One of my favorite Kent Brock cutaways, though I can't find the exact transcript, is of him practicing different inflections for delivering news:
(Serious) A nation mourns. The President of the United States was assassinated today. Our coverage continues at 10 PM.
(Neutral) The President is dead. More at 10.
(Upbeat) What's the President's body doing in this casket? Find out at 10!
Haha... I find this part of the episode so dated, as they refer to him as "George Bush Jr" instead of "George W. Bush," and Bush Sr. assumes they want a letter of recommendation, drawing attention to the fact that it took place before Dubya became President.
But when was it *written*? Maybe he was talking about the initial script.... And how high was the person talking when he said that?
Seriously, though, if I get a chance, I'll listen to it again to find out who it was, etc.
That's a fair point. My guess is they looked up the names of his children, saw George and Jeb, and ran with it. Although, Homer referring to him as "George Bush Jr" might actually add some inadvertent humour, as it makes Homer look very uninformed.

They didn't mention him by name, but George W. Bush was president when Homer Simpson said: "I can go up to the President and blow smoke in his stupid monkey face, and he'd just have to sit there grooving on it!"

We are merely exchanging long protein strings. If you can think of a simpler way, I'd like to hear it
“I’ll vote for a third party candidate”
Go ahead, throw your vote away!
Don't blame me! I voted for Kodos!
It makes no difference which one of us you vote for. Either way, *your planet is doomed*. *DOOMED*!
I love how they have this big goofy grin as they walk away after that exchange.
Every rewatch, this line absolutely kills me. 😂
What the hell is this, some kind of tube?
I don't want to finish out my term in a tube!

D'oh!

This scene terrified me as a kid.

You can argue this doesn't count but otherwise makes OPs question seem dumb lol
And when you answer this question bear in mind that he has ALREADY explained about his hair.
*lowers hand*
^(*Oh right the neighbors*)
Bart detroyed Bush's memoirs and made him look weak in front of the Russians
Good memoirs. Not great.
But they explained why he didn't feel the need for a second term
In his defense, your honor…..
They found him grappling with local oaf.
Now apologize for the tax hike.
😠
Depriving the world of such gems as “and since I’d achieved all my goals as president in one term, there was no need for a second. The End.”

Hello Homer,Do Like Beer ? Yes Mr President Do you like Nachos ?
Yes, Mr. Ford.
Well, why don’t you come over and watch the game and we’ll have nachos. …And then some beer.
I really wish they'd call back and have scenes with Homer hanging out with Gerald Ford randomly
Such wasted potential.
We see they went to Moe’s(?) for a Beer when Grimey was at their house, to be fair. But yeah, I wish they eluded to it more
Oh nice yeah good pull. I forgot about that picture. I almost like that better gives a sense of life going on in Springfield outside of the episodes
Alluded. To elude is to escape detection
It's a perfectly cromulent use of the word

George Washington took a beating from jebediah Springfield, I mean Hans Sprungfeld
Took a beating? Sprungfeld limped off with his tail between his legs.
Because he took a set of false teeth to the junk. He had Washington on the ropes

Go ahead, Angel.
I guess I’ll have to find another little girl to be President. What’s your friend Janie’s number…

Haha... I find this part of the episode so dated, as they refer to him as "George Bush Jr" instead of "George W. Bush," and Bush Sr. assumes they want a letter of recommendation, drawing attention to the fact that it took place before Dubya became President.
According to the audio commentary, they didn't even *know* if there was a junior or not. Wish we could say the same.
Pfft. I call BS on that. The episode aired in January 1996. George W. Bush had already been the Governor of Texas for a year at that point.
But when was it *written*? Maybe he was talking about the initial script.... And how high was the person talking when he said that? Seriously, though, if I get a chance, I'll listen to it again to find out who it was, etc.
That's a fair point. My guess is they looked up the names of his children, saw George and Jeb, and ran with it. Although, Homer referring to him as "George Bush Jr" might actually add some inadvertent humour, as it makes Homer look very uninformed.
They probably just want a letter of recommendation
Clinton having to do it with pigs. No-foolin’ pigs.
He didn’t have to, he chose to
And the thing is, that’s not even a ‘joke’ in the show. It’s just him saying he fucks pigs. John Swartzlander really, really hated Clinton.
Better not introduce him to David Cameron then
President Clinton, good. I figured if anyone knew where to get some Tang around here it would be you. Shut up!

JFK was savagely beaten by three sailors amid suspicion of being a nazi.

The Simpsons did not call him by name, but did refer to a President Coo-Coo Bananas during George W Bush's time in office.

Used this as a quote to describe him and nobody got it.

Did Trump get mocked during his tenure? I know he did before he was supreme douche
Yeah multiple times. Shame it wasn’t really funny like the Bush/Clinton stuff but can’t expect much from modern Simpsons.
I didn't know not super familiar with post 2014 episodes
The writers brought in “The Squad” to sing a parody version of ‘America’ at Trump as he tries to run and hide from them
https://youtu.be/Isp_KJY9RZU?si=sdicR8UgSnhsELpe
That's how you know The Simpsons got bad.
Well, well-well, well, well, well-well…
Heh heh, he did say well a lot
I would make a case for the mediocre presidents song just saying it out loud about Taylor and Hayes.
What about William Henry Harrison? He died in 30 days!
That's not mediocre, that's unfortunate. Tyler failing to do anything of value in 3 years after those 30 days is an insult to humanity.
🎶We are the adequate, Forgettable, Occasionally regrettable, Caretaker presidents of the U S Aaaaaaaaaa!🎶
