The Simpsons - "MoneyBART" - Talkback [10/10]

[faithcopeland]

Yep, they referenced Homer at the Bat here.

 

[elserge1]

Haha, the Huffnagel Autocorator. Haven't seen a good "Mr. Burns and his ancient machinery" gag for a while.

 

[madieg]

Not since Bart and Lisa were on the hockey team together many moons ago.

I'm glad they referenced the radiation poisoning.

"It gave me super management powers." Lol.

 

[Anitaaaaaa]

I loved Ralph "i didn't know what I put in my body" line. Ralph is juiced.

I am glad they did mention the radation posioning. .

 

[The Schwa]

What about the Tennis episode?

 

[Olyvardos-3]

Fine, it was an ok episode but I hope we don't have another Lisa episode next week :shrug:

 

[valentin p]

Don't worry about that, since there's no Simpsons the next three weeks due to baseball.

 

[jesska gee!]

Next episode will be the annual Treehouse of Horror special. One of the subplots is a Twilight spoof featuring Lisa falling in love with a vampire voiced by Harry Potter's Daniel Radcliffe.

We'll also be getting an episode in November titled "Lisa Simpson, This Isn't Your Life" that preceded Elementary School Musical in production.

So yes, there will be plenty more Lisa goodness for you soon.

 

[collegestudent247]

Why all the Lisa episodes suddenly??

 

[totaldamnation]

For the lhree most recent episodes and "Lisa Simpson, This Isn't Your Life": these are holdovers from the previous season (I take it the Simpsons writers were on a Lisa binge when planning the last batch of MABF episodes).

For the THOH story focusing on Lisa: Obviously, the Simpsons writers are trying to capitalize on the success of the Twilight films here.

 

[mrmichaeltheking]

Great episode :anime:
My favorite part is Maggie beating Lisa at fencing XD

 

[krisdds426]

What the heck is the episode title a reference to?

 

[Rhuby]

Another Lisa stinker, but there was a couple of gags I enjoyed. Namely Ralph getting juiced, Maggie's fencing skill,s and the Homer at the Bat reference.

Oh yeah, and the team chanting "Conflicted! Conflicted!" and "Resolved! Resolved!"

 

[baby gurl..xx]

That intro was apparently directed by Banksy, a provocative anti-establishment British artist. He's known for very political graffiti in public places. It's pretty brave of the Simpsons to let him have a hand at it.

[Someone Secretly Hidden]

I thought it was an underground Simpsons doll and DVD factory!

 

[Andreaboy]

When the NABF## episodes come Lisa will be very absent and brief I hope and is there going to be an MABF22 or did they only produce 21 MABF episodes?

 

[agracc]

A book called MoneyBALL. Look it up, it'll make sense.

 

[aamh05]

I was creeped out by the opening sequence, so if that was this Bansky's intention... he did a good job.

So being a good baseball manager means you have to be a nerd? Maybe so, but I think Bart taught Lisa the ultimate lesson... that you can't rely on statistics and calculations all the time and have to take a chance once in awhile. It failed in the Capital City game, but hey, that's what you risk taking chances. And it's a good risk.

Also, loved Ralph getting too juiced and Mike Scioscia returning and getting a callback ('radiation poisoning'). Enjoyable episode overall.

 

[Streeta J]

Saw it. It was good, I enjoyed it. Not as good as Loan-a Lisa, but better then "Musical". Some highlights:

*The couch gag, which weas pretty depressing
*Burns' calculator
*Underpants dinner!
*Maggie beating Lisa at fencing
*Moe getting annoyed by geniuses
*Do alligators alligate? IDK, yes. I'M SCARED!
*Raplh juiced
*Wacky faces!
*CONFLICT RESOLVED! CONFLICT RESOLVED!

So overall, an 8.5 more or less...I CAUGHT A WHITE APPLE!

 

[worldufospace]

It's too bad the couch gag was the only redeeming thing in the episode.

As for the review, I agree a with this guy.
