Warning...Spoliers...
Weel, tonight we celebrate the 300th(or is that the 302th? Ha..a good joke)ep of The Simpsons. On my scale I have to give this one a 8.5. Reason it didn't get a 10 is because of the useless Blink 182 joke. They only had one or two lines, & they weren't even that funny. Plus, I hate them so...
But no, this was very good. I didn't want to expect too much, but this was excellent. Starts off with a fairly good chalkboard gag(however, I'm beginning to wonder if this is the end of these because of the nature of it...), then jets to a very good couch gag.
Okay, stuff I did like;
The emancipated joke.
The Homer/MJ joke.
The guy sayin' he'd buy a suit of drugs.
The furbies.
Old Nelson.
The 300/302 meta joke.
Bart coloring on his arm with a marker in his loft.
Milhouse's stuffed dog. By the way, was that a real stuffed dog, or was it a just a stuffed animal? Still funny either way.
The Butterfinger meta joke. Thing is though, INHO, couldn't they render the bars like in the commercials. You can barely tell it's a Butterfinger.
Also, the previews showed these lame "I love Simpsons" quotes from other FOX stars, well they didn't show that. Goody!
Okay, stuff I didn't like;
Blink 182.
Baby stink breath. I thought they could've done more with this. Or at least make more. And changing dna when Bart was a baby?! We can't even do that now!
Also, I was dissapointed that the 90 minute special didn't consist of a doc. I wasn't aware that it was 3 eps. One of those a rerun I wasn't crazy about. I'm sorry, but that 5-minute BBN doc on the first dvd just wasn't enuff for me.
So anyways, I was pleasently suprised. I'll post the review for the other one tommarow.
Peace.
