Chaplin silent film (with Homer as Chaplin)
Also Starring: Dana Gould, Pamela Hayden, John Kassir,

Overseas Animation: Rough Draft
Rating: TV-PG-LREVIEW: B-plus - usually I'm not much of a fan of the "three part stories" separated by the commercials (Homer and the movies; Homer with his jaw shut; Marge in the demolition derby), but the bit with Homer's jaw stood out, and the animation junkie in me liked the Popeye bit as well (right down to the music and Marge's flailing arms).
REFERENCES "Jaws" (title) Mike Tyson ("I would like to eat its children") "Absolutely Fabulous" (aka "Ab Fab" - "Fab Abs") "Jackass" (the human yo-yo stunt) "The Wind in the Willows" (Toad Hall) "The View" (the women on "Afternoon Yak" resemble some of them, especially the one who sounds like Barbara Walters) "Popeye" (when Homer drank the beer) Marlboro (the music when Homer rode in on the donkey) 9F03 (somebody swinging by teeth - in this case, Maggie) 4F22 (Duffman appears in Moe's) AABF20 ("D'oh" is spelled out)
DYN ...this is the second couch opening in black and white? ...at the parade, Maggie has a pink triangle balloon? ...in the Caribbean float, the pairings are male-female? ...the phone number on the movie screen is KLN-5555, which is 556-5555 - which could be a valid number somewhere? ...Smithers and Patty were "in the closet"? ...Homer spells it "D'oh!"? ...that's the most Maggie has "said" in quite a while? ...everybody else waltzed in a circle around Homer and Marge? ...when the Demolition Derby started, everybody started driving in a figure eight (and nobody hit anybody else while doing it)?
GOOFS / FREEZE FRAME / WHATNOT During WWII, the British really did call Sauerkraut "liberty cabbage" (they also called German Shepherd dogs "alsatians", something they still do today). "Three wars ago" would be WWII if you count Korea and Vietnam but not, say, Desert Storm.
Where did Maggie's bottle come from during the parade?
