I really like the vest.
I gathered, yeah.

I love this line.Does anyone else listen to the commentary from the producers and stuff on the DVDs? I haven't watched my DVDs of The Simpsons in a long time but, whenever I did, I'd binge seasons 2-10 and watch each episode twice. Once normally, then with the commentary.
Yeah. I go through phases but recently I've mostly listened to the commentary.
I love commentaries anyway but the Simpsons ones are especially fun. You can just sense how much fun they had doing their jobs on the show and it shows in the quality of each ep.
Had the pleasure of meeting Josh Weinstein when I graduated from Salford Uni earlier this year.
Simpsons' Golden Era (2-8, 1-9 if we're being generous) is my favourite show, probably up there with the greatest artistic works of the 20th century. I'm currently reading Planet Simpson actually, to understand just how important it became.
A super show.

Agreed. It felt like I had discovered the show again in a way when I discovered the commentaries.
I haven't heard many other commentaries but the ones for Arrested Development are pretty good.
I've recently started going back and watching some of the old episodes. It's so good. Just the existence of the modern stuff made me lose interest in the classic era, but I remember how much I love it now.

Basically a quiz where you name the top (most episodes with dialogue) characters. I got 68/100.

I forgot Moe and now I can never show my face in public again
I don't get it.
Homer: "I am so smart!" "I am so smart!" "S M R T, I mean S M A R T!"
You are doing it right.
I got 48 on this (found a couple of hidden ones as well that don't show up in the answers unless you managed to get them so there may be a few more)
I not only listen to commentaries from the people who work on said shows, I love listening to fan ones, too. I'm also a fan of "Let's Plays" which are similar.
One of my favourite commentaries was a fan one of Dragonball Evolution by a group called BrainScratchComms. Being a huge Dragon Ball fan, I hate that film and the only time I've ever seen it is was from their commentary. Still makes me laugh to this day.
I love that quote! I used to hear it a lot when I first got Simpsons Hit and Run for the PS2.
I got 82, can't believe I forgot about Fat Tony and crew.
I mentioned a lot of obscure characters that didn't show up like Just Stamp the Ticket Man.
I got 79. Worst ones I forgot were: Itchy, Scratchy, Kang, Kodus and Luigi
Got all the Flanders family at once by typing Flanders lol
81.
Main ones I forgot: Otto, Snake and Cpt McCallister.
There's lots of ones that don't count, like Hank Scorpio, Frank Grimes, Rex Banner, Mr Teeney, that it just keeps adding on to the end, but doesn't count towards your score. BOO-URNS!

69/100, forgot loads of obvious ones, Eddie and Lou police (I remember them but couldnt remember names), Martin Prince, I couldn't spell Kearney either. Cletus and Frink I totally forgot about, couldn't remember Dolphs name. The rest are pretty much just names I didn't know, actually going to have to look some of these up
Enjoyable quiz though.Managed to get 71. Only major ones I forgot were Captain McCallister, Snake, Cletus, Itchy and Scratchy.

I found this on reddit, a link to the mp3 versions of the commentaries. I could provide a torrent link for those who want the episodes with alternate commentary audio tracks.
Some good commentaries off the top of my head: Homer at the Bat, The Otto Show, Marge vs the Monorail, Homer vs. the Eighteenth Amendment, Dead Putting Society.

Need to rewatch these when I get time. Haven't seen them since I was a kid and although I memorised a lot of the dialogue just by watching them over and over, most of the plot and jokes went over my head. Reading this thread makes me realise just how much.
For me this is the really impressive thing about the simpsons. You can watch it as a kid or as an adult and find completely different things equally funny.
Homer's best face
