A legend of comedy, the exploits of this family in the madcap town of Springfield have inspired countless catchphrases, sight gags, and numerous impersonations.
Each character has a specific brand of humor (Homer = idiotic, Marge = ironic, Bart = wild, Lisa = deadpan), all mixing together in a melting pot of hilarity. Where the show excels though is in the way that each joke blends seamlessly into the narrative of the story. Some shows, such as Family Guy, simply throw anything they think is funny in the story, expecting the episode to gel together without any manipulation, which fails more often than not.
Most memorable joke - When visiting a candy convention, Homer steals the Venus De Milo of gummy bears, to the chagrin of the candy vendors. As they form a mob to chase him down, Homer is able to MacGruber a grenade out of a can of pop and some pop rocks. The resulting explosion saves both the day and his candy treat.
