“Homer, young people learn about love from adults, and we’ve been setting a terrible example for our children and the community in general. I want us to deal with the issues raised by this book.” – Marge Simpson “Hmm.” – Homer Simpson “I knew we shouldn’t have put a fireplace in the bedroom.” – Marge Simpson

Makeup Quote of the Day
“Wake up!” – Marge Simpson “Marge, it’s 3am and I worked all day.” – Homer Simpson “It’s 9:30pm and you spent your whole Saturday drinking beer in Maggie’s kiddie pool.” – Marge Simpson
Quote of the Day
“So if you kind of mentally snip out the part where I already had a husband, that’s my idea of romance.” – Marge Simpson
Quote of the Day
“That doesn’t seem like a happy ending. That seems more like a detached tale of modern alienation.” – Lisa Simpson
Quote of the Day
“Does anyone else have a love story?” – Marge Simpson “Yes, I do. And, just like your love stories, it’s tragic and filled with hurt feelings and scars that will never heal.” – Lisa Simpson
Quote of the Day
“I give up. Did anybody learn anything about love tonight?” – Marge Simpson “We learned it screws everybody up.” – Bart Simpson “There’s that side of it.” – Marge Simpson
Diatribe of a Mad Housewife Makes Baby Jesus Cry
“This romance is so full of heartfelt passion. I can really identify with this corn fed heroine.” – Marge Simpson At this point, Zombie Simpsons commentaries are a known quantity: there will be compliments on the animation, lots of digressions and tangents, and Al Jean will swoop in to rescue the conversation every time the rest of them just give up and go silent. This one is no different. Marge writes a novel, Homer gets a new job, and there are a lot of guest stars, a couple of which Jean forgets about. An even ten guys on this one:…
Getting Colder
“It was an unusually warm February 14th, so the children walked home without jackets.” – Lisa Simpson In all its manic motion – to Europe!, to camp!, to Not Brooklyn! – Zombie Simpsons never stops to develop a character, tell a story or, heaven forbid, make sense from one scene to the next. To take just one example, Lisa rides her bike to hang out with the Conchords in what she imagines is their cool artist abode. She’s wearing just her usual red dress. Once she gets inside, they have her shiver and complain that it’s cold (because they have…
Just Nitpicking
“Wait, that did end in heartbreak. Thanks for opening up old wounds, Mom.” – Bart Simpson The irrelevant and drawn out couch gag is a good indication of the lack of comedy invention within. The comedic growth of this show cannot even be charted. It is treading water in a sea of recycled plots and derivative montages. The numbers continue to be awful, with this week’s shit sandwich watched by only 5.69 million people. That’s not as bad as last week, but it’s still the fourth lowest number ever. Unfortunately it’s looking more and more likely that Season 21 will…
An Unmitigated Crime Against Storytelling
“What happened to Mindy?” – Bart Simpson “Yes, what did happen to her?” – Marge Simpson “Enh, she hit the bottle pretty hard and lost her job.” – Homer Simpson “Hm, good.” – Marge Simpson I am not a big fan of Season 12’s “Trilogy of Error”. (In case you’ve blocked it out that’s the one where Lisa invents the robot, Homer gets his thumb cut off and three different stories all unfold at once.) But I do recognize that it took a lot of skill to weave three stories together like that. Getting all those little elements to drop…
Quote of the Day
“Marge, I want you to stop seeing this ‘Jacques.’ You can let him down gently, but over the next couple of months I want you to break it off.” – Homer Simpson “Um, okay Homer.” – Marge Simpson “Whew, that was a close one kids.” – Homer Simpson
Sunday Preview: Auto-fellatio and Curling Edition
“How many times can you laugh at that cat getting hit by the moon?” – Marge Simpson “It’s a new episode.” – Bart Simpson “Not exactly… they pieced it together from old shows, but it seems new to the trusting eyes of impressionable youth.” – Lisa Simpson Guess what? We’re only 54 days away from the premier of Season 21 and there’s already news of an episode of Zombie Simpsons that will coincide with next year’s Winter Olympics. For the uninitiated, the 2010 games will be taking place somewhere in Canada, also known as America Junior (or America’s hat, if…
Quote of the Day
“Mom, romance is dead. It was acquired in a hostile takeover by Hallmark and Disney, homogenized, and sold off, piece by piece.” – Lisa Simpson Image used under CreativeCommons license from Flicker user Amanda M Hatfield. Happy Birthday Yeardley Smith!
