Not including the Treehouse of Horror, this is this season's second anthology story (after HABF01). It was funny enough in a general sense, but it didn't wow me. Actually, despite what Marge said (and convential wisdom), the middle story actually did seem the best, and actually the reprise of it at the end was a decent way to end the episode. Not really much to say this week, though.

DYN: ...ads for this episode included the title both visually and spoken? ...the couch gag (visually a repeat of GABF10's) uses alternate vocals again? (Random guy going "woo-hoo!" originally; "d'oh" and laughing from Homer now) ...Lisa seems to have no objection to eating at the Frying Dutchman? (Does it have a vegetarian alternative? Kelp?) ...Bart seems to think Easter Island and Tahiti are the same place?

Somewhat related note/filler On prostitutes/protestants... Have you ever said something weird by accident, just as a random disconnect between your brain and your tongue? And it's not embarrassing or revealing, just confusing, but it's already started to get processed by whomever you're talking to, and it takes way too long to correct yourself? Well, that joke in the episode reminded me of a time I heard a joke on the radio in about 7th grade, which involved a guy taking a woman home who turned out to be a prostitute, and "what did you expect, I'm a prostitute" was the punchline, but I didn't know what it meant, so I was asking my mom (of course); I knew that the word was "prostitute," but I filled in "Protestant" by accident when repeating it, and that just made no sense. Argh! And that's my story. Till next week!

Well, in Bart's defense, when the real-life crew of the Bounty got to Pitcairn island (not shown in the spoof, since Bart wrecked the ship's wheel and they went to Antarctica) there were some Easter Island-type heads there.

In a fit of anti-heathenism (a bit odd, since boffing girls from Tahiti didn't seem to offend their religious sensibilities) , they pushed the heads over the cliff into the ocean.
