I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Ughhh

also like half the replies were pointing out that a way better joke would be if it were the W&W store, and they could have a bit where lisa starts to flip one over and homer slaps it out of her hand like "watch it! we don't have the rights!" etc

and al jean tweets back "yeah, maybe, probably wouldn't work in table read tho"

I wish I was clever enough and witty enough to comment “I think the real joke is in the upper left corner”

I think the actual joke is that homer is covering some on the n to make it look like the m. Even though as people pointed out to him w&w would be much more clever.

Frog Act
Feb 10, 2012



A storm passes over Springfield, and the Simpson family tries to pass it by playing a board game. Suddenly, Lisa spots a tornado that has touched down and sucks up Santa's Little Helper. Homer and Marge leave the children behind to find Santa's Little Helper and are aided by Lenny and Carl. They come across the tornado which nearly sucks everyone up and then traps Homer and Marge inside the intact building of a bank. The police eventually get them out, but Marge is traumatized by the situation. Realizing that the kids do not have proper guardians, she and Homer decide to find someone to pick as the kids' guardian. They try Grandpa, Patty and Selma, Homer's half-brother Herb Powell (who, for reasons unknown, is now poor again), Kirk and Luann Van Houten, and Cletus and Brandine Spuckler, but Homer and Marge reconsider all of them, and eventually rumors spread through Springfield that they are looking for guardians for their children, to which no one else in Springfield wants to take the job.

Homer and Marge decide to search the shoreline for any childless couples and eventually find Mav, a smooth-talking professional surfer. He and his wife Portia, an environmental lawyer, both win the hearts of Bart and Lisa, and the couple agrees to become their guardians under the agreement that they borrow the Simpson children for the weekend. Homer and Marge approve, but after a few weeks spent with each other, they find a family photo of Mav and Portia with their kids and realize that the two are planning to induct them into their family. Marge initially wonders if Mav and Portia are more suitable parents than Homer and she ever were, but Homer reassures her that Bart, Lisa, and Maggie are their children and they are their responsibilities. The two rush over to Mav and Portia's place. Mav and Portia refuse to give up the children, but end up deciding to let them go when the children say that they prefer their parents over them.

Yea that's what I noticed the most too, just zero energy behind the line reads, he's just listing poo poo off.

And also there's no jokes, except for the length of the list itself

It's like Jimi Hendrix's dog. People come up with way more complicated explanations than the writers ever intended. We're so desperate for the show to include multi-layered and subtle jokes that our brains are inventing them on the show's behalf. But they're not there. The gag is that Homer is stealing a person and thinks it's a candy.

And it's weird that he would both pronounce all of the dishes accurately plus have such a sophisticated palate/interest in all of them.

Seems like you should have Lisa encouraging him to be more open minded about culture and using food as the gateway towards that

Alternately maybe the show could just do without a minute and a half montage of Homer sucking off a bunch of sandwiches

All the new "Simpsons go to..." episodes (there are two a seasons), like the celebrity themed episodes, are devoid of satire. Instead of the clever riffing of Homer vs New York, you're basically just looking Al Jean's vacation photos. The Simpsons go to Boston, Lisa falls in love with it because it's bougie af (really? Boston?) and the family decides to permanently move there, until they don't. The Simpsons go to Denmark and the same plot happens.

They just write these episodes by reading Wikipedia and tourism brochures.

Then Lisa sets up lovely jokes by literally reading the setup off of Wikipedia or tourism brochures on the show.

yes. in "a totally fun thing bart will never do again," the simpsons end up on a cruise ship and bart inadvertantly uses the ship's video library to convince everybody that there is a virus overtaking the entire world. the ships descends into anarchy and they sail towards antarctica. eventually the ruse all falls apart and the simpsons are dumped near a penguin research station
