Once again, Saul is dropping tons of sense on Walter, he's got the levelest head of anyone on the show. If he makes it out OK (and I'm still not sure he does), I predict nothing but good things for his Cinnabon franchise.

"caring about something inevitably allows those who care about nothing
but themselves to reduce you to a mere tool hanging from their beltloop."

Fuck yes Robert Forster. As for Magorium, I have not seen it but isn't it about a delusional nutjob who takes on a young assistant and hopes to stave off oblivion (i.e. said Emporium closing)? IT ALL FITS, PEOPLE

Finally, validation for noted low-tier wrestler Modern Family!

Hands up if the first time you saw this you were in Lisa's shoes and just assumed this was a "Australian slang is weird" gag, like the lift and lorry etc. joke.

Thank you for that, that one frame has me crying with laughter.

On the opposite end, the images of the frogs gumming the crops are more disturbing than I would have thought.

And his shit-eating grin when Bart is about to get booted, there's something unsavory if not distasteful about the man.

To be fair, Marge's "noisy and expensive" is blunt and appropriate, I am sure my parents thought the same about shit I wanted on vacation.

@avclub-9ad2f925a32643f541b183503f33a8c6:disqus Bart's facial expression as that gets the intended reaction could be exhibit A in "shit the show doesn't bother with anymore."

One of those great nuggets that first makes you wonder why your parents are laughing and then, with age and knowledge, becomes something to enjoy for yourself.

"So why does the third act of this episode begin taking Australia to task
for something that isn't based in any sort of truth or perception of
its subject matter, and have Homer non-ironically lecture the Australian
parliament about its justice system when the US is a far worse offender
in the way it treats criminals?"

I remember that campaign well but the Outback one has a far more unnerving accent, it sounds like the guy is about to start slaughtering everyone in the vicinity while jovially talking about shrimp.

With the full salute — while riding a bike! — like it ain't no thing. And that guy's voice is delightful.

Whoa, horse_ebooks is an Avenged Sevenfold fan.

I can't lie, that shit still makes me laugh.

Uh huh, McCarthy. You got a source for this "magic shoe" story?

Marge's outraged emphasis of "tripped" is great. 

Yeah, Breathed and Baumbach sounds great. I can absolutely see Milo from Bloom County growing up to be Chris Eigeman in Kicking and Screaming.

I can see a desperate AMC adopting the motivational tactics of the manager in Major League.
