> [@cmkeller](#): > > What continuity error? The blank blackboard after Bart returns his test and collapses?? That’s all I can spot. Willie rips off his shirt, begins wrestling the wolf shirtless. Cuts to Bart. Cuts back to Willie wrestling the wolf with a shirt on. ---

On viewing again, there isn’t even a cut to Bart. It is two angles of Willie and the wolf, instantly from shirtless to shirty. ---

One memorable moment I enjoyed is when Krusty is talking about “mob families” and mentions the Cuomos, the Travoltas, the Lasordas, and the Boyardees. ---

I have a question, if it’s not too much of a hijack: What kind of television does the Simpson family watch? Is it still a huge piece-of-furniture CRT or do they watch a flat screen? ---

In a college organic chemistry lab, a student spilled NaOH all over his hands. Nasty stuff. Instead of rushing to rinse it off, he just stood there and said in a Ralph Wiggum voice, “_That tastes like burning!_” ---

My favorite Homer’s Brain scene: Homer (reading from Bill Cosby’s _Fatherhood_): “Cosby’s First Law of Inter-Generational Perversity: No matter what you tell your child to do, he will always do the opposite.” Huh? Homer’s Brain: Don’t you get it!? You gotta use reverse psychology! Homer: Well, that sounds too complicated. Homer’s Brain: Okay, _don’t_ use reverse psychology. Homer (defiantly): All right, I will! ---

> [@Rhodes](#): > > In a college organic chemistry lab, a student spilled NaOH all over his hands. Nasty stuff. > > Instead of rushing to rinse it off, he just stood there and said in a Ralph Wiggum voice, “ _That tastes like burning!_ ” In a moment of crisis and pain, instead of attempting to alleviate it or panicking he instead choose to make a geeky joke? That’s my kind of person. ---
