Ad Hoc Beer Marathon
“Hey, Homer, you busy?” – Lenny “Yes.” – Homer Simpson I used to do these with more preparation, but it’s Saturday, I’m sick and tired of being responsible, and my fridge has a lot of beer in it. May the Lord bless and keep the VLC random play function… The Last Temptation of Homer – Bart’s parking line prank is one of his best. Especially since the punchline is the psychological frailty of the faculty. – Look how bored Burns is when Charlie describes the fake emergency exit. He’s not even mad yet, and he’s always kinda mad. – That…

Behind Us Forever: Lisa With an S
“Dad, why are you singing?” – Lisa Simpson “Tell a lie! Tell a lie!” – Homer’s Brain “Because I have a small roll in a Broadway musical. It’s not much, but it’s a start.” – Homer Simpson “Bravo.” – Homer’s Brain I gave up on this episode halfway through (read more and you’ll see why). The basic idea is that Lisa wants to go to band camp, but Homer loses money in a poker game to Moe’s elderly, ex-Broadway star girlfriend. (I am not making that up.) Said ex-Broadway star comes over to the house and then takes Lisa on…

Reading Digest: Letterman Retires Edition
So David Letterman announced that sometime next year he’s going to hang up his mic and ride off into the talk show sunset. Two years ago, he did a short guest voice for a couch gag on Zombie Simpsons. That video was freaking everywhere this week, so it’s another shorter than usual Reading Digest. (It’s worth pointing out, of course, that the family seeing Letterman on the couch was a repeat of the one above from Season 5, but I digress. Bonus Critic points here.) Beyond that we’ve got some cool fan art of the amateur and professional varieties, some news about…

Reading Digest: Thanks Chicago Edition
Image shamelessly yoinked from Wikipedia “Wow, Capital City, the Windy Apple!” – Mindy Simmons Before we get to this week’s links, I’d like to say thank you to everyone at classic Simpsons trivia in Chicago on Monday at Pizzeria Serio. There was Neil Arsenty and his two man cadre of fanatics, who ran the show and graded our poorly scrawled answers while the rest of us laughed at “Bart’s Friend Falls in Love” and “The PTA Disbands”. There was the nice bartender dude who gave us the list of cheap bottle beer they were trying to get rid of. There…

Reading Digest: Mindy and Marge Edition
“My job is to show you how miserable life would be if you married Mindy instead of Marge.” – Colonel Klink I’m not sure if the tag feature on WordPress was on the fritz again or what, but there weren’t many Simpsons links this week. There were a hell of a lot of links to a promotional stunt Mindy Kaling did where she dressed up as Marge and got herself photographed on the Simpsons couch to flog her new sitcom. There really isn’t much to the story beyond that so there’s only one link to it below, but that one…
Compare & Contrast: Homer’s Imaginary Friends
“Colonel Klink! Why have you forsaken me?” – Homer Simpson The hallucinatory Stradivarius Cain in “The Spy Who Learned Me” isn’t quite as bad an idea as a tiny green space alien that only Homer can see, but it’s not far off. Even if we set aside some of the more glaring incongruities about Homer’s imaginary friend (what’s with the other imaginary characters interacting with him? were there any reasons besides killing time and cross promotional masturbation for him to pop out of FOX’s stupid football robot?), we’re still left with a number of problems that illustrate not only how…
