The Simpsons - Homer Finds Glasses in the Toilet

"That's a right triangle, you idiot!"

Taken from S5E10: $pringfield (or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)

Trivia time: that's a reference to The Wizard of Oz, when the Scarecrow got a brain and said precisely that (except he didn't get corrected).

I love how there's a slight echo in his voice when he talks into the toilet.

I always say I’m smart but then I immediately remember homer picking glasses out of the toilet and realize that’s what I’m actually talking about.

[pyromania]

He sounds so angry when he corrects him.

"That's a right triangle, ya idiot!"

[malfaroangel]

The fact that the man even corrected him is hilarious. Especially whiling sitting in the toilet doing the math when Homer says the equation

[josephineczykoski]

And that's how Homer got the worst case of pinkeye Dr. Hibbert has ever seen.

“Hey! There’s something you don’t see in a toilet everyday.” I only just got that joke on like my 3rd time seeing this clip, that’s brilliant.

[harlanmiller]

I like that Homer thought to ask if anyone lost their glasses before taking them.

[JackQSmith]

As a lover of both Simpsons and math I always loved this scene but it was at least 20 years before I realized this was a Wizard of Oz reference.

The correct formula is "The sum of the squares of the two legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse."

[rockerseven]

Definitely up there with "I AM SO SMART! I AM SO SMART! S-M-R-T! I mean...S-M-A-R-T!"

[BraninT]

"Also it's squares, not square roots. The sum of two square roots will always result in the square root of a number much larger than the sum of the original two sides, which means you'd never be able meet in order to make a triangle of any kind.

[eleanorhogan]

I would not want a pair of glasses that had been floating around in a toilet.

[kisbie]

One of many Simpsons jokes that’s a contender for most perfect of all time.

[Inferno]

One of my all time favorite "Simpsons" bits.

[aloe]

This is a reference to the wizard of oz, in case you guys were wondering

[wrestlmaniarocks]

Why does the toilet guy sound like he's voice by the guy who played buzz lightyear (Tim Allen).

[tomedy_official]

If only he said " the overall square root of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is not equal to the remaining side."
