My favorite thing about the Fisticuff sketch is the way it juxtaposes the rapper's ineptitude with the boilerplate thug posturing of guys talking about "drinking 40s and banging chicks without rubbers". Pitch perfect.

Chappelle Show crosses that line between just a good show and an all-time classic because, unlike shows that mask lack of inspiration by ramming a single catch phrase into the ground, you can take almost any episode and rattle off at least a dozen lines that are iconic just from one use ("I'm Rick James bitch"…

Linda's hair blowing back when Barney belches in her face is a nice touch. The supremely idiotic smile on Homer's face when he concocts his "pornography store" alibi may be the greatest thing in the history of television, or anything.

It's not that emotional resonance kills the comedy, it's just that an emotional story is somehow even more affecting when punctuated with comedy, which the Simpsons was able to do perfectly in its prime. I think this episode has tons of pathos, just enough to get the point across without beating you over the head with…

I think the wedgie joke is perfectly timed and undercuts what could've potentially turned into schmaltz nicely.

I was thinking during chicken fight sequence - if Peter travels back to 1885 and hitches a ride on the Delorian with Marty McFly, then doesn't he end up not back in 2012 but in 1985? Think about it - there are no more space shuttles being launched, so it's definitely not 2012. And perhaps the island he appears to end…

Didn't Bleeding Gums Murphy aleady teach Lisa about self-esteem back in season 1? In any case it seems out of character for Lisa, the voice of reason and intelligence on the show, to buy into Gaga's cult.

The 100th DS was hysterical, which it couldn't not be with all the callbacks to pretty much every memorable bit from the past 6 years (yeah, this era has been pretty dry, but the shorts were always pretty reliable), but where was Lazy Sunday? It seemed odd not to include a mention to the classic that started it all,…

The worst thing about that montage is that it violates the "no hugging, no learning" rule of Seinfeld by showing the actors not only hugging but also learning their lines. What a load of sentimental crap.
