One of the best parts of The Simpsons is the cacophony of stupidity that we see in Homer’s head whenever we see his thought bubbles. It’s hilarious- an orgy of dancing bears, monkeys, cows, clowns, and occasionally Flanders’ butt cheeks. Here’s a collection of Homer’s thought bubbles. I wish it was more comprehensive, although 19 examples is a good start.
Note: I’ve provided animated gifs when possible, although I could only find still photos and video clips for a few.
and from the same episode:
These next few aren’t the traditional thought bubble but they’re still really funny.
Technically, this wasn’t a dream bubble, but it’s hard not to include at least gif of Homer dreaming of Germany, “the land of chocolate.”
What a brilliant idea for a post! I can’t remember what most of these thought bubbles were about, but I think that makes them even funnier.
It was so much fun tracking them down.
I’ts awesome to see them together. Reminded me of some great episodes! Now I’ll have to rererererewatch my DVD collection of the Simpsons.
Similarly, if they ever sold all of the Itchy and Scratchy episodes together, I’d buy it. I’d pay a lot for it.
I love that in the clip of Homer dancing in the overturned beer tanker rain, his hand is rubbing his chin to further illustrate his dreamy wistfulness.
Ha… and with a username that’s like “Nigerian Prince Dot Com” or something.
This is wonderful!
Stupid sexy Flanders!
The nuclear fire clown college thought bubble is probably one of my favorite moments from the Simpsons.
I’m with Dave on the Krusty Clown College thought balloon dream sequence. The calliope music in the background sells it!
That whole episode is so great. It’s as classic as The Simpsons get.
