I feel like this joke might have set the precedent for the horrible Zombie Simpsons running “gag” where Homer is not only actively opposed to donating to charity, but takes some sort of perverse psychopathic joy in knowing that people in need of help will continue to suffer because of it. The ZS writers have clearly missed the point yet again – Homer isn’t happy because he won’t have to give to charity, he’s happy because he won’t have to go to work. He doesn’t think long-term about what that means, all he knows is it’ll be awesome to work from home.
Just another example of flanderisation really – where they take a trait and exaggerate it, dumbing down the character in the process.
“Flandersitaion”? Really?
Yep. Take a look on TV Tropes.
I’d prefer to never, ever have to do that.
It’s not so bad, I find it quite entertaining so long as you ignore how definitively everything’s phrased. I treat it as a Wikipedia of received wisdom, and to that end it’s quite good.
Yeah. More like a couch potato’s Urban Dictionary =)
That’s a great site.
And Bart’s line sets precedent for a character telling us again what the plot of the episode is.
1 line to recap plot after an ad break is pretty efficient, to be fair.
For Stan;
Not my style.
Sigh. Firelake has a few other great songs in Russian. The one above was beautiful, haunting like Amy Lee/Evanescence.
Yeah, I’ve never been a fan of Evanescence either. I’m more into indie/post-rock experience.
A few female friends are the Amy Lee types: Short, raven black hair and of Italian ancestry, they look strikingly like Amy ^_^
Italian chicks are generally my choice. Italian, Greek or dark Romanian. Hate completely white blondes.
