Holy poo poo I completely forgot about that until you said it.

This joke is the last time I remember The Simpsons making me laugh the way a golden age episode did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_yaGDrNESk&t=11s

Yeah, the low 10s seasons had the odd solid gag, but none hit the heights or layers that the classic seasons did.

Isn’t Old Man Yells At Cloud from a season 12 or 13 episode?

i liked the safari episode "quick! get in the boat! hippos hate water!" Plan Z posted:This joke is the last time I remember The Simpsons making me laugh the way a golden age episode did: minor nitpick here, but this is a good example of a good idea for a joke that's a bit undermined by its set up. homer not recognizing cesar chavez but recognizing cesar romero is a pretty funny concept. EXCEPT that moments earlier, he just asked him "who are you?". it reminds me of the episode with frank grimes' son, with the scene where lisa shows up to reveal that she knew who's been sending homer the threatening letters, and that it was bumblebee man. this was demonstrated by showing the audience...a piece of paper that it was written on that lisa was carrying with her. so many things wrong with that scene. why is it on a piece of paper? does lisa not know who bumblebee man is? would she have forgotten if she hadn't written it down? does no one else in the family know bumblebee man and would they have forgotten as well had lisa not written it down? now, i get it. and i do think it's pretty good idea to have a joke where lisa is not only wrong, but HILARIOUSLY wrong, and using a character that barely has had any screen time in years, but it was a dumb way to go about it. the paper only exists to deliver a joke to the audience. it's not organic, it's not natural and it defies the laws of logic and reason that we'd come to expect from lisa of all people.

Also it’s a not as good version of the bit where Colonel Klink appeared to him because Homer didn’t know who Sir Isaac Newton was

maybe like this: "hey, it's Cesar Romero!" "I am Cesar Chavez." "why do you look like Cesar Romero?" "because you do not know what Cesar Chavez looks like."

I think my favorite similar version of this joke was actually in the Alec Baldwin/Kim Basinger epsiode. "Tell the people, Homer. They have a right to know." "Who are you?" "What do you care? I'm telling you what you want to hear!" Mr Interweb posted:it reminds me of the episode with frank grimes' son, with the scene where lisa shows up to reveal that she knew who's been sending homer the threatening letters, and that it was bumblebee man. this was demonstrated by showing the audience...a piece of paper that it was written on that lisa was carrying with her. so many things wrong with that scene. why is it on a piece of paper? does lisa not know who bumblebee man is? would she have forgotten if she hadn't written it down? does no one else in the family know bumblebee man and would they have forgotten as well had lisa not written it down?

I just caught "Any Given Sundance" on the teevee. Its apparently an S19 episode, but it had some pretty good gags - Homer opening the junk mail ("Doctors without borders? More like doctors without money!" / "a scissors runs through it"), the "los DVDs!" bit, Homer getting bummed out when he finds out the film is a documentary, and the "C H A L M S K I N S" bit. "

COMPAGNIE TOMMY posted:What you said makes less sense than you claim the joke does and from your explanation of how you "get it" I don't think you actually could have produced a better written joke- of all the ones to go after I think this one is actually fine. are you talking about the cesar chavez thing or the bumblebee man one?

Lisa is excited to show that she's figured out who Homer's attacker is so she's made a production out of it by writing down the name on a piece of paper for the big reveal. Then it turns out she thought it was some goofy bit character with no relation whatsoever to the actual attacker. It's funny! I'm not sure what thought process she used to arrive at the conclusion that Bumblebee Man was the would be murderer but at that point you're thinking about it too hard.

The "Lisa tries to grandstand and it backfires" aspect of it is also basically a repeat of a much better joke from the football one.

Was she worried she would forget the name as she was speaking? Did she intend to show it to everyone as she said it? Of course, the real answer is that they really wanted to make that joke, sensicality be damned.

was this before or after the episode where Moe put his solution to the mystery plot in a fancy envelope with a big question mark, but the storyline had already been resolved?
