Here's a difficult Simpsons trivia question. First person with the right answer wins a brand-new Burton snowboard. Just drop by my house to pick it up sometime.

hero,

Okay then, if you're so smart, what did he kill with his bear hands?

Nothing! According to Horatio Hurlbutt, or whatever that Geek's name was, the bear probably killed and ate him!

Urgh, you beat me to the punch. Oh well, you have proven to embiggen even the smallest answer to a perfectly cromulent question.

Right quote, wrong geek. You might be thinking of this scene from way back in "The Telltale Head (7G07)":

The rest of the family watch a documentary.

   [Caption:  SPRINGFIELD: A CITY HELD HOSTAGE.  DAY ONE  (dramatization)]
   Jebediah Obadiah Zachariah Jedediah Springfield, he was.
   [A cheesy documentary.  Jebediah chops wood.]
   In 1838, along the way, he met a ferocious bear.
   [What is obviously a man in a bear costume appears.
    Jebediah discards his axe and wrestles the bear.
    The caption `dramatization' reappears.]
   And killed him with his bare hands.  That's B-A-R-E hands.
   [Jebediah wins.]
   We've recently uncovered evidence that the bear, in fact, probably
   killed <him>.

Because it was in a state founded by circus freaks?
