Galileo908 March 16, 2015 Share March 16, 2015 Man it took this long for a "Homer becomes Duffman" plot?! It took the show only 6 years before Homer became Krusty. The GoT parody with Duff was awesome. I also liked HK Duff VII admitting all the propaganda was bullshit. "Relax, no one's ever been killed by a T-shirt cannon!" Followed by a Tshirt fired into Flanders' house and breaking a picture of Maude. Yeah, they went there. Why does it not surprise me that Lisa has an imaginary therapist? Probably because living with this family for 26 years, she kind of had to have one. That Sam Simon tribute really got to me. Still so sad. 2 Link to comment
Twilight Man March 16, 2015 Share March 16, 2015 Comic Book Guy: "Excuse me, these people already owned a horse!!" I don't remember which episode it was (there have been over 550; give me a break!!), but Homer was up in the Duff Blimp with Duffman over a stadium, while Marge was down in the stadium and got rescued by another Duffman, who not only claimed there was more than one Duffman, but there was three working this one event itself. With all the football and baseball games happening all at once, it only makes sense to have more than one Duffman. Homer: "Does anybody care what this guy has to say?" Crowd: "NO!!!!!" (Sigh) 1 Link to comment

peeayebee March 16, 2015 Share March 16, 2015 I loved the GoT segment. Hearing that theme again warms my heart. I love a good (or bad) pun: A New Star Rises in the Yeast. I also loved Homer's speech in the GoT part. 1 Link to comment
Kaboom 2.0 March 16, 2015 Share March 16, 2015 Ever since Futurama premiered every time I see Duffman's pelvic thrusting I immediately think of Slurms McKenzie's head bobbing to the beat. I actually liked this ep, Homer adding yet another entry to his long list jobs, the tee shirt cannon hitting Maude's framed photo right after the "relax, no one's ever been killed by a tee shirt cannon," the Olde Ogdenville Ale tramp stamp, the GoT tribute and Homer's Duff Beer pledge, Lisa's imaginary therapist, the tribute to Sam Simon at the end. I lol'd at Moe's Wall of Never Was (I think that is what it's called?) and Wall of Has Beens and Moe depressing-up the bar a little more, like spray painting the one spot on the window that had allowed a small ray of sunshine in. 3 Link to comment

reggiejax March 30, 2015 Share March 30, 2015 Quit frankly some of my favorite Simpsons episodes are more recent ones. Who else agrees? I do not. Too many damn Elon Musk references. And don't get me started about how more effort is put into the couch gag than in the actual episode. If that makes me someone who is not with what is it (and what is it, I'm not with), then so be it. 2 Link to comment
Kel Varnsen March 31, 2015 Share March 31, 2015 So we bought a tablet a couple of weeks ago, and pretty much since then I have been playing Simpsons: Tapped Out pretty much non-stop. I think I am at around level 10, just finished the supper hero episode and got Radioactive Man. 1 Link to comment

AntiBeeSpray April 9, 2015 Share April 9, 2015 And 17 will be the last season as physical DVD's continue their slow death spiral. Yep. And I don't really care. *shrug* Will just catch episodes when I can either live or On Demand. I like to watch shows off line when I can. Not even bothering with their streaming app either. With online caps it's not worth it. Everything may be moving online, but at the end of the day, a lot of people will be left in the dust due to said caps. Digital media isn't the be all and end all imo. I'm planning on moving onto blu ray when I can, but I'm sticking with DVD's for now. Pirates will still pirate. Regardless of what they try to do to stop it. Link to comment
beadgirl April 10, 2015 Share April 10, 2015 Yeah, I started Tapped Out last April, and I think I've managed to play every single day. It's surprisingly addictive, but also fairly easy to keep to just a little bit of time each day. The Superhero event was awesome. I even spent my carefully-hoarded donuts on Plopper (and was bummed I couldn't get Bartman or Fruit Bat Man). Link to comment
Kel Varnsen April 11, 2015 Share April 11, 2015 Wow if you have been playing for a year you must be pretty far along. I'm on level 15. Just got the library and just about have vomic book guy.

Galileo908 April 20, 2015 Share April 20, 2015 I was not expecting to love this one, but this ended up being pretty good! Loved that popcorn couch gag. "Have Have!" "Sorry autocorrect" "Haw Haw!" Homer consoling Lisa was a really sweet moment. "Ice cream is like kid whiskey." Marge stalking Bart was pretty creepy, yet justified (Bart has hid a LOT of things from Marge over the years). It, however, lead to that great parody of the opening with Bart skating past everyone in Springfield. But for old time's sake, Bart should've stolen the bus stop sign and have people running at the bus. But I'll admit, the fact that Bart DID end up stealing the bulldozer was something I should've seen coming. He was pretty convincing. But I do love how Marge's over-focus on Bart led to Maggie injuring herself on wack-a-mole (which had really great animation), and Lisa catching mono from old paper in the nurse's office (mentioned earlier in the ep). Baz the dog was freaking adorable. I hope she comes back, especially since she became friends with SLH. "Property of Ned Flanders? You got this from Homer!" Link to comment
ottoDbusdriver April 20, 2015 Share April 20, 2015 (edited) What the hell was that ? Were the writers for this episode both lazy and stupid at the same time and just phoned it in ? Marge was hardly a "peeping" mom, she was very upfront at following Bart all the time. But that's all she did -- and it wasn't even mildly amusing. After the umpteenth time asking about the bulldozer, I was just bored. Add in that Flanders gets a dog that likes Homer better, also not even mildly amusing. And what the hell was the point of leaving the 'F' and 'D' letters standing ? The only part I did like was ninja Maggie and her pacifier silencer. What a snoozefest. Makes me long for the days of the Monorail episode, back when it was funny, smartly written and entertaining. ETA: Not to ask a completely stupid question, but why didn't anyone -- Oh I don't know, say, Marge -- follow the bulldozer tracks to see where it went ? Nobody went after it -- the owners, the police -- as it would have left a trail wherever it went since bulldozers weigh as much as a tank or more.

Spartan Girl April 20, 2015 Share April 20, 2015 The only 2 things I liked was Homer consoling Lisa via linked muttering and the scene with SLH and Baz at the end.

Kaboom 2.0 April 20, 2015 Share April 20, 2015 Wow that was really boring. I think the only parts I liked were Nelson's auto-corrected "haw haw," Maggie's pacifier silencer, Lisa and Homer's shared muttering scene and Homer and SLH making up at the end. I'll admit Baz was cute as was her facial expressions when she performed every holy command from ole Neddie. So we'll never see her again, right? Link to comment

Galileo908 April 27, 2015 Share April 27, 2015 (edited) Intro: Frink in an Iron Man Suit! Billboard: "Mr. Burns in The Jinx 2." That's so freaking great. Chalkboard: "I Will Not Pay My sister to Do My Punishment" One of the pics on Homer's roll of film has Homer mimicking Demi Moore's famous cover photo when she was pregnant. That image is burned into my brain. I like that the flashback was a generic "six years ago." We saw what became of Bart's scary clown bed. And Grandma Flanders. Well, that was trauma the Flanders kids are not gonna forget. I love the newspaper in the background of the Wiggum & Gil scene "Cop Surrenders to Scarecrow." I thought Bart and Lisa as kids were really sweet. ETA: Apparently Marge used Maggie's room as a weed garden. Okay then. Edited April 27, 2015 by Galileo908 3 Link to comment

Did anyone notice the pile of bodies in that billboard for the Jinx 2 -- there must have been 30+ bodies there ? Sequels always take it up a notch. I did like Maggie stunning rats in Moe's pool table with the pool cue. Add in 'The Game of Life' couch gag and this episode was off to a good start, but it just kind of petered out towards the end. It was better than last week's episode, but that's no saying much. How come Bart and Lisa wouldn't remember any of that and had to have Homer explain it to them ? Bart I can understand, but even at two Lisa is a practically eligible for MENSA membership. Not to ask a silly question, but why was Homer even wearing that jacket full of old crap at Moe's in the first place ? That needed explaining. ETA: The citation Homer pulled out of his jacket pocket was for 'Indecent Snowman Building' with Coal boobs and Carrot Wang. The issuer of the ticket was TABF12 -- which happens to be the episode production code. Edited April 27, 2015 by ottoDbusdriver 1 Link to comment
