“Over here, Simpson. The detention room is dangerously overcrowded, so you’ll be serving your time in the cafeteria.” – Principal Skinner
“Oxygen, running out.” – Detention Kid
“Yes, you should’ve thought of that before you made that paper airplane.” – Principal Skinner
This is the greatest Halloween episode of them all, and anyone who says differently is itchin’ fer a fight.
Although my favorite Treehouse line of all time is still from the King Kong segment:
“Hey, I hear we’re goin’ to Ape Island.”
“Yeah, to capture a giant ape.”
“I wish we were going to Candy Apple Island.”
“Candy Apple Island? What do they got there?”
“Apes. But they’re not so big.”
Why that crack me so consistently up I don’t know, but it does.
(Sorry if I’m stepping on your gig there, with the quote)
I always wuss out and can’t pick a favorite, but this one is just amazing. I just love this quote because you get the feeling that this is what Skinner really would do if he didn’t have to care about the children’s health and safety.
Another joke that is funny for reasons I cannot quite determine: Burns getting gassed and wandering around while deliriously singing a lighthearted song.
I just remembered that he threw the gas and was poisoned due to his own weakness.
