THX: The Audience is Deaf

You know that THX trailer? The one where the blue rectangle appears onscreen, some words fade in, and your speakers proceed to blast your ears into oblivion? That's the one!

During an episode of the Simpsons, season 5, there is a scene in a movie theater. The THX logo comes up and the sound is so loud, the people are pushed back in their seats, a man's teeth shatters, and finally, a man's head explodes and the audience cheers!!!! Grandpa Simpson then yells "Turn it up! Turn it UP!!"

Just another one of the countless reasons I adore The Simpsons.

Oh my, that's an oldie!

How about the one where Grampa Simpson unmasks the catburglar: "I noticed he was wearing sneakers ... for sneaking!"


Cheers,

The Dead Postman

How about this quote from Grandpa Simpson: "The good Lord lets us grow old for a reason. To gain the wisdom to find fault with everything He's made!"
