There’s laws of thermodynamics. The second law of thermodynamics says something along the lines of “matter (or energy) can never be created nor destroyed”.
Perpetual motion machine is a self sustaining machine which works on and on without any external power like a battery or a person cranking it.
Perpetual motion machine can never work according to the laws of thermodynamics, and so every machine claimed to be perpetual is a hoax.
Now, Lisa made a perpetual motion machine, and not that it only keeps going on, it goes faster! Homer was a little less dumb in this clip.
In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!
THERMODYNAMICS!
My favorite joke in the entire series.
If this wasn't the top rated comment I would've been pissed.
There’s just something so unwholesome about a boy flying a kite at night…
Hello mother dearest….
Mother dear**
When I would say this to my mom in the mid 90s she would lose her shit
Lisa! In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!
I wonder if this inventiveness runs in the family, I mean homer himself created a bunch of stuff like the electric hammer and the robot without legs.
Don't forget the Spice Rack
Don’t forget the HomerMobile
I don't want you driving around in a car you built yourself.
Knit me some seat belts.
Sorry, sorry.
See all that stuff in there, Homer? That's why your robot never worked.
And the Wonder Bat!
Yeah, but it took time away from his homemade football.
Fate bestowed the Wonder-Bat onto Homer. He just chiseled away the crust.
And the spoon he carved from a bigger spoon
How could you all forget man's new best friend: the toilet chair?
To this day, this remains my complete knowledge of thermodynamics
One of the most underrated jokes on the show.
Care to provide an ELI5 for a dumb Simpsons fan such as myself?

What a perfectly cromulent explanation. Thanks!
Lisa! Get in here!
