Dialogue[]

Too Much of a Good Thing Pt. 1[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Homer Icon "The Holidays are here again? It seems like only yesterday I was tapping on my house and changing the design from “Christmas” to “plain.”
"And so much snow!"
Lisa Icon "Hey, EA! Ever hear of global warming. The whole “White Christmas” thing doesn’t really happen anymore."
Homer Icon "Lisa, everyone knows EA is overrun with global warming deniers.

Every cent of profit from their games goes to support anti-environment think thanks. Fun fact!"

Lisa Icon "There’s a big crate outside our house addressed to “Resident.” Is that for us?
Homer Icon "Well, I don’t mean to brag, but…yeah, it’s true. Your old man is a “Resident.” Been one my whole life. It’s pretty sweet."
"Sorry we never told you you’re descended from Residents. Your mother and I didn't want it to go to your head."
"You’d naturally want to lord it over other, less-fortunate kids at school."
Lisa Deadpan Icon "Yeah, thanks a bunch, I really just want to know what’s inside the crate."

End[]

Character Dialogue

Too Much of a Good Thing Pt. 2[]

Character Dialogue
Lisa Icon "There’s a memo attached to the bottom of the purchase order slip"
“Dear Resident, due to a stack overflow error with the Naughty/Nice record of one Bartholomew J. Simpson, all of Springfield has been erroneously rated “Naughty” for the last ten years.”
"To rectify the situation, Claus Co is required to provide presents for the town of Springfield until this deficit has been made up."
"Please accept this present delivery depot. Best Regards, The Claus Co Public Relations Department. Also, Global Warming is a hoax."
Homer Icon "Stupid stack overflow errors! Hey programmers, give your recursive functions the correct termination conditions! Sheesh!"
Lisa Icon "Uh, Dad? How do you know any of those words?"
Homer Icon "I don’t! But the people who write for me are colossal nerds. They think stuff like that’s hilarious. Stupid nerds!"

Too Much of a Good Thing Pt. 3[]

Character Dialogue
Lisa Icon "They’re full of gift cards…"
Homer Happy Icon "I love getting gift cards! They let me choose the gift I want."
Homer Icon "Or, I can put them in a dresser drawer, forget they exist, and get nothing. Which is what happens 99.9% of the time. The choice is mine!"
Lisa Icon "They say they’re redeemable at a store called “Claus Co”."
Homer Icon "Claus Co? Never heard of them . But then again, there’s lots of things I’ve never heard of."
"Like the Higgs Boson, for example. I’ve sure never heard of that thing!"
"Anyway, free stuff is free stuff. Let’s celebrate!"

Too Much of a Good Thing Pt. 4[]

Character Dialogue
Homer Icon "Hey, Apu! Can I pay for stuff at your store with Claus Co gift cards?"
Apu Icon "Do you think me a fool? Those gift cards are a totally unknown commodity. They could be worthless tomorrow."

Too Much of a Good Thing Pt. 5[]

Character Dialogue
Ned Icon "Yee-haw! Look at all this money! I’m rich! Rich, rich, rich!"

Lisa Icon "Mr. Flanders, your charitable impulses are admirable. But everyone is being bombarded with free money."
"Why not spend those gift cards on yourself for once?"
Ned Icon "Well, there is one purchase I've been dreaming of. But it’s so totally indulgent..."

Too Much of a Good Thing Pt. 6[]

Character Dialogue
Apu Happy Icon "Ah, Christmas. That frenetic orgy of desperate, credit-ruining spending. How it warms the heart of the non-Christian shop owner."
Apu Icon "If these Jesus Boosters just enjoyed the season, it would be fine. But they’re miserable. Every last one of them."
"Yoo-hoo! Christians! Your silly holidays make no sense!"
"Now, in honor of the Hindu celebration of Pancha Ganapati, I leave this offering of fruit to the five-faced elephant god, Ganesha. Because that’s just common sense."

Character Dialogue
Cletus Icon "I done collected me a truckload of these here gift cards."

"How am I gonna know I’m better than everyone else if I don’t have loads more money?"
Sideshow Mel Icon "In what sense are you rich? You owe millions to the mob!"
Krusty Icon "How do you know about my gambling debts?"
Sideshow Mel Icon "You've been very frank about it in your act. It’s fertile comedic ground. I’m not sure why the children respond to it, but they do."

Too Much of a Good Thing Pt. 9[]

Character Dialogue
Milhouse Icon "Gift cards everywhere! This year, I can afford to have the kind of Christmas I’ve only dreamed of!"
"Halls decked to perfection, figgy pudding bursting with figs, wassail freaking everywhere."
"Everybody donning their gayest apparel, songs of good cheer around the piano, until Dad says something that Mom mishears as a crack about her weight, and then the mood gets icy real fast..."
"Actually, it all sounds pretty terrible. Think I’m going to find another use for these cards.

Character Dialogue
Homer Happy Icon "Come on, kids! The Simpsons are eating out tonight!"

Lisa Icon "I thought you liked mom’s cooking."
Homer Icon "I love it! And wherever we go, the food won’t measure up."
"It will taste worse, yet be loaded with calorie-rich, high-fat gunk from parts of animals we’d rather not know exist."
"Yet none of that matters. Because I will be served by someone who laughs at my jokes and pretends I’m wonderful."
"All because they want some of my charming money."
"And don’t forget — the kiddies get off-brand crayons! And paper placemats with word searches, and mazes..."
Lisa Icon "I do like mazes..."

Wiggum Icon "Thanks. Hey, have you noticed that when you don’t have to work for a living, you end up with a lot of time to kill?"
Homer Icon "Well, I find eating sandwiches to be a rewarding way to fill the time."
"Other people may turn to reading, or spending time with loved one. But as for me, sandwiches."

"They're almost as draconian as the makers of popular mobile devices, such as phones and tablets!"
"The same devices upon which people play freemium games!"
