Sunday Morning Cartoons

“We worked so hard and now it’s all gone.  We ended up with nothing because the three of us can’t share.” – Bart Simpson “What’s your point?” – Milhouse van Houten “Nothing, just kinda ticks me off.” – Bart Simpson That is how you end an episode between Bart and Milhouse.  Or, if you need them to reconcile, you can have Bart smash open a Magic 8 Ball on Milhouse’s skull, but it’s a sweet moment because he didn’t use the brick, broken bottle or pair of scissors.   Flowers and apologies?  Fuck off, Zombie Simpsons.

If you stop Praising it: The Good, the Sad and the Drugly

I still haven’t watched last Sunday’s Zombie Simpson offering, but according to Charlie Sweatpants I didn’t miss much. And that guy is a straight shooter. Unless theres profit to be had… but since he is a blogger I don’t have to worry about that. Anyway I thought I would peruse the usual fansites to see what the Zombie Legion had to say about it before I sat down for my weekly lobotomy: “I need to see this episode again if I want to give a more in-depth review, but for now, I’ll be generous and give it a 4/5.” –…

Synergy Admits Past Relationships

“Must . . . fight . . . Satan, make it . . . up to him . . . later.” – Bart Simpson When even your own corporate internet shill has to mention no fewer than five previous episodes in reviewing your latest installment, it might be time to re-evaluate things.  And he went easy, I added a sixth amongst my usual corrections for accuracy and honesty.

Just Another Telling Example

“I hate the sea, and everything in it.” – Captain McAllister Two weeks after Moe acted way out of character to land a woman, we get the same thing from Bart.  He displayed an hitherto unknown amount of confidence and skill at flirting with a girl who, despite the fact that she also attends Springfield Elementary, he has never seen before.  The obvious comparison here is “Bart’s Girlfriend” from Season 6 and there is a specific aspect I’d like to point out.   Twice last night, Bart looked at “Jenny” and saw her outlined in a halo of light complete…

Sunday Preview: “The Good, The Sad, and The Drugly”

The lack of a new episode last week was such a tease. Unfortunately, there’s a new Zombie Simpsons on tonight, which guest stars Anne Hathaway as Bart’s object-of-desire Jenny. My memory’s slightly hazy – I tend to block out shit I hate – but this will be at least the fourth celebrity-voiced love interest Bart has had. This is, as Charlie opines, getting out of hand. Anyway, SNPP offers us this description: Bart volunteers at the Springfield Retirement Castle in order to impress a girl, but this leaves Milhouse (who took the rap for a school prank he and Bart…
