The Best of Brockman- a selection of Springfield's favorite anchor's two cents:

"Hello, I'm Kent Brockman, and welcome to another edition of 'Smartline'. Are cartoons too violent for children? Most people would say 'No. Of course not. What kind of stupid question is that?' But one woman says 'yes'... Marge Simpson." (Itchy & Scratchy & Marge)

"Not since this reporter's marriage to Stephanie, the weather lady, has this town been so consumed with rumor and innuendo... Today, one Abraham 'Grampa' Simpson announced that he will give away over a hundred thousand dollars to the person- or persons- he finds most deserving. Is Grampa Simpson a modern day saint, a rich nut, or both?" (Old Money)

"Did you know that 34 million American adults are obese? Taken together, that excess blubber could fill the Grand Canyon two-fifths of the way up. That may not sound impressive, but keep in mind that it is a very big canyon." (Bart's Friend Falls in Love)

"Ladies and gentlemen, uh, we've just lost the picture, but what we've seen speaks for itself. The Corvair spacecraft has apparently been taken over- 'conquered' if you will- by a master race of giant space ants. It's difficult to tell from this vantage point whether they will consume the captive Earthman or merely enslave them. One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the ants will soon be here. And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords. I'd like to remind them as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves." (Deep Space Homer)

"This is hour 57 of our live 'round-the-clock coverage outside the Simpson estate. Remember, by the way, to tune in at 8:00 for highlights of today's vigil, including when the garbage man came and when Marge Simpson put out the cat. Possibly because it was harassed, we don't know." (Homer Badman)

Kent's report while 'The Bart Simpson Comet' is on a collision course towards Springfield: "I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Democracy simply doesn't work. Now, over the years, a newsman learns a number of things that, for one reason or another, he just cannot report. It doesn't seem to matter now, so... the following people are gay..." (Bart's Comet)

Kent's report while Sideshow Bob threatens detonate a nuclear bomb unless all television is abolished in Springfield: "And as my final newscast draws to a close, I'm reminded of a few of the events that brought me closer to you: the collapse of the Soviet Union, premium ice cream wars, dogs that were mistakenly issued major credit cards and others who weren't so lucky. And so, farewell, Eh, and don't forget to look for my new column in PC World magazine. " (Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming)

"... and the Weather Service warned us to brace ourselves for the onslaught of Hurricane Barbara. And if you think naming a destructive storm after a woman is sexist, you obviously have never seen the gals grabbing for items at a clearance sale..." (Hurricane Neddy)

"Top 'o the morning to ye on this gray, drizzly afternoon. Kent 'O Brockman live on Main Street, where today, everyone is a little bit Irish! Eh-heh, except, of course, for the gays and Italians." (Homer vs. the Eighteenth Amendment)
