I want to say that the joke with that Krusty clip was supposed to be about how Krusty's programming is lazy, crass, and offensive, but somehow that got lost in translation and the jokes ended up being played straight. More than likely t
That is not the case! The international Krustys are acclaimed and turn out to be far more popular than the original Krusty, who they come to resent for taking 75% of their profits. I assure ya that there is no missing context to that clip and it is not unintentionally terrible. It is earnestly poo poo.

Ned Flanders returns to his job in pharmaceuticals, but after being out of the game for so long he can only find a spot as a test subject for a new drug that cures people of left-handedness.

Flanders doesn't realize what is happening to him at first, but as his left-handed nature begins to give way to gradual ambidextrous manipulations and finally full on right-handedness, he finds himself becoming popular and successful and fitting in with everyone because he seems so normal now signing his name on credit card receipts with his right hand.

Then he discovers that the company's drug is doing this to him with the ultimate goal making selling it to schools to force to allow teacher to teach nothing but right-handed students.

"No! The Good Lord made me a southpaw, and I'll be hecked if I let someone tell me that I can't live my life that way and that I need to change for the comfort of other people!"
"Mr. Flanders, I hope you see the hypocrisy in your sudden realization."
"I surely-diddly-do, Lisa! I can't run a left-handed store as a righty! The scandal!"
"No, I meant your conservative belief system that similarly tries to enf--"
"No time to talk, Lisa! I have to get to the drug company as soon as possible and see if they can undo this perversion they've inflicted upon me! Homer... I'm going to that drug company, and things might get ugly."
(*Flanders opens up a gun case with a matching set of right and left handed revolvers and pulls them out to admire them in his hands for a moment.*)
"I don't know if I'll coming back..."
(*reaction shot of everyone looking shocked*)
"...a righty or a lefty..."
(*Flanders puts guns back in case, reaction shot of everyone at ease*)

Burns Before Reading: The Springfield Public Library has revealed they have a list of all the overdue books in their collection that are owed late fees. Marge as a volunteer is assigned to go to door to door to collect the books or replacement fees from cardholders until she gets to Mr. Burns. Burns both refuses to pay for the book and give it back to the library.

Lisa and Marge delve into the history of the book with the library and discover it was a donated book donated by the Burns Estate, itself, nearly 75 years earlier, there are apparently no other copies in existence to replace it with, and decide to make it into a mystery to solve as to what is so important about this one book and Mr. Burns.

Distraught that their inattention during "snuggling" led to Maggie's death, Homer and Marge go on a retreat into the woods to work on their relationship. Homer begins to experience visions of doom, destruction, and witchcraft, while Marge becomes focused on sex and pain, culminating in her crushing Homer's genitals with a rock and burying him alive with a millstone attached to his leg. Guest star: Jim Gaffigan as the "chaos reigns" fox.

Season 78 Premiere: a dust storm causes the emergency solar generator to fail. In response, the computer that generates new episodes begins to enter stand-by mode. In the process of clearing its volatile memory of non mission-critical elements, it inadvertently produces a clip show of highlights from seasons 25-77, although there is no longer an audience capable of watching it. Guest stars: whatever multicellular life managed to survive the Great Unmaking.

Her voice has been breaking in recent seasons. She pretty much sounds like she's doing the grandma's voice. Which sounds weird on a character who's supposed to be in their 30s.

The Simpsons have to move out of their house for the weekend while it's getting fumigated, while staying with the Flanders, bart finds a secret box containing photos of a mysterious part of Ned's past. Meanwhile, Lisa tries to start a protest rally against the latest budget cuts at school. Featuring George Takei.


A prank goes Awry at the school and breaks Principal Skinner's leg. Bart manages to frame his sister and she ends up having to see a school psychiatrist. Instead of proving her brother's guilt, she uses it as an opportunity for some self introspection. Bart feels guilty for injuring Skinner and even worse that nobody comes to visit him. So he tries to hook up the injured principal with.. I dunno.. Booberella or someone he hasn't dated yet. Featuring the Voice of Stephen Fry.

Filmed from the perspective of a small child in a baby carriage, Marge explains to you, the viewer, that she is your Death, and that your Killer in your current life will be your Mother in the next life. She apologizes over and over as she beckons you towards oblivion. You are trapped in a hedonic cycle from which you can never escape, and your consciousness is obliterated. Guest Star: Joanna Newsom as Madame Psychosis.

it's very good. prior to the start of the series, barney and fred were part of an army that wiped out the tree people who originally lived on the land bedrock was founded on. instead of the water buffalo lodge it's a veterans lodge (they wear the same hats).
