"I'm a unitard"

I liked the picture of the cat falling down the stairs.

I found it funny that there was an "Da Ali G Show" reference on The Simpsons, and a "Curb Your Enthusiasm" reference on Family Guy on the same night. It was HBO night on Fox!

Though the story was another recycled one, it was a pretty good episode overall.

What does Homer say at the end of the Ali G piece? Sounds like "butter brickle".

It was Chuck Mangione's "Feels So Good."

Wow, I wonder if "King of the Hill" ever boosted Chuck's sales like that.

"Marge, this is the most fun I've ever had giving you wood in our entire marriage" had me rolling on the floor.

I wasn't "rofl" but that line definitely helped me remember why, at one time, The Simpsons used to be considered funny and clever. Also enjoyed the cat on the stairs shot, although overall thought the story was weak (although not as terrible as the previous couple eps). But Homer driving the truck into the art pieces? Lame.

I thought that line was hilarious. I also got a good laugh outta the laughing picture and the cat falling down the stairs.

I also thought Da Ali G Show parody was good.
