Dammit, that's the fresh, topical joke that I was about to make!

@avclub-501c54d131c3b93043a744af0c259c58:disqus Thanks for that! Truly hilarious.

That can't end well. Hell, it can't start well.

DJ gets pregnant. Uncle Joey says: Cut. It. Out.

HE DID IT! HE GOT THE WATER!

Pierce has already won the 2015 Hugos.

How did the guy on the left manage to end up with no douchy facial hair, least douchy hairstyle, and least douchy t-shirt?

It was wonderful that he was finally able to record the backlog of all the great songs that Garfunkel refused to let him do.

Sure, George's "Wonderwall  Music" and "Electronic Sounds", and John's "Two Virgins", "Life with the Lions", "The Wedding Album", and "Live Peace in Toronto" were indications that there were grumblings of breaking up among the Beatles, but it wasn't till Ringo released "Sentimental Journey", his album of old…

I can see you're new around here.

That one's "Radio Bart". This one just has Bart sitting at the kitchen table, eating all the chocolate out of the box of Neapolitan ice cream. It's easy to overlook because there isn't any attention drawn to it in the episode.

Hey! I wasn't replying to that! I was replying to "PYLE!"

For what it's worth, @avclub-9ff7c9eb9d37f434db778f59178012da:disqus , I agree with you insofar as I think this is probably the weakest Season 5 episode (either this one or "Secrets of a Successful Marriage".) The great episodes from this season are highly satisfactory, coherent wholes, while this one feels incredibly…

@avclub-41e23e24ee2670c4128cd7e5e5ee42ab:disqus But after that, you'll jack up the price?

Even for a season five episode, this one feels as if the writers were paying the least possible attention to the plot, and just trying to stick as many gags in as possible.

A great little gag that I actually only noticed on watching the episode this time around: when Lisa sees the little girls' jazz band go by and says "They're having a great time and I'm stuck in here", only for her vacuum cleaner to suck at her saxophone, the sax makes the "womp womp!" sound.

"I think you're taking unfair advantage of my generous offer."

Although, making this mistake does illustrate his point about TV destroying people's attention spans…

"Uh, it's hard for us to leave when you're standing there, mom."
