Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: P

The camera pans into the "P" of "Simpsons", into a swoop of the town. In many episodes, the opening sequence is cut, and panning through the "P" leads directly into the garage door sequence at the end. Realistically, the only two choices for answers are P and O, as no other letters in the title have holes for the camera to pass through.

2. Next up is Bart's classic chalkboard gag. Is it true that one of them has said "My butt does not deserve a website"?

Answer: Yes

This is the chalkboard gag in the episode "Simpson Tide".

3. Has the chalkboard ever read "A trained giraffe could not teach math"?

Answer: No

In one episode, it said "A trained ape could not teach gym", but any mention of a giraffe in this context has not occurred.

4. What time is shown on the clock in the classroom during Bart's chalkboard gag?

Answer: 3:00 PM

The clock always shows "3:00", which is when the bell rings and Bart rushes out of the room.

5. Directly after this scene, we see Homer working hard at the power plant. When he is removing the glowing rod with a pair of tongs, what is written in large print behind him?

Answer: "Caution"

He hears a siren go off, for which he gleefully takes off his mask to leave, and the green rod bounces off the table into the back of his shirt.

6. When a siren goes off and Homer leaves the plant, who thinks the siren is his wristwatch beeping?

Answer: Mr. Burns

It is indeed Burns who thinks this, as he holds his watch to his ear, with Smithers at his side.

7. The next scene involves the supermarket. Marge is reading a magazine while Maggie moves across the supermarket conveyor belt. What magazine is Marge reading?

Answer: "Mom Monthly"

Behind her on the rack is a magazine with that very same title, as well as a magazine called "Feeble".

Answer: $847.63

If one can actually pause right at this point, her value is actually quite legible.

9. After Marge is relieved to see that Maggie is safe, Lisa's music class is shown. What instrument is Milhouse playing?

Answer: horn

The obvious ones seen when panning towards Lisa are Milhouse on the horn, Sherri and Terri on the flute, and then Lisa and her dynamic saxophone solo.

Answer: Green

It is a glowing green rod that he was handling earlier with tongs.

11. After throwing the rod out the window, we see Bart skateboarding down the streets of Springfield. He passes one person walking a dog. Who is this?

Answer: Apu Nahasapeemapetilon

Apu is walking a rather small dog while Bart skateboards past him, Moe, Barney, Jacques, Bleeding Gums Murphy, and Wiggum.

12. Right before Chief Wiggum waves his baton at Bart's reckless skateboarding, we see Bart go by a television store showing what character on all the TV sets?

Answer: Krusty the Klown

All the sets feature Krusty, and there appears to be nine TV sets.

13. We all know that it is Marge driving the car around town after Bart's skateboard scene, but it appears that who is steering the car at first?

Answer: Maggie

There is a close up of Maggie steering, and then a far shot of a tight curve, which they make. Then there is a close up of Maggie steering again, followed by a low shot of the car approaching the screen. They make another turn, and the camera pans out to Maggie looking at Marge, who is the actual driver. They look at each other, then each honk their horn.

14. What is Lisa's method of transportation back from school?

Answer: biking

The bike whizzes by Homer, who had just opened the door of his car.

15. From the angle we see, Homer parks on the right side of the driveway.

Answer: True

He parks his car on the right, then Bart hits his skateboard off the roof of the car and skateboards off camera, then Lisa bikes past Homer, almost hitting him, and then Marge drives in, while Homer runs into the house to escape her vehicle.

16. The Simpsons' garage door is one single piece, and opens up electronically.

Answer: True

As Homer drives in, the entire garage door opens up electronically, and Marge drives her car in. Homer's side has boxes and other materials in the way.

17. Excluding the first season, the painting seen above the couch in the opening sequence is of a what?

Answer: boat

During season one, there is a crooked nature painting of a pond. After that, the painting is a crooked sailboat picture.

18. How many circular dials are on the right side of the Simpsons' television set?

Answer: Two

There appears to be two circular dials, and a speaker below them.

19. Who is the first person mentioned on the TV set after the couch gag?

Answer: Matt Groening

First it says "Created by Matt Groening." and then the second screen says "Developed by James L. Brooks, Matt Groening, Sam Simon."

20. There have been so many different couch gags on the show. During a specific season eight couch gag, we see the couch, but it remains completely empty... why is this?

Answer: The front door doesn't want to open.

This is the couch gag for the season eight episode "Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious", where we see the family stuck outside a stuck door, and Homer struggling to try and open it. This of course makes little sense as Homer enters through the garage door, so there would be no reason for him to be at the front door. Well, that's it! Thanks for playing! Hope you enjoyed it!
