Quote of the Day

Reading Digest: Reluctant (But Pun Free!) Guest Voice Edition
“Damn you, paparazzo!” – C.M. Burns As a general rule, I tend to ignore Zombie Simpsons guest voice news. Almost without exception, the guest voices fade instantly into the indistinguishable morass of forgettable episodes, so I don’t see the point in noting them beforehand. However, and I give her and her publicists a lot credit for this, it’s basically impossible to ignore Lady Gaga. Earlier this week it came out that she’s doing a guest voice on Zombie Simpsons, then the internet exploded, and as a result we have two links about it. (And if I have to read one…
Guest Stars Then & Now
– By Gran2 The plethora of Season 22 guest stars filled me with rage. This show is bad enough already without Danica Patrick, Paul Rudd or Mark ‘Facebook’ Zuckerberg turning up to dig it even closer to Earth’s core. I dreaded hearing Al Jean rattle off next season’s list at Comic-Con (spoilers: It included Michael Cera). The point is: guest stars suck now. The really obscure ones suck because you have no idea who they are, or why they are there (pretty much every guest star from seasons 11 and 12 falls into to this category, or maybe that’s because…
Quote of the Day
Original image yoinked from Wikipedia. “Look at all the wonderful things you have Mr. Burns: King Arthur’s Excalibur, the only existing nude photo of Mark Twain, and that rare first draft of the Constitution with the word ‘suckers’ in it.” – Mr. Smithers
Compare & Contrast: Burns Hosts a Party
“This party is over.” – C.M. Burns Over the years, Zombie Simpsons has gutted a lot of the great characters bequeathed to it by The Simpsons. Moe went from being a bitter bartender running various criminal side businesses to a perpetually lovesick wet blanket. Chief Wiggum used to be a gleefully corrupt and incompetent police chief, now he’s their go-to guy when they want a fat and/or stupid joke and Homer’s already in use. I’m not even sure Patty and Selma are on the show anymore. The less said about what happened to Lenny and Carl the better. Burns hasn’t…
“Gump Roast” Makes Baby Jesus Cry
“Marge, the comedy roast is an American tradition. It’s what gives us the freedom to criticize our social betters. Hey Flanders, you smell like manure!” – Homer Simpson “Uh-oh, better cancel that dinner party tonight. Thanks for the nose news neighbor.” – Ned Flanders This one might set a record for ignoring what’s going on in the episode in favor of unrelated chit chat. (Al Jean even tells another joke, though it’s more of a story.) However, I can’t really blame them, this is a clip show and there just isn’t much here. When they spend two minutes reminiscing about…

Quote of the Day
“Homer. Give him what he wants.” – Barney Gumble “Aw Barney, leave me alone.” – Homer Simpson (door slamming) “Oops.” – Barney Gumble (gunshot) (glass breaking) (woman screaming) (police siren) “Uh oh.” – Barney Gumble
Everyone Loves Ralph Wiggum
“Does either of you know what ‘incontinent’ means?” – Lisa Simpson “Lisa, don’t spoil our fun.” – Homer Simpson Like everything else on the internet, list articles range in quality from very good to very poor to stolen/half-assed. This list of “Ten Of The Most Underrated Simpsons Characters” falls somewhere between very poor and half-assed. Right in the introduction we know we’re in for a bumpy ride: when a huge Simpson fan such as I (one who has primarily enjoyed and/or thoroughly enjoyed even the lamer, lesser seasons and really dug the movie) That is not a good sign. The…
Bonus Quote of the Day
“It’s me sir, Bobo! Hug me, squeeze me, tug at my fur.” – Mr. Smithers “Enough! Stop this grotesque charade. Now find my teddy. Oh, and uh, leave the costume.” – C.M. Burns Happy birthday Harry Shearer!
Quote of the Day
“Have you been up all night eating cheese?” – Marge Simpson “I think I’m blind.” – Homer Simpson
Quote of the Day
“You’ve got to start selling this for more than a dollar a bag. We lost four more men on this expedition.” – Ice Miner “If you can think of a better way to get ice, I’d like to hear it.” – Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Friday Link Dump – Bare Assed Edition
“I’ll never wiggle my bare butt in public again.” – Homer Simpson “I’d like to believe that this time, I really would.” – Lisa Simpson“ There are fewer links than usual this week. Is it because schools are letting out for the summer and people are going on vacation? I have no idea. We did get one case of excellent usage though, plus some pointless nudity. Memorable moon men – Notable celebrity moonings, including Mel Gibson in Braveheart and Bart to the Australians. No mention of Dr. Cheeks, Richard Nixon or Homer’s cheeky impression of Mr. Burns. New showrunners walk the…
Friday Link Dump – Barney and Ecstasy Edition
“I can see why this is so popular.” – Homer Simpson Meet Zaky, the purple bear with a message of tolerance – Zaky is a Barney clone, only he’s a bear instead of a dinosaur and his original target audience was Australian Muslims. Now he’s going global: Zaky’s creator, Sydney film producer Subhi Alshaik, describes the mild-mannered cartoon character as “the opposite of Bart Simpson” who teaches “good, ethical, moral messages”. I would not have guessed that the opposite of Bart Simpson was a purple bear, but what do I know? Lunch Break: Jon Stewart’s 1994 Interview With Conan O’Brien –…
