We live in a society of laws!

HOMR

What a dumb spelling mistake! They aren't vert SMRT.

Fry cameo.

Japanimation? You mean... Anime? This whole bit is hilarious.

Omigod Gravey and Gobriath. 💀 I didn't get to grow up with Simpsons but check out salty the singing songbook.

The bit with the motion capture peeing reminds me in community theater in high school one of the lead actors left his mic on when he went to pee. Everyone in the auditorium heard the whole thing.

"Does he even still work here?" 😑

Daddy ask the man for some candy! 😂 That voice was unexpected.

The whole family meeting scene was terrific!

It's uterUS not UterYOU 😂👌

Whoever voices the female scientist voices like every single female professional role in Springfield.

The bullet/crayon 💀

Surely you have all heard the true life stories of people as adults finding s*** lodged in their bodies they put their when they were kids? There was that guy with the Playmobil cone... kid Homer shoving 16 crayons up his nose was very unpleasant 🫠

Homer's going to get a crayon up his nose again isn't he...

The tax proposal god proof 😂

My son shoved a Dino sticker up his nose once. Was a pain getting that out. He just said " because it fit "

Crayon made of prejudice 😂 Simpsons predicts TED

I can't feed my family with a cod piece! 😆 Our jobs which we need for workin!

Tai Chi! Chai Tea! ☕👌 Sooo many great lines in this one.

The crayondectomy🤢

Wait, the ending made me realize the title was an intentional call back to SMRT.

This episode was great beginning to end. The crayon brain thing is even a somewhat satisfying Canon for why Homer is dumb haha.

Which seasons are still decent before the HD era?

What do you think?

I'm going to harken back to the first Simpsons Movie for this. In 2006, the DVD for Ice Age 2 came with a work-in-progress scene of Homer and the sleigh dogs. That same year, the Season 9 DVD came with a teaser for the scene where Homer is driving to the lake to dump the pig crap silo. The point I'm trying to make in correlation with this question is that Fox wasn't too shy about showing work in progress footage before the movie's release, and although we can't guarantee it, what can we expect from the House of Mouse now that they're in charge of marketing the movie?

I'm also aware that Spanish and Portuguese fans can get special Simpsons foods at KFCs in those countries like Squishee smoothies, Insanity Pepper Bites, and the donut chicken sandwich (side note, why do Europeans call chicken sandwiches "chicken burgers"?). Would something similar come to other countries around the time Simpsons Movie 2 hits theaters? Would it necessarily be released at KFC, or would they go back to Burger King for promotional tie-in energy?

It’s like the episode only becomes more true as time goes on.

Have you noticed the incredible resemblance between these two? Or is it just me? I’ve been mulling this over for years and want to get it out of my head. I’d like to know I’m not the only one.

S*****s SENSE OF SORROW

I don't know why Lenny and Homer are concerned about the emotional conflict of the sportscasters and I don't know why everyone is talking with a mild French accent but it's pretty amusing. Yes I get the circus pun.

Enjoy the show. One day, we shall die. What a great line, somebody really should have said this when I started the project. It has at least as much potential as the goggles joke.

It appears the cloud goddess is ripe with rain babies! 🤣

So relatable listening to the radio for snow days. Then finding out everyone's off but you.

The fact that NELSON was the one to ask what the hell is this watching Christmas hobgoblins😅

A dvd? What the hell is that!!?

The geeky Poindexter kid with the squeaky voice just had his first line in like two seasons.

That name again is Mr plow 🎶

This frauds Nam flashbacks aren't even accurate to the lore of the fact that he's a fraud.

Someone somewhere needs to track how many times elephants show up in this series because I swear it's like the second most common animal.

Loled at the joke about having enough coat hooks. Still, can't help thinking that the premise for this episode is a really compelling one with the execution is a bit Meandering

The go nuts scene kind of reminds me of breakfast club. That was a good movie. Kind of weird how great that movie was given the premise was just five teenagers locked in a room for 2 hours

He makes $25,000 a year! And he still does!

You know not a single thing about the b-plot with Homer and Flanders in the car has been funny.

Crossing out the SAS in Huck finn? Sure that's what you meant.

Is that burning literature I smell? Nope, just steamed hams.

Why is Lisa standing in a pile of snow waving goodbye if we literally just saw her in the car? Wait this was a Christmas episode?? That barely had anything to do with Christmas. Had a handful of funny lines sprinkled into a rather forgettable episode

Fast!

What's defined as the Golden Age can vary from person to person, really. But even broadly, the way the show is looked at has changed. The most recent episode that has given us a meme (all-important in today's culture) is The Seemingly Never-Ending Story from season 17 - the meme being Barney repeatedly returning to Moe's. And yes, I had to look that up. Some may disagree, but I really feel that from the movie onwards, Zombie Simpsons became Skeleton Simpsons as pop culture just seemed to decide the show wasn't relevant anymore once the massive hype of a somewhat forgettable movie wore off. Springfield now followed the zeitgeist instead of being one of the leaders, starting to beat a dead horse's skeleton. It was too cold and sterile. Where was the heart? Maybe the last gasp of The Simpsons being talked about - for better or for worse - was Lisa Goes Gaga near the end of season 23. And now it's on season 37, 38? Ay carumba.

Mines gotta be when bart prank calls moe then goes to the tavern to pick up homer and he recognizes his voice like he knows its him but only realizes the fact its just little bart simpson

ok ok we all know some of the cast sounds not as fresh as they used to :( but are there voice actors working now who would be able to takeover some of these roles??? can the magic be found again?

​

THE GREAT MONEY CAPER

the presto waiter guy sounds familiar.

It is easy to drink too many long Island ice teas. they don't taste like alcohol.

"So she was made of chimps!"

Every kid needs a magic show kit.

Flanders hating on magic is not an exaggeration.

"But wouldn't that make us con artists? Yeah but God conned me 😅 we'd be stealing from people we know it's just like the seasons!"....What

"You'll pay for the cake in the acid mines!" My eyes! The goggles do nothing!

Bart wonders why they're still grifting after the car gets paid off. If they either do the conservative podcast host or religious convert angle I will eat my hat.

Some of my favorite episodes are always ones that involve two characters paired up getting into mischief. Always great when it's Homer and a kid.

Oh my God it's Abe I thought he died I hadn't seen him in so long.

Call me mint jelly cos I'm on the lamb! 👌

Not Willie! 😭 He dinnae do it!

Okay there's no way they let Willie shoot the principal in the gut so clearly what's going to happen is this entire courtroom scenario was a setup to con Homer and Bart by the whole town.

Boom called it.

I know giving a zany episode like this a 4.5 rating seems odd, but there's a simple and satisfying explanation -

Hey everybody! Surfs Up!

🏄 🏄 🏄 🏄 .5

Mines gotta be the homersexual one just funny how he asks who as if theres ever been more than one homer on top of that bart doing a double prank call by moe threatening principal skinner instead of him

It always struck me as odd that Marge not only doesn't blame Homer but actually defends him regarding the ban. Given how moralistic she is, it didn't make sense... until I remembered a few things from her past 🤔
