PLANET EXPRESS!

That was great.

 

[trance2009]

"That's just sick."

I confess, I laughed.

 

[Edward15]

Marry me, Pa
"That's just sick!"
LOL!

 

[TnAdct1]

PLANET EXPRESS!

That was great.

So true. With that, a blackboard gag that's very appropriate, and an ASCII art couch gag, that was a fun opening.

 

[trance2009]

"Why did I agree to moderate this teleconference?"

Kearney with the clever wordplay.

 

[Edward15]

Ten to one, something's going to happen where Homer needs to strangle Bart.

 

[Dudley]

I haven't watch Precious but it got it anyway!

 

[veemonjosh]

"No...NO STAR WARS PARODIES!"

Hahaha, I want to imagine that might've been a slight poke at Family Guy's specials.

 

[Edward15]

"No...NO STAR WARS PARODIES!"

It's actually a little late for that one.

 

[Golfkid]

Was that the first ever Bart prank text?

 

[veemonjosh]

Looks like Bart's prank calls have entered the 21st century...

RIP Elizabeth Taylor, the original voice of Maggie.

 

[trance2009]

So that was Paul Rudd as the therapist. Did not know that.

Liz Taylor tribute. Nice.

 

[Golfkid]

God tribute. That was really nice.

 

[HEATXZ]

Great episode
My favorite parts are Kid Homer strangling Grandpa and Bart prank texting Moe XD

 

[KarlOlson]

the pacing was quite nice this episode, and the dream sequence was hilarious. nice to see the "no star wars" parodies jab in that. i have to think that may have come out of the writer's room and someone's pitch about adding a star wars parody in (would've written itself - bart vader - you are my father - yadda yadda.)

 

[Muthablood Pucka]

The scene where Futurama made a cameo made me LOL and the episode was pretty good.

 

[FFmax]

I loved this episode and the Precious spoof killed me.

 

[Doguineta]

Great funny ep. Best jokes were - PLanet Express!, Burns's ballon (& skilled Burns), Old Jewish Guy dying, Marry Me Pa ("That's sick!"), kid Homer strangling Abe, "Now you're a tree?!", the snake jumping back to Homer's pants, Bart prank texting Moe & "No Star Wars parodies!".

So yeah, like 8.9/10.

Thoughts on the episode:

Nice tribute to Liz Taylor

So many funny moments for me: Marry Me Pa, The NFL mascot zoo with the dolphin smacking the panther, the fan cam bit with Old Jewish Man, Kid Homer strangling Grandpa, Bart's prank text, etc.

Nice guest voice work by Paul Rudd and Kareem Abdul-Jabar
