We’ve now gotten through a little more than half of Season 11 on Crazy Noises, and it’s inspired quite a few comments along the lines of “this is when I knew the show was dead”. Most notably, a couple of weeks ago commenter Dan S. just went ahead and asked: I’m curious to know how all of you felt about season 10 and 11 when they first aired. Looking at them today it is unmistakable that the quality had declined horribly, but at the time of first airing when I was in eighth grade I don’t remember talking about how…

Quote of the Day
“When cat burglaries start, can mass murders be far behind? This reporter isn’t saying that the burglar is an inhuman monster like the Wolfman, but he very well could be. So, professor, would you say it’s time for everyone to panic?” – Kent Brockman “Yes I would, Kent.” – Professor
Nobody Cares About Reading
“Okay, we’ve got the secret vigilante handshake, now we need codenames. I’ll be Cue Ball, Skinner can be Eight Ball, Barney will be Twelve Ball, and, Moe, you can be Cue Ball.” – Homer Simpson “You’re an idiot.” – Moe The last two episodes of Zombie Simpsons have seen the entire opening, couch gag and all, dropped completely. They’ve also featured Matt Selman’s name before Al Jean’s in the customary spot for the show runner. Not coincidentally, the last two episodes have also seen the show impressively manage to get even further away from what once made it great. At…

Quote of the Day
“Oh, sorry folks, gee I really hate to spoil this little love-in. But Mr. Malloy broke the law, and when you break the law you gotta go to jail.” – Chief Wiggum “Ah, that reminds me, here’s your monthly kickback.” – Mayor Quimby “You just, you couldn’t have picked a worse time.” – Chief Wiggum
“Poppa’s Got a Brand New Badge” Makes Baby Jesus Cry
“Dad, don’t you see you’re abusing your power like all vigilantes? I mean, if you’re the police, who will police the police?” – Lisa Simpson “I dunno, Coast Guard?” – Homer Simpson Oh, Joe Mantegna, I wish you were on every commentary. In case you’ve forgotten, in this episode Homer becomes the police force for Springfield and then Fat Tony tries to assassinate him, and then Maggie shots Fat Tony, and then it ends. If that sounds like a weak mashup of “Homer the Vigilante” and “The Twisted World of Marge Simpson” with a dash of “Who Shot Mr. Burns,…

Idiot to Continue Poisoning Liver with Simpsons Episodes
“Asleep at the switch! I wasn’t asleep, I was drunk!” – Homer Simpson Counting last night’s, there’s been a new Zombie Simpsons for five consecutive weeks. There are two more weeks to go before the season ends. It’s the longest streak of new episodes since I started watching Zombie Simpsons when we began this blog last year, and it’s getting to me. Fortunately, there’s a sure fire pick me up. It’s time for another Simpsons-Beer marathon. Just like last time I’ve put a poll at right. Since I already did Season 5, I’ve replaced it in the poll with Season…

XKCD #386 Quoting and referencing The Simpsons – a lot – is part and parcel of being a Simpsons fan. Since I’m an asshole, I love excellent or appropriate usage and loathe poor or inappropriate usage. (Though I’ll admit that I’m frequently guilty of the latter.) Today during my daily perusing of the internet I came across this from The United Church Observer: Aw, people can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent. Forty percent of all people know that.” This is a citation that frequently gets screwed up. Can you spot the error? Let’s try another example; this one is…
