Worst Episode Ever (A Simpsons Podcast)

It's a slippity-sloppity, flippity-floppity Worst Episode Ever, where Dan and Jack watch Season 18's Marge Gamer, which is coincidentally about Marge Simpson of "The Simpsons." Marge gets addicted to a World of Warcraft-like video game while Homer has his own wacky adventure coaching Lisa's soccer team. Since when does Lisa like soccer? Is Ronaldo the worst guest star voice on "The Simpsons" or a secret best? And how many elephants are in this damn room? All of this, plus our lack of soccer knowledge, our dead-on Sideshow Mel impression, and a general cavalcade of patented WEE nonsense!

Deleted scenes and outtakes from WEE #32 - Groophic and the Ghost, including discussions about (both) Seinfeld finales, Boston Common, and Dan and Jack's immediate reaction to the birth and death of Little Ghost Girl. Also, they ask if Behind the Laughter is a clip show and Dan Frere Jacques the 80s film Flash Gordon.

Groophic and the Ghost

Some BODY once told us that Season 11's Behind the Laughter would be a great episode for Worst Episode Ever... so we watched it! Yes this extended parody of VH1's "Behind the Music" first aired 15 years ago (and slightly more than 15 years since Dan & Jack went to go see the Norm MacDonald bomb Screwed). It's basically a mockumentary looking at an alternate reality Simpsons family, and it's one of the least confusing things going on in today's episode. Would this have worked as a series finale for "The Simpsons?" Do people today even remember "Behind the Music?" (Does it matter for enjoying this episode?) And was this a record for how quickly the show fell apart? Plus, Groophic makes a new friend, the ghost of a child that Jack murdered who may or may not be real.

A Special WEEdition recorded on our lunch breaks almost immediately after hearing the news that Harry Shearer is (might be? hopefully is not?) leaving The Simpsons. What might the show do if he really leaves? What does the long term future hold for the Simpsons? And how did we cram in a tangent about Superman Returns into such a short episode? (#notmyjorel) All that, plus returning guest Nick Noga and a mysterious ghost child from the future...?

This week Jack and Dan watch Season 26's Bart's New Friend, based on a spec script written by very famous man Judd Apatow in the early 90s. When Homer is hypnotized into being a ten year old boy, he and Bart become good friends... and that's kind of it. It's a simple plot and it (mostly) works. Who here hates stacked parking? How great is it to see a childlike non-jerk Homer just play with a dog? And what is the antithesis of hypnotism? All that, and bee plots, super soaker drones, what waters Jack's mouth and when it's time to go to war.

Basically a whole second episode, so if you normally skip these, check it out. It's deleted scenes & outtakes from episode 30, Frere Jacquing, that the Illuminati don't want you to hear--including lengthy conversations about the show's treatment of Homer's alcoholism, the stadium sequence, Burnsification, the opening theme and couch gag, as well as an overview of the first thirty episodes WEE watched and what role experimentation plays​ in the post-classic era. Also, Jack chastises Dan and special guest Brice for getting distracted by a helicopter shortly before getting distracted by a helicopter

Our Thirtyversary brings returning guest Brice Canedo-Pullan (the Grover Cleveland of WEE guests) and our very first Season 22 episode, Love is a Many Strangled Thing. When Homer makes Bart pee himself at a football game, he visits Paul Rudd and Kareem Abdul Jabar to rid himself of his desire to strangle Bart. Sure. Why not. What's the deal with this episode's completely insane story structure? Is he Paul Rudd or Paul Blandd? Will WEE ever get published on time? (Actually, we're switching to Thursday releases from now on.) Plus, the official Dalek theme music, more talk about Stephen King's The Stand, and yes, a little bit more Groophic. This one went so long that our usual deleted scenes is probably going to be a second full episode. That's either thanks for your patience or punishment for your complaining.
