Compare & Contrast: Hey There, Handsome
“Attention, Homer Simpson, you have been promoted. You are now an executive. Take three minutes to say goodbye to your former friends and report to room 503 for reassignment to a better life.” – Mr. Smithers Even in the freewheeling world of animation, where it’s just as easy to send Homer to space as it is to send him to the supermarket, every character on screen has a few well established traits that make them who they are. Burns is evil; Bart is a troublemaker; Barney is a drunk, etcetera. Messing with those traits, like having Burns try not to…

Not content this week to slurp at the company slop bucket merely by pretending to review Zombie Simpsons, IGN has run a series of quotes from Moe. There are eight quotes in total, of which only one is from Zombie Simpsons (it’s from Season 18).

The others are either missing important words or outright mangled. A cursory check of SNPP – SNPP! – would’ve gotten the correct quote in several cases,…
