Avatar Game 6/13 to 6/19

[Matt Algren]

I had a whole first post written out, and decided right before I hit the button that it was too narrow a topic. So instead, we're playing with The Simpsons. They've been around for, what, 18 years now? (Wait, that means that people who were born during their first season can vote. That makes me old.) There's plenty of material. There's even some new material making the rounds that started right here at CBR. (hint hint Michael Pullmann*.)

I'll pick mine in awhile after some other people have called some dibs.

A few rules:


1) This is a game. No getting your feelings hurt. No fighting. No lobbying for votes. There is no cash prize at the end.

2) The person who wins the previous game picks a theme. Any poster who wants to enter makes an avatar that fits the theme. Come Tuesday of the following week, anyone (whether they had an avatar entered or not) can vote on whose is the “best”. The only prize is that the winner gets to pick the next contest.

3) If you suggest avatars to others, prepare to be mocked.





*I'm coming dangerously close to breaking rule #3 and I don't care.

[Winslow]

I'm going for the obvious nerd choice for comic fans.

Comic Book Guy.

I'm calling dibs on the musical "Stop the Planet of the Apes, I Want to Get Off." Avatar coming late this afternoon probably.

Too many choices...
This is gonna take me awhile.

[Merey]

Yay! I was just telling someone that I hoped the next category was going to be The Simpsons because I already had my avatar picked out. It's not going to be a winner, but it certainly makes me smile.

So folks, here's true genius immortalized in cartoony goodness:



Mr. Stephen Sondheim

Dibs on the coolest villain on TV, Frank Grimes.

I did it just for you.

Favorite Itchy and Scratchy ever:

Porch Pals
Scratchy: "Lemonade?"
Itchy: "Please."
Scratchy: "I made it just for you."
Itchy: "You are my best friend. Mmm. This really hits the spot."
Scratchy: "Doesn't it though?"
Itchy: "You make really good lemonade, Scratchy."
Scratchy: "Thank you, Itchy."

Well, I was saving this one for an "Abominations of Science" contest but no one who won ever thought of it so I'll just use it here.

That's the episode with the steelworkers right? I love that episode.

"Corn in the Kitchen?? Marge you are the Limit!"

"I like my beer cold, my TV loud, and my homosexuals fa-laaaaming."

[Mac Danny]

Dibs on the coolest villain on TV, Frank Grimes.

I live above one bowling alley, and below another bowling alley.

Damn this theme. Now I can't guarantee myself votes with a Simpsons avatar!

I've needed a new avatar for a while now, so I'm going with McBain.

[Jared_Humpherys]

Dibs on Jay Sherman - The Critic.

He guest-starred on more than one occasion, after all.

Cat lover that I am, I had to go with the first Snowball, if only because she inspired one of the greatest paeans to preadolescent angst ever:

Reflections on Turning Eight
by Lisa Simpson

I had a cat named Snowball
She died! She died!
Mom said she was sleeping
She lied! She lied!
Why oh why is my cat dead?
Couldn't that Chrysler hit me instead?

Cei-U!
I tug the heartstrings!

[Perry Holley]

Dibs on Troy McClure.

[jessecuster3]

Yeah I am going there: OJ Simpson and his wife Nicole, the Simpsons.

Leonard Nimoy was left in as he's cool too.

I also love Milhouse's quote to Lisa when he signs her yearbook. "see you in the car. -Milhouse."

Milhouse is just great. Love that guy

[K'Nort]

I've seen criminally few episodes of the Simpsons, so I'll go with what the show and I have in common: Portland Oregon.

http://www.capstone.org/img/portland.gif

Groening is from there, and many characters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Simpsons_name_origins)were named after streets in my old neighborhood.

[Guapo Méndez]

I see that I very nearly lost the Carbon Rod, so I'll stake my claim right now.

This... I do not understand..

Look at it as columns instead of rows. The one with the rings is her head. The little end of the 2nd 2 is her arm.

Once you see it, you'll see nothing else.

She's giving a blowjob to the guy in the left column.

Hey dudes - kinda new to the game, but I've been lurking for a while. So, um, 'HI!'

Lots of ideas - most of which you dudes already took, but I'm gonna go w/ my favorite Treehouse ep., Treehouse of Horror V: The Shinning

http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u28/Scott-Evil/Homer.jpg

Shinning Homer: All work and no play make Homer.. go.. something.. or something..

Since I'm a bartender, I deal with guys like Barney too often. I thought about Moe, but since I also also spend waaaaaay too much time sitting at bars, Barney for me is a better choice.

Scratch that -- the website said the image was too large even though I used Paintshop to crop it down to 80 x 80. I made it smaller and it still did not work.

Try a different source image.

"Hi, I'm Troy McClure, you might remember me from such online flamewars as "Wolverine vs Cyclops: Who's the bigger doo-doo head?" and "You fascist moderators are oppressing me!" For this week, and this week only, I will be playing the part of Perry Holley's avatar.

Leonard Nimoy was left in as he's cool too.
Trivia Time: Originally, George Takai was supposed to be there instead of Nimoy. He was on the Board of Directors for the Southern California Rapid Transit District and wouldn't do the show because they showed monorails in a negative light.

So we're clear, I can't vote this week. I've seen too many, "Yes! Perfect choice!"

The Homer in the Shinning episode reminds me of last year because my office mate went crazy and began writing all over the office wall.

Not correct but..

Homer: Hey Apu,give me some of that beer with candy floating in it.Y'know,Skittlebrau?

I have no idea how I forgot about this the first time round, but I would like to change my avatar to Duffman. Avatar to follow.

"Duffman can never die! Only the actors that portray him, oh yeah!"

No mention of the Movie coming out next month..... D'oh

[4thHorseman]

Oh jeez, does nobody ever remember Gil? PLEASE REMEMBER POOR GIL!

[BizarroBeachHead]

I don't know if this disqualifies me from voting(which is fine) but I changed my avatar to the single most important man to influence the Simpsons.

Well, it's Tuesday, so I'd like to vote for Mac Danny with Hank Scorpio! Love that episode.

[Tony Bang]

Vote for Jared_Humpherys. The Critic was such a fine show.

[Chris Nowlin]

I just can't decide yet.

And I don't want this contest to end.

Best. Avatars. Ever.

[thomas_catbiscuit]

winslow gets my vote

[Perry Holley]

thomas_catbiscuit

[Spackling Compound]

coke&comics gets my vote for two reasons:
1. Stan Lee is just a great character.
2. It's amazing how recognizable Lee is "Simpsonized". The basic Groening body with the moustache, hair and crazy "Match Game 75" era glasses looks more Lee than Lee.

[GloryQuest]

Winslow gets my vote, too. I mean, come on, it's the Comic Book Guy! http://www.runemasterstudios.com/graemlins/images/whaat.gif

[thehod]

Yep Winslow's got this one.

[Winslow]

I love Tom and Jerry, so much that the over the top mockery of it with itchy and scratchy made me laugh too.

So I vote for JerrBear.

[Matt Algren]

Changed my mind. Michael Pullmannn gets it, mostly for the tag line "Whom do you love." He also would've gotten it for "The Bart, The."

[Mac Danny]

My Vote goes to Lance for Furious George.

I almost voted for Ole Gil.. but Gil never gets a break.

[WildChild]

My Vote goes to Lance for Furious George.



Another vote for Lance.

[Matt Algren]

I just can't decide yet.

And I don't want this contest to end.

I did it just for you.

So many good choices, but I'll have to go with Bouncing Boy's avatar.
That was a great musical.

[Slam_Bradley]

Spackling Compound. I remember watching the first Simpson's short on Tracy Ullman.

[JeffreyWKramer]

Gonna go with Coke & Comics, with hon. mention to Winslow.

[Michael P]

I can't not go with Bouncing Boy and the greatest sequence in Simpsons, nay, in television history.

[Adem]

My vote goes to Bouncing Boy because he made me have that song stuck in my head all week.

[HomerJay]

MacDanny for using the man I model my own management style after.

[Scott Evil]

Damn it... so many great choices, but I'm gonna throw my vote to the greatest single episode character and vote for Mac Danny

Scorpio: "..there's also Hammocks R' Us, or.."

I also agree that I wish this contest would never end. There's so much to mine one contest can't do it justice. You can have Simpsons sub-categories that can keep us going for at least another month..

[Matt Algren]

One of my favorite bits ever, and it makes me giggle just thinking about it, was the time they had "Dinnerables" that they ate with a red stick.

My favorite is from "Lord of the Flies" ep when they're in the bus racing fruit:

Bart: "Go apple!"
Milhouse: "Go orange!"
Ralph: "Go BANANA!"

Thank you Mr. Groening, thank you...

[HomerJay]

My favorite is from "Lord of the Flies" ep when they're in the bus racing fruit:

Bart: "Go apple!"

My favorite moment of that episode is when Otto gets swept away into the sea, he yells "Zeppelin Ruuuuuuuuuulesssss!"

[Scott Evil]

My favorite moment of that episode is when Otto gets swept away into the sea, he yells "Zeppelin Ruuuuuuuuuulesssss!"

W/ further reminiscing, the dream sequence w/ monkey butlers also rules.

Other fave moments of the show;
Freddy Quimby: "Say it..."
French Waiter: "Nee-Vah!"
Freddy Quimby: "Say Chowdaaahh"
French Waiter: "No! ChowDDERRR!"

[Chris Nowlin]

My Simpsons bus toy enacts that scene.

That episode has lots of great moments.

I'm so hungry I could eat at Arby's

[Chris Nowlin]

Setting: Lenny's house; guys at the poker table. Try to picture the mood.

Homer:I'll take three. D'oh! D'oh! D'oh! I mean...woo hoo.
Moe : I'm in. Let's see your cards.
Homer: Oh, I was bluffing.
Moe : Ha ha. Come to papa -- wait a minute! You have a straight flush, Homer! You do this every time, you -- oh, you -- oh! Gah! I'm choking on my own rage here.
Carl : Hey, don't yell at Homer. Just 'cause he's a little slow...
Homer's Brain: Something was said...not good. What was it?..."Don't yell at Homer!" No, that's OK. What was it? ...Slow! They called you slow!
Homer: (yelling) How dare you call me that! I... huh?

At this point we see it is late at night and nobdoy else is around. Lenny walks into kitchen in nightgown. Hours have passed.

Lenny: Hey, Homer, you still here? Boy, you _are_ slow.
Homer's Brain: Something said...not good.

[Chris Nowlin]

Other good brain moments.

Oh, twenty dollars...I wanted a peanut!
Twenty dollars can buy many peanuts!
Explain how.
Money can be exchanged for good and services.
Woo hoo!

[Adem]

My Simpsons bus toy enacts that scene.

That episode has lots of great moments.

I'm so hungry I could eat at Applebee's

Actually it was Arby's.

[Chris Nowlin]

Actually it was Arby's.

That's what I said. Don't know why it came off wrong in your quote.



I knew that too. Don't know how it got backwards in my head. Must have been mad at Applebee's recently.

They must not like Arby's on the Simpsons. Not the only time they've ribbed on them.

People do funny things in commercials, like eat at Arby's

[Scott Evil]

Homer in New York

Homer: What do you have to drink?!?
Street Vendor: I have Mountain Dew or crab juice.
Homer: Eeeeewww....

Also from the same episode:
Street Vendor: KALKALEV! You take KALKALEV!

Not 'funny' per se, but I just love saying that word. BTW, I'm assuming they're never gonna aire that episode due to the lengthy time spent on the Twin Towers. Is that true?

[Tages]

My favorite Simpsons sequence?

Flanders: Since the police can't seem to get off their duff-a-roonies to do something about this burglar-ino, I propose we start out own neighborhood watch (pause) aroony! (everyone cheers) Now, who should lead the group?
Man: You!
Everyone: (cheering again) Flanders! Flanders! Flanders!
Flanders: Well, I don't have much experience, but I'd be--
Moe: Someone else then!
Everyone: (more cheers) Yyyaaayyy! Someone else! Someone else! Someone else!
Homer: I'm someone else!
Lenny: (gasp) He's right!
Homer: We don't need a thinker, we need a doer! Someone who'll act without first considering the consequences!

[Matt Algren]

Homer's brain: Use reverse psychology.
Homer: Oh, that sounds too complicated.
Homer's brain: Okay, don't use reverse psychology.
Homer: Okay, I will!

[Matt Algren]

Eddie: Do you hold a grudge against Montgomery Burns?
Moe: No.
[buzz]
Moe: All right, maybe I did. But I didn't shoot him.
[ding]
Eddie: Checks out. Okay, sir. You're free to go.
Moe: Good, 'cause I got a hot date tonight.
[buzz]
Moe: A date.
[buzz]
Moe: Dinner with friends.
[buzz]
Moe: Dinner alone.
[buzz]
Moe: Watching TV alone.
[buzz]
Moe: All right! I'm going to sit at home and ogle the ladies in the Victoria's Secret catalog.
[buzz]
Moe: Sears catalog.
[ding]
Moe: Now would you unhook this already, please? I don't deserve this kind of shabby treatment.

I originally heard that they wouldn't, but a local station here in Toronto has aired it after 9/11.

Tony Bang gets my vote, for picking one of my all-time favorite villains.

(Grimes goes crazy after Homer wins the power plant design contest meant for children.)
Grimes: Oh, I, I can't stand it any longer. This whole plant is insane. Insane, I tell you! Daahh! Aaah!
(runs out of the auditorium, and into an equipment room)
Grimes: I can be lazy too! (takes his tie off, moons one of the technicians) Look at me, I am a worthless employee, just like Homer Simpson! Give me a promotion!
(Runs into the break room, grabs two donuts from the box and gobbles them down as if imitating Homer's eating habits)
Grimes: Ooh, I eat like a slob, but nobody minds!
(Grimes then runs to the bathroom to pretend to relieve himself)
Grimes: (yelling from inside) I'm peeing on the seat! Give me a raise!
(comes out and waves his hands in Homer's face; Homer looks puzzled)
Grimes: Now I'm returning to work without washing my hands. But it doesn't matter, because I'm Homer Simpson!
(Sits in Homer's chair at his work station and spins around like an idiot)
Grimes: I don't need to do my work, 'cause someone else will do it for me. 'D'oh!' 'D'oh!' 'D'oh!' (slaps forehead on each D'oh!)
Homer: (concerned) Hey, you okay, Grimey?
Grimes: I'm better than okay. I'm Homer Simpson!
Homer: (chuckles) You wish.
(Burns walks into the room to see what the commotion is all about)
Grimes: Oh, hi, Mr. Burns. I'm the worst worker in the world. Time to go home to my mansion and eat my lobster.
(Grimes runs up to electrical wires and examines a sign)
Grimes: What's this? (reads sign) 'Extremely High Voltage.' Well, I don't need safety gloves, because I'm Homer Simp...
(Grimes grabs the wires and suffers a fatal electrocution.)

Travel about 3 hours north, and you're more right than you realize.

[Stranger With Candy]

Mac Danny gets my vote. You Only Move Twice is defently my favorite Simpsons episode.

[Night]

Your Imaginary Pal for Mr Sparkle

[Chris Nowlin]

I see that I very nearly lost the Carbon Rod, so I'll stake my claim right now.

Did you actually get to see the rod?

[Chris Nowlin]

I'm pulling a name out of a hat because I love about 10 of these choices.

Guapo Mendez for the hero of the space mission.

Maybe the vote will get him to finally forgive me for the whole stealing of California thing.

[Tages]

A vote for JeffreyWKramer for the episode that more or less killed Family Guy for me.

[Brian Cronin]

I gotta go with Merey's Sondheim one.

"President or Ayatollah, everyone loves new Buzz Cola!"
