Your daily dose of hilarious

In honor of The Simpson's 500th episode, I happen to stumble upon (the italics means it's a pun), this great article that has collected every single chalkboard quote that Bart Simpson has had to write up during the opening credits.

Jeez, that kid really fucks up a lot... or maybe the school is just a little bit sensitive.

Some of my favorites? How nice of you to ask:

Prince is not the son of Martin Luther King
The Nurse is not dealing
Spongebob is not a contraceptive (what?!)
Indian burns are not our cultural heritage.


It's hard to believe any show can make it to 500 episodes, especially a cartoon, a genre that typically doesn't seem to last more than five seasons. This show has transcended any expectations that may have come through its first few appearances on the Tracey Ullman Show, and has become a cultural staple. Twenty-something years and a movie later, the show still lives with its culturally relevant humor and great characters.

Congrats, Simpsons, for showing those of us in television what hard work and determination can do. And for letting us know that even fat, lazy, and physically abusive dads can be lovable.

Check out this highlighted text for a couple of chuckles. What did you all think of the 500th episode?
