Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
It’s rare to meet a fan of The Simpsons who doesn’t have a hysterical Milhouse quote at the ready. “The ‘House” (as he has referred to himself) is the animated embodiment of the public’s love affair with the perennial underdog. Take our Milhouse quiz and show us how much you know about one of the most comically tormented characters in television history.

Sadly I don’t keep up on Milhouse. For me he’s easy to forget about. I’m more of a Ralph fan.

MH: Bart, you said there would be fudgicles. But where are the fudgicles?
Bart: First of all Milhouse, its Fudge-sicle. Second of all…

My favorite set of Milhouse related dialogue:
Sherri: She was looking at Nelson!
Kids: [taunting] Lisa likes Nelson!
Milhouse: She does not!
Kids: [taunting] Milhouse likes Lisa!
Janey: He does not!
Kids: [taunting] Janey likes Milhouse!
Uter: She does not!
Kids: [taunting] Uter likes Milhouse!
Mr. Largo: Nobody likes Milhouse!

I’m not a nerd, Bart. Nerds are smart.

FYI, for my first ever e-mail account, back in ‘96, my password was “milhouse”.

An awful 57% but love the Metallica reference.

10/12 not bad. I’m more of a Lisa fan myself.
The first quote that came to my mind was a dialogue:
Milhouse: Dad, can I have some money for a panda cone?
Kirk: What happened to the $300 I send your mother every month?
Milhouse: Weekday Dad wanted a DVD player.

Remember when you watched my goldfish and it died and you said I never had a goldfish? Then why’d I have the bowl, Bart? WHY’D I HAVE THE BOWL???

MILHOUSE IS NOT A MEME

10/12 – the middle name and bike quote got me.
“I don’t know Bart, my dad is a pretty big wheel down at the cracker factory”

75%; I about never post on websites. But Millhouse is my all-time favorite Simpsons character, so I loved this quiz. I couldn’t believe my top 3 quotes were already mentioned, re; goldfish bowl, doves crying, and “This is where I come to cry.” My roommate and I my senior year made “This is where we come to cry” part of our outgoing answering machine message.
I guess one more quote would be “I’m a human boy! With FEELINGS!” Ah, nerds coppin’ an attitude. Priceless.

Best one that comes to mind:
“Remember Alf? He’s back, and in Pog form!”

“I’m hurting, Bart.”

Milhouse: (hugging his stuffed dog)
Ahh.. Fluffy goo goo me a dream

Typo… my bad don’t judge me…
“Fluffy goo goo fetch me a dream”

Watch out Scratchy, he’s Irish!
This is when Bart and Milhouse narrate the silent film. In fact, I was just retelling that quote to someone a week ago. The quiz made me sorry I stopped watching the Simpsons many years ago — time to catch up and start laughing.

11 out of 12…. 92%, i know my simpsons, they are such a funny tv family

Milhouse: Behold gravity, in all its glory!
Mrs. Krabbappel: Pretty lame, Milhouse.

I have that Milhouse-as-Fallout-Boy toy… I feel like it came with a Happy Meal or something along those lines. Alas, I only got 9… for shame, Mike. For shame.

Jiminy jillikers, jiminy jillikers. I’ve said them so often, the words have no meaning.

Everytime we see someone drinking, my boyfriend and I exclaim loudly “Look out, Itchy! He’s Irish!”
I do also proclaim that everything is coming up Milhouse.
Here’s a quote I haven’t seen yet:
I never look out the window of a bus! If I do, I leave myself open to wedgies, wet willies, or even the dreaded rear admiral!

83%, best online quiz I ever took “and all I did was enter my name…Thrillhouse!”
Also, can’t forget: “I have soy milk. The doctor says the real kind could kill me.”
