Sea­son 21 Episode 12 — Great­est Story Ever D’Ohed

JERUSALEM — In case you missed it, here is the recent “Simp­sons” episode in which the fam­ily vis­its the Holy Land. Here are some of my favorite Simp­sons quotes from this indi­vid­ual show:

  • Let me see… take my fam­ily to a war zone in a bus full of reli­gious lameos to a coun­try with no pork in a desert with no casi­nos! Where do I sign up?” — Homer, won­der­ing if he should go
  • Latkes aren’t as good as Amer­i­can pan­cakes… OK, OK, they’re good with apple­sauce!” — Homer, while being harassed by Israeli secu­rity at the airport.
  • I under­stood almost all of the Hebrew insults that the tour guide spoke and then yelled at Israeli passersby!
  • What, Israeli peo­ple are pushy? How about you expe­ri­ence a cou­ple of geno­cides and see how laid back you are! You stay there, sur­rounded by your great enemy, Canada! Try Syria for two months — then we’ll see who’s pushy!” — the tour guide, played by Sasha Baron Cohen

Peace and chicken. And Simp­sons quotes, Simp­sons party-supplies, and Simp­sons DVDs. (For other qual­ity TV shows I rec­om­mend, see here.)
