It's not just you. The show just hasn't been as good for the past several years. The Simpsons used to be filled with tons of little cultural jokes and witty remarks that were easy to miss but really made the show. Homer used to be a loveable oaf but now he's just a moron. And an asshole.
The show still has slapstick potential but I don't go out of my way to watch it, anymore, and when I do it's never quite as satisfying as it used to be.
Now, the good stuff. Almost anything Ralph Wiggum says is hilarious. My personal favorites are:
"Daddy says I'm <B>this</B> close to sleeping in the yard."
"I bent my Wookie."
"My knob tastes funny."
From the newer episodes, the one where Marge got a boob job was really stupid but had a funny quote. Marge is yelling at the doctor about giving her the accidental boob job and when she threatens to tell Homer, the doctor says, "Ah, yes, your husband. I'm sure he's going to be furious," in that goofy accent. Very funny.
My vote for best episode is split between the Hank Scorpio episode and Whacking Day.
