The Gumby opening couch gag was pretty cool, but then the ep took a bizarre (though not a bad) turn. You had Homer saying that please and thank you killed themselves in a murder suicide situation, and then later on, apparently he described something as “bullshit.” Alexander Graham Bell saying, “Read the patent number, bitch!” was hysterical. All-in-all, not a bad Lisa centered ep.

Was that a new episode? The onscreen guide says it’s a rerun.

First time I had seen this episode…

I laughed out loud mutiple times… Good lord I loved this episode.

Homer’s “That’s bull shit!” was insanely funny.

I also loved the bit with the race car bed.
