And C. Montgomery "Monty" Burns cuts an endorsement ad for....

Cafe Society

W. Mitt “Mittens” Romney.
Surprise, surprise.

ETA: Smithers sure has been following the race closely, it seems.

2

I felt about this the way I feel about all current “The Simpsons” episodes. A good idea squandered. Amusing but just not terribly funny. Maybe “The Simpsons” universe has just become too familiar to reach the level of hilarity it used to have.

3

People still watch The Simpsons? I thought it and Saturday Night Live were in a contest to see who could coast on momentum the longest.

4

I still like the Simpsons quite a bit. This one, however, didn’t have much creativity or humor. Agree with randwill, could have been much better. But I appreciate the sentiment.

You can coast a long way when it’s downhill.

I got bored with the show once it seemed like every episode followed the same formula:

  1. Real-world phenomenon or event comes to Springfield
  2. 99.9% of the town gets caught up in said phenomenon
  3. the 0.1% who don’t are inevitably Lisa and whatever guest-star-voiced boy she has a crush on this week
  4. event or phenomenon has unexpected consequences
  5. everybody mobs up and threatens a riot
  6. Lisa and her crush du jour are the voices of reason and defuse the situation
  7. everything is back to the way it was at the beginning of the episode.

also there is a clip of Homer voting.

8

That was retarded.

9

He’ll be “Meat” Romney to me from now on.

10

Truly these are the blurst of times.

11

The part at the end was amusing, showing even the small part that could have been the truth wasn’t.

Just once, I wish it wasn’t Gilligan’s fault when the rescue plan gets all bolloxed.

I’m surprised that Monty Burns gives half a damn about the outcome of a presidential election. Think about it: He’s swimming in cash, and every time he goes broke for any reason, he always gets it back. Nothing bad ever happens to him for very long. He’s ridden out multiple safety violations at the plant, the tech crash, multiple recessions, obsolescence, etc. without a scratch. No matter what happens, he’s got it made in the shade. What difference does it make to him whether some guy in a fancy white building has a “D” or “R” before his name?

Yeah, I’m watching again. :slight_smile: Mostly online. What the hey, The Garfield Show didn’t do it for me and it could be a while before the next American Ninja Warrior.
