Simpsons scenes that are VERY HARD to watch

Lenny with a coin stuck in his head Lenny with a hook in his eyelid Bart drilling eyeholes into Homer's head bucket CBG and Agnes Skinner in the sack The THOH intro where the guy in the microwave explodes Homer falling down the canyon wall Homer after his face is sucked into the vacuum hose The entire "Homer's severed thumb" ep...I doubt I've ever been able to watch the whole show

What of Itchy & Scratchy then?

Don't be silly. Itchy & Scratchy is a *cartoon*.

So they're not real then?

Then or now.

Oh, I can stand their blood and gore because they are merely cartoons.

I dunno, that one I&S where Itchy saws off the tip of the Space Needle, which then promptly falls and sticks in Scratchy's eye with a nice squish sound is right up there with all the human-related eye damage they've done over the years for me.

Ugh, I forgot about Skinless in Seattle. That was worse than the Ren and Stimpy parody.

Fair enough.

The spring? Yes, that scene is a giver of willies!

I had forgotten it was a spring--which demonstrates how I watch that scene: with my _own_ eyelids shut like a bear trap.

Homer with the crayons stuck into his brain.

Homer, after being attacked by a badger in SLH's dog house, lifting his shirt to reveal exposed organs.

Brrr..

The one where Homer's eyeball gets pulled out by a vacuum is the earliest one I remember.

Homer (who else?) having his arm dipped in "Carmel". <Shudder...>

By far the worst IMO - can't watch that!

I dunno, I don't think that scene is very hard to watch at all, in fact I think it's hilarious, along with the children's reactions.

BTW it's called a gorge, not a canyon.

"Xino Kiner" wrote

Gorge (from Dictionary.com)

      1. a narrow cleft with steep, rocky walls, esp. one through which a
stream runs.
      2. a small canyon.

Canyon (from Dictionary MSM)

1. a deep narrow valley with steep sides, often with a stream running through it.

So either would be right, even though the writers call it 'Springfield Gorge'.

Let's discuss this like rational human beings...

Not quite correct... A gorge can be large. EG: Katherine Gorge. Shame on Dictionary.com.

Now why would we want to do something like that?!?

"Je�us" wrote

Katherine has been on a diet. She's now only a gully. But the mining company will soon fix that...

Incidentally, just to confuse matters more, Thesaurus.com says this:

a canyon is a narrow chasm with steep cliff walls formed by running water; a gorge is a deep narrow passage with steep rocky sides formed by running water; a ravine is a deep narrow steep-sided valley formed by running water

I know the Eskimos have many words for snow, seems we have many words for a hole in the ground!

running

I don't recall saying that either was right or wrong.

Get a life.

But what I *can* say for a fact is that in the show, Springfield Gorge is never referred to as "springfield canyon" at least in episode 7F06, and probably the entire series.

If a gorge is gorgeous, what be a canyon?

"12 yards long, 2 lanes wide, 65 tons of American Pride!" Wonder if they're still making that thing in these troubled times?

I call these "South Park inadequacy moments".

Anything having to do with EYES grosses me out. I think a lot of these were covered:

Lenny getting stuff in his eye Homer with vacuum cleaner, ends up pulling his eye out in a gross way Space needle in the eye Marge trying to peek over blindfold (one of the arty ziff episodes iirc) and homer MOVES HER EYE BACK IN WITH HIS FINGER, gross! There's a kid in Springfield Elementary that can roll up his eyelids. Nasty. I believe there was an episode where someone got a hook stuck in their eyelid....

what about the Simpson movie where Bart is skateboarding nude, which was digusting

totally did not bother me at all.

Everyone knows the human wang is a beautiful thing. Get over it!

None of these bother me as much as the scene where Homer murders his father by smothering him. I know it was just a dream, but it brings me forcibly back to the day when I was a child and Xino Kiner murdered my own father. That idiot; the hit I had hired him for was on my *mother*.

Same here. The eye jokes give a new definition to the term "sight gag".

That was Lenny with the Olympic spring, as R. Flowers mentioned. I wonder how many viewers (including myself) remembered it as a hook because they closed their eyes/switched channels at that excruciating moment.

YES, that's what it was. Oh man that was terrible.

Incidentally, I could stand Homer's first canyon-wall-smackdown were it not for the damned BLOOD. The second one is always a channel- switcher for me. (shudder) uuugghhghhhggh
