Line 1:
{{Trope}}
There were so many examples from the Simpsons; an entire page was required to cover it. For example, Bart Simpson is among the known examples of these since he vandalized property like writing his name on the school’s lawns, shoot down a satellite, faked a wedding that got him locked up, and is a bad speller.
* The "Hell Toupee" segment of ''[[The Simpsons (Animationanimation)|The Simpsons]]'' "Treehouse of Horror IX." Snake is going to the chair for the "three-strikes rule". His first offense was torching an orphanage and his second offense was blowing up a bus full of nuns (though he claims the latter was in self-defense), while his third offense was smoking in a public building.
* Also in "Last Exit to Springfield", Burns calls Homer, who is now the president of the plant's union, [[Weird Trade Union|the Brotherhood of Pastry Chefs, Jazz Dancers, and Nuclear Technicians]] (itself an example of the trope), up to his mansion, and gives him a tour of increasingly luxurious rooms, and ends in the basement, which just has a ping-pong table and a leaky pipe. "I really should start ending the tour somewhere else".
* And don't forget the priceless quote in "Missionary Impossible," in which Homer's 10 year performance record lists him as having caused 17 meltdowns (''One is too many''!), selling weapons-grade plutonium to the Iraqis (''[[Honest John's Dealership|with no markup]]''!), and worst of all, taking the Hamburgler's birthday off "Last Monday AND Wednesday" (''which is it?!'')
Line 39:
{{quote| '''Old Jewish Man''': [[You Bastard]]!}}
* In "Bart Gets An Elephant", Lisa asks the person buying the eponymous elephant if he's an ivory dealer, with the reply "Well, little girl, I've had lots of jobs in my day: whale-hunter, seal-clubber, [[Biting the Hand Humor|president of the Fox network]]..."
** They make do that sort of thing (jokes about Fox) a ''lot''. Rupert Murdoch was even in one episode, with the [[Star Wars (Franchise)|Imperial March]] as he entered, and apparently he's a powerful dark sorcerer...
** When Homer gets selected to replace Smithers while he's on vacation, he gets explained that his role will involve "Filing Mister Burns' tax forms, lying to congress, and some light typing."
** One assuming that lying will be involved with filing the tax form too.
Line 47:
'''Krusty''': OH MY GOD! (sobs uncontrollably)<br />
'''Bart''': Well, actually, the bear just ate his hat.<br />
'''Krusty''': Was it a [[Nice Hat|nice hat]]?<br />
'''Bart''': Oh yeah.<br />
'''Krusty''': OH MY GOD! (sobs uncontrollably) }}
Line 71:
''(Her hair pulsates and explodes open, sending bat swam after the people.)'' <br />
'''1649 Homer''': (running away) Aah! Aah! They're in my hair, they're in my hair!!}}
* In the Treehouse of Horror II story based on [[The MonkeysMonkey's Paw]], the Simpson's wishes result in people hating them, aliens enslaving the earth and a turkey sandwich that is a little bit dry (which, incidentally, is the only one that makes homer curse the paw).
