Homer explains to the judge why he did it. The video is very persuasive, and moves Homer, and this reviewer, to the epiphany: “Wow maybe I’ve been wrong all along about evil.” Burns’ best delivery is his “who are you?” greeting to Del Toro, as if he didn’t pay for the whole thing. At birth, Monty’s own mom didn’t want to suckle him and he was raised by a pet gorilla, who also attended his most important functions. Frankenstein, or even the one from the Black Lagoon, but he is a monster. Burns may not be as lovable as the creature brought to life by Dr. The director grew up loving monsters, from King Kong to Godzilla and all the little Godzillas. The best sequence is the Montgomery Burns mitigation video directed by Guillermo del Toro. These can be made surprisingly cheap, but not by Gil, whose hands shake as a cameraman. The plaque on the front of the court building reads “With Justice for Most.” This is evident from the arrest, where Homer is taken away on a motorcycle holding on to Chief Wiggums’ stomach, to the trial, where a judge can be emotionally blackmailed by mitigating factor videos. The legal system in Springfield is an elastic thing. One that can land Homer in a real prison where even the Chaplin has seen and done things he’s not proud of. It takes Comic Book Guy, a man with an IQ of 170, to explain the legalistic reason, grand theft auto, a lousy game but a real criminal charge.

As Homer shows the kids what cars used to be able to do, until he tries to put the top up and the car starts to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, she puts her objection on record with a “This is morally wheeee.” That split from admonition to the surrender of glee is at the heart of why we continue to identify with the Simpsons kids. Lisa knows instantly this is an ethical dilemma, and delivers a definitive Simpsons solution. Homer’s dream car: A 1957 Cadillac Eldorado convertible with leather seats that can melt your ass, and an exhaust so toxic it’s got an ozone layer hole named after it. And then he gets a magical opportunity dropped in his lap, which would also be the cup holder in it. The episode opens with Homer almost giving the moral lesson of never taking advantage of someone else’s mistake. Homer drives the point home when he tells Bart, Lisa and Maggie to put this on the list of things we don’t tell your mother, a including that there is a list. This sequence foreshadows her coming to his aid with an almost transcendent head-slap.

The car was very special to Comic Book Guy, the epitome of a collectors’ car for a true collector, and he is a man who doesn’t throw anything away. Homer takes the kids on a joyride in Comic Guy’s car after hustling a fancy French restaurant to feed them expensive food, but not let them breathe the ambiance. Tonight’s scenario fits Comic Guy perfectly. It is also why he works in surprising ways.Ĭomic Book Guy, voiced by Hank Azaria, has a wealth of quirks, mostly saved for background material, that haven’t been plundered, which might open a portal to a Sea Captain outing.
