For some reason I lauged out loud a lot during this episode. Lots of fun stuff.

-The "tot offensive" line

-When some characters from the Simpsons held up the sign of the new organization (why was the sea captain there? where does he fit in? seniors?)

-The anti-marge commercial was hilarious

-Homer's pro-marge attempt was funny

Other things I can't recall also made me chuckle. Of course not the best, but I definitely enjoyed it.

I thought the last line was funny about dropping the kids off at an R-rated movie and going to do something fun.

Or of the past 4 seasons.

I thought it was funny they opened with a crocodile hunter spoof with him being in the news.

The anti-Marge commercial and the tank pulling down the Itchy & Scratchy statue were good.

Started out strong, ended weak. I got a feeling that the writer looked at the script and realized that he had to end the show quickly.

Some great little gags, though.

That seems to be a fairly regular occurance when it comes to The Simpsons.

Tinky Winky "Not guilty!"

most of the funny stuff was at the beginning of the show, except for Homer's commercial and Ralph's "I love glue" line.

Very funny. And the attack on Raffi was just as funny. Plus the line about the police threatening a time-out.

The only thing missing was the original MILF hunter.

I liked the anti-Marge commerical.

The "Marge moral crusade" plot has been done to death.

This episode is a lot like some of the arguments we have over in the Other forum. People without kids there argue that parents should have become prisoners in their own homes and shouldn't take their kids out to any public places.

That's Ruffi, not Raffi heh. During the news update with the 4 topics on the right side, the bottom one was Raffi Denounces Ruffi

It had a few funny gags, but for the first time in several weeks I thought the overall episode pretty much sucked.
