The show has kept all of the Simpsons the same age for 15 years and NOW it’s time to start complaining about continuity?
OK, I forget, where does “Jane, you ignorant slut” come from?
My favorite part of the episode was the bus driver saying that he loves happy endings, just like his last massage!
Well, I was sort of willing to forgive quite a lot for the line:
“The BiMonSciFiCon? Yeah, girls’ll put out just to get the hell out of there!”
Oh, “Jane, you ignorant slut” comes from Dan Ackroyd and Jane Curtain’s SNL takeoff of the old 60 Minutes Point/CounterPoint segment (with James J. Kilpatrick and Shana Alexander. It used to occupy Andy Rooney’s time slot.
Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin on Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update. They would do a Point-Counterpoint segment parodying Crossfire-type debates, but they’d just insult the shit out of each other while making only tangential reference to the issue. Dan always started by saying “Jane, you ignorant slut.”
Like a couple of the best lines in the episode, that was just awful. Loved it.
Well, that stick is held in place by the steel plate he got in Vietnam.
We complained about “60 Minutes” and went to bed earlier.
I finally watched this (was away and TiVoed it) and was expecting pure stinko from some of the comments here. I found a pretty typical episode with some lameness and a few hilarious bits. My favorite bit was Nelson telling Krabapple “Bros before hos!” snork
My only scoffs are that I don’t buy that Edna would back out because she was so ADAMANT about marrying him in the first place. Skinner didn’t revert back to anything; he only agreed in the first place because he didn’t believe it would ever happen.
The Marge/Homer thing was lame though, I’ll give you that. I cracked up at the band in the closet though. “How romantic!!!”
