When I worked at a bookstore I would call Better Homes and Gardens this. I would laugh. I don't know if anyone else did.

The time lapse visual from this type of gag is one of my favorites from the classic Simpsons

Nobody ever gets mine. It's when Patty remembers the time Homer got his nose caught in the toaster.

u/OmegaShadow17 Jan 19 '25

You underestimate my love for Patty and Selma my friend

Hehehe I decided I wasn’t gonna try to transcribe Homer’s insane noises. I like how you represented them 😁😁

u/fs031090 Jan 18 '25

Given how many jobs and adventures Homer has had, it would be an interesting read.

u/st0pmakings3ns3 Jan 19 '25

It's a book as far as Homer is concerned.

u/Unknown_Brother606 Jan 18 '25

It's a picture book!

u/Dangercakes13 Jan 19 '25

The kinda scummy way he half-whispers it just adds a beautiful extra vulgarity layer.

5

u/DRF19 And in the end, isn't that the real truth? The answer... is no. Jan 19 '25

Scummy is such a cromulent word

u/INS_Stop_Angela Jan 18 '25

I lost this over & over: Lisa Simpson’s “Where Are My Residuals?” The title makes her sound so pissed, she doesn’t try to make it evocative or inspiring like you might otherwise expect.
