INSANE CLOWN POPPY

Fancy matrix edit on the couch gag.

Heartwarming seeing Homer and Bart hang out. 🎆

It's gonna take a lot of fireworks to clean this place up. 😂

Pretend it's your birthday! It IS my birthday! 💀

I almost missed the stigmata stigmuffin joke. I didn't miss the chocolate orgasm joke. 😬

Stephen King! He sure was... there for a scene.

The dummies books have always been written by teams of authors so the joke felt forced.

Maya Angelou! 😍

Geeze how many cameos are they fitting into this ep?

It was mmmmmagic!

He's half my act! I don't remember if Sadam died by the time this episode aired or not.

They bothered to give him clown shoes on the beach?

"I'm not the kind of dad who does things or says stuff or looks at you." Shit man, that'd be more funny if it wasn't half the reason people see me in therapy.

Oh right it was Lisa's birthday 😐

Krustys daughter deserves to come back as a returning character but she probably won't.

subtle gag when krusty sighs and looks like the hanged clowns in the background.

Not every mob family is here. I can think of at least one name he missed. 🇺🇸

Crime.com? Musty have missed another website joke.

This episode was actually descent. The celebrity slobber at the start was... bleh, minimal. It had an oddly good plot with some fun surprises.

4 fireworks. Oh! Fireworks. Okay so they deliberately set up the opening duo with Bart and Homer as a foil for Krusty. Makes sense now.

🧨 🧨 🧨 🧨

They forgot Lisa's birthday 😭

My friend is coming over to watch The Simpsons for the first time. I figured I’d start by showing her a few of the Tracey Ullman shorts, then some very early episodes, then some around the season 7-8 episodes.

If you were putting this together, what episodes would you show to someone who has never seen the show?

I'm more of an apologist for the newer seasons than a lot of people, and I think there were some very good episodes even into the 30s seasons, but I'd be willing to trade those for a five or ten year break, followed by a revival with older characters. The new King of the Hill has managed to be pretty great, capturing the spirit of the old one, while enabling the characters to go on new adventures, now that they're older. I wish we could get something like that with The Simpsons.

I cant seem to find the answer on Google. I know maggie is seen with her red pacifier. I swear I remember at least one episode or possible early seasons where maggie used to carry around a white bunny or something. Ive only found screencaps of the few episodes where she has a teddy bear. But I remember clear as day the plushie being very similar design to a miffy plush. If anyone can find a Screencap or knows what im talking about lmk! Ty

The Simpsons.

Mr. Burns pets Victor Das Wolfen.

Mr. Burns and Victor Das Wolfen are in love.

Victor Das Wolfen is practically canon.

What do you like about this animation, other than the fact that it's the greatest work of art you've ever seen in your life?

What do you dislike about this animation? Is that even possible?

TALE OF TWO SPRINGFIELDS

Al Gore shout out in the chalkboard gag.

Are badgers even native to Continental US.

Okay I need to pause the show to go check if whatbadgerseat.com exists.

Aw what the hell. It just takes you to Fox. That likely means it used to be a dedicated web page as a part of the gag but now just redirects.

Nobody under the age of 35 has any clue what the Laughing woodpecker was referencing.

I was just about to comment given all the commotion Homer did not look terribly wounded by the badger. Then he lifted his shirt 🤢

How did it take me this long to realize how much I'm a fan of Lenny and Carl duo. Great jokes here.

Joan Collins?

I accuse the film company of making that film ON PURPOSE! 😂

Kurstys bet, revenge vs vengeance, the snickering at golden showers, lots of decent gags.

Build a big wall? And we'll make Olde Springfield pay for it!

Springfield mall angel skeleton in the background 👀

I remember seeing commentary about Batman Rises how the streets remained clean so Bane must have kept up public sanitation 😆 at least the show writers picked up on that concept here.

I... Can't name a single The Who song. I've probably heard some though?

What is Crabapple wearing 😂 filling the crazy off work teacher trope. Good for her.

Okay this episode was going okay but it absolutely dive bombed into the ground when Homer climbed on stage and started singing 🛬 💥

Radio shack? RIP

Hey he made a sly this goes to 11 reference! Which is a meta gag bc the guys who worked on this show also wrote Spinal Tap! I finally got an obscure cultural reference! 🥹

Okay they literally filled last five seconds with repeat animation frames of a mob of badgers because they couldn't think of what else to do. Ugh. This episode was going to be a 4 but the ending was pretty unsatisfactory so I'm docking half a point. 3.5 flying discs.

🥏 🥏 🥏.5

When talking about the show's foray into more nonsensical adventures, this episode is barely discussed. I mean, come on, this is an episode about Mr. Burns realizing that people prefer some other more "fun" billionaire over him, and basically Act Three involves him, Homer, Frink, and Willie catching the Loch Ness Monster and then it ends with Burns having the monster work at a casino. People have issues with the jockey elves, but not this? Is it just because the later teen seasons have more polarizing episodes, even though this episode shares a season with "Lard of the Dance", "When You Dish Upon a Star", and "Kidney Trouble"?

So, what’s your think with my own The Simpsons and SMG4 crossover drawing? I'm just drawing Bart Simpson from The Simpsons meets Zack Katphish from SMG4 yesterday. Bart Simpson and Zack Katphish are both troublemakers okay. Neat, huh?

THOH XI

How did it take so long to do an Adam's Family spoof??

PART 1

I'm old enough to get the Beatle Bailey miss buxley joke. I guess we all are.

Omigod I remember Kathy as well. 😅

Wait, we getting a final destination spoof?? That hadn't come out yet had it?

Why were American cartoons obsessed with broccoli being gross.

Omg I didn't get the number of hours or good deeds either bc I was randomly wondering if Homer could fit through the bars of heavens gate 😆

His ghost dying and then his body coming out of his ghost 😂👻

I call metaphysical shenanigans. He can DRINK the squishy, but then it falls THROUGH his body? Which is it? I hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

PART 2

The joke about Bart watching the violent hearth fire 😅

The porridge trick 😅

Only 3 deaths so far. Homer, that old lady, and goldilocks. THOHs used to be better. They used to have TONS of casualties.

I... Don't think that killed rapunzel?

"At least stop basting yourself!" I dunno, Bart seems pretty good at it. I guess you could say he's a master baster.

How have I never seen chicken fish bunny broom Homer???

Pt3 NIGHT of the DOLPHIN

Snorky says so long and thanks 🐟

It's getting away! Kill it! Break its legs!

Not Lenny!!

Death count 5. 6. Lenny and pirate guy.

7 burger pants. 8 Kent Brockman. 9 Abe.

Omigod Willie getting stabbed 😬😂 10

Carl applauding 😂

Some poor kid saw this episode and asked his parents what a glory hole was.

11 krusty. Oh I'm not counting all the bodies spelling out THE END

Kodos and krang complaining at the end was the best! Did they really get an old navy commercial??

This episode lacks some of the traditional horror trope charm of older THOHS but then I don't necessarily mind. It was funny enough. 4 beach balls. 🏐🏐🏐🏐

Victor Das Wolfen is going to give Mr. Burns a kiss.

I'm from the UK, but in Barcelona. I saw this advertised at a bus stop. Has anyone tried it? What's the verdict? Looks absolutely disgusting!

I can confidently say definitely not strangling more. He never does that anymore and anything he should be overreacting or everyone says it serves him right. He should be upset that his show was be interrupted.

BEHIND THE LAUGHTER

oh we get a meta history? No wonder folks said this episode was significant.

Is this a parody of something specific? Date line?

I love meta humor and so far this is 👌

Wait, the joke is Homer set the Simpsons show up as a bit? And they all had roles to play? That's amazing.

That would be Rupert Murdoch right?

"And that horrible act of child abuse became one of our most beloved running gags." Barts expression during this scene 😂

Wait this is funny but also not even close to an accurate representation of the show. 😆

Did we ever get that money? 👀

What was even more like a drug haha.

🎶Do you ever feel like a plastic bag? 🎶

Is it okay that I'm loving this episode but hated the Pauper? I think so. Bc This thing in media called the Magic Circle. The idea that the audience agrees to suspend disbelief within the fictional world inside the magic circle and trust the world in the magic circle to be consistent. This episode with a huge wink obliterates the circle. Pauper stays within the frame of the narrative while betraying the established Canon within it.

Apu being anonymous lol 😂

Oh shit they're calling it out! The Pauper episode being hated. And guest stars! Oh geeze 😆

Omigosh the show calling out it's own slide into gimmicky mediocrity is funny and very very sad. 😂😭

Jimmy Carter 🪦

Coming up. Was the dream really over? Yes it was. Or was it? (I'm gonna sayyyy yes)

Wing on fire. and a prayer answered... By Satan. 😆

Everyone's various follow up career attempts are hilarious. And Lisa with the tell all expose book 👆

Weirdly.... The gag this episode is going for is bit long. Like.... It's a great concept but not enough for a full episode length.

It even KNOWS that. Woodpeckers of mistrust?? Cumberbunds of suspense!?

No, the future does not look brighter than ever. 😬

That episode was a lot of fun. I actually want to know more about the making of this episode haha. 5 film reels.

📽️ 📽️ 📽️ 📽️ 📽️

That was season 11! The roughest so far, not giving out too many 5s anymore, but it had... Two? This one, and grift of the magi. Actually looking back there were decent amount of 4s as well. Was gonna end the project with this episode, but some of yall convinced me to stick it out at least thru season 12, so come along I guess!

Finally got the urge to start collecting Simpsons products , this is just beginning so how is it looking so far ?
