Lisa may not have an in your face approach to humor and she may not be
given the best one liners, but she is essential to support the rest of
the cast. She is wonderful to play off of, and she allows the contrast
Homer and Bart need in order to perform.
Homer: Lisa, you and your stories. Mr Burns is a Vampire. Beer kills
brain cells. Now lets go . . . back . . . to that place . . . where our
beds and TV is.

So, do people who are not as smart as you "suck"? "smarter then

shouldn't that be smarter "than" you?

OK, I won't get into name calling - there will be plenty of that - but I'm
curious to know where you are coming from. OK, maybe she isn't as *funny*
as Homer or as devious as Bart or whatever, but the fact is she's there.
There has to be a buffer to the other characters - they need foils. Take
Lisa away and the show suffers big time. The seriousness and the
intelligence she brings to the family are a perfect counterbalance to the
hilarious stuipidity of Homer and Bart. And I look at it this way - when
Lisa *does* say something really funny, it's multiplied. Because of her
unlikeliness to do so, those rare times she fires one off are that much
better. You don't have to like her, but give her some respect. It wouldn't
be a complete family without her.

Unnecessary? Who else besides Marge (whom you likely also hate) will
challenge the other Springfield residents' crazy schemes? It's a basic
concept of humor; every funny man (Homer, Bart) needs a straight
man/woman/girl (Lisa, Marge).
>I think Lisa needs to have a short meeting with Mr. Groening's eraser...
This is totally unsubstantiated, but I heard somewhere that Matt's
original concept for The Simpsons involved an older sister (most likely
named Patty, after his older sister; the name fell into less attractive
use). Anyone else hear about this?

Unnessessary? You're really an idiot.

That isn't what he said. The least you can do is get the qoute right.

You can't even get a qoute right. Sherri & Terri (total IQ: 12) where
acting like tipical 8 year olds, and asking Lisa if she was going to MARRY
a carrot.
>"Yes Lisa, daddy's gonna be a teacher"- Homer Simpson
Again you can't get a qoute right. The correct qoute is "Yes Lisa,
daddy's a teacher."

I wish I could meet you so I could beat the living crap out of you. Why
would you hit her with a car if you are going to hack off her head?

This sentence is improperly constructed. "Sucks" is the third person
singular form of the word "suck", not the infinitive. The verblet
"would" requires an infinitive after it. The correct sentence would be:
"Lisa is a part of the Simpsons, if she was not there then it would suck
even more!".

Go to hell. Naaah, you're going there when you die, so you might as
well enjoy Earth, the closest you'll ever get to Paradise, while you
still can. Make whichever relative of yours who has your inbred

Lisa rules, FUCK YOU. As long as there are animators and knowledge
of the existance and general appearance of Lisa Simpson, she will not die.

Remember, 100% of all people, animated or not, die between the ages of zero
and infinity. A few low-key cartoon characters from the early days of film
(turn of century-1920s) and television (1940s-1950s) have been lost forever
due to poor documentation and deteriorated film. And, when western
civilization goes the way of ancient Rome and we're ruled by barbarians, all
film, television and videotape technology will be forgotten, and filmed and
taped records will decay beyond recognition.

I like the one where Homer asks the family if he's a little bit too
fat. When an answer is not immediately forthcoming , Homer presses the
issue. Lisa responds with:
Sorry dad, but it takes time to properly sugar-coat an answer
(or something like that)
a well-versed and hilarious line.

Actually, I was thinking of the episode where everyone pops up with their

Barney Belches.
Homer does a D'oh,
Marge growls,
Maggie sucks, twice,
Bart says 'eat my shorts',
Lisa looks around, almost in disgust, and says it.

Simply put, great comedy has always had the "straight" character to give a
joke contrast, perspective, and better timing.
Laurel & Hardy
Jerry Lewis & Dean Martin
Eddie Murphy & Tim Kazerinski[sp], etc.
Lisa is essential to the show.

Very true.

Nope. Bad example. Neither of these guys were straight men in this act. They

Good example. Martin was a beautiful foil for Lewis' antics.
One more, and I think the greatest straight man of all time: Bud Abbot.
Another great straight "man" was Audrey Meadows in the Honeymooners. Too bad

We can also point out that Lisa also has her genuinely hilarious moments
and perfect non-sequiters (where'd you get five bucks I want five bucks)
And also, some of the most touching moments are thanks to Lisa, such as
"The Way We Was, Pt. 2" and the end of "Lisa's Wedding."
Yes, Lisa is a great "straight-womyn", but she is also so much more.

That's more of a funny Homer line if it's the one I remember.
Lisa: I'm going to my room now.
Homer : That's it! Go to your room!

No, send Dr Strangelove, please. That's what I like to watch on a

You got most of the lines right. They are in the wrong order, but I'm
not totally sure what the right order is, so I'm not going to bother
correcting you there. Bart actually said, "Ay caramba," not "Eat my
shorts," and you left out Flanders' "Hidely-ho." Lisa's line was "If
anyone wants me, I'll be in my room." This was from the episode
with a title like "Bart Becomes Famous."

Actually, I did see ONE funny Lisa line just the other day. When Lisa
has a pool in the back yard, she becomes Ms Popularity and her brain
tries to give her good advice, but she says "Shut up brain, who needs
you" but later when she needs advice, the brain says "Well...look who's
come crawling back!"
I wonder how long a "favorite Lisa lines" thread would last. I mean, she
may be the unfunniest main character, but of course she's still
necessary (and we need something to get rid of all this "die Lisa die"
bullshit).

Maggie lines" thread. Also, a character doesn't need to have said a lot
of funny lines in order to have a lasting "best lines" thread, since the
same lines get posted to threads over and over again. I mean, just look
at the "best Ralph line" threads, and you'll see "I bent my Wookiee" and
"My cat's breath smells like cat food" approximately 20 thousand million
times.

True. Also they're often witty/clever rather than funny. But these lines
are entertaining even if they don't make you laugh.

For example:
"It's times like these when I'm glad dad has little to no interest in
anything I do' --- from "Dead Putting Society"
and
"Sorry dad - but it takes time to properly sugarcoat an answer"
from "Brush with Greatness"
"We used to have burping contests, but I outgrew it" -
talking about Homer in the Superbowl ep. (forget the name)

I like at the end of the "I didn't do it" ep, when Lisa says that Bart was "a
one-dimensional character with a silly catch phrase." Then, OFF and friends
proceed through all of their catch phrases, and all eyes turn to Lisa. "If
anyone wants me, I'll be in my room."

When Homer was telling Lisa about appropriate times to release her
anger:
Lisa: Then what should I do?
Homer: Just squeeze your rage into a bitter little ball and release
it at an appropriate time, like that day I hit the referree with a
whiskey bottle remember that?
Lisa: Yeah
Homer: When daddy hit the referree?
Lisa: Yeah
Homer: Yes
The way Lisa said Yeah was very cute and funny. I'm not a Lisa fan,
but I thought the above transaction was funny and cute.

Lisa is obnoxious, is selfish, hates it when people are better or smarter than her, disrespects parents, and many other horrible things

plus she doesn't hesitate to help Bart when needed.

original poster may no longer be reading this newsgroup, and may no
