Another Lisa ep? This is like the third this season, ain't it?

Man, I remember when Bart was getting this treatment.

I understoond Bart getting that treatment cuz he was popular in the 90's but I remember Lisa being least liked these days, so I don't know why she's getting so many episodes? I'm getting sick of it. Marge playing favorites is horrible too, great.

 

[MetroSparkster]

I had a feeling they make fun of BP.

Krusty (sacastically): We're sorry for those poor pelicans...

 

[Kevin]

I actually laughed when Homer kept going "Doh!" whenever we got the wrong figurine.

 

[Rick Jones]

It's so weird that they still do so many Itchy & Scratchy gags. Is there anything new or funny they can do with Itchy & Scratchy ?

 

[trance2009]

That gas gag was one of the funnier things I've seen on the show.

Glad to see Bart getting a subplot, which I hope they acknowledge as a throwback to Bart the General.

 

[quack-up]

This is turning out to be the worst episode of the season thus far IMO.

 

[chalmers]

Hey cool, Bart made Nelson bleed his own blood! I remember the first time that happened...

And yeah, Krusty's voice is quite a bit off now. Listening to what is normally my favorite character from the show is now painful.

 

[DarthGonzo]

Homer making a cigar out of a Fruit Roll-Up and Big League Chew was one of the funniest dang things I've seen on this show in years.

 

[quack-up]

I gotta admit this was pretty funny:
Lisa: -BLAM!
Marge: You kids play nice up there!

The second act is redeeming the first act for me now

 

[DarthGonzo]

The second act break was hilarious.

"The 7 of clubs??"
"Ta-DAA!"

This episode is far funnier than it has any right to be.

 

[quack-up]

"Thank you four-eyes" was great.

 

[trance2009]

I don't wanna know what Marge did to that poor guy in there to make him change his mind.

 

[Edward15]

That cake line was very humorous as was that gag with Homer running in slow motion.
​

 

[Kevin]

How much are we willing to bet the academy turn out as good as Lisa was expecting?

 

[trance2009]

They're running over.

 

[quack-up]

I think a problem for the series is that they've been making political jokes in every episode since season 20, whether it be about Obama or BP. 25 years from now, will anyone remember the BP Oil Spill?

Overall, that was a good episode. Shouldn't have judged it so early. It's now my favorite of the season (thus far).

"Box-sucker"

Did they just go there?
