“Bart and I ran into a really mean pit boss and are in the Nevada state prison. Also, I don’t know where Bart is…” ---

I also enjoyed Flanders buying back his own stuff at the garage sale. ---

Pity the poor people who have to do the foreign translations. The song does work well in the context of the show; they are sung when Joseph gets his “dazzling coat of many colours” and becomes a freaking showoff with his dreams. ---

I liked the ending, but I wish that they’d open next week’s episode with everyone getting out of jail. They’re probably just going to start from normal again, but if they covered just the ending of the plot, like everyone arriving home again, with minimal explanation, that could be funny if done well. I loved the bacon exchange and Martin’s steam afro. I want to see Skinner’s dance audition tape! ---

> [@MaxTheVool](#): > > By the way, here are the actual lyrics from _Joseph_: > > > [@](#): > > > > _You’re crazy if you think I’m going to coopy them here yet again!_ The creepy thing was that, judging by mouth movements, Flanders was continuing to sing as he moved from room to room. But every time the window opened, he picked up where he had left off when he closed the previous window. Or maybe the creepy thing is that I was able to catch that. ---

“Heh heh. You made that TV show really mad.” While I agree with some of the criticisms, and could add some of my own (like how disappointed I was by the explanation for why Bart was on the “no fly” list—that could have been a lot better), on the whole it was a solid, enjoyable episode. ---

> [@Zahava424](#): > > I liked the ending, but I wish that they’d open next week’s episode with everyone getting out of jail. The Simpsons have been in and out of jail so many times, it’s pretty much a given that Wiggum will let them go or Judge what’shisface will issue a writ of “boys will be boys” or they’ll just escape. ---

They’re probably just going to start from normal again, but if they covered just the ending of the plot, like everyone arriving home again, with minimal explanation, that could be funny if done well. It’d be sort of cool. But I don’t know what they could do to top that closing joke. ---

Um, not creepy, that was sort of the point of the joke. The visual & audio of him singing the song, and the pointless length of the whole gag, you anticipate him going from window to window when you see all the flower boxes. Although I wish The Simpsons would leave the uncomfortably long gags to Family Guy. ---

Hello everybody, I thought the two long gags were funny in a sort-of self-deprecating way. You know, kind of like how Krusty lampooned SNL that time with the “big ear” family. Flanders is a funny tool sometimes, but I wouldn’t have noticed the lip movements without kaylasdad99 pointing it out. I went back and watched it. That’s what I love about the show, really, it’s usually good enough to go back for seconds. Can’t say the same for Family Guy most nights, especially the Shipoopi number.
