[Marge]“I found that missing piece, it was under Maggie’s eyelid!”[/Marge]
The whole scene with Smithers just killed me. “Who’s the bear?!?” LOL
I thought the part where he found the note from Moe’s followed by her pregnancy test results really touching, although I think his reaction was exactly the opposite of what I expected it to be.
If I never see another “4:20” gag in my lifetime it will be too soon for me, though.
A great Cletus line that just came back to me: “Now Ah gots a place to keep mah spiderses!”
Homer tries to remember the Ski Intructor’s important tip:
[instead Ned Flanders appears in a flashback- wearing a very tight ski racing skin suit] Flanders: “Feels like I am wearing nothing at all, nothing at all. . . .”
Homer: Stupid Sexy Flanders!
I didn’t get that joke. I mean, I know that ‘4:20’ is a pot reference, but I didn’t understand what it had anything to do with the scene. Was it just a gratuitous, meaningless ‘ha ha, aren’t we sneaky working in a drug reference’ gag, or did I just miss something?
Overall though, not a bad episode; several laugh-out-loud lines.
I totally missed the 4:20 gag. Wha?
The clock read “4:20” when Marge looked to see what time it was after they’d stayed up all night doing the puzzle. “Look what time it is! Better get the kids some coffee.” I have no idea why they thought that would be a funny gag.
Oh, see, the drug reference went right over my head—I just thought it was funny that they stayed up till almost dawn doing the jigsaw puzzle.
(They should have checked the cat’s litter box for the missing piece—that’s where ours always turned up)
Unless it was 4:20 in the morning and instead of sending the kids to bed, she’s just hopping them up on drugs (caffeine) so they can finish a stupid puzzle.
It made me laugh.
See, I thought the “Better get the kids some coffee” joke was pretty funny in and of itself. The ‘4:20’ gag kinda threw it off though, because it seemed so nonsensical to me.
“The Simpsons” has always been a source for humor about homosexuality. But can anyone recall any lesbian references from the show?
Quite a few, Little Nemo, mostly involving Patty or Selma (whichever one didn’t date or marry Mr. Skinner, Sideshow Bob and Troy McClure).
And last night: “I didn’t think it was possible, but looking at him makes me even more lesbian!”
From this particular episode, sure. When Homer was dancing at the club and removing his shirt, a butch woman said to her companion “I didn’t think it was possible, but that’s making me more lesbian.”
Previously, Aunt Patty had a similar reaction when glimpsing a naked Homer: “Well, there goes there the last lingering thread of my heterosexuality.”
Last night, the butch lesbian watching Homer dance:
“I didn’t think it possible, but now I’m even more of a lesbian”
Or words to that effect, I didn’t tape it.
Lesbian triple-post!
This episode had some laughs but, overall, it was it bit lackluster. Homer’s reason for leaving Marge seemed overly contrived and, again, the writers went out of their way to make Homer act like a whiny, absurdly overly-sensitive, petty jerk. (He’s upset about a critical note Marge wrote before they were married? Let it go.) Marge, meanwhile, had the patience of an army of saints which made Homer’s behavior all the more galling. (Although I did like it at the end when she blew up at him in the medieval-themed restaurant.)
Anyway, I’m going on too long about this ep. I better quit before I sound like CBG.
From the ep where Homer gets thrown out of Moe’s and is trying to find a new hangout:
Homer: Hey, wait a minute! This lesbian bar doesn’t have a fire exit! Enjoy your deathtrap, ladies! <storms out>
Random lesbian: What’s her problem?
As for last night’s episode, all I can remember about it is shirtless Homer dancing in a gay disco. <shudder> That’s blocked out everything else in the show. Makes me think Joe Cool had a point about that whole “abomination” thing.
Another lesbian reference:
Homer’s looking for a bar to replace Moe’s so he visits one that’s peculiar–not because it’s a lesbian bar but because it doesn’t have a fire exit. He then leaves in a huff ("What’s her problem?)
There was a gay kiss on “King of the Hill”-Dale’s dad is gay-but you could only see it reflected in Dale’s sunglasses, and all you could see was the back of their heads.
And of course, Dale thinks that John Redcorn is gay. That’s pretty funny!
Yeah, last night was pretty funny.
BTW, what’s the deal with Lenny and Carl?
Lesbian? This isn’t my army reunion.
