"Great. I ate Homer Simpson's brain." *picks crayon wax out of teeth*

You sound like my mommy. I KNOW I SMELL THE AROMA OF RED BULL AND MISOGYNY DOWN THERE!

It'll die by next season.

I realized you're being sarcastic, and that's funny, but you've missed the point entirely. It's an red pill nightmare in the sense that Phil is supposed to represent the 'beta male'. In a post-apocalyptic world, he couldn't make it as a "man going his own way", so he turned to suicide. Once people started showing up,

"I am getting the feeling that people hate Melissa because she's a projection of an attractive girl that they chased after and couldn't have."

FUCK IT! LET'S JUST ADD ANOTHER MAN TO THE CAST! 7'S COMPANY, 7 BILLION'S A CROWD!

Mmmm. yes, I agree. Shallow and pedantic.

"Hey Moe, whose leg do you have to hump to get frosty chocolate milkshakes?"

Well she also has a haircut from the '50s, so.. uh…. WIZARD!

I think this was a second-hand account. To be perfectly honest, I don't even remember where I heard it.

Um, hello? Marge has had that car since 1989 at latest.

When Homer said, "She just thinks of me as another dog," I remembered that John Swartzwelder said he wrote Homer as if he were a dog who could talk.

Don't feel bad. I was ready, set to drop the "Aurora Borealis? At this time of year?" line before I realized, "Crap, wrong one."

They don't necessarily need to review all the episodes from those seasons. Just do the ones most memorable.

On the subject of spin-offs, today is the anniversary of the first Simpsons short on The Tracey Ullman Show. It aired on April 19th, 1987, which just happened to be Easter Sunday.
That's a somewhat amusing piece of trivia: With 'Good Night' and 'Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire', the Simpsons were introduced to us

Well, yeah, it's not particularly that bad per se, but it's definitely one of the most infamous ones. It seems obvious to me that the writers were actively trying to make it come off as the "Worst. Episode. Ever." As if it were some kind of meta parody of a unintentionally bad episode.

I often refer to him by the name on his tombstone. Frank "Grimey" Grimes. As if Grimey were his middle.

The Simpsons at its worst is nearly as hilarious as The Simpsons at its prime. I want everyone to watch episodes like the fucking Lady Gaga one and the panda rape one and remind themselves that this was the same show that gave us "Do It For Her" and "You are Lisa Simpson".

That's one vivid memory about The Simpsons from my childhood. It always pissed me off when the third act usually had nothing to do with the first act. I think I told my mom at some point, "I don't wanna watch The Simpsons. They never finish anything."

I liked when his mother's coffin rolled away and he kicked over the tombstone of one Frank "Grimey" Grimes.
