“We had a story to go with this painting, but it was far too intense, so we just threw something together with vampires. Enjoy.” – Bart Simpson Zombie Simpsons has a well deserved reputation for massively over-relying on physical comedy. When they’re completely out of ideas, which is often, they’ll just find ways to cause Homer and/or Bart a lot of pain. In this episode, Homer stuck his head into a flaming jack-o-lantern, was run over by a lawnmower, repeatedly fell down, was eaten by a shark, bitten by vampires, fell off a bell tower, and then hauled off by…

It also gives me the right – no, the duty – to make a complete ass of myself.” – Homer Simpson Happy 20th anniversary to “Dancin’ Homer”! Original airdate 8 November 1990.

“Ah, I’m just a big, toasty cinnamon bun. I never want to leave this bed. Uh oh, gotta take a whiz. Think man, think. Think, think, think . . . I better get up.” – Homer Simpson

“You have joined the sacred order of the Stonecutters, who since ancient times have split the rocks of ignorance that obscure the light of knowledge and truth. Now let’s all get drunk and play ping pong!” – Number One The conspiracy loons are shitting themselves in their various dark corners of the internet this week because of that idiotic video I mentioned last night. This week, we’ve got two more equally nutty links related to it, and it’s picking up steam. As of this writing, the video has ninety thousand views on YouTube, it was at fifty-four thousand when I…

Conspiracy Nuts Think Zombie Simpsons Predicts Nuclear Holocaust on Saturday
“Scary, no? And this guy’s head of the Spaceology Department at the Correspondence College of Tampa!” – Bart Simpson Ladies and gentlemen, hold on to your tinfoil hats, because YouTube user “truthwillfindyoubru” is about to avert a nuclear holocaust this Saturday! I found it on a blog called “2012 THE AWAKENING”, the url of which is “ascendingstarseed”, so you know this is completely legitimate and above board. Feast your Stonecutter-Illuminati-Black Ops-Freemason-Cult of Darius-CIA/MI6/007 eyes on this: Or, you know, don’t. Really. Don’t. But I did, all ten minutes and forty-four idiotic seconds of it. The basic premise here is that…

“Homer, is this the way you pictured married life?” – Marge Simpson “Yeah, pretty much, except we drove around in a van solving mysteries.” – Homer Simpson
“The Sweetest Apu” Makes Baby Jesus Cry
“But first we have a special guest: Rainer Wolfcastle, star of the reprehensible McBain movies.” – Jay Sherman I have very little memory of this episode. Turns out that’s a good thing, because it’s bad. And since the commentators didn’t bother to comment on it much, I’m not going to either. I will say that, unlike most of the times they just completely ignore the episode, this one could have been very entertaining. Unfortunately, I’m not a big fan of Inside the Actors Studio. If I were, I would have found this fascinating. There’s a lot of information from Lipton…

“They’re both losers. Losers!” – Homer Simpson “Ripoff!” – Abe “Grampa” Simpson “We paid for blood!” – Hans Moleman
“Little Girl in the Big Ten” Makes Baby Jesus Cry
“It was naive of you to think I would mistake this town’s most prominent one-hundred-four year old man for one of my elementary school students.” – Principal Skinner This is yet another of those Season 13 episodes that epitomizes the vapid hyperactivity of Zombie Simpsons. After becoming an accomplished gymnast in the span of about thirty seconds, Lisa accidentally befriends some college students who think she’s one of them. Yes, this is a massively stupid teevee trope (especially when it’s used seriously like this); no, the writers do not care. Don’t worry though, worse things are coming. You see, Bart…

Halloween Hangover
“Could you please take in your jack-o-lanterns from past Halloweens.” – Mrs. Winfield Halloween has come and gone, and all across America jack-o-lanterns are slowly decaying before their inevitable trip to the garbage dump or compost heap. (As I type this, two of them are sitting on my front steps, likely being nibbled at by squirrels.) Of course, no Halloween would be complete without some Treehouse of Horror, and we here at the Dead Homer Society aren’t the only ones who think so. First up is this excellent rundown of the best and worst Simpsons Halloween segments that our old…

Reading Digest: “The Raven” Edition
“Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!” – Homer Simpson This week we’ve got four different links mentioning the final segment of “Treehouse of Horror”. Some people are mentioning it as part of television history, other’s are using it for lesser purposes like educating children. In addition to that we’ve got some non-IGN synergy, lots of Halloween related YouTube, and a couple of cool Simpsons Halloween costumes. Enjoy. Come along, Bort! – This is Smooth Charlie’s Click of the Week. It’s a fine job, both by Universal Studios for wasting precious retail…

Quote of the Day
“Goody Simpson is entitled to due process.” – Quimby “Okay, here’s how the process works: you sit on the broom and we shove you off the cliff.” – Wiggum “What?” – Goody Simpson “Well, hear me out. If you’re innocent you will fall to an honorable Christian death. If, however, you are the bride of satan, you will surely fly your broom to safety. At that point you will report back here for torture and beheading.” – Wiggum
