1. Which Simpson's character has a master's degree in nuclear physics?
Nope. He just owns the plant. He doesn't need to know how it works.
B. Carl Carlson
Yes, believe it or not, there really is someone at the nuclear power plant who really does know what he is doing...kind of.
Would a nuclear physicist collect Malibu Stacy dolls? I doubt it. Try again.
Close, but no cigar.
2. Who said, "One dollar for eternal happiness? I'd be happier with the dollar."
A. Lionel Hutz
Wrong, try again.
Excellent! He wouldn't fall for Homer's phone scam, because he was too tight to begin with.
Sorry, you are wrong. Thank you and come again.
No. He is obsessed with killing Bart, not with money. His brother was the one who wanted to get rich by framing Bob.
3. When drawing Jesus, what attribute did Ralph give him?
A. A crown
That would make more sense, but this is Ralph we are talking about. Guess again.
B. A third eye
Nada.
C. A bushy tail
Try again.
D. Wheels
You got it! You must know how Ralph thinks. Scary, isn't it?
4. Who is Bart's favorite comic book superhero?
A. Duffman
No, he is Homer's favorite.
Krusty is Bart's favorite performer, but not favorite superhero. Guess again.
Comic Book Guy loves Xena, but not Bart. Try again.
You are correct. Can you name his sidekick? ... Fallout Boy
5. What is Bart's graffiti alias?
A. El Barto
You are el correcto!
B. Homer
Nice try, but ... no.
C. Bartarino
John Travolta played Barbarino, but Bart isn't Bartarino.
D. Master Bart
You obviously haven't mastered The Simpsons. Try again.
6. Who narrates "The Raven" in the first Halloween special?
No. He is dead. Although Marge and Lisa did enjoy playing with the Vincent Price egg coloring kit in one episode, until they noticed a piece was missing.
The Force is strong with this one. You are correct.
C. Alan Rickman
Wrong, but he *is* the voice of Marvin the robot in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
He is a scary guy, but it isn't him.
7. In what season did the Halloween specials Treehouse of Horror begin?
A. Season 1
Nope.
B. Season 2
Right. The first Treehouse of Horror episode aired October 24, 1990 and started the tradition of aliens Kang and Kodos appearing in a segment.
C. Season 3
No, but here is a hint. Treehouse of Horror XV aired November 7, 2004, even though it was *after* Halloween.
D. Season 10
You are *way* off.
8. What actress voiced the "Babysitter Bandit," Ms. Botz?
No. She voiced Bea Simmons in the episode "Old Money" in season 2.
Wrong, but Beverly voiced Lurleen Lumpkin, a country singer who falls for Homer in "Colonel Homer," season 3.
Right! The kids figured out who she was when they saw the TV show America's Most Wanted Armed and Dangerous. Maggie ended up saving the day, but Homer allowed Ms. Botz to get away in the end.
While The Simpsons got their start on The Tracey Ullman Show, she wasn't Ms. Botz. However, she did voice Emily Winthrop, who was the head of Emily Winthrop's Canine College where Bart took Santa's Little Helper to learn obedience.
9. What does Bart name the elephant he won from a radio contest?
A. Jumbo
That is a bit too mundane, don't you think? Try again.
B. Stampy
Yes. The elephant was a bit unruly and had a habit of stamping on things.
C. Gabbo
No. That was the name of the puppet who briefly drove The Krusty the Clown Show to cancellation. Can you name the puppeteer? ... Arthur Crandell
D. Muntz
Nelson would clobber Bart for naming an elephant after him. Try again.
10. When Bart works for Fat Tony's mobsters, what drink does he make for them?
A. A Manhattan
Yes. He seemed to mix the most perfect Manhattan in town.
Homer made a Flaming Homer when the beer ran out at Moe's. Moe ended up stealing the glory and the name of the drink, but as always happens with Moe, he lost out in the end.
Not quite.
No. That was Marge's drink of choice.
11. What job did Homer not do?
A. Spaceman
He blasted into space with a smuggled bag of potato chips that almost doomed the flight. Guess again.
B. Truck driver
He thought it was his duty to finish the truck run of a man who died while competing against Homer in an eating contest. In the process, he found out the secret of all truck driver's, an autopilot driving device. He had to outrun the truckers chasing him down so he didn't expose their secret before finally delivering the load.
Try again. He had to fund Lisa's pony so he took a second job at the Kwik-E-Mart. He also worked at Gulp 'N Blow in the episode "I Married Marge."
D. President of the United States
Bingo! Lisa was the president in an episode where the future was told, but Homer has not held that office...yet. On another presidential note, former President George Bush and his wife Barbara were residents of Springfield for awhile, with George even collecting unemployment.
12. What radio station has a broadcast range of 23 feet?
A. KSPF
It's not this one.
B. KBBL
Bill and Marty reach an audience a bit larger. Try again.
C. KJAZZ
Yes. Lisa has a hard time hearing her tribute request for Bleeding Gums Murphy until there is a little divine intervention.
D. KRST
Krusty doesn't have his own station. What's your next guess?
13. What is the name of Bart's conjoined twin?
A. Hugo
Correct. The twin is discovered in the attic. According to Dr. Hubbard, the left twin is always the "evil" one. While Marge and Homer thought the evil twin was the one they hid in the attic, it turns out Bart was the left twin. As Bart points out, does this really surprise anyone?
B. Matt
No, but Matt Groening is the creator and executive producer on the show.
C. Martin
Martin Prince is a character on the show, but not Bart's twin.
D. Nancy
Nancy Cartwright is the voice of Bart, but not the name of his twin. Nancy also voices Nelson Muntz, Todd Flanders, Ralph Wiggum and other various characters on The Simpsons.
14. What "hymn" does Bart hand out in church?
Cute, but not the right answer.
No, but this was the name of the episode in season 2 when Homer used an experimental hair treatment to grow a lush head of hair.
I think this is already in a ton of churches already. Bart wouldn't need to hand this one out. Try again.
You betcha. The true music was "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by Iron Butterfly. It ended with a very long solo by the church organist. Break out the lighters.
15. "Hi everybody" is what character's famous line?
A. Ned Flanders
No. Ned's famous line is "Hi-dilly-ho-dilly neighboreenos."
B. Troy McClure
Troy's famous line always starts out something like, "Hi. I'm Troy McClure. You may know me from such films as..."
Worst ... guess ... ever. Try again.
That's right. And the response is, "Hi Dr. Nick!"
13 or more correct: Woohoo! You are a true Simpsons freak. You get a free beer at Moe's.
9-12 correct: Don’t have a cow, man. Not everyone is as smart as Lisa.
8-4 correct: D'oh! Rod and Todd Flanders will say a prayer that you learn more about the Simpsons.
3 or less correct: Ay Carumba! You have as much of a clue as Ralph Wiggum. Brush up on The Simpsons by watching reruns weeknights and the regular broadcast Sundays at 8pm.
