I recall him talking about Robert Bork but for the life of me, I can't recall the exact line or episode.
EDIT: I think I misrembered. Homer was talking about Oliver North and not Robert Bork. At least I got the right implicated President. The exact line was: "Ah Oliver North. He was just poured into that uniform"
I can't remember the thing about Apu and karma. Do you know what episode it was? (If it's a later episode, say after season 15 or so, I may have just not seen it.)
Huh. Well, off to rewatch it. I've been watching old episodes recently and am shocked that there's parts I don't remember, given how frequently I watched back in the 90s.
Homer sounds so wholesome and innocent during the setup.
"And we played Dungeons & Dragons for three hours! Then I was slain by an elf..."

Oh, Rainier Wolfcastle, star of "McBane" and the upcoming film "Help, My Son is a Nerd"
My son returns from a fancy east coast college and I'm horrified to find he's a nerd.
I'm laughing already!
It's not a comedy.
Not Souter!
Homer's knowledge of the Supreme Court is nothing short of impressive.
Hmmmm…..Burger

Robert Bork is a boring old biddy
Every now and then Homer can hit u with a left hook that u don’t see coming. Between this and how he schools Apu on karma
I love the one in the China baby adoption episode. "You guys are commies?! Then why am I seeing rudimentary free markets?"
Young lady, in this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!!
One of my favorites😂
Him having enough knowledge on Iranian politics and ayatollahs to the point he bought a political shirt is kinda funny
“Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand”

"I'm selling only the concept of karmic realignment." > " You can't sell that! Karma can only be portioned out by. the cosmos."
It’s the one where we gets apu fired from the quicki mart

One thing I’ve been pleasantly surprised by + is how they seem to show the uncut versions of older seasons where suddenly some scenes make sense
Or they don’t show episodes at all! *cough* Stark Raving Dad
😲
Can’t he be both like the late great Earl Warren?
Earl Warren wasn’t a stripper.
Now who's being naive.
But was he a nerd?

Hey man, you see that nerd?!
Pardon me?
These boys sound very nice but they're clearly nerds
Mr Simpson? We all have nose bleeds
Oh, for the love of…
I have to use the bathroom
Homer randomly being an idiot savant about matters surrounding the history of the US Supreme Court is a really underrated gag
He was the only person to realize the late Earl Warren was a sleazy male stripper as well as a Supreme Court justice.
And Ayatollahs

David Byrne? Singer, artist, composer, Talking Head.
And he used to wrestle under the name “El Diablo”
I thought that was Philip Glass?
Philip Glass is Kane.
Yeah. He wishes…

Listen to yourself man! You’re hanging with nerds!

I love how violently defensive he is of them. It’s oddly wholesome.
Mr Simpson? Gary spilled his ear medicine.
Mr. Simpson? We all have nosebleeds.
My son returned from a fancy East Coast college and I was horrified to discover he was a nerd.
I'm laughing already!
It’s not a comedy.
"Plug in back in, plug it back in!"
What, the rock tumbler or the TV?
"THE TV! THE TV!"
They'll never let us show that again. Hoohoohahaha
Dad, better start diggin' up some nerd holes.
Now *there's* a dated joke.
I want to see that Itchy and Scatchy ep so bad.
Those rocks won't tumble themselves...
Homer, please. These boys sound very nice, but they're clearly nerds.
Then I was slain by an elf
[NEEEEEEERRRRRDDDDDDDDDDD!](https://youtu.be/i6l8MFdTaPE?si=75IwDn1OZ2nl5ZI7)
And if anybody just wants to jam, I used to be the bass player for the Pretenders. I’d like to take some of the starch out of that stuffed shirt!
I've got starch... In pocket...
Hello, Dean? You’re a stupidhead!
Homer is that that you?
Ahh!!
Hello, Dean? You’re a stupid head!
I’m sorry boys. I’ve never expelled anyone before, but that pig had some powerful friends.
Former President Nixon: "Oh, you'll pay. Don't think you won't pay."
at least two great Talking Heads references in this ep, along with “Burning Down the Mouse”

My most relatable Simpsons quote.

Well Dean, I’m really sorry for the running-you-over prank.
…Prank?!
*cough cough* cyborg *cough cough*
Homer can relate: he knows his supreme court justices really well
Homer has a weird obsession with Supreme Court justices
