Ok Simpsons writers, you hate the Iraq war. We got it from last week's Halloween episode (which was, incidentally, when Family Guy aired their "join the army" story).
Regardless of politics, this ep was a fucking hackneyed mess. It's like they've abandoned all pretense of being funny anymore. And the trailer sucked.

How the hell can that even be considered a movie trailer?

Decent episode... horrible trailer. The 'rock and a hard place' gave me somewhat of a chuckle, but you shouuldn't base a whole trailer off of that. It didn't seem like footage from the movie... have they even started yet? 
I also had no idea that was Keiffer untill the end of the episode... random appearance. At least he wasn't playing himself.

I was at Home Dépot last night and happened to pass by their plasma TV playing what I thought was a new Simpsons episode. As I thought "Yup, this show is still horrible." the info came up for the movie. Damn, I was really hoping the movie would step up from what the show is nowadays but if that's how they're advertising it, I better not risk giving it a chance.

I agree that this was a weak episode, although the Looney Tunes homage was OK. I also agree about the trailer being pretty pointless.
I knew it was him, but if I didn't know he was in the episode I would not have known it by the character's voice. Sounded different.

During the end credits, the drill instructor anounces "INFANTRY" after each name pops up. Then he says "COAST GUARD" when Kiefer Sutherlands name comes up, then he says something else when Danny Elfman's name comes up. What did he say?

First segment was decent (army commercial spoof was pretty good) and got my hopes up, but the rest was just atrocious. I hated the drone sequence; I don't want to see stuff like that on The Simpsons, but I guess the current producers do, so tough titties for me. Anyway, if you can't get a laugh out of a Ralph appearance, just tear up your script and shoot yourself.
By the way, why should the show "take shots at all sides"? So that particularly sensitive viewers don't have their feelings bruised?
