Watch for — every moment, theme by theme
Nudity & bodies 4 moments
How Nudity & bodies shows up in The Simpsons S3 E5:
- C. Montgomery Burns
Well, a bit overly familiar, but I'll allow it. I took in a movie. An appalling little piece of filth. Its leading lady was a blonde harlot who spent half the film strolling around naked as a jaybird.
- C. Montgomery Burns
Just give the great unwashed a pair of oversized breasts and a happy ending, and they'll 'oink' for more every time.
- Barney Gumble
Hey, I had to give a speech once. I was pretty nervous, so I used a little trick. I pictured everyone in their underwear. The judge, the jury, my lawyer, everybody.
- Thought Bubble Barney
Just picture them in their underwear.
Swearing 3 moments
How Swearing shows up in The Simpsons S3 E5:

(INTO MICROPHONE) Whoa, Springfield Elementary, last stop. Oh, and by the way, I'd like to say thanks, and 'applause, applause' to 'birthday boy' Milhouse for his totally bitchin' party on Saturday.
- C. Montgomery Burns
How the hell should I know?
- Luann Van Houten
Well, Marge, the other day, Milhouse told me my meatloaf sucks. He must have gotten that from your little boy, because they certainly don't say that word on TV!
Alcohol & drugs 3 moments
How Alcohol & drugs shows up in The Simpsons S3 E5:
- Mr. Devereaux
Margarita, I want you.
- C. Montgomery Burns
(INTO PHONE) Excellent. Well, "ta". (HANGS UP) Hmmm, Smithers, I can still sell 'em snake oil. Now bring me a wine spritzer -- and don't be stingy with the vino.
- Moe Szyslak
Here you go. One beer, one chocolate milk.
