Homer's glasses
Jedifest
Does anyone else think it's absolutely hilarious when Homer wears his
glasses and tries to be intellectual? My favorite is when they're looking
for a nanny. Gimme some feedback. Thanks.

I think it's cool. No characters on the show wear glasses besides the nerdy
people (Grampa, Database, Ned Flanders, Hans Moleman, Smithers, Milhouse and
Kirk, Professor Frink, Marvin Monroe- need the list go on? (I think I just
opened a can of worms..)). Having Homer wear the glasses strikes a blow for us
with bad vision. Anyone know whic episode Homer first wore the glasses in?

have alert eyeballs drawn on allowing Homer to snooze underneath. On
this occasion he is rumbled by Aboo and is forced to hand them to the
baliff, he responds with his slow o.k before quickly slipping on a
similar pair with eyeballs which display a different expression, this is
priceless and is repeated at the end of the episode in bed when Marge
prepares to tell Homer about her day.#

From the Casino episode - $pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying
and Love Legalised Gambling)
(Homer finds black horn-rimmed glasses in the toilet and puts them on)
Homer: The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles
triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side.
Man in stall: That's a right triangle, you idiot!
Homer: Doh!

And, for those of you who like the Movie References, this is a reference to The
Wizard Of Oz. That is the line the scarecrow used in the movie when he got his
diploma. It is of course, incorrect, as the man in the stall pointed out to
Our Hero Homer.

HEY! Youre right! Ya know it IS a medically proven fact that the same gene
that "causes" intelligence also causes mypoia (near-sightedness). So...if yer

that's APU, Aboo would be that little monkey from Aladin that wore a fez. I
find that there is a rather large difference between the two of them.

You forgot Miss Hoover! And Milhouse's mom! And Ham! And the really
tall guy!
And since when does Springfield have NON-nerdy people? ;)

This was hilarious. It really requires description for those who don't
know....
Homer gets accepted into college... to celebrate he sets fire to his
high school diploma (which is hanging on the lounge wall, and how many
people can claim that of there homes?)
He then precedes to sing
I am so smart!
I am so smart!
S - M - R - T!
I mean, S - M - A - R - T!
While his house begins to burn around his ears.
Another brilliant scene from the same episode...
Homer causes a meltdown in a simulator of his control panel at the
nuclear plant (the simulator doesn't even contain any nuclear fuel)
The vehicle the simulator is in begins sinking into the ground a la
China Syndrome and Homer emerges from the pit glowing green and saying
"Must ... kill .... mankind ...." His watch beeps and he shakes of the
gree glow and says "Oooo, lunch time!."
Bill McNeal
Those two aren't nerdy. Miss Hoover is as sarcastic as CBG (she's one of my
favorite characters, but that has nothing to do with it) and LuAnn isn't a nerd
(I think Pyro would have better taste than that).
>And Ham!
Wasn't Ham a one-time character?
>And the really
>tall guy!
He's not a nerd, he's just pathetic. And besides, he's a jock (captain of the
football team) and therefore not a nerd, according to Homer..
>And since when does Springfield have NON-nerdy people? ;)
Since Roy moved to town.

Not exactly. He had a line in "Lisa the Vegetarian," and showed up in a
few other episodes (at the Knowledgeum in "This Little Wiggy," for
instance).

In what episode was he the captain of the football team?

I find the joke funny every time I see "Homer Goes To College" (which I haven't
seen in at least a year BTW), but whenever I think about it I come up with the
same conclusion- the nuclear technicians SHOULD know Homer, as he's such a
prominent figure at the SNPP (and I doubt that there are two power plants in
the vicinity of Springfield University). Anyone agree?

Um.....he wasn't. The Captain of the Basketball (not football) team was only
seen in "Attack Of The 50 Foot Eyesores" in one of the THOH episodes:
*Wiggum turns around and shoots Captain of the basketball team*
Wiggum: Ah, these monsters aren't so tough.
Lou: But Chief, that wasn't a monster. That was the Captain of the Basketball
team.
Wiggum: Well....He was turning into a monster.
This THOH episode was produced prior to The Very Tall Guy's first appearance in
"22 Short Films About Springfield". Therefore, they are not the same person.

Is it from the creators of "The Sipsons," by any chance?

Which is kind of like the Tazmanian show "The McKimpsons."

I took it to mean that the clean-up crew knows Homer so well because he
has caused so many problems for the SNPP over the years.
Either that or he just "happens" to be around when something goes wrong.

How can you not be certain when you just opened a can of worms? That's just
stupid.
