“Oh, not my Paris backdrop! How am I gonna make fun of the Frogs?” – Krusty the Klown At some point the “destination” episodes of Zombie Simpsons became little more than excuses to have Homer and Bart act out in front of famous landmarks or generic “travel” backdrops. Why yes, Bart brought his skateboard to the Wailing Wall (and got into a pointless chase/fight sequence); why yes, Homer took a nap in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre; and they both goofed around in David’s Tomb. Did they make it to the Dead Sea and the Dome of the Rock? …

A Fact About Zombie Simpsons
“Kids, Itchy & Scratchy can’t be here today, but instead we’ve got the next best thing! It’s the Stingy and Battery show!” – Krusty the Clown Simpsons Wikia has a great page where they list all of the Itchy & Scratchy episodes. Helpfully, there’s even a table that lists the title of the Itchy & Scratchy episode next to the title of the Simpsons episode in which it appears. Even more helpfully, the table lists which season each episode is from and you can sort by season. This means we can easily and quickly see when and where Itchy &…

Synergy Fakes an Orgasm
“Hey everybody, I’m gonna haul ass to Lollapalooza!” – Abe “Grandpa” Simpson This week’s IGN Zombie Simpsons fellatio is an exercise in sloppily faked enthusiasm. Lisa’s teacher is Miss Hoover, not Mrs. Hoover (part of the fun of Ms. Hoover is that she very much wants to be Mrs. Somebody and isn’t). Then there’s “science water”, which very pointedly isn’t capitalized in the episode but is in the review. There are also a couple of basic editing errors. If you’re going to pretend to enjoy something you’ve got to pay attention to the details or else your paramour/meal ticket might become…
Friday Link Dump – Canadian Underwear Edition
“Free and easy Lis, ahh. There’s nothing like an unfurnished basement for pure comfort.” – Bart Simpson Mentioning unmentionables – It’s meandering, it’s about underwear, and he flubs the quote slightly; still, that’s pretty good usage. The Simpsons Sundays 8PM – Mmmm, that’s some top notch synergy from Fox’s Toledo, OH affiliate. ER Ends Its 15-year Run on TV. Good Riddance – It’s always pleasing when shows that haven’t been relevant for a long time finally turn out the lights. Plus he mentions Zombie Simpsons. Humane Society of the United States presents 23rd Genesis Awards – Zombie Simpsons won for…
Simpsons vs. Zombie Simpsons
The above is a perfect example of the difference between Simpsons and Zombie Simpsons. That is a screen grab from Season 7’s “Sideshow Bob’s Last Gleaming”. Bart and Lisa are in the airbase and the gate is closed; Homer and Marge are trying to get inside. The shot pans down from the top of a razor wire fence and all we see is Marge bandaging Homer’s hands while he says, “Okay, so we can’t go over the fence.” That’s it. The whole thing takes four seconds, we know exactly what Homer did, and all we need to see is the…
