The interesting thing about Sneed’s Feed & Seed (Formerly Chuck’s) scene is that Homer’s car was made from Guatemala.

It was about as funny as Skinner saying “Aurora Borealis” to Superintendent Chalmers.

Personally, I thought that something as random as that made me laugh, for some reason.

It's because South America is not a place where you want your family car to be from.

I had a Sunday to do nothing so I took advantage of if and watched "Lisa's Belly."

It was shit like all Nu-Simpsons. Thankfully it wasn't actually some Health At Every Size bullshit, they mocked Patty and Selma for being shitty people. Still better than "The Great North" which I had to turn off.

Guatemala is in Central America though.


Kind of odd how of all the shorts in the episode, "Steamed Hams" is the one that became a big meme.

Not "Lisa Gets Gum in Her Hair" or "Apu In The Jolly Bengali" or "The McDonald's In Shelbyville"...

I recall irl pals in the day would cite "NO TIME TO COOK THEM, THEY WILL PLUMP IN MY STOMACH!" for extremely rapid food consumption.
but yeah the onlines didn't dig it so much

I presume its because the entire situation is kind of random to begin with. Why is Chalmers having dinner with Skinner? Chalmers basically has only ever shown very poorly hidden contempt for Skinner hasn't he?

Like I said, Zombie Simps "humor" is always like "THIS IS A JOKE AND HERE IS HOW IT IS FUNNY".

I find that's how a lot of modern adults treat pop culture. As a kid, you take things at face value and don't overanalyze everything.

Kid: "This is funny."
Adult: "This is funny, and here's a ten-page essay on why it's funny."

It is some sort of strange cope to make them "feel less childish" for liking things they think are "childish" instead of just liking what they like and telling others to fuck off. They are man-children pretending to be adults by making the things they like "DEEEPER" tm meanwhile I play a Kirby game and enjoy it because they are cozy and low stress games.

Also..KIRBY GO BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
 
IIRC, back when Yahoo! Answers was a thing, one question was "the ring came off my pudding can, what do".

Of course the top answer was "take my pen knife, my good man".
 
This is more futurama related but did you ever notice that when the professor's clone Cubert first appeared he was kinda an annoying little shit who did nothing but complain and point out how things on the show like light speed space travel, a smelloscope, and how much of a nutty inventor Farnsworth is? Right on down to where his catchphrase was practically "impossible?"

There's a good reason for that, He was originally David Cohen and the writer's response to mail from nitpicky science geeks who sent in letters saying almost the same thing, some of Cubert's dialogue from the episode is lifted from those letters. They quickly dropped this idea though when the response to cubert was, well what you'd expect the response to an annoying little shit on an animated series usually is.

I still refuse to believe Cubert was supposed to be 12
