- kizzbizz, on 10/12/2007, -11/+49I'll probably get a cascade of thumbs down for saying it, but in my honest opinion, there are alot better Simpsons clips than this one to appear on the front page :|
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+26for instance: nearly any of them.
agreed, this clip is far beneath the average simpsons clip, especially from the era the clip in question is from. - nathanson666, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20Grandpa Simpson is awesome.
- JamesWilson, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15How the THX "deep note" was made: http://musicthing.blogspot.com/2005/05/tiny-music-makers-pt-3-thx-sound.html
- Fitznoggle, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14There actually is another THX parody, which I think is even funnier than this one:

i love how the first line on the page you link to says
'"perennially known as "Grampa" Simpson," - Kamakazi15, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Quit whining. Just because something is old doesn't mean that everyone has seen it.
- TomP, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7I vote this one http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8008463048690287283&q=simpsons
- daeyeth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I actually remember seeing that in Theaters, it was halirious. I only saw it once which is a shame. That should of been the official THX promo for theaters...lot of funnier than that stupid fat, Mario lookin wannabe they got now as their mascot.
- YumYumKittyLoaf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yes! I remebered this too, thought it was for Animaniacs, but funny none the less.
"The audiance is now deaf"
I loved Tiny toons - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4This is so old, it's older than Granpda Simpson.
- gcnaddict, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I remember seeing that on digg. Gasp! They had the simpsons parody on it too!
- tangerine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have this sound file attatched to Windows.
Whenever I boot up Windows, it plays.
Totally rocks.
Nice find. Hilarious. - dep0t, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Very nice. I need this in my living room.
- CypherXero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@Yashar:
THX came out 6 years BEFORE the Simpsons. - ManOfTomorrow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I like the Burns ad that follows...

- Craig1394, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The cool thing about that clip is, when I downloaded it a few years ago, I got the actual 5.1 DD surround vob file. I sneak it onto DVD projects I make for friends occasionally.
- mattimoto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1absolutely agree. In the imortal words of Southpark... "Lame!"
- miker71, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So Web 1.0, didn't I see this 10 years ago?! I guess it's good for the people who weren't born then to see the clip now - it *is* pretty funny.
- ManOfTomorrow, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1oh, and dugg for taking us back to a time when The Simpsons was original and hilarious!

The Ladies : "Be Like Boy, Be Like Boy!"
The Guys : "Bee like Boyy!! Be Likee Boyy"
And The Old People in The Back : " We Like Roy, We Like Roy!! " - ollj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Old.
I like the PIXAR version the most.

Come on its a parody in which the logo gets broken that made it into the cinemas and it really shows the stereo effect like no other. - Hoov, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Boohoo, do you base your existance on seeing your stories make it to the front page? Get real.
- sup34dog, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1welcome to the 20th century.
- nahteecirp, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3"...can someone explain how internet videos from 5 years ago that we've all seen a hundred times make it to this point on the site while much more meaningful content by some people never does?"
Because that is what people are currently into. As of right now 125 people thought it was cool. And therefore it makes it. Obviously not that many people thought your "meaningful content" was very cool/interesting. It's what I think is the cool part of Digg. It's not just what one person thinks is interesting, it is what a lot of people think is interesting. And my experience says that 125 people say something is cool, then it is a lot more likely that I will find it cool, as opposed to chances when just 1 or 2 people think something is cool. - TenebrousX, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1Sigh...the good old days of The Simpsons
- sky2k4, on 10/12/2007, -7/+0cool
- herkalees, on 10/12/2007, -16/+8This is yet another example of my declining faith in this web site. I personally have posted, and seen others post, such great material that appears in the Upcoming Stories section that never make it beyond 10 diggs. Then something like this comes along.
Give me a thumbs down for being the n00b, but can someone explain how internet videos from 5 years ago that we've all seen a hundred times make it to this point on the site while much more meaningful content by some people never does?
It can't be a case of "Well, your content has been posted before, and it's just repetition", because this simpsons video is the text-book definition of this.
Whatever. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -10/+2herkalees has a point ... look at this story for example:
http://www.digg.com/design/When_it_s_bad_to_use_display_none_in_your_CSS
should have been front page. - Yashar, on 10/12/2007, -11/+2I remember seeing this before some films in the theater. Wow that was such a long time ago.
- mutabi, on 10/12/2007, -11/+1lol awesome. Thats why i want to see "Over the Hedge" (i think thats the name), because it has a scene like that in it haha.
- beelz, on 10/12/2007, -20/+2its Abraham Simpson.
