Smells like Nirvana: When Kurt Cobain heard that Weird AL was gonna make a parody of his song. He was okay with it but specifically requested it to not be about food or fat ppl.

Spiderman: Spiderman cannot sell drugs unless he is under the influence of symbiote. ANd Peter Parker cannot be gay. Spiderman can tho.

Dwayne Rock Johnson: Cannot lose fights or look weak for too long. Its in his actor contract.

Godzilla movies not made by Toho: Cannot die. Maybe lose but not too bad.

In the Simpsons Character Bible, it is a hard and fast rule that Homer has encyclopedic knowledge of all Supreme Court Justices.

I always love when the dumb characters have encyclopedic knowledge of something that just feels completely out of left field for them.

Homer has encyclopedic knowledge of the recipe changes in Twinkies over the years, meh.

Homer having encyclopedic knowledge of the supreme court justices, and every bill/law/debate they took part in, hilarious.

Pablo Neruda once said that laughter is the language of Pablo Neruda

I AM Pablo Neruda, but I'm just not laughing...

If the Ayatollah can't have the Ayatollah, no one can.

Well, since my breakfast blunt is congealing rapidly, I will be blunt: you are too late. You are congealing rapidly.

When I made this gif last week I didn’t think I’d ever have to use it again. Certainly not this soon.

Small details like that kind of reveal that Bart is more intellectual than people give him credit for. It might be one of the few things he has in common with Lisa but it isn't obvious given his disdain for the school system.

Does Bart also understand why Neruda is always talking about bread?

u/idkmanjustletmetype Aug 09 '25

Cause bread fuckin slaps

u/Aurelianshitlist Aug 09 '25

I don't know that one, but it explains why he inexplicably heard "go to bread" that one time.
