So if you have sensitive children, maybe you should tuck them in tonight instead of writing us angry letters tomorrow. Thanks for your attention.” — Treehouse of Horror, Oct. 25, 1990 Marge: “Homer, there’s something I don’t like about that severed hand.” — Treehouse of Horror II, Oct. 31, 1991 Marge: “It’s almost as if he’s murdering from beyond the grave.” Lisa: “I told you capital punishment wasn’t a deterrent.” — Treehouse of Horror IX, Oct. 25, 1998 Homer: “Can you love a man who’s half beer?” Marge: “I always have.” — Treehouse of Horror XX, Oct. 18, 2009 Homer: “I lost my job as an oaf today.” Marge: “What? Oh, why are the oafs always the first to go?” — Treehouse of Horror XI, Nov. 1, 2000 Memorabilia collector: “I have here the only working phaser ever made. It was fired only once.

Lock your doors, bar your windows. Because the next advertisement you see could destroy your house and eat your family.” — Treehouse of Horror VI, Oct. 29, 1995 Marge: “Where’d you get all that money?” Grampa Simpson: “The government.
