Long explanation to justify this listing:  …So, this is a listing of Simpsons quotes. I tried to practise the list non in club of famousness or funniness or awesomeness, but in order of the quotes that… haunt my brain. Hence, the "of import" tag.

It goes without saying that the Simpsons is generally responsible for my world-view. I know this considering ideas pop into my head, merely when I reverse-engineer them, laboriously, hours afterward, I realize that they're Simpsons quotes.

So I have ideas that I no longer fifty-fifty think of equally being Simpsons quotes; that's how ingrained they are. …It'due south the same fashion that we utilize quotes in our day-to-twenty-four hour period life without realizing that they come from, say, Shakespeare or the Bible. …Similar, when you say "I'm at my wit's stop," practise y'all actually pause and think: "Hey, I'm quoting the Psalms!" No. You do not. Or when you say, "He's living in a fool'southward paradise," are you thinking: "Yup, that'southward Romeo and Juliet." Again: no; you lot don't.

I have to pause and remember that I'm stealing stuff from the Simpsons almost every time I speak. When I make a joke like, "I've said [blank] and so many times, it'south lost all meaning," that'south me quoting the Simpsons, though I don't realize it. And I mean, I must have used the give-and-take "proactive" in about i,000 jokes in my lifetime; it would never occur to me to employ the word seriously. But making fun of that give-and-take isn't my idea; that'southward the Simpson's idea. So anyway — to recapitulate — above are the quotes that are most "important" to me, in terms of shaping my world-view.

"…Simpsons did it." Nosotros're all living in a Simpsons universe at present. The Simpsons has infected my world-view, and all of our earth-views. We view things through a reflexively sarcastic and ironic lens, these days, and the Simpsons is responsible for virtually of this. Information technology's difficult to recall how shocking the Simpsons's mode of humour was when information technology showtime came out. A piffling kid screeching "Stop, finish! He'south already expressionless!" as someone is beaten to decease… that'southward a joke? Well, yes. In the right context, it is.

I was a little kid during the 80s, and during the 80s, we were not ironic or particularly sarcastic. If you demand an example of this, how near — um, random example — how about, say, the movie Top Gun? That'due south sort of the ubër 80s movie, and it's besides a totally absurd, non-cocky-aware moving picture without an ironic bone in its body. Y'all couldn't make a film similar that today; considering our entire sensibility has inverse; due in large part to the Simpsons. If you fabricated Top Gun today, yous'd accept to throw in some ironic, "meta" type humour, just to puncture the balloon of your ain self-importance.

The Simpsons created this habit of ingrained self-mockery; I happen to think that's a great thing. And information technology is, for better or worse, part of the culture that we alive in now. Anyway, that's my essay to justify my silly list; put your favorite/near important Simpsons quotes in the comment section below. God, I left and then many things out; I know, I know, and misquoted stuff; I know. (*Particularly the first entry — "Lisa, if I've learned anything…" — which manifestly I've been misquoting for years; but I left it misquoted, because that's the fashion that I hear it in my head.) …Anyway, in determination; I know, I know.
