australia, japan, france and brazil episodes - all really spot on and hilarious.
found the UK one inaccurate and offensive, tho.

Brazil one is quite funny iirc but just in that post-Family Guy way where it's more flattering for everyone if you think of it as a sketch show

was also surprised to hear robert pinsky bring more vigor and youthful energy to his cameo than tony hawk and 50 cent.

50 Cent's never brought energy or vigor to anything

Man, even the Treehouse of Horror eps are lame these days, aren't they? And they used to be the saving grace of even the dud seasons.

When the sleb episodes started to be the building block of a show is when I started to get a bit tired of it.
That Alec Baldwin/Kim Basinger one was risible, and so was the tennis episode.

That Alec Baldwin/Kim Basinger one
aw i liked this one. "you've killed ron howard!"

I did like that Howard was a boozer in a robe tho.

still waiting for Ron Howard to make that movie about the robot driving instructor who goes back in time for some reason, along with his sidekick the talking pie.

luke perry being cemented in canon as krusty's half-brother has had surprisingly few repercussions.

the australia episode is A+++ trayce, what are you on about
― dayo, Friday, 11 February 2011 00:44 (thirteen years ago) link
marge vs. monorail is classic but I'm getting a bit tired as how it's referred to as the peak of the simpsons
― dayo, Friday, 11 February 2011 00:45 (thirteen years ago) link
Alec Baldwin/Kim Basinger one is genuinely funny but I feel bad watching it cause it's really what opened up the floodgates
― iatee, Friday, 11 February 2011 00:46 (thirteen years ago) link
It received mixed reception in Australia, with some Australian fans saying the episode was a mockery of their country.
― dayo, Friday, 11 February 2011 00:53 (thirteen years ago) link
I wasnt offended by the ep as a mockery, I just thought the jokes were lame and really lazy cliches.
― Senor DingDong (Trayce), Friday, 11 February 2011 00:59 (thirteen years ago) link
the only thing that bothered me about the ep was that it promoted the idea we drink fosters

2. "I call the big one 'Bitey.'"
Yeah, that line's funny enough on its own...but it gets funnier later on, when it lodges itself into Marge's train of thought: I've sold monorails to Brockway, Ogdenville and North Haverbrook!...Is there a chance the track could bend?...I call the big one Bitey!...I've sold monorails to Brockway, Ogdenville and North Haverbrook!...Is there a chance the track could bend?...I call the big one Bitey!

^^ That dental plan moment may be when I first realized the Simpsons had ascended to become an all time classic. Right down to the "why are we all laughing" ending.

ah cah man DENTAL PLAN is awesome.
I must admit that I have no idea what you're all referring to when you talk about the France episode, as I assume you aren't talking about the season 1 episode where Bart did a student exchange with Adil Hoxha of Albania.
― Antoine Bugleboy (Merdeyeux), Friday, 11 February 2011 04:20 (thirteen years ago) link
Last Exit to Springfield is utterly flawless. Anyone who disagrees is headed straight for the disgusting savage thread.
― Antoine Bugleboy (Merdeyeux), Friday, 11 February 2011 04:21 (thirteen years ago) link
the albanian exchange student was definitely not season 1
― dayo, Friday, 11 February 2011 04:21 (thirteen years ago) link
i think the best gag in last exit is where a squeaky, unctuous keeps voting 'nay' @ the union meeting until homer, exasperated, finally asks 'who keeps saying that' & it pans to a pair of guys at the back of the room. one of them is a shrimpy dude in a willy loman sack suit the other this buff germanic dude. the small guy in the same squeaky voice points at the larger, blaming him, exhorts everyone to beat the other dude up & laughs

no, it totally is
s1 isnt really that good but i kinda think it & s2 get a strangely bad rep - there are some really good moments in most of those episodes
