It’s easy to forget the absolute grasp this movie had on the summer of 2007. Simpson-mania made its triumphant return in full force. Every kid I knew was singing Spider-Pig like it was the pinnacle of comedy. I always did wonder why they got Hans Zimmer to do the music, when Danny Elfman wrote the theme originally. Maybe he was just too busy.
Apparently, producer James L. Brooks chose Hans Zimmer to compose the film's score, as they were good friends and regular collaborators. Zimmer felt that the score was a "unique challenge," and he had to "try and express the style of The Simpsons without wearing the audience out."
Yeah, that's the thing about later season "Jerkass Homer." It was supposedly in the early "show bible" that he's a golden retriever - dumb, gluttonous, silly, but *loves* his family and is generally good-natured.
Jerkass Homer is sort of rose-tinted glasses view of older seasons. There were plenty of jerkass Homer moments in early Simpsons too. A big one is "When Flanders Failed" (S03E03) when Homer is enjoying Flanders business failing up through losing his house. While he turns around at the end, this still falls waaay outside of the "golden retriever" behavior
To Answer your question: "Nome, sweet Nome." The city of Nome is located on the southern Seward Peninsula coast on Norton Sound of the Bering Sea. It had a population of 3,699 recorded in the 2020 census, up from 3,598 in 2010. Nome was incorporated on April 9, 1901. It was once the most-populous city in Alaska.
And "Nome" - as a name- might have been a result of a misreading of what was on a map. There's a note reading "Name?" on a map of this part of Alaska - and the "a" might have been mistaken for the letter "o". /Alaska resident
I live in Eastern Europe, the first time Mountain Dew appeared on the shelves was like 2010s (and it was reallly overpriced). I bought it for the hype and just to taste it and went "wow, this tastes like Sprite mixed with piss".
@@CrowTRobot There was going to be a Simpsons movie made around the early seasons of the show at the time, but the ideas often ended on the show itself (the Kamp Krusty episode is a noted one).
The wild animals recoiling in horror at them doing the deed struck a primal nerve with me, and I haven't laughed so hard in a theater before or since. I was in tears and struggling to breathe.
Marge vs the monorail is known for being one of the best episodes of the Simpsons ever. The fact it was written by Conan O’Brien makes it that much better haha I saw this movie in theaters. It’s deff one of my favorites. It’s basically a long Simpsons episode! I hope Simone enjoyed it as much as we all did when we Simpson fans saw it for the first time back in 2007.
The first airing of the monorail episode was cancelled in Sydney, Australia, as the government was in the process of bringing in its own monorail system (which after a couple of decades was torn down and replaced with a slightly less useless tram system).
Oh god, it just occurred to me that 2007 (the year the Simpsons movie came out…and the year I graduated high school) is almost exactly halfway between now and 1989 (the year of the Simpsons 1st season…and the year I was born). Ugh, in addition to making me feel rather old, realizations like this always send me into a state of extreme depersonalization, which is never fun - on the contrary, it’s always deeply uncomfortable.
As somone who was raised on the S-tier Simpsons era, I can safely this movie is pretty dang good and holds up. Also Bart’s naked skateboarding stunt still brings me to tears.
Otherwise known as the Amélie cure, we need monotone gnomes to roam all over Nome with our phones for Simone. (And George) Four out of five recently polled doctors say we need to share likenesses of them posted at various points throughout this Alaskan city immediately to cheer them up or the jaundice could be permanent.
I went to one of the 7 Eleven "Kwik-E-Mart" locations on 42nd Street in Manhattan. They didn't just have the pink donuts, but they also sold boxes of Krusty-O's cereal and plastic Squishee souvenir cups. I had one of the cups but unfortunately lost it.
They changed a lot for the movie for that reason. It honestly didn't feel too much like the simpsons. Even the humor was pretty different from the show. Lots of characters acted different, too. Like, not like themselves.
Remember that in the peak years, the writers were incredibly talented and well educated/trained. The classical Greek idea of hamartia (missing the mark) was built into Homer. We loved him not bc he was a jerk, but because he tried and then failed. His effort was genuine. He was just his own worst enemy.
The show started to drift after Conan left The first couple years I wasn’t able to watch because we didn’t get a fox TV signal. Then it became a mandated, must be home Sunday show. About and out about 12-15 year in the run it started to drift and I haven’t watched it in years
the kwik-e mart promo was so fun, there was always a line to get in and it was decked out from top to bottom and inside out to look like the one from the show.
Nome is a city in Alaska that's somehow famous even though it has a population of less than 4,000. My father used to say they got that name because, before Alaska became a state, a federal worker tasked with assigning official names to each settlement came up with a blank and wrote "Name?", but his As looked like Os. 😁
Trivia: Simpsons started as shorts on the Tracy Ullman Show. The monorail ep. was satirizing old musical film The Music Man. Itchy & Scratchy are loosely a hardcore version of Tom & Jerry cartoons.
I like that history joke where Ned sais" I don't want to be a nervous pervis" Melvin Pervis was the FBI agent that took down John Dillinger who was known to be extremely anxious and uptight.ha ha ha
one of my core memories was seeing this in the cinema and one of my older sisters (who wasn't overly phased about the simpsons) crying laughing at "the boob lady" scene, i'm talking hysterics to the point where people were laughing at her laughing like a chain reaction; it was priceless, something similar happened in the first harry potter where she was the only person (perhaps in the world) to audibly scream at the face scare coming out of the book in the restricted section; people were cracking up for about 5 minutes
I am one of those older Simpsons fans that stopped watching regularly before this movie came out, but they still managed to make a pretty good movie. And it was back then to actually see it on the movie screen!
A great joke is in the intro to the first episode of the season after this where Boob Lady Shows up and Marge asks who is that Homer says she was his therapist
29:28 George, to be clear, Family Guy was definitely NOT built around Peter being mean. He started off just like Homer. He was an oaf that loved his family and made mistakes and fixed them by the end of the episode, very similar to Simpsons. It wasn't until later seasons of Family Guy, especially with the reboot in Seasons 4+ where he had begun his mean streak. Then again, you may argue that seeing as it's over 20 seasons on that it's very much based on that now. Though, it may be said that it was probably The Simpsons inspiring Family Guy in that aspect.
When I first saw this in the theater I really didn't find it to be all that great. Years later upon rewatching it I have found a new appreciation for it.
Yeah, I remember being slightly underwhelmed when it first came out. Now I think the jokes were always funny, so what probably didn't grab me the first time was the plot. It was fine, but I don't think The Simpsons needs "stakes" to work. I would've been just as happy to watch all the characters just screw around for 90 minutes.
I was 6 or 7 when this movie came out and I remember everyone at school being excited for it and ENDLESSLY quoting the Spider-Pig part (me included) and just dying of laughter. Great memories.
Simpsons golden years for me was S3-9ish, mostly because on Sky in the UK they would show at least one ep per day at the right time in the evening, every joke hits and is perfect, quotable etc. Then talk about that ep with mate at work :) "Think about it!" "I will" "Noo you won't"
You guys do some AMAZING Thumbnails. I've never mentioned that on any channel but once I saw that Thumbnail I HAD to officially compliment you guys on that level of creativity and artwork. I couldn't ignore that or just let that pass. Again EXCELLENT Thumbnail.
The beginning of the episode after the movie was great. They leave a movie showing and bart wants to see another and Marge says something like "one movie is enough for the Simpsons"
Americans think Canadians are the Flanders, btw. Also, if the Simpsons goes even one more season, this movie will be exactly in the middle of the run. The Simpsons run is not really in sight, however.
What was really powerful to me was your reaction to how Ned was being a compassionate, patient and understanding figure to Bart. Imagine having a parent and spouse who is a selfish, callous, and egocentric FUCK-UP to their kids and family, like Homer was to Bart and the family, that I feels like night and day when you are with someone who shows you even the slightest sense of love and compassion. That’s just straight up heartbreaking. 💔
I remember they had the coolest marketing campaign where they transformed 7/11 locations into the Kwik-E-Mart. My dad took me to one and I remember the Simpsons donut tasting so good
Its interesting seeing the opinion of someone unfamiliar with the show because I am part of the era that grew up with the Simpsons and even though this movie released during the decline of the show, a lot of the fans were somewhat underwhelmed by the movie Also the Spiderpig joke was used in all the marketing and was repeated so seen so many times before the movie was even released that when it got to that part in the movie everyone was quiet with the odd awkward overly enthusiastic laugh here or there, the perfect example of a film using its best joke in the trailer
Underwhelmed? I was a MASSIVE Simpsons fan (as well as some of my friends). We saw a midnight screening of the movie. The theater was packed and, when it was over, people clapped. When Maggie said "Sequel?" The crowd went nuts. The movie was quite loved amongst all The Simpsons fans I spoke too. It was huge at the time. I didn't hear anyone really express any disappointment in the movie. Also, in my theater, everyone sang along with "Spiderpig".
I was working at a 7-11 in Ellensburg, WA when this movie came out. We weren't one of the stores selected to change, but holy $&%#, the amount of Simpsons merchandise that we had was unbelievable.
I went to the Kwik-E-Mart here in Seattle. I remember getting some Buzz Cola and some Krusty O's. I was watching the first episode - Santa's Little Helper - and have rarely missed an episode. I still watch weekly, and I believe the quality has improved the past couple of years. Hey! They have the internet on computers now!
I still randomly think of the Sop, Yeld and One Vey signs; making me randomly laugh in public. I also voice the going mad with power line, usually at work ;)
I highly recommed, Saban's Power Rangers (2017 Movie). Saban's Power Rangers follows five ordinary teens who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove - and the world - is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so, they will have to overcome their real-life issues and before it’s too late, band together as the Power Rangers. Also, this movie is wayyyy darker then the kid show power rangers.
My friend did the Simpsons side-spin on the ground when she smoked Salvia. It was legal at the time and you could buy it in stores. I tried it twice, that shit is nuts haha it only lasts a few minutes, but feels like a lifetime.
In the original script, Marge was going to have the vision in church. However, it was changed when the crew felt it would make more sense for the family to be ignoring Grandpa than Marge. And the script for the voice work was to be kept so secret that the producers personally shredded the script after every voicing session.
Can imagine all the writing talent working on this movie, trying to come up with a basic plot and then filling it with almost non-stop clever jokes and gags that "Simpsons" fans have enjoyed and come yo expect for many years. If you're laughing, chuckling and smiling a lot when you watch it, they did their job well.
_Agreed!_ I laughed harder at jokes and gags from kid's shows more as an adult than as a kid. There's a gag where Uter literally gets beaten to death off camera and it makes me cry laugh. Also, same episode, "Those white flags are no match for our muskets!" Followed by a brutal onslaught of defenseless people begging for their lives. Peak Simpsons.
Oh yeah, for sure. You pick up on some more things. Some episodes of Scooby Doo crack me up as an adult. The one episode where Scooby says ‘‘spooooky’’ about the darkness beyond a door and then Shaggy says, ‘‘Did you really have to say it like that?!’’ 😄
I always considered this my series finale; I caught glimpses of later episodes, but when I noticed jokes I knew by heart being explicitly recycled, I decided I wanted to remember my youth with the Simpsons fondly.
Highly recommend the two parter "A Serious Flanders" from some of the recent episodes. It's genuinely one of the more interesting recent episodes. (I know that doesn't say a lot but it's well worth it and this is coming from someone who watched the Simpsons in the beginning)
@@insertgenericusernamehere2402 That one is a fun homage to the Coen Brothers, really nicely done. If anyone here is curious: it's season 33, episode 6 & 7.

I was in my early 20s when The Simpsons began. There was a national mania about it but I never got hooked on the show. It's always been rather amusing when I came across it but I've never sought it out. It's referenced so much and clipped into everything so often, I feel like I know half of it anyway.
I remember when this came out, we went to Germany and it was HUGE there. It was the Summer of Spiderschwein. All the metal fests that year, you could hear "SPIDERSCHWEEEEEEIN" Spiderschwein, spiderschwein, macht was immer ein spiderschwein macht...
My funniest memory for this movie is my dad being so excited for the Spider-Pig bit, but ended up picking that EXACT moment to go to the theater bathroom. Then, since he already missed it, he ended up going to the bathroom again, only to miss the Spider-Pig dream sequence, which he thought we made up to fuck with him.
I'm an early 90s kid so I grew up on the 80s and 90s Simpsons. I'm pretty sure I went to watch this in the cinema, and I remember going to the new ride at Universal soon after. It still feels like it's not that old, so every time I remember how old this movie is I get a little jumpscared.
15:00 "Their middle finger is more accurate than ours?" They got 4 fingers We have 5 fingers Ours is the MIDDLE finger ("All thumbs are fingers but not all fingers are thumbs")
I loved Tracey's 1980s variety show on Fox, it was so good with great sketches and singing and guest stars. It will sadly never be on streaming or disc because they performed so many pop/rock songs over the course of the series.
Yeah, I remember visiting the only Kwik-E-Mart in Canada at the time with my kids. In fact my company produced all the Buzz Cola for that promotion. Fun times! 😁
This film had the single best reaction of an audience I've ever witnessed in a movie theatre. I went with over 20 other people and the entire cinema was packed to the rafters with Simpson's fans, who loved this film completely. The fact that Arnold Schwarzenegger is president is because at the time he was governor of California, and really wanted to be president but the laws don't allow an immigrant to be elected to that role. This movie also marked an update in the Simpson's animation style to the modern one we see today, as well as a new Renaissance in the show itself.
@@treetopjones737 actually, he enjoyed support from across party lines and was liked by Democrats and Republicans. His politics is far more centrist and his actions in office proved that, as he is more "Purple" than "Red" or "Blue."
He has redeemed himself in recent years, including speaking out against Trump and put out a video this year pushing people to let go of their bigotry, but he DID used to march lock step in endorsing repub ideology, he did nothing to stop Prop. H8 becoming law for example.
The Alaska resident dividend is a real thing. The revenues from oil production are what allow Alaska to not have a state income tax or sales tax and residents get a $1000 dividend each year.
I watched this movie so much when I was younger, I could recite it word for word. I still drop quotes from it into my daily life. It might not be peak Simpsons, but it's good for what it is.
When I was a kid my family would go skiing in the winter, I didn't like it but was too young to stay home. So I would hang out in the ski lodges all day, and I remember I must have watched this movie 2 dozen times on my portable DVD player 😎
Incase you missed the intro: this is new to only Simone.
I always like guessing the ones that George has already seen. This one was possibly the easiest 😂
I honestly can not believe she hasn’t seen the Simpson’s they are the ideal American family

It’s easy to forget the absolute grasp this movie had on the summer of 2007. Simpson-mania made its triumphant return in full force. Every kid I knew was singing Spider-Pig like it was the pinnacle of comedy.
I always did wonder why they got Hans Zimmer to do the music, when Danny Elfman wrote the theme originally. Maybe he was just too busy.
Fun Fact: According to a TikTok by Danny Elfman's daughter, Mr. Elfman scribbled out the theme song quite quickly and doesn't even like it.😯
Apparently, producer James L. Brooks chose Hans Zimmer to compose the film's score, as they were good friends and regular collaborators. Zimmer felt that the score was a "unique challenge," and he had to "try and express the style of The Simpsons without wearing the audience out."
Or why not Alf Clausen from the regular show score?
Yeah, that's the thing about later season "Jerkass Homer." It was supposedly in the early "show bible" that he's a golden retriever - dumb, gluttonous, silly, but *loves* his family and is generally good-natured.

They also brought back at least some of the old writers, who left seasons ago, for the movie. It shows ^^

Yeah, it has some good jokes in it, but it's pretty underwhelming. Especially the wanted poster, that punchline was telegraphed from 4 miles away
Underwhelmed? I was a MASSIVE Simpsons fan (as well as some of my friends). We saw a midnight screening of the movie. The theater was packed and, when it was over, people clapped. When Maggie said "Sequel?" The crowd went nuts. The movie was quite loved amongst all The Simpsons fans I spoke too. It was huge at the time. I didn't hear anyone really express any disappointment in the movie.
Also, in my theater, everyone sang along with "Spiderpig".
"I taped this over our wedding video" will never not make me tear up 😢
1:44 wow that’s a pretty good impression of Ralph. 1:52 between Seasons 18 & 19.
I was working at a 7-11 in Ellensburg, WA when this movie came out. We weren't one of the stores selected to change, but holy $&%#, the amount of Simpsons merchandise that we had was unbelievable.
I went to the Kwik-E-Mart here in Seattle. I remember getting some Buzz Cola and some Krusty O's. I was watching the first episode - Santa's Little Helper - and have rarely missed an episode. I still watch weekly, and I believe the quality has improved the past couple of years. Hey! They have the internet on computers now!
Homer grabbing at the wind screen making that rubbery sound is one of the funniest bits ever
1:42 Fantastic impression Simone! 😁
My favorite thumbnail yet.
the thumbnail has me DEAD hahahnah
Rumor has it that Spider-pig was the radioactive pig that bit the spider that became Peter Porker…
I still randomly think of the Sop, Yeld and One Vey signs; making me randomly laugh in public.
I also voice the going mad with power line, usually at work ;)
Every time I see a yield sign😂😂
If you think the celebrity is talking, it probably is that celebrity. The number of cameos on that show...
I'm glad you said you are Canadian, i really cared about that.
I highly recommed, Saban's Power Rangers (2017 Movie). Saban's Power Rangers follows five ordinary teens who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove - and the world - is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so, they will have to overcome their real-life issues and before it’s too late, band together as the Power Rangers. Also, this movie is wayyyy darker then the kid show power rangers.
My friend did the Simpsons side-spin on the ground when she smoked Salvia. It was legal at the time and you could buy it in stores.
I tried it twice, that shit is nuts haha it only lasts a few minutes, but feels like a lifetime.
In the original script, Marge was going to have the vision in church. However, it was changed when the crew felt it would make more sense for the family to be ignoring Grandpa than Marge. And the script for the voice work was to be kept so secret that the producers personally shredded the script after every voicing session.
Milhouse character is based off Paul from the 80s tv show The Wonder Years
Everything is coming up Milhouse!
Marge vs. the monorail is a hommage to the music man, which is a fun musical.
That episode was written by Conan O'Brien. Is there anything he can't do?
Can imagine all the writing talent working on this movie, trying to come up with a basic plot and then filling it with almost non-stop clever jokes and gags that "Simpsons" fans have enjoyed and come yo expect for many years. If you're laughing, chuckling and smiling a lot when you watch it, they did their job well.
I miss lazy homer. Where his dumb was out of him being lazy
"Take a walk with me, Homer."
"WALK!? Aaoow... That was never part of of the deal!"
I feel like cartoons you've seen as a child are funnier to you when you're an adult.
_Agreed!_ I laughed harder at jokes and gags from kid's shows more as an adult than as a kid.
There's a gag where Uter literally gets beaten to death off camera and it makes me cry laugh.
Also, same episode, "Those white flags are no match for our muskets!" Followed by a brutal onslaught of defenseless people begging for their lives. Peak Simpsons.
Oh yeah, for sure. You pick up on some more things. Some episodes of Scooby Doo crack me up as an adult. The one episode where Scooby says ‘‘spooooky’’ about the darkness beyond a door and then Shaggy says, ‘‘Did you really have to say it like that?!’’ 😄
The voice of Russ Cargill is Albert Brooks, who also voices Marlin in Finding Nemo
Kamp Krusty was originally going to be a movie but they couldn't figure out how to expand it to feature length.
18:32 Alaska actually does pay residents a cash tax rebate collected from oil companies.(it is only economically viable due to the low population.)
For what's its worth, the "Lemon Of Troy" episode is one of my favorites.
I always considered this my series finale; I caught glimpses of later episodes, but when I noticed jokes I knew by heart being explicitly recycled, I decided I wanted to remember my youth with the Simpsons fondly.
I stopped watching after the Homerpalooza episode that ended season 7. I've actually never seen the movie
Despite all its flaws, it's still better than Family Guy.
Highly recommend the two parter "A Serious Flanders" from some of the recent episodes. It's genuinely one of the more interesting recent episodes. (I know that doesn't say a lot but it's well worth it and this is coming from someone who watched the Simpsons in the beginning)
@@insertgenericusernamehere2402 That one is a fun homage to the Coen Brothers, really nicely done. If anyone here is curious: it's season 33, episode 6 & 7.
0:25 HEY! Thats just my aspirin! Chuck it out!!!!!! Youre checkkkkkk innnnnnnnnnnngggggggggg INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!" lol you guys rule for knowing that song
South Park has had a joke of "Simpsons already did it" for decades, but they managed to get their theatrical movie out first. I find that very funny.
For promotion when this came out we had a local 7-Eleven in Orlando Florida turned into a Kwik-E-Mart and it was awesome
I was in my early 20s when The Simpsons began. There was a national mania about it but I never got hooked on the show. It's always been rather amusing when I came across it but I've never sought it out. It's referenced so much and clipped into everything so often, I feel like I know half of it anyway.
_"That elephant ate my entire platoon..."_
You got me down a Simpsons rabbit hole on RUclips clips!
20:25 fun fact... most of Tom Hanks running in Forest Gump was actually Jim Hanks( Tom Hanks's brother) running
I remember when this came out, we went to Germany and it was HUGE there. It was the Summer of Spiderschwein. All the metal fests that year, you could hear "SPIDERSCHWEEEEEEIN"
Spiderschwein, spiderschwein, macht was immer ein spiderschwein macht...
The Spider-Pig meme was pretty big in America as well!
My funniest memory for this movie is my dad being so excited for the Spider-Pig bit, but ended up picking that EXACT moment to go to the theater bathroom.
Then, since he already missed it, he ended up going to the bathroom again, only to miss the Spider-Pig dream sequence, which he thought we made up to fuck with him.
An episode to recommend to Simmoan is The last exit to Springfield All time greatest episode.😊
Simone does a good impression of Ralph at the beginning of this movie.
Wow...The thumbnail is crazy good! If you've made that yourselves, thats some solid work!
I can remember when the Simpsons was introduced to the public as a movie intro in the theaters. 😀😀
I'm an early 90s kid so I grew up on the 80s and 90s Simpsons. I'm pretty sure I went to watch this in the cinema, and I remember going to the new ride at Universal soon after. It still feels like it's not that old, so every time I remember how old this movie is I get a little jumpscared.
George's three favorite episodes of the show are all good picks. I also would have included "Lisa's Substitute" and "Mother Simpson."
Are they three all-time favorites, though--- or a trio of solid episodes from different seasons to show a newbie?
just half an hour of Simone & George laughing. its just great!
15:00 "Their middle finger is more accurate than ours?"
They got 4 fingers
We have 5 fingers
Ours is the MIDDLE finger
("All thumbs are fingers but not all fingers are thumbs")
The early Simpsons with Angry Dad. Was based on short videos shown on the Tracy Ulman Show.
I loved Tracey's 1980s variety show on Fox, it was so good with great sketches and singing and guest stars. It will sadly never be on streaming or disc because they performed so many pop/rock songs over the course of the series.
18:44 i love watching oil wells. So peaceful. Beautiful areas too
I forgot to mention this the first time i watched this. There an orc in the angry mob.
Yeah, I remember visiting the only Kwik-E-Mart in Canada at the time with my kids. In fact my company produced all the Buzz Cola for that promotion. Fun times! 😁
This film had the single best reaction of an audience I've ever witnessed in a movie theatre. I went with over 20 other people and the entire cinema was packed to the rafters with Simpson's fans, who loved this film completely.
The fact that Arnold Schwarzenegger is president is because at the time he was governor of California, and really wanted to be president but the laws don't allow an immigrant to be elected to that role.
This movie also marked an update in the Simpson's animation style to the modern one we see today, as well as a new Renaissance in the show itself.
He wasn't a good governor.
@@treetopjones737 actually, he enjoyed support from across party lines and was liked by Democrats and Republicans. His politics is far more centrist and his actions in office proved that, as he is more "Purple" than "Red" or "Blue."
He has redeemed himself in recent years, including speaking out against Trump and put out a video this year pushing people to let go of their bigotry, but he DID used to march lock step in endorsing repub ideology, he did nothing to stop Prop. H8 becoming law for example.
🔔 SIMONE & GEORGE -> CHECK OUT: "The Simpsons 1950s Super Panavision 70"
🔔 (Y/T BLOCKED POSTING THE LINK, SORRY!)
The Alaska resident dividend is a real thing. The revenues from oil production are what allow Alaska to not have a state income tax or sales tax and residents get a $1000 dividend each year.
It’s not a set number and a portion of it has been stolen by state politicians over the last few years
I don't think I've ever seen Simone laugh so much before! Also, am I the only one who wishes they had made Hank Scorpio head of the EPA?
I watched this movie so much when I was younger, I could recite it word for word. I still drop quotes from it into my daily life. It might not be peak Simpsons, but it's good for what it is.
I have no idea why the Spider Pig bits are so funny. Once seen... never forgotten.
Don't forget that Homer started out mean, when always strangling Bart. He then followed the sitcom trend of the lovable oaf.
When I was a kid my family would go skiing in the winter, I didn't like it but was too young to stay home. So I would hang out in the ski lodges all day, and I remember I must have watched this movie 2 dozen times on my portable DVD player 😎
