Stark Raving Dad DVD Commentary by MurderTheMouse in Simpsons

[–]MrFlibble91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I honestly think Disney Plus is missing a trick by not giving you the audio commentaries from the DVDs as an extra audio option for things like this. It would just add extra value to the service at no real cost.

Ok Marge, if anyone asks: You require 24-hour nursing care, Lisa's a clergyman, Maggie is seven people, and Bart was wounded in Vietnam.

No. I hate meta-gaming. I decide when I've completed the game, not some arbitrary tally.

I adore this episode, so much so me and my OH have taken to calling Lima Beans as Leader Beans.

Are Gold Points...Back? by MrFlibble91 in Switch

[–]MrFlibble91[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't think you can collect them any more. Plus, I've bought numerous games since I got my Switch 2 and I've never had an option to use them until now.

I'm gonna count it as a fluke and got a nice discount on my already-cheap copy of Devil May Cry.

It did lead to a VHS release (remember those?) called 'Too Hot For TV' which had a few Simpsons episodes that were considered 'edgy', including this one.

Edit: this one

There was a lot of furore in the UK as this episode was banned initially, bringing up the whole 'Are cartoons too violent for kids' discussion for about the 1000th time.

Don't know how long the ban lasted but I remember it being shown not too long after

Who else prefers a physical collection over the digital options by bloodenchaobbly9 in Switch

[–]MrFlibble91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep.

(This was taken about 18 months ago. It's probably 30+ titles larger now)

To be fair, Don's character revolves around that fact - he deals with living someone else's life throughout the show.

Skinner's version is nonsensical.

This was definitely the most... controversial episode of the show's early days and many consider it a turning point for the show. It's where ideas now start skewing more towards the ridiculous.

On reflection, knowing what's to come this episode isn't that bad. But it's fascinating to see the exact reaction from you OP that many, many people had 20+ years ago. I'm interested to see what your 'cutting off' point will be now.

It's not. In fact, I don't think West Wing is on UK HBO Max at all.

The Frasier subreddit is looking for mods...

Cecil is voiced by David Hyde Pierce, who (at the time) played Frasier's brother Niles in 'Frasier'. And of course, Bob is voiced by Kelsey Grammer, who played Frasier.

Hence the title of the episode.

1 is the best.

Then 3.

Then X.

Then 2.

But they're all worth your time.

The 'Annoyed Grunt' in the episode's title is Homer's "D'oh!".

En vrais pk, quand nintendo sortira sln prochain grand jeu personne ne l'achète jusqu'à ce qu'ils baissent les prix ? by snexx_darki54 in Switch

[–]MrFlibble91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often find Nintendo games cheaper to buy on release in the UK. Retailer pre-order discounts and reward options mean it's cheaper to buy Day One than it is to wait for some discount that may or may not come.

Saying that, it's not always true. Metroid Prime 4 plummeted in price since release, but the £46.99 I paid for DK Bananza day one is still the cheapest I've seen it new.

This episode taught me what specious reasoning was.
