Funny / The Simpsons Ride

Go To

  • Virtually all the ride names in the preshow video loops, such as "Captain Dinosaur's Pirate Rip-Off" and "Haunted Condo" (which is mentioned as being closed for "annual ghostbusting").
  • The many signs and notices that hammer in just how terrible Krustyland is.
    KRUSTYLAND ATM: Fees raised from $2 to "double however much money you're taking out" - Sorry
  • One of the videos in the queue shows what happened to the Institute of Future Technology: Professor Frink decides to head back in time with the DeLorean in order to prevent the sale of the IFT. By doing this, he runs over the man who was going to help Doc Brown (actually voiced by Christopher Lloyd!) keep the IFT alive, and because of this, Doc has to sell the institute to "that mercenary clown".
    Krusty: Mercenary clown? That's me! (puts a Krustyland sign over the IFT sign and laughs)
    Doc: (opening the door of Krusty's limo) So, what can I do for you, boss?
    Krusty: You can take tickets at the front if you get a haircut.
    Doc: Fine by me! It takes me three hours in the morning just to get it like this!
  • While everyone goes to the ride after the introductory scene, Homer constantly tells everyone to sit down in various ways and then threatens to make an annoying noise. Especially amusing as everyone would have sat down by this point.
  • How the Simpsons get chosen for the ride.
    Krusty: Eeny meeny miny mo, make it quick, I gotta go, to the little clown's room, so, the family that will see my show, is the one who hollers...
    (Sideshow Bob steps on Homer's foot)
    Homer: D'OH!
  • From the preshow: Krusty asks the Simpsons to choose the people who will come with them on the ride. Bart points to the audience and asks "How 'bout these guys?" "Eh, sure. They look clean."
  • Bob's reveal to the family.
    Krusty: What do you want?
    Sideshow Bob: A dish best served cold.
    Homer: Is it ice cream?
    Sideshow Bob: NO! Revenge!
  • In the final preshow room, Sideshow Bob announces "Now, the last thing that you'll ever see! A legally-required safety video." "AAAAAAAH!" Even better, the ride instruction video is an Itchy & Scratchy short.
    • Doubles as a Moment of Awesome when you realize that even though the writers had to keep the violence PG-rated for the littler kids, it still feels like a good Itchy & Scratchy cartoon.
    • Additionally, the only reason why they're on the ride is because Homer waited for so long to go on it.
  • Two of the exchanges in the ride's opening scene:
    Lisa: I'm scared, dad!
    Homer: Sweetie, they won't kill you in an amusement park as long as you have a dime left in your pocket.

    Sideshow Bob: There's nothing you can do! You're about to die!
    Homer: You sound like my doctor!
  • During the part when Sideshow Bob is trying to kill the Simpsons with a wrecking ball, Homer stands up out of the vehicle, proclaiming that the rule of sitting down on the ride is "a load of corporate crap!", only for him to get knocked out of the vehicle by said wrecking ball.
    Homer (when running away from the now-rolling wrecking ball): Come on, ball, you don't want to hurt me, we're both big and round and never finished high school!
  • When the ride vehicle enters the structure shaped like Krusty's head, we hear his voice say "WELCOME TO A MAGICAL JOURNEY THROUGH MY MOUTH."
  • Nelson: You're all gonna die! Ha, ha!
  • Sideshow Bob ambushing Bart and Lisa on the "Happy Little Elves in Panda Land" ride.
    Sideshow Bob: The panda begs to differ!
  • When Homer and Marge land on the pirate ride:
    Homer: Alone at last!
    Marge: Bob's trying to kill the kids!
    Homer: It just gets better and better...
  • Homer causing Disaster Dominoes in "Captain Dinosaur's Pirate Rip-Off" which causes the ride to collapse around him and Marge.
    Homer: When did beer hurt anybody? (Homer rips a giant mug away from an animatronic pirate) Uh-oh, I hate chain reactions!
  • During the whale scene:
    Sideshow Bob: You've foiled my plans for the last time!
    Bart: ...you soiled your pants for the last time? Haha!
    • Lisa, riding a killer whale, saying "Onward, convenient whale!" after she saves the riders.
  • Maggie mistaking the riders' vehicle for a pacifier. Marge orders her to take it out, and the audience gets sprayed when she does.
  • The billboard that says "Send Money to Universal Studios", a particularly hilarious case of a company making fun of itself.
  • When the Simpsons go back into their home, only for it to be revealed that they're still on a ride, Kang and Kodos come out, with Kodos saying, "Foolish earthlings! Don't you know all rides must end near the gift shop?"
  • When the Simpsons are being dropped from the "Death Drop" ride, Homer exclaims, "My bosoms are slapping my face!"
  • At the end of the ride:
    Sideshow Bob: I've still got five seconds to kill someone! (glances at audience) Hello, folks! (Immediately gets crushed by The Simpsons' couch)
