According to the commentary, apparently this scene was controversial because it was one of the first time that the Simpsons just went completely cartoonish and unbelievable. It’s actually really fun to go to SNPP and read the capsules of the episodes in the so called “good seasons” of The Simpsons and see how much the people on the internet hated them from week to week. Pretty hilarious.

This queue situation with Tumblr is getting ridiculous. Let’s see if they’ve fixed it by the time this is set to post, 8am PST.

That Marge needs therapy (psychosomatic)
That Marge needs therapy (purely psychosomatic)
That Marge needs therapy
Lie down on the couch! (What does that mean?)
You’re a nut! (you’re a nut!)
You’re crazy in the coconut! (What does that mean?) 
That Marge needs therapy

…and so forth

Probably not weird that I call my pillow Marge and confess my hopes and fears into it. A little weird that it talks back, but not so weird I’ll stop.

“You know who”? Oh my god, Homer’s a deatheater!

I don’t know if deatheater is one word or two and I don’t feel like googling it.

As a kid I knew this was a joke, but I still thought it was like 90% of the reason everybody hated me. In retrospect, it was probably 95% I was a dick, 5% adults giving kids permission to be cruel.

Semi-related: in middle school I saw that movie Kids which can, at times, be so cruel.

I wish I could have the “Don’t push your luck!” people on retainer to shout that out whenever I don’t know when to stop.

“This group of relative strangers seems pretty receptive to the points I’ve made about the movie. Time to break out my unpopular political views.”
“Don’t push your luck! Don’t push your luck!”
“Good lookin’ out, faceless Springfield mob.” 

He doesn’t actually smoke, he just keeps that pipe to let everyone know how little Stern Lecture Plumbing cares about your leaky pipes.

I don’t ever say it, but I’m always thinking “I’m no Harvey Globetrotter, but…” whenver I say “I’m no [blank], but…”

So Marge is to blame for TMZ. Noted.
