Characters and Their Quotes part 2 Quiz

Answer: Principal Skinner

In the episode "22 Short Films About Springfield," Principal Skinner invites Superintendent Chalmers over for lunch. Skinner tells Chalmers that they are having steamed clams, but when Skinner tries to cook, he sets the food on fire, and then the house catches on fire. Skinner then ends up going to Krusty Burger to buy hamburgers for himself and Chalmers. Chalmers says "I thought we were having steamed clams." Skinner then says the above quote.

As disasters keep happening and Chalmers keeps questioning, Skinner keeps coming up with more ridiculous excuses. Somehow, Chalmers actually believes that Skinner has Aurora Borealis in his house and that Skinner can make "steamed hams" just like the ones at Krusty Burger.

Answer: Lenny Leonard

In "Treehouse of Horror XI," Lenny goes for a swim in the ocean. He then gets murdered by dolphins, which have now become vicious human-hating creatures since Lisa freed their leader.

Answer: Jeff Albertson

In "They Saved Lisa's Brain," Lisa joins Springfield's Mensa society. This comprises of the very few smart people in Springfield, which includes Professor Frink, Lindsey Naegle, Dr. Hibbert, Principal Skinner, and Jeff Albertson, better known as "Comic Book Guy." After Albertson makes a sarcastic comment, Naegle asks "Do I detect a note of sarcasm?" Professor Frink's sarcasm detector beeps like crazy and Frink says that it's "off the charts." That's when Albertson says the above quote in a sarcastic voice.

Then the sarcasm detector blows up from overload.

Answer: Professor Frink

In "Treehouse of Horror XIV," Professor Frink brings his dad back to life. Unfortunately, he had to replace all his dad's organ's with machines. The dad wasn't happy about that, so he became a monster and killed people and stole their organs.

Answer: Lyle Lanley

Lyle Lanley is a one-episode character who sells a monorail to Springfield. He uses his charisma, his jokes, his excellent communication skills, and a catchy song to get almost everybody in Springfield on his side. Two people weren't immediately convinced: Marge and Lisa. Unfortunately, while Lisa is very smart, she is also very young. In this case, her youth was her downfall. Lyle eventually charmed Lisa into believing him. Lisa did eventually learn the truth: when the monorail is set up and about to be tested, Lisa sees Lyle getting in his car. Lisa shouts to him and says "Don't you want to ride the monorail." Lyle says "Sorry, I have a plane to catch." Lisa replies "But with the monorail it'll only take a minute." That's when Lyle responds with the quote in the question. The quote is funny because it's as obvious of a lie as it gets. I think it's funnier than any of Lyle's intentional jokes (this particular quote was an intentional joke by the writers, but not an intentional joke by the character). However, the people of Springfield aren't laughing as they are about to die, and if Lisa learned the truth here, it was too late for her to do anything.

Fortunately, there is one person who never gets on Lyle's side: Marge. Marge never liked Lyle, and unlike Lisa, Marge was old enough to be able to resist his charms. By snooping around, she found out that Lyle intentionally designed the monorail badly, so that it would crash and kill everybody. She then goes to North Haverbrook and finds a scientist who worked on that city's monorail. In that city, the monorail crashed and killed almost everyone in the city. Marge and the scientist come up with a plan to save Springfield from the same fate.

Lyle ends up on a plane to Tahiti, but that plane makes a stop in North Haverbrook. There, an angry mob of that city's survivor's spots Lyle on the plane and they kill him.

Answer: Troy McClure

Troy McClure was an actor who appeared in a lot of different movies. Every time we saw him, he would say "Hi, I'm Troy McClure. You may remember me from such films as ... and ..." One of his films was called "Get confident, stupid!"

Answer: Homer

Homer's idiocy accidentally gets a law passed that will deport all illegal immigrants. Originally, Homer loves the law because he thinks that deporting illegal immigrants will lower taxes. However, he then learns that one of his best friends, Apu, is an illegal immigrant.

When he sees Apu desperately doing whatever he can to stay in this country, Homer changes his mind and decides to fight the law. The law gets passed anyway, but Apu remains in the country because he passed the citizenship test. So, only Groundskeeper Willie gets deported.

Answer: Lionel Hutz

Lionel Hutz was an inept lawyer. The Simpsons often hired him as a lawyer because the couldn't afford a better one. He would sometime appear at court not wearing any pants. When he knew he lost the case, he would run.

Answer: Marge

When Homer decides he wants to be an inventor like Thomas Edison, Marge decides to help him out in whatever way she can. Marge doesn't like most of Homer's inventions, but she does like it when he nails extra legs to the back of his chair so that it doesn't fall over completely when he leans back.

Answer: Mrs. Krabappel

Martin either followed this advice perfectly, or he finished the test at lightning speed. Mrs. Krabappel then told him to put his head down on his desk and sit quietly. Martin does this, but then Groundskeeper Willie kills him in his sleep.

Answer: Lisa

Is Barney really that drunk? Is Homer really that lazy bald and fat?" They all break down and cry. Carl, the one person who isn't crying, gives us this quote.

Answer: Bart

Everybody believes Bart, because they think he's a genius. Actually, he switched his test with Martin's.

Answer: Dr. Hibbert
