  1. LMFAO… a coke!

  2. Well done! I could see Mr.Burns saying that.

    Mr Burns did say 'I owe you a coke' in one episode to Smithers.

    Wasn't there an ultra-bloody version of this gag on OAFE a while back?

  5. Actually, "I owe you a coke" as a comically understated bargain was something of a short-lived running gag.

  6. @Grenadier: I think OAFE stolded this one and provided a different version. (Correct me if I'm wrong Poe)

    I love jokes that end with "I'll have a diet coke."

    I took this photo almost a decade ago, when I was still in college.

    I posted it on my website at the time, "Poe Ghostal's Pit," and had people (mostly posters from the Spawn board) submit captions. Someone–and whoever it is has been lost to time and the vagaries of my various PCs–came up with this winner.

    I later used this photo several times on several different websites, including the OAFE version.

    The one on OAFE is about the same.

    According to the notes, it was flipped, re-lettered, and the blood was added in for kicks. Smithers also got to plead for help in the "Director's Cut Special Edition."

    I basically got stuck and needed a last-minute fill-in. It won't happen again because, well, I don't have any more.

  10. You know I thought it seemed vaguely familar. Now I know why!
