Simpsons references for Moms #1

And now, by popular demand, a new series called: common Simpsons references that you probably have heard but don't know the context of for Moms! In our first installment:

"Turn it up!"

Usage:
1) as a direct reference, when you see the THX sound check;

2) generally, when something (esp. TV, movie, etc.) is too quiet

3) more specifically, when something should be loud enough but one's hearing is impaired;

4) ironically, when something (esp. TV, movie, etc.) is too loud.

Reference to:
Season 5 Episode 18 ("Burns' Heir"). The family is at the movies and the THX ad plays, which cracks Moleman's glasses, shatters a guy's teeth, EXIT sign blows up, ceiling splits, a second man's head explodes, and everyone cheers. Grampa says, "Turn it up! Turn it up!!!"

p.s. You may remember this reference from this post.
