Reading Digest: President Wolfcastle Edition
“Welcome back to Before They Were Famous. We all know Ranier Wolfcastle as the star of the blockbuster McBain movies, but here’s his first appearance in a commercial in his native Austria.” – Before They Were Famous Host “Mein bratwurst has a first name, it’s F-R-I-T-Z. Mine bratwurst has a second name it’s S-C-H-N-A-C-K-E-N-P-F-E-F-F-E-R-H-A-U-S-E-N.” – Ranier Wolfcastle We’ve got two links about President Schwarzenegger in the movie this week. Those were some of the best parts, but to this day it remains a mark of how timidly they made the thing that they didn’t have him named President Wolfcastle. Did someone really think that people – who are paying to see a damn Simpsons movie – wouldn’t understand who the giant dude with the Austrian accent was? Weird. In addition to that we’ve got a FOX promotional video that is funny both intentionally and unintentionally, more about Bartkira, a video game video, more Simpsons college mascots, an unusual comparison of Edgar Allen Poe and the show, and someone who specifically agrees with us. Enjoy. (Today is also the release of issue #3 at the spinoff site. Lotta good articles about television this time: Community, Bates Motel, and House of Cards all get looked at, and our cover image is an exclusive peek at Game of Thrones as it appeared in 1635.) A Day in the Life with Yeardley Smith – This is a promotional YouTube video put out by FOX: A few fun things: They had to blur out the Toyota logo on Smith’s steering wheel, you know, in case the world thought Toyota paid for this or something. Is that a Windows XP screen saver in the writers room? Nice. Jean’s deadpan delivery is excellent. Matt Selman, funny guy: “We try not to do cliches on the Simpsons”. Ha! Good one, Matt! Yeardley Smith, actually funny: “This is my office, where some days I just feel like I’m pretending.” Akira-Meets-The-Simpsons Gets a Full Cast. It Might Surprise You. – The cast of the Simpsons-Akira thing from last week laid out in convenient graphical form. ‘The Simpsons’ voice actor Harry Shearer talks at Loyola April 8 – If you’re in New Orleans, this’ll probably be fun: Harry Shearer, the legendary bassist in the 1984 rock and roll mockumentary “This is Spinal Tap” and the voice of more than 20 characters on the hit animated sitcom “The Simpsons,” will discuss the evolution of his career at a forum at Loyola University New Orleans Monday, April 8 at 5 p.m. […] the forum will feature clips from Shearer’s iconic television and film performances, including “This is Spinal Tap,” “Saturday Night Live” and “A Mighty Wind.” The event will also include never before seen footage from “Unwigged and Unplugged,” the 25th anniversary Spinal Tap concert tour film that was produced and directed by Gabour. Every Videogame from The Simpsons – This is a College Humor video that charts video games in the show. (Though it doesn’t actually have “Every” one.) It’s amusing on…

Crazy Noises: Treehouse of Horror XXI
“And now, our parody of ‘Mad About You’, entitled ‘Mad About Shoe’! Gimme a kiss baby, no tongue, ha ha! . . . Ohh, you’re not going to like our ‘NYPD Shoe’ sketch. It’s pretty much the same thing.” – Krusty the Klown In our ongoing mission to bring you only the shallowest and laziest analysis of Zombie Simpsons, we’re keeping up our Crazy Noises series for Season 22. Since a podcast is so 2004, and video would require a flag, a fern and some folding chairs from the garage, we’ve elected to use the technology that brought the word “emoticon” to the masses: the chatroom. Star Trek image macros are strictly forbidden, unless you have a really good reason why Captain Picard is better than Captain Kirk. This text has been edited for clarity and spelling (surprisingly enough, not on “Jumanji”). This episode consisted of half assed Simpsonizations of four other shows/movies: The Office, Jumanji, Dead Calm, and Twilight. In the hands of people who cared in the least about jokes, pacing or comedy that wouldn’t be a problem. In the hands of Zombie Simpsons it was a disaster from start to finish, laden with tensionless action sequences, bizarre non sequiturs (even within single scenes), and enough limp, toothless pop culture “references” to fill one of those wretched spoof movies. Note: Dave couldn’t join us this week, so this is shorter and even less insightful than usual. Charlie Sweatpants: Shall we get started? Mad Jon: Ok then Do you remember a time when THOH weren’t just parodies of movies? Or when they were parodies, at least they were of things that were topical? Charlie Sweatpants: I don’t think any of this rose to the level of parody. Mad Jon: “Jumanji” was like 25 years ago. And “Twilight” is several years old as well. Charlie Sweatpants: Enh. That doesn’t bother me so much as the fact that they weren’t doing much to make fun of anything. Mad Jon: That is true. Most of the attempted jokes were 20-30 seconds of repetitive action Charlie Sweatpants: The board game titles were mildly clever, but then they spent the rest of the segment doing terrible – and terribly long and repetitive – physical "comedy". The joke where Wiggum got crushed would’ve been okay if it hadn’t gone on about five times longer than it should have. The chutes and ladders thing, I was actually embarrassed for them. Mad Jon: Like Homer’s walk, or Harry Potter/Edward’s stopping moving vehicles, which I assume was part of that movie which I never saw. Charlie Sweatpants: Yeah, the glorified goth kid stops a car from hitting the girl with no personality. The movie was terrible, but I watched it with weed and Rifftrax, so I had an okay time. Mad Jon: Sounds like fun. Charlie Sweatpants: But there was no need for it to keep happening like that. Though for sheer boredom the end of the segment was worse. The vampire neighborhood was just…
