Scudworth posted:Das Bus is a lovely retelling of Lord of the Flies using Simpson children, a book with almost no comedy to being with. Where is the humor in making a comedy episode about something that was already a comedy? Aren't most parodies based around things that aren't supposed to be humorous? That's like saying "it's so weird Mel Brooks made Young Frankenstein when the original book is so serious. Why didn't he make it about the movie Cinderfella?"

"Go banana", "tastes like burning", and Otto's pitiful rescue attempt were already posted. When I was a kid, and wasn't all grown-up and sick of non-endings yet, I thought the "oh, let's say...... Moe" bit was hilarious. "One thing they export is corn... or as the Indians call it, maize" was funny. "I can't go on, you two go ahead... and carry me with you!" was also funny. ....Not funny enough for me to remember them without looking it up, though.

Marge was sounding kinda weird in some clip in here though Scudworth posted:Yeah and all but 2 of those things are outside the Lord of the Flies plot. I shouldn't have quoted your post because I wasn't really responding to it. If you think Lord of the Flies has no comedy potential you've obviously forgotten about the rear end-mar edit: SUCKS to your rear end-mar, scudworth

Ein cooler Typ posted:a fan sent an unsolicited script to Prince and Prince thought it was cool and wanted to do it I remember reading online a while back that they wanted to bring back that crazy Michael Jackson character and having him think he was Prince instead, but Prince saw that as him playing second fiddle to MJ, so he had his limo driver write a new script, which he sent to the Simpsons crew, who rejected it.

If you look at the house diagram, the TV screen is directly in front of the window while in the episode it is at a 90-degree angle. Why would Homer move the TV? If it's to avoid the distraction of the outdoors, why not just close the curtains? Do you notice how many times "11" shows up in this shot? Kubrick's only Simpsons episode is way underrated.

The bigger question is how could they afford the house mortgage on a house with all that space when homers cheque in the bear patrol episode is like, less than $400

"Rubber band reality" Sometimes Homer is in danger of missing the mortgage payment, sometimes he's ready to pull $75,000 out of his wallet

I'm surprised The Simpsons (the cartoon family) have one because I never remember seeing it on the show.

Speaking of the rarely seen room. Remember when they aired the New York episode and gave away a replica of the Simpson house irl? Did anyone ever hear a single word on that house since that night? I remember there was some clause that the demo pics had matching furniture, but none of that would be in there for the winners. It would just be a house with lovely cartoon colors on the walls and stuff. Sometimes I think about this house and wonder about it and it's life beyond those ads in TV Guide or whatever it was that had the pics...

I remember they had little live action segments going into and out of commercial where louie anderson would walk around the house and show you stuff and I remember him opening the medicine cabinet and there was a big glass jar of munchkins that said "prescription donuts" on it and i remember thinking that was the kind of joke someone who didn't actually watch the show would come up with also they painted the house yellow because the simpsons are yellow, i guess? even though the house isn't yellow on the show. the person who lives there now apparently repainted it to be less obnoxious and in doing so actually made it look more accurate Riptor fucked around with this message at 23:41 on Feb 23, 2017 |
