"Now, professor, without knowing precisely what the danger is, would you say it's time for our viewers to crack each other's heads open, and feast on the goo inside?"

This is still a great movie. Jack Black's best by far. We quote it a lot in the Smashy household, especially Lawrence's "I'm not cool" and "I used to be fun. I used to be FUNNY!". None of us will be watching this, of course.

Seriously, her walking in and immediately walking out again with the Rice Krispie squares and Tang is so fucking FUNNY. The animators deserve credit for that one. The Marge-just-being-a-mom jokes are so great, and are rarely done anymore on the show. Linda Belcher is Marge's spiritual successor in that regard, now.

Great review this week! Gonna miss reading these until next time. This is one of those episodes where you just delightedly go "That's from this one?!" over and over. A true classic filled with amazing moments. "Sweet, merciful crap! My car!" surely ranks among Dan Castalanetta's best line readings…

As a big Radiohead fan, I've always been partial to "You want me? Fucking well come and find me. I'll be waiting with a gun and a pack of sandwiches, and nothing."

Always upsets me a bit a how little integrity the Simpsons voice actors seem to have. They're paid obscene amounts of money but have still caused loads of problems in the past by asking for more. They agree to participate in shit like this, as well as plenty of awful episodes in the past. Nancy Cartwright is a

Y'know, everyone has problems. It doesn't mean you have to be a little crybaby about it.

If Fox asked him to do it, he's gonna do it, probably for free. I'm sure he doesn't care much either way since it must be so obvious to everyone how superior Bob's Burgers is.

A two-hour episode with a revolutionary first half and an ending so bad it kills the viewer?

The Family Guy writers wrote the whole thing, I think. It seems designed as a critique of their own show more than anything else, which is respectable. It's still a shit show, though, and pointing that out does little to change it.

Weird that they'd take a shot at Bob's Burgers like that when it's been better than both Family Guy and The Simpsons since it started. I'm sure we can expect a similar joke about American Dad, which equally outshines these two on a regular basis. Why bring it up at all when it just highlights your own show's

Yet more evidence that the DC Animated Universe is the greatest of all.

So, an Amazonian warrior goddess who fights giant monsters and she's wearing high heels. Sure, why not. It's not like I'll be paying to see this shit anyway.

Man, I'm English, and I can safely say for any Americans who didn't get it that Toby Sebastian seems like a complete arse. It really is that easy to tell. It's the way he said 'part' above all.

It's not working out, Fry. I left your stuff out on the sidewaaaalk!

I've literally just started showing my older sister 30 Rock, and today we met Jack's mother. My sister said Stritch was one of the best things she'd ever seen. I had to agree.

I mean, Season 4, widely considered to be the beginning of the show's Golden Age, begins with a story about the children conquering a summer camp. It's the moment the show became simultaneously more insane and more awesome.

It's interesting how the show became uglier as soon as the writing got worse. It's a good visual indicator of quality when you find a newer episode.

I though Furniture and Meat was reeeally substandard, and Food Chain was cool but boring. This was a fun episode. I'm still waiting for the season to match the quality of that opening two-parter, though; those episodes had basically everything I love about this show. Still, the odds are very strong. Aren't there
