What was the name of Bart's temporary Big Brother?

Tom

What did Bart bring to show and tell that Tom gave him?

[I-Hate-Hulse]

A Neuralizer I think, the product of an unprecedented military buildup (or something like that). He points it at martin and sends him into convulsions.

What are Bart and Lisa's respective "Ice Hockey" teams named?

[JiriHrdina]

Damn. That was just on.

The Pigs or the "Ice Pigs"

and The Gougers?

Pinchy was his name, and I will guess we weighed 10 pounds.

What was the name of Lisa's friend/peer who kept getting higher grades and 1st chair Sax?

Half right, pinchy was his name, but homer put himself and pinchy on the scale at the same time and the scale was at 300. Homer then said when he last weighed himself he was 140, so pinchy must be 160!!!!!

[octothorp]

Just to correct that last one, actually Homer said that according to his driver's license he weighed 140 lbs. Small nitpick but this is a trivia thread after all.

Okay, I'm going to ask the next one. Name five presidents that Lisa has talked to, either in a dream or in person.

[MassFlames]

Washington (one of my favorite lines ever: "We had quitters in the revolution too. We called them Kentuckians!")
Clinton
Lincoln
Jefferson
JFK

edit: forgot my question

What makes Bart and Lisa different from Woodward and Bernstein when they are investigating Sideshow Bob's mayoral win?

Their dad wasn't sitting in the car reading archie comics? I have no diea who Woodward and Bernstein were, but I seem to remember that line.

At least two Springfield residents who have inexpensive alternatives to wearing belts. Who are they, and what does each have instead of a belt?

[Looger]

woodward and bernstein broke the deep throat story, watergate hotel, nixon impeachment.

movie with redford and hoffman, cannot recall the title

[RougeUnderoos]

Cletus uses a rope for a belt, I think. Or maybe an extension cord?

well, you've named the two objects I'm looking for, a rope and an extension cord, but Cletus isn't one of the people. (Unless you can offer definite proof that Cletus has worn one of these at one point.)

I'll give you two relevant quotes:

"He's yankin' on your cord, man."

"He's making us look like a bunch of cheapskates. Whoa, my rope just about came undone."

[I-Hate-Hulse]

Jesper perhaps?

[RougeUnderoos]

Did Grandpa wear the rope? I have a very vague recollection of that

Jimbo was wearing the cord! I'm sure of it, and the quote is from Dolph.

[octothorp]

Yup, Jimbo with the cord, and it's Moe that wears a rope (when they're driving around trying to thwart Apu's valentine's day plans).

I don't remember anything about Grampa wearing a rope, but he did tie an onion to his belt at some point. Anyway, question answered. Next...

Change-up question: most Underrated/Overrated character?

Change-up question: most Underrated/Overrated character?

In my opinion:

Most over-rated: Ralph. Sure, he says some pretty dumb stuff sometimes, which is funny for a cheap laugh, but how many times have I heard someone say "I cho-cho-chose you" or "I'm a totem pole...ahuyuhuh". The dimwitted one liners get old (with the exception of "My cat's breath smells like catfood" ... saying that in awkward pauses is always funny).

Most under-rated: Ralph's dad Cheif Wiggum. He's dumb too, but his incompetance is funny since he's the chief of police. Who can forget lines such as "Aww geez, there's trees bushes, I'm on a road, looks to be asphault...uhhh...I'm directly under the earth's sun.....now" when asked to describe his location.

The fact that the cheif of police has a near-zero IQ is funny, the same is not true of some cubby second grader.

My 2 cents.

[RougeUnderoos]

Principal Skinner = underrated. Some of the best lines ever come from him...

like that time Superintendent Chalmers was complaining about "classroom after classroom of ugly, ugly children" and Skinner says "oh well I don't think the children's appearance" but gets cut off.

That whole Arman Tanzarian/Imposter episode was really lame though.

[octothorp]

You're asking for opinions?

Overrated: Smithers. The gay gag is getting old. Krusty is kinda stale--doesn't deserve to be as major a character as he is.

Underrated: Martin. Great little character. Has one of the greatest moments in the history of the show at the end of the pool episode. But he's a great all-purpose foil for bart and nelson, among others. I also like Milhouse when he's a secondary character.

I hear what you're saying about Ralph, but beyond the one or two over-quoted lines, he's been one of the most consistently funny characters in the show.

[sbailey924]

Underrated: Microchip--he's only been in a couple of storylines.

Overrated: Sideshow Bob--it's monotonous
