Wasn’t expecting a new episode this week, but boy is it a nice surprise
It’s not casual racism for Homer’s line about the Japanese language, it’s just the joke that he mentions it while they’re berating one another lines of “What the hell were you thinking!?” and “You (@#&%!) idiots!”.
Yeah, I’ve always loved that line. Growing up, people would go, “Japanese is such a beautiful language! Say something in Japanese!” and I’d say a completely mundane sentence and it would be treated like poetry or something. Seeing Homer have that typical reaction to angry yelling was the funniest thing ever to me.
This episode is the only reason — to this day — that I’ve never tried fugu. I don’t want my heart exploding!
Good news, your heart won’t explode. You’ll just slowly suffocate as your muscles are paralyzed.
oh boy!

Larry King interviewing Stan Lee being described as the battle of the two mummies. YES! freakin hilarious!
