“Alright, are you willing to go undercover to nail this creep?” – Kent Brockman “No way, man! No way, man! Get yourself another patsy, man! No way am I wearing a freakin’ wire!” – Homer Simpson “Alright alright alright, would you be willing to wear a hidden camera and microphone?” – Kent Brockman “Oh, that I’ll wear.” – Homer Simpson In our ongoing mission to bring you only the shallowest and laziest analysis of Zombie Simpsons, we’re keeping up our Crazy Noises series for Season 22.

Crazy Noises: The Fight Before Christmas
“I’m Lisa, peppy, blonde and stunning, sophomore prom queen five years running!” – “Lisa” In our ongoing mission to bring you only the shallowest and laziest analysis of Zombie Simpsons, we’re keeping up our Crazy Noises series for Season 22. Since a podcast is so 2004, and video would require a flag, a fern and some folding chairs from the garage, we’ve elected to use the technology that brought the word “emoticon” to the masses: the chatroom. Star Trek image macros are strictly forbidden, unless you have a really good reason why Captain Picard is better than Captain Kirk. This…
Crazy Noises: How Munched Is That Birdie in the Window
“Uh, the devil with his fly open.” – Homer Simpson “Right.” – Psychiatrist “Uh, that’s a spill on the floor with bugs going after it.

Crazy Noises: Treehouse of Horror XXI
“And now, our parody of ‘Mad About You’, entitled ‘Mad About Shoe’! Gimme a kiss baby, no tongue, ha ha! . . . Ohh, you’re not going to like our ‘NYPD Shoe’ sketch. It’s pretty much the same thing.” – Krusty the Klown In our ongoing mission to bring you only the shallowest and laziest analysis of Zombie Simpsons, we’re keeping up our Crazy Noises series for Season 22.

Crazy Noises: MoneyBART
"Hey Scioscia, I don’t get it. You’re a ringer, but you’re here every night in the core busting your butt hauling radioactive waste." – Carl "Well, Carl, it’s such a relief from the pressures of playing big league ball. I mean, there you make any kind of mistake and boom, the press is all over you. Uh oh." – Mike Scioscia “Ah, don’t worry about it.” – Carl “Oh man, is this ever sweet.” – Mike Scioscia I’m very ready to be done with this episode. Unlike most Zombie Simpsons episodes this one will end up being memorable. Not because…
Crazy Noises: Loan-a-Lisa
Original concept art for Itchy & Scratchy “Up” parody in “Loan-a-Lisa”. The Itchy & Scratchy bit at the beginning of “Loan-a-Lisa” was, to put it mildly, creatively bankrupt. It starts by spending forty-five seconds re-enacting “Up” with nary a joke in sight; that would be bad enough, but Zombie Simpsons then makes things even worse. Instead of ending with some kind of “Up” inspired violence (a balloon house falling on them, a giant blimp attack, a pack of remotely controlled dogs tearing them to pieces) it ends by repeating not one, not two, but three (3) scenes from previous Itchy…
Crazy Noises: Elementary School Musical
“Now, Miss Simpson, I hope we won’t have a repeat of yesterday’s outburst of unbridled creativity.” – Mr. Largo “No, sir.” – Lisa Simpson There are two horrible, glaring problems with this episode that we didn’t cover at all in the discussion below. The first is that while the Conchords provide what little levity this episode has, they also make no sense, and that’s before they fly off the roof at the end. (Lucy Lawless did that, let me check, eleven seasons ago . . . in a Halloween episode. Bravo for originality.) The idea is that they’re poor artists,…
Crazy Noises: The Principal and the Pauper
“Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Capital City’s nakedest ladies. They’re not even wearing a smile. Nod suggestively. Yes, six, count ’em, six gorgeous ladies just dying for your leers and catcalls. Yowza. Yowza.” – Whatever the Hell His Name Is In This Episode There’s new Zombie Simpsons Sunday, so this is the last of our summer series overthinking Season 9. Why Season 9? Because we did Season 8 last summer, and Season 9 was when the show started becoming more Zombie than Simpsons.

“Gentlemen, I’m pleased to report strong holiday sales from the Christmas-Hanu-Kwanza spend phase, and things look good for the Mom-Dad-Grad gift corridor.

Crazy Noises: Lisa the Skeptic
“Miss Simpson, how can you maintain your skepticism in spite of the fact that this thing really, really looks like an angel?” – Kent Brockman “I just think it’s a fantasy. If you believe in angels, then why not unicorns or sea monsters or leprechauns?” – Lisa Simpson “Oh, that’s a bunch of baloney, Lisa, everyone knows leprechauns are extinct!” – Kent Brockman There’s no new Zombie Simpsons until September, so we’re going to spend the summer overthinking Season 9.
