[QUOTE=Trunk]

And, did Lenny or Carl make some crack about _their_ mom?

[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I caught that too.

“It’s headed for the flammable district!”  
“Oh no, that’s where our mom lives!”  
It was funny, but I was really creeped out by Mom saying they’ll lie to the neighbors and raise the kids as twins… wtf?

It’s been done, not necessarily twins but the parents of a young daughter raising her child as their own. See for example Bobby Darrin and Jack Nicholson.

You know what, Otto? You probably have the board’s coolest Simpson’s name. Great character.

I also really liked the Ultimate Fighting Zoo.

It’s actually from Repo Man, plus an ex-boyfriend tagged me with it as part of an old AOL handle, but thanks.

I don’t know, a Jack Benny joke? Seemed a little weak.

I thought it was just a gay Smithers joke

When Smithers goes “I’m Flaming”, Mr. Burns strikes the classic Jack Benny comedic pose. Look at the [Google Image link](http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=Jack+Benny) and you should see the matching pose.

A simple enough gag, but it made me burst out laughing which is something _The Simpsons_ hasn’t done in awhile: The parody of the opening, with Bart driving instead of riding his skateboard was overall funny, but his landing the car on Homer was fricking hilarious.

I thought this was the best new episode in a long time. Damning with faint praise, I know, but still.
