“Hey Mom, did he have those spots all over his body?” – Bart Simpson “I heard that!” – C.M. Burns One of the few genuinely interesting things I learned while tormenting myself with the Season 12 commentaries was that Zombie Simpsons isn’t allowed to show ass crack. (Of course, The Simpsons was so fond of cartoon nudity that they had enough for an entire ending credits montage of it by the middle of Season 7.) Now, all shows labor under some burden of censorship, that’s just the way of the world. But Zombie Simpsons doesn’t even try to get clever…

Crazy Noises: American History X-cellent
“Don’t worry honey, I’m sure your father is . . .” – Marge Simpson “Maybe . . . No . . . That’s a long shot . . . Bingo.” – Marge’s Brain “Don’t worry, he’ll be here.” – Marge Simpson In our continuing mission to bring you only the finest in low class, low brow, and low tech internet Simpsons commentary we’re bringing back our “Crazy Noises” series and applying it to Season 21. Because doing a podcast smacks of effort we’re still using this “chatroom” thing that all the middle schoolers and undercover cops seem to think is…
Synergy Sees What It Wants to See
One of these is not like the others. “Wait, I’m confused about the movie. So the cops knew that internal affairs was setting them up?” – Homer Simpson “What are you talking about? There’s nothing like that in there.” – Movementarian Guy “Oh, you see when I get bored I make up my own movie. I have a very short attention span.” – Homer Simpson This week, IGN pulled its usual stunt of disparaging Zombie Simpsons while still giving it a ridiculously high numerical score (6.9). I had to make a surprisingly small number of changes to edit out the…
Security at Burns Manor Has Really Gotten Lax
“Going somewhere?” – C.M. Burns “That’s impossible! How did you get here first?” – Bart Simpson “Oh, there’ll be plenty of time for explanations later.” – C.M. Burns Zombie Simpsons Writer #1: Have we ever had Smithers take over the power plant? [10 second pause] Zombie Simpsons Writer #2: I don’t think so. ZSW#1: How do we get rid of Burns? [20 second pause] ZSW#2: Could we send him to prison? ZSW#1: Why not? How do we get him out of prison? ZSW#2: What if Homer broke in to prison? ZSW#1: That’s stupid- [Intern pokes head in door] Intern: Lunch…
Sunday Preview: “American History X-Cellent”
After a blissful two-week reprieve, tonight we have fresh Zombie Simpsons to endure. This one’s called “American History X-Cellent,” a not-so-subtle twist on the feisty romp from 1998 that was “American History X.” While I don’t expect any scenes of graphic curb-stomping, I do expect that tonight’s episode will be equally difficult to watch. Here’s the lowdown from our friends at Simpsons Channel: When the police are called to diffuse a rowdy crowd at Mr. Burns’ estate, one of the officers recognizes priceless stolen paintings on the walls, and the maniacal billionaire is taken downtown for questioning. With Mr. Burns…
