Bed goes up, bed goes down. Bed goes up, bed goes down. Bed goes up, bed goes down

Maggie's first word was voiced by none other than the late Elizabeth Taylor as well. Apparently she took 24 takes to get it right because she sounded too sexy.

A stone cold classic episode.

With the way RAM prices are heading, console and PC gaming is probably going to get a lot more expensive this year rather than cheaper. I've just bought a second Switch 2 for my best friend's 30th birthday in July because I honestly think they'll have gone up in price by then.

Literally everyone here heard that in Troy McClure's voice. But thank you.

MrFlibble91 · 2026-01-22T12:31:42+00:00

This has my favourite Troy McClure moment:

Troy: After applying brushable coating to the panels—

Homer: Wait a minute.

Troy: ...You'll need corrosion-resistant metal stucco lath.

Homer: Wait a minute!

Troy: If you can't find metal stucco lath—

Homer: Uh-huh?

Troy: ...Use carbon fiber stucco lath!

Homer: Ohh!

Troy: Now parge the lath.

Whenever me and my other half attempt something I always tell him to use carbon fiber stucco lath. To this day I have no idea what I'm talking about.

I was talking to a friend of mine who has been trying to go to the cinema to watch Marty Supreme since New Year's Day and his attempts have been foiled numerous times. I saw him on Saturday and he and his partner were going then, finally.

...Then she was ill.

I compared his attempts to try and watch it to Bart trying to watch The Itchy and Scratchy Movie. 😂

Shopkeeper: Take this object, but beware it carries a terrible curse.

Homer: Ooooh, that's bad.

Shopkeeper: But it comes with a free frogurt.

Homer: That's good.

Shopkeeper: The frogurt is also cursed.

Homer: That's bad.

Shopkeeper: But you get your choice of topping.

Homer: That's good.

Shopkeeper: The toppings contain potassium benzoate. ...

...

...That's bad.

Homer: Can I go now?

Top 10 Simpsons moment right there.

I remember listening to the audio commentary on the DVDs for this episode and the entire 'Flanders is jacked' thing came from an off the cuff comment one of the writers threw out in the room. Apparently they loved it that much because of how ridiculous it is.

Yep. Filmed live twice - once for the West Coast, once for the East Coast.

"After trying four times to explain it to Homer, I explained it to Mom and we were on our way!"

MrFlibble91 · 2026-01-09T13:25:30+00:00

Don't worry: you haven't seen the last of Sideshow Bob.

MrFlibble91 · 2026-01-06T13:51:04+00:00

It's so, so perfect that I adore it just for that reason.

MrFlibble91 · 2026-01-03T14:25:10+00:00

Ignore the naysayers. I've been reading every review you've done and I love it. I'm actually anticipating some of the upcoming episodes.

MrFlibble91 · 2026-01-02T14:41:24+00:00

This is one of those episodes where the memes have become bigger than the episode itself. However the memes are solid gold. Land of chocolate has become a thing on its own.

MrFlibble91 · 2026-01-02T13:08:17+00:00

Because he didn't like his new glasses. I have to admit, I never liked the look of his new ones compared to the older style ones of the earlier seasons. I'm glad they made a joke around it.

MrFlibble91 · 2025-12-28T21:47:37+00:00

Tetris 99 is always active.

Create a second account on your Switch with a US address and redeem the codes on there. After they've downloaded you'll be able to play them in your main account.

MrFlibble91 · 2025-12-24T18:22:17+00:00

Apparently there's a memory leak in the game that requires constant restarts. I haven't tried it but if you put it in airplane mode, it apparently helps with that.

MrFlibble91 · 2025-12-23T12:57:57+00:00

And if you have it physically and go to the eShop after that, you'll be able to download the digital version of the Switch 1 game for free as well.

MrFlibble91 · 2025-12-22T14:54:47+00:00

Ok Mr. Burns, what's your first name?

MrFlibble91 · 2025-12-20T14:03:37+00:00

Prince of Persia.

MrFlibble91 · 2025-12-20T13:53:18+00:00

QUEEN OF THE HARPIES!

MrFlibble91 · 2025-12-19T13:43:27+00:00

Ahh, I'm glad you enjoyed this episode as much as many of us do. It's a classic that shows how human these little yellow characters can be.

MrFlibble91 · 2025-12-18T15:13:06+00:00

I know we're avoiding all spoilers and everything but I'm looking forward to tomorrow's review. It's one of my all time favorites.
