The Simpsons take a thumb, when a pinky would do.
Here is our review of The Simpsons season 26 episode 21.
Stupid Flanders, always being superior to Homer just because hes better in every way.
He has that ribbon book that gives him an answer for everything.
Neds turned so many cheeks he wont be able to sit down for two lifetimes.
Oh, excuse me, cant reference reincarnation because Jebus didnt teach that.
Or at least he did until the concept was pulled by revisionists.
Oh and dont get me started on how Marge feels about Flanders.
InThe SimpsonsBull-E, Marge takes on the bully pulpit and unleashes the horrors of a put-upon police force.
Marges anti-bullying crusade gives Springfields largest carte blanche to interpret who are lawbreakers.
Famous people, is there nothing they cant solve?

Albert Brooks always bringsThe Simpsonsup a notch in their game.
He has created some of the shows most memorable and beloved guest appearances.

But theres no need for remorse over that.
I always suspected that Johnny Mathis was hiding repressed rage beneath his radio-under-a-tunnel vocal cadences.
Ottos School Train trip subplot left childhood education on the tracks.
Im really glad Otto got that bug out of his ear and stomped the edumacational earwigs to death.
Bart learned a valuable life lesson, one that Louis C.K.
It doesnt make a lot of sense, but if both C.K.
and the Simpsons say it, it has to be true.
By the unregulated power invested in me, I declare this a winning episode.
The social commentary was interwoven into the fabric of the jokes and not worn on the sleeves.
The high point for me was Moes seven second bleeped curse.
It was enough to make Mrs. Lovejoy faint, so it had to be of biblical proportions.
I wonder how to find it on google thesaurus.
Hank Azaria plays Chief Wiggum and Moe Szysla.
Harry Shearer is Ned Flanders.
