Yes, the institution of marriage is completely removed from the context of relationships that female comics of the 90s talked about. If you really wanted to attack my response you should have brought up the fact that Krusty's disgustion of women's bodily functions is sexist instead. There isn't anyway of getting…

*does a spit take.

At lot happens to Krusty in this episode, but I wish that more happened to the comedic guests. "The Last Temptation of Krusty" is very similar to Homerpalooza in its structure with less to do for the guests. Jay Leno gets a lot of face time, I just would have liked for from the others.

It gets so much worse for random celebrities though. People not even related to the plot just pop in, say two lines, then we forget they're there. The only purpose they serve is to be highlighted in the ads for the episode and fuck with the pacing of the episode.

The Ponytail is a dead giveaway. But I'm sure they took more than one thing in their inspiration.

On the topic of Krusty's sexist rant: I can see it if you don't know the context which Krusty was talking about. During the 90's there were a high number of female comedians whose act involved talking about their failed love-life, and lets be honest, this still happens today. This combined with more open acceptance of…

The story was really low key, in a good way. What sold the episode for me was the use of attic cloths. It was nice to see them rotating their outfits throughout the episode and showed a care in the episode we didn't see in the last episode.

Dudley Doright is the Canadian version of the Crocodile Dundee. Just another similarity between our two contries.

It'll be like kids in the future watching all the Mapple stuff and thinking it was a bizarre caricature.

I don't see how anyone could ever be mad at The Simpsons for misrepresenting their country. Being from Canada we easily get poked at the most (besides America itself) and I love it. Japan, Brazil, Australia, New Orleans (not a country, I know) have all taken offense when negatively depicted. What they did took…

No, something has happened. It's aged. And just because he doesn't like the episode doesn't make him a hater. I've seen every episode countless times and this was bad.

Honestly?

Fuck, that was a mess.

It would be decades after this aired till I got what was being referenced by the giant bubble engulfing Moleman.

South Park has two distinct episodes about Scientology: Trapped in the Closet and Super Best Friends. Everyone forgets about super best friends, but its the better of the Scientology episodes. Trapped in the Closet is more of a direct address to Scientology; one that literately ends with a dare to Scientology.

Yeah, but the Simpsons did it first.

"Who do you love?"
"Hover-bikes!"

Fair point. I've only been around when variety shows had all but disappeared so its always been antiquated.

But they're not making a shitty knock-off; they're making a knock-off. The only thing diminishing its value is its repetition of format. The content is new.

I'm not sold that mockumentory format is right for the show. Besides it being a cilche of T.V comedies now, it feels forced to use the comedic tools of the mockumentory format. I don't adding muppets to the mix is an recipe for success.
