Perhaps it refers to Clinton's uncanny talent at finding, pardon my
french, poon-tang.

I liked in the end of the Itchy & Scratchy movie ep, when the "Classics of
Animation" showing at the movie theater in the future has THE ITCHY AND
SCRATCHY MOVIE on the marquee in really big letters, and then really tiny
it says "also Beauty and the Beast"

That's Tang as in POON-tang.
Rich Barsumian
I think he is saying "Tang" is short for "Poontang" meaning female sex organs.
But I could be way off. I did not think of that when I saw it.

Well, I dont think many people noticed this, but the episode where Hans
Moleman is executed in the Springfield Police Station ("I didnt know you
could execute people in a local jail" Rev.Lovejoy- "From now on there will
be no talking"), the scenes change to the Simpson home and for a brief
moment, the lights dim which is reference to the electric chair. I thought
that was so clever when i first realized it.

the funniest hidden joke is real subtle I just got it a couple months ago,
it's when Krusty says how he and bette midler owned a horse together. The
horse's name was "Kruddler", obviously a mixture of Krusty and Midler.
However, a much more suitable name for a horse which also comes from
Krusty and Middler is "Misty". I'm sure they did that on purpose, I never
realized that until recently

I think what we're looking for here in the hidden joke is the fact
that Clinton is sort of labeled as a womanizer and Homer's play on
words (close your ears children) is the slang "poon tang". For the
more feebly vernacular a term for vagina.

Well, this isn't the FUNNIEST hidden joke, but it is A hidden joke. When
Marge and Homer are trying to decide what to name their first child, Homer
keeps objecting to the names, saying that kids will make fun of them. For
instance, he doesn't want to call the child "Larry" because he would be
called "Larry fairy." When Marge suggests "Bart," Homer says, "Art, cart,
dart, eart," and then stops. If he had gone one letter further, he might
not have approved of the name.

The funniest hidden joke in the simpsons is at the end of 'Homer Badman'
when Marge is talking and she says' the courts might not work anymore but
so long as everyones video taping everybody justice will be served.' She
says it quickly so I think it counts as a hidden joke and it is funny on
soooo many levels.

Ha ha ha ha ha ahhh. "Tang was developed for the space program..." Ho ho ho!

I guess I'd better let you in on the joke... Tang or PoonTang is slang for a
woman's private parts. And that has been around a lot longer than the space
program!

My favorite hiden joke was in the one where they went on vacation with
Millhouse and Lisa changed her image. The scene was when Homer went into
the store to buy illegal fireworks and says," I'll take a box of condoms,
a disposable enema, some girlie magazines, a bottle of Old Harper, and
some illegal fireworks."
The bottle of Old Harper is a reference to a scene in "American Graffitti"
when Toad tries to buy booze although he's underaged.
Also, Marge had a great line when Homer gets back and she's looking
through the bag and says "I don't know what you have in mind for tonight,
but I don't think I like it."

Must admit, even I missed that one. Pretty clever, writer-type people.
I'll allow it. Hee-hee. Good eye, people. Keep those lame writers on

I once saw a mini-series set during the Roman Empire. In one scene two
characters are walking through a market in Rome and you can hear the
stall vendors shouting in the background. One is shouting:
"Tang! Tang! Delicious Tuscan Tang!"
Until now, I never realised what he was trying to sell.

here's one explanation...
in some circles, a man wears an earring to indicate his preference for
other men. (depends which ear it is in. it does not apply to "every" man
that wears an earring.)
also, pirates are "men of the sea". there is much speculation as to how
some of these men satiate their sexual needs when aboard a ship, in the
absence of women, for months at a time. (speculation only to those whom
have never actually been there.)
if you need further assistance, find an old "village people" album. that
should answer your query (pun intended).

in the valentine episode, when the teacher says : "okay, everyone take

a buddy of mine refers to an excited male dog's 'member' as a "red

A joke I caught on the second viewing of the "Soul Mate" episode was when
Homer is tripping off the chili and when he sees Flanders, Ned ends his
usual "didlly-doodly" clap-trap with "Gabba Gabba Hey" which is a
reference to the song "Pinhead" by the Ramones.

I don't know the exact episode, but in the beginning of it, Homer and
Marge go to church, and Bart and Lisa go to Sunday school. (Bart get's
yelled at for having a walkman, and then Homer takes it).
So anyway...the sermon at church is about the evils of gambling. After
church, Homer and Marge go out and start talking to Rev. Lovejoy. Off
to the lower right side of the screen is a billboard that says
somthing like:
Tonight: Monte Carlo Night!
Monday: Bingo Night!
Tuesday: Casino Night!
I was ROTFLMAO for about the next couple days when I saw that...

As I said a while back, note the word "hidden." Everything mentioned here
is blatantly obvious. "Hidden" jokes would be things like the "Watch Mad
About You" banner on the passing bus that take a freeze-frame or slow-mo
VCR to appreciate.
But, hey, obviously nobody cares except me. It just amazes me when people
continue to follow a thread that obviously doesn't match what they're
writing about.

I don't really remember the specifics, but Mr. Burns finds out that Homer
is sterile because of being exposed to radiation and tries to offer him a
settlement for a two thousand dollars or something, and by way of
explanation tells HOmer that he it is his prize money for winning the First
Annual Montgumery(sp?) Burns Award for the something something in
Excellence. At the awards ceremony the eyes of the guy that is presenting
the award to Homer, are scrolling back and forth like he is reading from a
teleprompter. I guess this isn't really a joke, but I thought it was
pretty damn clever. Kay, shutting up now.

Apu and Homer travel to India to seek knowledge from the Master of Kwik-

or something along those lines.

Note the word "Hidden." The FBI thingf was meant to be obvious. Did anyone

Evil Homer
Hey, how'sabout the time when Bart lines up all the megaphones and say
"testing" and decimates most of Springfield? Pretty subtle, huh? I almost
didn't catch it the first time.
If you're not going to stick to the message title, PLEASE change the damned
thing when you respond. If you don't know how, I will teach you.

I would have to disagree on your best hidden joke. I think that the
episode where side show bob recieves his academy award(I think its an
academy award) in jail. If you notice in the background, one inmate
stoops in front of another while the standing one hands the kneeling one
a container of lip balm.

Well, I don't know how "hidden" this is, but I love the scene in the
Scorpio episode when Homer goes to see him while Scorpio is threatening the
UN on the big screen. Homer is standing in the background, paying no
attention, and he suddenly scratches his butt. Floored me!

Actually the really fuuny part of that sign is that the candy
convention is held in room 1 and the candy-shaped rat poison
convention is held in room 11. (all on the sign of course).
I mean, come on, are you telling me that the only two rooms available
were 1 and 11 and that the rest of the rooms were too small to host
the rat poison convention. And assuming the other rooms were rented
out, why weren't they mentioned. This is just too funny to me to me
to think up logistics for the reasoning. Instead I just rolled on the
floor laughing (i know you can use ROTFL but I think it necessary to
spell it out for this occasion).

Church sign: Evil women in history, from Jezebel to Janet Reno.
Also, when Lisa is in the garden above the Kwiki-Mart, Apu says he likes
to go there to watch violent drive in movies for free. The sign says:
Now showing:
I spit on your grave
I read through your magazines

One of my favorite was from a few years ago when Mad About You was
programed against the Simpsons. A bus quickly drove through the
frame. It was going too fast to read the advertisement on the side,
but if you slow down the tape, it says something like
"Aren't you missing Mad About You?
Sundays at 8:00 only on NBC
MUST SEE TV!"
another little one that went over the head of everyone I know was
Sideshow Bob's prison number. It was 24601, which was Jean Valjean's
from Les Miserables.

I like in Bart's Comet, when Kent Brockman reveals the list of people who are
gay, and the names zoom by on the screen. If you tape it and slow it down,
however, you will see the list of names is actually a list of people who work
for The Simpsons, beginning with Matt Groening himself!

So that's why the show always irks the rednecks. The whole crew are
faggots! We already know they're vego-lezzo-pinko-zionists but this
takes the cake!
