Funny Burns-isms
Madeleine E Jarolimek
I am hoping you can help me gather as many outdated Mr. Burns expressions
as possible. Things like 'hoy-hoy' serve as just one example. I am
hoping to get his gibberish (at wedding "We've heard enough about
bliz-blaz and flin-flam") to outdated expressions ("poste haste" and
"autogyro").
Thanks!

Fill me up with petroleum distilate and re-vulcanize my tires, post-haste!

I always like the dialogues that go like the following exchange. Has someone
catalogued all of them?
B: Who is that gastropod, Smithers?
S: Why that's Homer Simpson sir, one of your organ banks from sector 7G.

I couldn't say whether or not he has ever said "motorcar" but surely
"horseless carriage" would be more in character.

I thought it was funny when the Ramones were on stage playing and Mr. Burns
said (paraphrased) "Get the Rolling Stones out of here and have them beaten."

BURNS: Have the Rolling Stones killed.
SMITHERS: But sir...
BURNS: DO IT!!!!!
At this point, I THINK Smithers pulls out a cell phone, but I could be wrong
about that. It WAS hilarious though ;-)

when homer plays his head like the bongos
"oh i should be resisting this, but im paralyzed with rage....and island
rhythms"
why should the race go to the swift, or the jumble to the quick
witted....should they be allowed to win merely due to the gifts God gave
them??....well i say cheating is the gift man gives himself!!

faced teenager is hilarious. does anyone have it somewhere. it's from
the episode where Homer's mom comes back. myabee i'll go find the
capsule and get it myself (what a novel idea!)

He definitely has a thing for not using the correct term for
transportation. I believe I already mentioned 'auto-gyro'(a plane), but
that
coupled with his pronunciation of 'aeromail' (emphasis on the 'e') is too
funny.

What about the exchange between Homer and Mr. Burns in "Last Exit to
Springfield"...this was one of my all-time favorite scenes! I don't think
*anyone* uses the "bedfellows" expression anymore.
Mr. Burns calls Homer into his office to try to negotiate the terms of the
strike:
Burns: We don't have to be adversaries, Homer.
We both want a fair union contract.
Homer: [thinking] Why is Mr. Burns being so nice to me?
Burns: And if you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.
Homer: [thinking] Wait a minute. Is he coming onto me?
Burns: I mean, if I should slip something into your pocket, what's
the harm?
Homer: [thinking] My God! He <is> coming onto me!
Burns: After all, negotiations make strange bedfellows.
[chuckle] [wink]
Homer: [thinking] Aaaaaagh!
[aloud]
Sorry, Mr. Burns, but I don't go in for these backdoor
shenanigans. Sure, I'm flattered, maybe even a little curious,
but the answer is no!
Nice innuendos. Hehehe!

I only know of one case where people use bedfellows: "politics makes
strange bedfellows," and it's certainly not unpopular.

from "Homer the Smithers":
I thought I'd chauffeur myself this evening.
Yes, that's what I thought. How difficult could it be? I'm sure
the manual will indicate which lever is the velocitator and
which the deceleratrix, hmm?
perhaps he gets it from his mother :
Mrs. Burns: That improvident lackwit? Always too busy stridin' about
his atom mill to call his own mother. I'll give him
what-fors 'till he cries brassafrax!

Or how about
Burns: Smithers are they boo-ing me?
Smithers: No. They're saying Bu-urns! Bu-urns!
Burns: (to crowd) Are you people saying boo or Bu-urns?
Crowd: Boo!!
Hans Moleman: I was saying Bu-urns.
Hans Moleman had the funniest line but Burns was in it so I guess I could
mention it.

We may have to change it to "politics makes strange
Oval-Office-fellows."

My favourite Burns old-fashioned saying is "uh-hoy-hoy" when he answers
the phone.
I also remember when he drove up to the gas station with Marge standing
by a gas pump (the episode about the country club membership). He said
something like: you there, fill it up with petrol and re-vulcanize my
tires.

BURNS: Have the Rolling Stones killed.
SMITHERS: But sir...
BURNS: DO IT!!!!!
At this point, I THINK Smithers pulls out a cell phone, but I could be wrong
about that. It WAS hilarious though ;-)
What episode was this?
David Puckett
that it was Mr. Burns' birthday...
I also seem to recall a scene where, at the end of the birthday, Mr. Burns
calls in a bunch of goons in SWAT gear and they start fighting with all of
the guests... but that could be wrong too

Burns: Ironic, isn't it Smithers? This anonymous clan of slack-jawed
troglodytes cost me the election. And yet, if I were to have them killed, _I_
would be the one thrown in jail! That's Democracy for you!
Smithers: You're noble in defeat, sir.

Actually, I'm going to expand it by asking if anyone has a list of all
the questions Burns asks Smithers when he wants to know who HOmer Simpson
is. I believe someone already mentioned "Who is that gastropod,
Smithers?". Thanks!

Yeah, and I'm only going to correct it because that's gotta be one of
my favourites as well, and is much funnier this way:
"Market research shows that people see you as something of an ogre."
"I ought to club them and eat their bones!"

telephone "Hello" was not a common term expression. Once the telephone
was invented "Ahoy-hoy" was the phrase termed for a person to use once
he answered it. It never caught on "hello" did. Thus that "Ahoy Hoy" is
an inside joke to Mr. Burns great age. Get the book "The Simpsons a
