Episode 2
Love:
Love your family even if they aren't geniuses
Family/Friendship:
Always make sure to keep a spare genius lying around
Homer: I'm just saying, why not have two geniuses in the family? Sort of a spare in case Bart's brain blows up.
If you're afraid your dad is going to strangle you, then lock yourself in a room
Homer: You can't stay in there forever!
Bart: I can try!
School:
Just because you're bored in class, does not mean you're a genius
Einstein invented the light bulb
Homer: Don't be discouraged, son. I bet Einstein turned himself all sorts of colors before he invented the light bulb.
Everyone hates the tattletale-ing nerd
Martin Prince: Principal Skinner, one of my fellow children is vandalizing school property.
Math jokes are not funny and just stupid
Ms. Mellon: Well don't you get it Bart? Derivative DY equals 3R squared, DR over three or R squared, DR or RDRR.
[Ms. Melon does a jig dance]
Ms. Mellon: Hardy-har-har. Get it?
Comedy:
Oh clever word play
Lisa Simpson: [Lisa places an I on top of the D in do] Id, triple word score!
Homer: Hey, no abbreviations.
Lisa Simpson: Not I.D. dad id! It's a word!
Bart: As in this game is stupid.
Jobs/Money
Sometimes you just know things about your kids
Homer: What do we need a psychiatrist for? We know our kid is nuts.
Yourself:
If you're going to fail an IQ Test, take the one of the smartest person in class
Pro tip, obviously.
If you're going to fail scrabble, invent your own species
Bart: Kwyjibo: K-W-Y-J-I-B-O. Twenty-two points. Plus, triple-word score, plus fifty points for using all my letters... Game's over, I'm outta here.
Homer: Wait a minute, you little cheater. You're not going anywhere 'til you tell me what a Kwyjibo is.
Bart: Kwyjibo. Uh, a big dumb, balding North American ape. With no chin.
Homer: I'll show you a big dumb balding ape!
Bart: Uh oh, Kwyjibo on the loose!
Here you go!
