The Simpsons is one of television’s longest-running shows. They’re currently on their 33rd season, and people still love it. You can imagine that over the last 30+ years that they’ve written some pretty funny jokes, but how do you pick a favorite?
In a recent AskReddit thread, Simpsons fans are sharing their favorite quotes and it’s making me want to go back and watch some of these great episodes.
