Simpsons 11/23
 

liked the jab at brazil. other than that, pretty mediocre

this was full of zingers... [or is that heaters...]

from the Jimmy Page comment, to the Madonna "exchange"..

the only thing that annoyed me was the OVERUSE of guest stars..

other than that...it was pretty good.

"You turned into a turnabout!"

Pretty much terrible. I did like Homer's line about Canada.

the Mr. Bean comment was funny, as was the English version of the drive thru guy.

:up: for the comment about Brazil. :lol:

I thought it was pretty good.

Loved the Mr. Bean and Jimmy Page lines

Which Brazil line? The thing about monkeys?

I liked the sign: Harrods: We Make Keys.

Also, Prince Albert in a Can ;p

didn't watch it, nor will I watch it till like tomorrow. I figure the best way to go into it is not expect much and just enjoy it.

Yes. Back when the Simpsons episode where they went to Brazil, they made a comment on the show about monkeys. The Brazilian government wasn't too happy with it and asked for an apology.

There were quite a few humorous lines in there, especially the one about America acting best unilaterally.

Funny show. Enjoyed the pot shots at the Brits, but I could have done w/o the "gay scene."

I thought it was one of the funniest episodes I have seen in a long time, though I don't LOVE the Simpsons anyway. I mean, it's alright ;)

no plot, but it had alot of quick zingers, they almost go by too fast. Homers sister Abby was cool, I hope they bring her back sometime.

I also thought it was one of the best episodes in quite a while.

Had some pretty funny moments.

When Mr. Burns said "Smithers, guide me in" I laughed pretty hard.

I had a feeling about the "long lost sister" angle after Grampa's story. Maybe next season she can visit the USA.

When they were going around in circles on the British street I thought of European Vacation...Look kids- Big Ben, Parliament...

Overall not too bad. Plenty of good one-liners. I'm surprised how many guest voices they got for this one.

That wasn't actually Tony Blair was it. I hope not at least.

Yes it was.

Tony Blair (Voice of Himself) Jane Leeves (Voice of Edwina?) Evan Marriott (Voice of Himself) Ian McKellen (Voice of Himself) J.K. Rowling (Voice of Herself)

Thought that would have been the least of his "pressing issues" at the moment. oh well. How about Judi Dench? Was that her as well?

No.

According to this site, it takes 10 months from start to broadcast for a Simpsons episode. Given that, Blair likely recorded his part before more current "pressing issues".

And it probably took less than 10 minutes of his time to record. Even heads of state get to take breaks, eat, and sleep.

Great episode. My favorite line--"Wow! I can't believe we just met Mr. Bean!" I loved all of the cameos, especially JK Rowling's. Poor Sir Ian, though.

Excellent episode. Loved the Madonna bit at the end.
