Last Chance posted:Yeah and Woody Allen also just.. walks out of a drawn caricature of himself that an artist at an amusement park drew? I imagine there’s more to it than that, maybe some context in the episode, i don’t know. I do know for sure that the reason that drawing came to life is either really dumb or nonexistent. Could be a Purple Rose of Cairo joke?

FunkyAl posted:I think someone on staff might like west side story, the trump thing was also a west side story parody. While this may feel out of character, I wager it makes perfect sense as the only remaining running show from a generation of animators that really liked Gilbert and Sullivan. It's integrated marketing for the upcoming Spielberg remake of West Side Story, which is being distributed by Fox.

Hedgehog Pie posted:Yeah, I think there are quite a few fun cameos in classic episodes: Leonard Nimoy, Bob Newhart, the baseball players, Mel Brooks, Sting, Aerosmith, the three surviving Beatles, Tom Jones, Linda Ronstadt, Adam West, Barry White, everyone in Krusty Gets Kancelled, The Ramones, Ernest Borgnine, Conan O'Brien, James Woods, James Taylor, Buzz Aldrin, Mickey Rooney, everyone in Homerpalooza, and there's probably more I'm forgetting. Some of these added very little to the episodes overall, but still had at least one good joke. Joe Frazier arguing with Barney over who the greatest British Prime Minister was.

bitterandtwisted posted:The first half of the Mr X episode is good but I'd never heard of the Prisoner when I first saw it so I was left thinking "what the gently caress is this nonsense?" Yes, while I don't think the Mr. X episode is terrible, it leans very hard on the Prisoner stuff, in a way that's a forerunner of stuff like "this week we're just doing Game of Thrones".

The Prisoner is from 1967, and maybe is/was a bigger thing in the UK rather than the US? I think screenwriters really like it because it radically expanded what you could do in a TV show, particularly one that's ostensibly a genre show.

Halisnacks posted:While we are explaining golden era jokes, I have a kinda basic one I don’t get: when Marge is fantasising about being with a pirate and asks if his earring means he’s a pirate, and he says “Kinda”, is it just a 90s gay joke? That’s what I assume, but then he goes on to speak to her implying sexual interest, so I’m not sure. It is 100% the 90s gay joke.
