shop that in.

"All my stories are grade A bullplop. Bullplop!"

 

[Truckosaurus]

Not the Simpsons and not quite politics, but close enough

"By jack-knifing from rock to rock at breakneck speed, we should get some sort of gravity boost... or something."

 

[Upton Sinclair]

Not the Simpsons and not quite politics, but close enough

"By jack-knifing from rock to rock at breakneck speed, we should get some sort of gravity boost... or something."

Brilliant

 

[THRILLHO]

Zapp Brannigan: Don't blame yourself, Kif. We were doomed from the start. I guess all that remains now is for the captain to go down with the ship.
Kif: That's surprisingly noble of you, sir.
Zapp Brannigan: No, it's noble of you, Kif. As of now, you're in command. Congratulations, Captain.

"She's built like a cruise liner but she handles like a cruise liner with a massive hole in the hull."
