Characters and Their Quotes Trivia Quiz

Answer: Ned Flanders

In "The Simpsons' Movie," as Homer is about to save Springfield from a curse that he brought on the town, Rod Flanders says "Daddy, I wish Homer Simpson was my father." Ned responds, in his typical happy voice, "I wish you didn't have the devil's red curly hair." This makes Rod cry.

Answer: Milhouse

In one episode of the Simpsons, Milhouse plays "Spin the bottle" with some girls in the Bart's treehouse. The bottle lands on a girl, but the girl eludes Milhouse, and he accidentally kisses Homer instead, who just happened to climb into the treehouse at that moment.

The rest of the episode centers around the story about the first time Homer and Marge met, when they met at a camp and didn't know it. When Marge tells the family how it went wrong, Lisa says "That is awful! How could you, dad?" Milhouse then arrives and says "Because he's the kind who kisses and leaves you," and then he runs away crying.

Answer: Frank Grimes

Frank Grimes is a one-episode character. He was hired by Mr. Burns after Burns saw a documentary on TV about him. Burns originally asked Smithers to find Grimes so he could make him his executive vice-president, but when Smithers returns to the plant with Grimes, Burns informs him that he has seen a heroic dog on TV and then he asks Smithers to find the dog and make him the executive vice-president instead. Burns, having forgotten about Grimes, just sticks him in sector 7G, where he meets Lenny, Carl, and Homer. Grimes quickly sees that Homer is a moron who does no work, yet is somehow the safety inspector of the plant. This angers Grimes, and what makes Grimes even more angry is when he saves Homer's life, only to get in trouble with Burns. Grimes then tells Homer then the two of them are enemies. This makes Homer depressed, so he invites Grimes to his house for a dinner so he can make it up to him. Grimes then gets even more angry when he sees Homer has a nice house, a nice family, and can afford lobster. Homer then becomes even more depressed, so upon Marge's advice, Homer decides to try and act professional. This doesn't work, and furthermore, Grimes decides to embarrass Homer by tricking him into entering a kids contest to design a power plant for the future. Homer enters the contest and wins it, with the people failing to realize that Homer, an adult, was in a kids' contest. This is the last straw for Grimes. He goes insane and does a mocking imitation of Homer. This ends in Grimes' death and no one changes their opinion of Homer.

Frank Grimes is one of the most popular one-time characters ever. Even though he was only on the show once, fans of the show remember him, and even remember his name. He is popular because he is one of the few smart people that has ever been in Springfield. We all know Homer is a moron, but the majority of people in Springfield are dumb so they don't notice that. To have a character who notices Homer's obvious idiocy and his success despite his idiocy was a tremendous relief to many new fans and long-time fans of the show.

The quote in the question is one of the things Grimes said during his crazed mock imitation of Homer

Answer: Lisa

This quote is from an episode where Grandpa tells the Simpsons family that he wants to drive again. Homer is reluctant to allow Grandpa to do this. Lisa convinces Homer to give Grandpa a chance after telling him that statistics show that old people drive at least as well as sleep-deprived apes. Homer is a moron, so that convinced him to give Grandpa a chance.

Answer: Abraham Simpson

Grandpa Simpson asks this question after crashing his car into an aquarium, into a tank that contained a whale. He loses his license after that.

Answer: Bart

Bart and Milhouse have a conversation about the soul. Bart says the should doesn't exist. Milhouse says it does exist. They settle the argument with Bart selling his soul to Milhouse for $5. At first, Bart thinks he swindled Milhouse. Then he realizes that he can't laugh at things he used to find funny (like "Itchy and Scratchy" and Homer falling down the stairs).

He spends the rest of the episode trying to get it back. Eventually, upon his father's request, Milhouse gives back Bart's soul.

Answer: Hank Scorpio

Hank Scorpio is a one-time character. He is Homer's boss when Homer gets offered a great job at Cypress Creek. At first, he seems like the best boss ever. Homer loves working for him, and his work pleases Scorpio greatly, even when Homer accidentally gets someone killed. Homer never realizes that Scorpio is actually an evil man planning to take control of the East Coast.

Answer: Krusty the Clown

Principal Skinner and Mrs. Krabappel have an ongoing romance in the first fifteen seasons of "The Simpsons." Bart finds out about this at Martin's birthday party. While the other guests are escorted out of the party and into the ambulance after eating oysters (or in Lisa's case, pretending to have eaten them so she could leave), Bart, who fed his oyster's to Martin's cat, sticks around and witnesses Edna and Skinner kissing. Skinner hears Bart beginning to tell the other kids the story in the cafeteria, but he stops him just in time. Skinner and Krabappel reach and agreement with Bart to give Bart's horrible permanent record to Milhouse if he keeps their love a secret.

Then, Skinner and Krabappel abuse the agreement and make Bart do whatever it takes to keep the love a secret. Bart gets fed up, and leads all the students to the janitor's closet, where Skinner and Krabappel are making love.

The kids then tell their parents. Ralph's dad happens to be a cop, so Chief Wiggum calls Superintendent Chalmers. Chalmers then tells Skinner that he and Edna either have to give up their relationship or they will be fired. Skinner refuses to give up the relationship so they are both fired.

They protest their firing by appearing on the roof of the schoolhouse, demanding to stay there until they can have their jobs and their relationship. Maude Flanders says "Excuse me, I don't think we're talking about love. We're talking about S-E-X in front of the C-H-I-L-D-R-E-N." Krusty, who was at the school for to see an escaped octopus, couldn't figure out the 2nd word that Maude was spelling since she spelled it so fast. So he delivered the quote in the question. This might be the funniest thing we have ever heard Krusty say, and he wasn't trying to be funny.

Answer: Superintendent Chalmers

After Principal Skinner and Mrs. Krabappel are fired for having sex in front of their students, they protest their firing. One of the protests, with Bart's help, is to have Skinner walk out of the school with armor hot dogs strapped to his body so it looks like he has a bomb. Chief Wiggum has a telescope and sees right through the plan.

When the truth is revealed, Chalmers says the quote in the question.

Answer: Marge

A running gag on the show is to make fun of Arby's. The above quote comes in an episode that begins with the family watching TV and seeing a strange ad. This is how Marge justifies the ad.

Answer: Moe

In an episode that's a parody of "The X-Files", Mulder and Scully show up at Moe's tavern to learn about an alien that Homer has seen. Moe thinks they're here to learn about a whale he kidnapped from Sea World, so he and the men who helped him with that carry the whale back.

Answer: Mr. Burns

The Ramones perform "Happy Birthday" at Mr. Burns' birthday party. They aren't happy about the gig and they insult him. Mr. Burns, clearly upset, said the quote in the question. Smithers begins to tell Burns that those were the Ramones not the Rolling Stones, but Mr. Burns interrupts him with "Do as I say!"

Answer: Homer

When Bart gets lost on a field trip, Mrs. Krabappel calls his parents. Marge doesn't make it to the phone in time, since she was taking a bath or a shower when it started ringing. Mrs. Krabappel then calls Homer ta work. For some reason, Homer was also wearing a towel and had to rush to the phone. Unlike Marge, Homer made it to the phone in time.

Answer: Apu

Bart meets Buck McCoy, and asks the whole town to act like cowboys in his honor. Apu does this by singing a parody of "Don't Fence Me In" with some kids at the Kwik-E-Mart. Apu has a policy that says that customers cannot use the bathroom. He sings this to Homer, who sings back "Can't keep it in" and goes in the bathroom anyway.

Answer: Smithers

In "Treehouse of Horror III," one of the segments is a parody of King Kong. When Marge informs Burns that she wants to go to Ape Island, Mr. Burns asks Smithers for his opinion. Smiths gives the quote above, to which Mr. Burns replies in an annoyed voice "We know what you think."

The joke is that "seamen" sounds like "semen" and Smithers is gay, so the quote may have two meanings.
