What's wrong with "Homer the Moe" episode?

I though it was absolutely funny. First Moe's old teacher walks into that lake drowning himself, aahahhahaha, then, Homer shots Moe...OMG...that was so freaking funny. S Z ICE#: 125539067 Current ICQ status: + More ways to contact me i See more about me:

You just described two reasons it was bad.

It was still extremely humourous, and i think there were many funny moments, besides the two which you think made it "bad".

Before I speak, let me say that I loved season 13; I thought it was probably the best since Season 8, and had many episodes that go in line with the original classics. However, "Homer The Moe" was the exception. It was plotless, awkward, had bad jokes, and achieved nothing. It was a true triumph in a Scully piss-a-thon. The only redeeming part was some of the po-mo stuff, and that couldn't save this shipwreck.

plotless,

Scully

Probably because they've used the "Moe turns his bar into something else" crap twice already. First, "Flaming Moe's" and then later "Uncle Moe's Family Feedbag". I agree.. this episode was a dud.

Season 13 was pretty good though, compared to the last few previous seasons.

Po-mo?

There�s maybe one excellent line to describe "Homer The Moe" and the style of many bad episodes from the Scully era.

You'll never go broke appealing to the lowest common denominator... (from classic 7F19)

I always wonder if people mean stuff like that really serious. If they do, it�s IMO very sad.

[Here comes the old rambling again ;-)]

The Simpsons used to be an intelligent satire, a very smart show, a complex and subversive show that worked on various levels, a subtle show of intelligent dialogue humor and wit, a show that respected its truly threedimensional characters, a serious show and true character drama, a show of true balance, a show of real, smart and working plotlines and so on and so on (I said it so many times in all my texts and reviews.)

I�d say an "episode" like "Homer The Moe" spits on all that and is IMO (and thankfully not just IMO) a disgrace to the show and its past.

But I�ve said it all before. Every post about "Homer The Moe" is a sad post, maybe that�s why I always react so angry when I read one.

The comment reminds me of the guy who said the Simpsons are so much better now because they have no plot any longer. It�s sad, isn�t it?

I like comic books because they, you know, have pretty pictures and I don't have to think. Novels suck because you, like, have to think and stuff.

By the way, in case you can't tell, I'm being sarcastic. :)

Yeah ... who wants to have to go through the trouble of IMAGINING what the characters look like? You might be completely off!

I totally agree with you. The Simpsons aren't what they used to be, they should hawe stopped making new episodes instead of litterally killing the original spirit and athmosphere of the series. IMO, the Simpsons started to die at season 8 (approximatively), and since then, they gone worser and worser...

The picture of Moe aiming the shotgun right at you was great! Homer says something like, "if Moe was here, what would he do?", and turns to look at the picture.

Take you Sacajawea Silver Dollars and get out of here.

Now THATS sarcasm <nods>

i thought it was very funny when moe was talking about his alma mater, and said it was a good thing he put the picture up, since it really helps him make his point.
