A Tribute to Edna Krabappel
Bart Simpson’s teacher, Ms. Krabappel, has passed away. Okay, technically, Marcia Wallace, the voice of the chain-smoking, solitary drinker, single-syllable laugher, ‘loose’ fourth-grade teacher, has passed away at the age of 70. Producers at The Simpsons have announced that they will retire the character from the show.
Now, in Gunaxin style, we will pay tribute to Edna Krabappel, and all the good times (wink wink) she brought us.
Krabappel Quotes
“Hiya, scrumptious. Do you want to ignite my drink?”
[Mrs. Krabappel’s class is watching a sex education video] “She’s faking.”
“Half-assed apology accepted.”
“Do what I mean, not what I say.”
“As you know, Bart, one day your permanent record will disqualify you from all but the hottest and noisiest jobs.”
[menacingly] “You’re going to be my murder victim, Bart…”
[brightly] “…in our school production of Lizzy Borden, starring Martin Prince as Lizzy.”
“These tests will have no effect on your grades. They merely determine your future social status and financial success.” [She looks at Bart] “If any.”
“All right, but you’ll have to do your homework. Just kidding. I’ve given up on you long ago.”
[Bart is about to destroy the school with a tank]
[monotonous and indifferent] “No, stop, think of the children.”
“We all got tired of that chalkboard years ago.”
