“Bart has been guilty of the following atrocities: synthesizing a laxative from peas and carrots, replacing my birth control pills with tic tacs.” – Mrs. Krabappel
Well, that was unpleasant. A few weeks ago Bart was way out of character worrying about his future. This time he’s way out of character worrying about not having a brother. As per usual the nonsensical storyline wasn’t nearly meaty enough to fill the allotted time so there was plenty of clock killing montages (including a star studded dream sequence that was as humorless as it was unbelievably long). What jokes there were tended to be either ripped off or recycled from earlier episodes. That they were done much poorer than in the original goes almost without saying.
The final word here comes from Zombie Simpsons itself. Near the beginning, as Homer was acting even jerkier than usual, an exasperated and disbelieving Lisa simply said, “Really?”. Really.

The bit with Nelson and the birth control pills was particularly terrible. Mercifully, they stopped it before he grew breasts or something, but “it’s funny because female hormones make people irrational and weepy lol”. Also, I thought Marge actually told Homer he wasn’t able to have any more kids because of the power plant – so why does she have the pill? Pissflaps to continuity, I suppose. But anyway, wouldn’t Marge at least be suspicious of finding a DVD full of porn in their player? Or suspicious of Bart being able to cook them gourmet food? Wouldn’t someone at some point have said something before the pills went out of the window?
Also, the South Park homage was odd. The dream about brothers was clearly just an excuse to shoehorn some guest voices in there. Homer is a global warming denier this week, about standard for Homer now, I feel. Other than that, I can’t be bothered commenting on the rest.

I think a far better take on the same sort of gag was done years ago in “Brother’s Little Helper,” when Martin mentioned taking hormones to lower his voice (which also made him want to fight people).
