Oy! (review of Homer the Moe)

Between "After Chernobyl, my penis fell off," "I'm losing my horny," Homer's blood literally gushing out THOH style, and several other gross-out gags, this episode is the crudest ever, finally beating "Skinner's Sense of Snow." Also, while it is nice to see the "false start" plot style again, the Bart's hole plot ended too abruptly, and was really a cop-out (you could call it a plot hole). However, there was some nice meta-humor ("It's fortunate that I just put this picture here, as it illustrates my point nicely"). Also, I noticed some nice continuity. Last week, we saw Moe acting mean for no reason ("Yeah, now I rob people too"), and this week we find out why. I believe that this is the first time the Simpsons have done a story arc (Maude's death isn't really a story arc because it is open-ended and has no resolution). My grade is a B-/C+.

I didn't see this episode, but I think I'm glad I didn't. This is what I mean by the show becoming a third-rate "South Park." Scully's reign of terror is coming to an end at just the right time, I don't want to know what would happen to the show if he had stayed.

no

I thought death was pretty much a resolution to a lot of stuff!
