Not including the Treehouse of Horror, this is this season's second
anthology story (after HABF01). It was funny enough in a general sense,
but it didn't wow me. Actually, despite what Marge said (and convential
wisdom), the middle story actually did seem the best, and actually the
reprise of it at the end was a decent way to end the episode. Not really
much to say this week, though.
DYN:
....ads for this episode included the title both visually and spoken?
....the couch gag (visually a repeat of GABF10's) uses alternate vocals
again? (Random guy going "woo-hoo!" originally; "d'oh" and laughing from
Homer now)
....Lisa seems to have no objection to eating at the Frying Dutchman?
(Does it have a vegetarian alternative? Kelp?)
....Bart seems to think Easter Island and Tahiti are the same place?
Somewhat related note/filler
On prostitutes/protestants... Have you ever said something weird by
accident, just as a random disconnect between your brain and your
tongue? And it's not embarrassing or revealing, just confusing, but it's
already started to get processed by whomever you're talking to, and it
takes way too long to correct yourself? Well, that joke in the episode
reminded me of a time I heard a joke on the radio in about 7th grade,
which involved a guy taking a woman home who turned out to be a
prostitute, and "what did you expect, I'm a prostitute" was the
punchline, but I didn't know what it meant, so I was asking my mom (of
course); I knew that the word was "prostitute," but I filled in
"Protestant" by accident when repeating it, and that just made no sense.
Argh! And that's my story. Till next week!

Well, in Bart's defense, when the real-life crew of the Bounty got to
Pitcairn island (not shown in the spoof, since Bart wrecked the ship's wheel
and they went to Antarctica) there were some Easter Island-type heads there.
In a fit of anti-heathenism (a bit odd, since boffing girls from Tahiti
didn't seem to offend their religious sensibilities) , they pushed the heads
over the cliff into the ocean.
