It would help if you could give a few more details as to what the clip contained so we could be sure which one you were talking about. The only one I remember was at the 1990 awards when they had Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie walking down an aisle during the Emmys to give out an award (lead actor in a comedy); Lisa makes some comment about how they shouldn't be competing against each other (unaware that, back in 1965, television academy president Rod Serling had said pretty much the same thing when they changed the Emmy rules so there would be no "single winner" awards) and asks the audience to show some support; they remain quiet, and Homer adds something like "See, Lisa, they want to beat each other" (pretty much just like the academy did when they went back to the current awards system in 1966). Bart reads the winner - "Bart Simpson!" - and Homer chokes him as Marge, holding the envelope over her lips, announces the real winner, but between the laughter from the previous joke and Marge's voice, it's hard to hear that the winner is Ted Danson (for "Cheers"), stealing the spotlight from the fact that it's Ted's first Emmy after seven straight losses.

I've never seen a complete transcript for it - just Lisa's quote in one of the old Simpsons Quotes files: Lisa: Wait! Members of the creative community, this could be a blessing in disguise, a chance to do away with winning and losing. If you agree with me that competition should be a thing of the past, that we should stand together as peers, then we should rip up every winning envelope. If you agree with me then stand up and applaud! Homer: See, Lisa, they want to beat each other.

Don Del Grande, [email] Considering all of the complaints that year about The Simpsons not being eligible for the Comedy Series Emmy, I was a little surprised Fox authorized their appearance like that
