“Uh, question for the barbecue chef: don’t you think there is an inherent danger in sending underqualified civilians into space?” – Reporter
“I’ll field this one. The only danger is if they send us to that terrible planet of the apes . . . wait a minute, Statue of Liberty, that was our planet! You maniacs! You blew it up! Damn you! Damn you all to hell!” – Homer Simpson
The best part of this bit is the immediate cut to Barney collapsing. I never fail to laugh at it.
In one way, you’re both winners. But in another, more accurate way, Barney – is the winner
They finally made a monkey out of me!
I hate every ape I see, from chimpan-a to chimpan-z.
Don Del Grande…. I miss his reviews on SNPP.
Sigh.
two things:
1. I like the barbeque chef reference – I wonder if I’ll be sent in to space one day…
2. Deep Space Homer reminds me of one of my favourite Simpsons lines: Homer – “I’m not one for taking new jobs on a whim, but as they say in the snow plow business, I’m your astronaut”
“It beeegiiiiiiiiinnns!”
This is another one of those quotes that I’m amazed hasn’t been used for a QotD before now. Great stuff :)
eh, I never loved this episode as many Simpsons fans do. As much as I love Hank Azaria as a voice and “regular” actor, It was listening to him voicing Buzz Aldrin that I started to notice that this voice sounded a lot like his other generic male characters.
I never cared much for the whole Homer goes to space, or the chip-eating hommage to Kubrick’s 2001.
I think I liked the whole build up to Homer going to space, but once he was there, it started to become a bit gimmicky. the hommages become less subtle and more “let’s re-enact Movie X, but replace Homer with Character Y and make him say something stupid!”
Uhm… Buzz Aldrin did his own voice.
Next your going to say they actually got THE James Taylor to voice himself as well.
Don’t be silly.
Second comes right after first…
