Simpsons PLEASE do you reconize this qoute from it?

Friend just watched the Cat Burglar episode, and it wasn't the one :( We had actually thought that one a few months ago (yes... we have been trying to figure this out for months now!).

It is driving us completely mad :( :(
 
It does not exist. You "think" you know it is there when in fact the Simpsons has gone on for so long and that Grandpa has said so many similar things you are getting things confused with various episodes.

When you ask "do you remember so and so" to people that have seen so many episodes over so many years they will have references from so much that it will sound similar.

And now you trawl through episodes and forums and search engines trying to find something that is just not there.

The end of your life starts now. Sorry to break it to you.

And I thought I was bad.
 
I know to many people that actually remember him specifically saying it, along with him saying something like (But not these words exactly)

"what! where am I, who are you who stole my medicine" Literally everyone who watches the simpsons knows the quote, they can even remember parts of the scene and stuff, but they just can't remember the episode he said it because there are a lot of things he says that are similar..

I am highly considering watching every episode of simpsons from the start, like an episode a day or something, its simpsons so the worst that can happen is I am entertained :P
 
True, but I will probably split the episode among friends, like get them to watch season 2, and alternate. We are also pretty sure its said before season 11...
 
The quote i liked best was in the flying hellfish episode, burns hires a hitman to kill gradnpa and he tries 3 or so times with no luck. Then we see him planning things out nice and slow quote was something like

"there is one more way to kill a man, but it requires the skill and patience of a well played game of chess".

The he proceeds to boot open the door and riddle the place with smg fire. :D

Naaaa nothing tops the end quote of that episode..

Grampa: "I guess he deserves it more than I do. Well, at least I got to show you I wasn't always a pathetic old kook."
Bart: "You never were, Grampa."
Grampa: "Oh, I'd hug ya, but I know you'd just get embarrassed."
Bart: "I won't get embarrassed, I don't care who knows I love my Grampa."
Baron: "Hey, fun boys, get a room!"
 
"Zer goggles! Zey do nothing!!"

Bart: "Mom, how are we supposed to leave with you blocking the way?"
Homer: "Push her down, son."

Is it from the episode where he gets together with one of marges sisters, and its when hes alone or found to have ruined the house that he says it?

Yeah, 3 friends and I said the same thing... we remember that it is in the living room, and he is basically waving his arms about or something?

It is really annoying the hell out of us... We had a spat of looking thru random episodes, including the Hell Fish one, and the one mentioned earlier as they are the main Grandpa episodes we could think of but no joy :(
 
Abe Simpson (opening door): Who are you? What do you want? What year is it? Who are you?

thats the one quote you are thinking, nothing listed around that quote with medicine. you'd have to watch that ep to check if its in that one.

the link is wrong, the quote i did was from Million dollar abie, season 17 ep 16.

i did a quick look using search function for medicine.

google might find the quote but its unlikely.

lots of people can think they would specifically remember the same thing. its how memory works, you won't remember every single Grampa line, after a while memory merges together quotes as literally in your brain it will group grampa memory's, as the memorys get older memorys get mixed together and you can't always separate things. its why a lot of things we remember correctly, but from the wrong situation. so you can remember 10 different quotes of his all mixed together and they sound about right. more over, if you ask someone if they've heard the quote, they go to grampa memorys of their own, and because there isn't always a clear difference between the memorys, people can often think they have heard that specifically because they are led there, and all the memories together can make that quote, even though it never happened.

all in all, memory, not hugely reliable in these cases.

saying that the quote may have happened, but it might not have.
 
Just watched the "war of the simpsons" 2x20 where he babysits and Marge and Homer go to try to get advice on their maridge.... doesnt seem to be the episode... I skipped any that doesnt have granpa, but he does go on sarcastic rants... but its not the right one :(

My friend and I went thru that thought process earlier... but to many of us have said it is roughly the same circumatances. all in Homers living room and so on.... thats one reason I was vague on purpose to start with, to see if people thought the same place as we was...
