Synergy Doesn’t Learn From Its Mistakes

Then we’ll get married, once the first baby comes along she’s bound to settle down and start treating me right. After all, I deserve it.” – Bart Simpson This week’s edition of IGN’s “corporate fanboy” writing was a mixed bag of praise and criticism. (It still scored a 7.3, of course.) The most direct criticism is of Sacha Baron Cohen and the way this episode didn’t live up…

“Do you have ‘Go, Dog, Go’?” – Ralph Wiggum (scoffs) “That’s in juvenile. This is young adult.” – Boy in Library “Well-read and just a little wild. Oh, if only someone could tame him.” – Lisa Simpson

Crazy Noises: Marge Be Not Proud
“I don’t think we should hang out together anymore. You’re turning me into a criminal when all I want to be is a petty thug.” – Bart Simpson As part of our efforts to bring you only the finest in low class, low brow, and low tech internet Simpsons commentary we’re applying our “Crazy Noises” series to “Marge Be Not Proud”, the “One Bad Episode” our Manifesto has in Season 7. 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 so cool. This text…
Alliteration and foreshadowing
Another Wednesday, another sight gag. Other evil women with names starting in “J” not mentioned on the sign: Jessica Lovejoy.
Friday Link Dump – Scotland and Nitpicking Edition
“Now the kilt was only for day to day wear. In battle, we donned a full length ball gown covered in sequins. The idea was to blind your opponent with luxury.” – Groundskeeper Willie There’s one example of great usage this week and then several that need help (though I probably over did it). Also there’s a history of homosexual characters on television, video game legalese, a new non-Simpsons blog with a Simpsons title and two posts about Scotland. Out an On Air – A history of gay and lesbian portrayals on television that mentions The Simpsons but doesn’t mention Smithers.…
Synergy Admits Past Relationships
“Must . . . fight . . . Satan, make it . . . up to him . . . later.” – Bart Simpson When even your own corporate internet shill has to mention no fewer than five previous episodes in reviewing your latest installment, it might be time to re-evaluate things. And he went easy, I added a sixth amongst my usual corrections for accuracy and honesty. Enjoy. April 20, 2009 – A lot of the basic ideas found in “The Good, the Sad and the Drugly” have been mined before done better in previous episodes of The Simpsons.…
Just Another Telling Example
“I hate the sea, and everything in it.” – Captain McAllister Two weeks after Moe acted way out of character to land a woman, we get the same thing from Bart. He displayed an hitherto unknown amount of confidence and skill at flirting with a girl who, despite the fact that she also attends Springfield Elementary, he has never seen before. The obvious comparison here is “Bart’s Girlfriend” from Season 6 and there is a specific aspect I’d like to point out. Twice last night, Bart looked at “Jenny” and saw her outlined in a halo of light complete…
Getting Out of Hand
“I’m in television now. It’s my job to be repetitive. My job. My job. Repetitiveness is my job.” – Bart Simpson Simpsons Channel has a post up with the promo image for April 19th’s Zombie Simpsons, titled “The Good, the Sad and the Drugly”. Here’s the plot description: To win the heart of Jenny (guest voice Anne Hathaway) a sweet 5th grade girl, Bart becomes a good samaritan and gives up his prank-pulling days Given the presence of the perfectly cromulent word “drugly” in the title I’m gonna guess that this girl might have a lesson or two to teach…
