- Quotes
Homer: Look Marge, you don't know what it's like - I'm the one out there every day putting his ass on the line! And I'm not out of order. You're out of order. The whole freakin' system is out of order! You want the truth? You want the truth? You can't HANDLE the truth! 'Cause when you reach over and put your hand into a pile of goo that was your best friend's face, you'll know what to do! Forget it, Marge! It's Chinatown!
Marge: Homer, don't EVER tell them personal stuff about me again!
Homer: [nervously] Yes, ma'am!

Outside of this though it is business as normal. Each episode is quite brilliant – delivering a story but packing it full of sight-jokes, great dialogue and tones of cultural references, the vast majority of which are smartly done. There were a couple of times this season again when I had to Google to get the full context of some of the references. The animation is consistent and the supporting characters continue to be well used whether it is to drive a specific plot or just little asides which are both funny but also build up the understanding of who the character is. This ensemble feel is well done and adds a lot of value to the show.
This fifth season may have seen a few more plots which stretch the Simpsons universe, but they all work and are very funny, so this really doesn't matter at all. Very strong season – consistently clever and funny.
