We're jonesing for some tomacco and joining us in our time of need is Alexi from the band The Y Axes! How does watching a Zorro parody send all The Simpsons to a farm? How many times can Homer be crushed by a tractor? And what type of fruit tastes like grandma? All that and more in this week's newest podcast!

You’ve finally reached the episode that after watching live, I had to confront and accept the fact that I didn’t love the Simpsons anymore!

Professor Gascan

fun fact: in the Mexican dub of this episode, they put in a sizzling noise when Homer pours the hot butter on Marge's leg

Frank Grimes

Never really liked the framing device they used to get to the Tomacco plot, nor the ending, but everything in the middle is pretty golden. Always liked Lisa's quote about Homer being clever for naming an evil product

Bob may be right on that Zorro thing, but for me I’ve never seen One Piece and had no idea there was a Zorro in it at all. For me, it’s the “Z” carved into things or nothing.

Oh man, that second spyro game dates this episode to such a distinct period of time in my life. I am around 30 and did cut my teeth on, among many snes and arcade games, spyro and crash. This is honestly my peak viewing and possibly enjoyment of simpsons as a kid. I liked when homer got mad and cursed and this is the beginning of jerk ass homer that I frankly find very funny. I had been watching simpsons live since I think around who shot mr burns, thats my earliest memory anyway. My mom didnt like me watching the show, but it was my dad and I's secret bonding show. By this point tho I am pretty sure my mom had given up trying, and I distinctly remember playing Spyro for days on end, but always stopping from 6 to 730 to catch the syndicated reruns on my local fox channel, usually broken up my an episode of sienfield or (later on) this weeks new Malcolm in the middle in between the two simpsons episodes. I think I would follow this habit of coming home from school, gaming, and stopping to watch simspons reruns/jeopardy every night I didnt have work until I left home for college.

You say the earlier critic episode is the one Lisa episode this season, but there is The Last Tap Dance in Springfield coming up. Get ready for all the tappa tappa tappa.

Frank Grimes

I know you guys were joking..but a WACM on bad films would be pretty fun...I wouldn't mind seeing the TS/WAC treatment on stuff like Bee Movie, Norm of the North, Food Fight, etc. Probably would be torture though...or possibly the shortest WACM episode ever, haha.

Burt Stanton

Love the glove slap from this episode, but I gotta say there was some pretty offensive ketchup snobbery from the panel. 😁

Marge certainly gets dumped on quite a bit in this episode, but I also think some of the digs on her were also digs against mincemeat pies: the absolute worst of the pies. I had an aunt who liked canning things for some reason and I remember she gave us a couple of jars of mincemeat filling. Anytime I opened the cabinets for some snacks I saw what looked like two jars of diarrhea staring back at me. Those jars were never opened and at some point wound up in the trash. No one was willing to dump 'em and rinse 'em to put in the recycling. I'm a little surprised at some of the hate that seems to get directed at this episode. Season 11 is pretty uneven, though I think it's much better than 10, but is at its best when the plot is just joke after joke and there's a sense of chaos. This episode certainly qualifies as the setup is ludicrous as are basically all of the devices that advance the plot. "Tastes like Grandma" might be the line of the season. There's some garbage to come this season, but I never considered this episode among the trash.

Tractor flipping is how Jim Traficant died! Moving the handbrake wasn't enough to help him

I regret to inform you that there is, in fact, pizza vape

Hey guys, can I suggest a new Sound Clip? Henry has mentioined episodes breaking Matt Groening's rules so hard, and it certainly isn't gonna stop. I suggest a sound clip for when a just major "This wouldn't happen under Matt" ever happens. And the sound to use "GET OUT MY OFFICE (shoots gun)" from the 138th Episode Spectacular.

Guess I'm strange because I love raw tomatoes. I've even eaten them like apples, though I prefer slicing them up with some salt and pepper on top. I heard somewhere that grocery store tomatoes were bred for toughness instead of flavor so they can withstand being harvested by machines. I usually get mine from farmer's markets so maybe that's why I like them.

I love that the real life tomacco guy is from Oregon. My girlfriend does grow a lot of plants but believe it or not, pot is not one of them.

eyeball2D

"the moment the cow said tomacco, that lost my brother". Wow, I was 9 when I saw this and I had the exact same reaction. I truly had a strong reaction to the cow breaking in through the all, and remember that as the first time i recognized the simpsons could falter in quality. I think it's true that Matt Groenings rules really worked wonders in making the show what it is, and for the type of person that I am, that gets really drawn in to the reality of this animated world, Groening's rules really were the glue for this show.

For some reason I can hear a sort of static during certain parts of the episode (like at 1:06:21). Something wrong during audio editing?

Andrew Bouvier

Surprised you guys didn't mention the (albeit small) animation errors in this episode. When Lisa is commenting on Tomacco is a clever name for an evil product, a couple frames of her head stay in place when she moves as seen here: https://frinkiac.com/video/S11E05/fRDwccvoJAhdcWduCh_7Rr1kC8c=.gif And then towards the end, when the larger executive says he;s on Sugar Busters, for a couple frames his glasses aren't colored correctly: https://frinkiac.com/img/S11E05/1194560.jpg

Great episode. One reason Bob might not like tomatoes is because most of the time they’re refrigerated, which kills the flavor. Fresh tomatoes are delicious.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that I actually really, really liked this episode. Sure, I wondered how the hell the old house was still there after Homer & Abe's last visit, but every act had some great jokes, and I'm totally with Bob on the zany cartoon stuff being pretty good. Usually something repetitive and stupid like the tractor gag would annoy me (see: a lot of Family Guy), but its unexpectedness and the great drawing + Bart's reaction sells it every time, and I love that they throw in a FOURTH attempt. After a rocky start to the season (minus the Treehouse of Horror ep, I liked that a lot), this restored my faith that there's still some joy to be had from the episodes coming forward. -- And it was awesome having Alexi back on the show!

I am with Bob on tomatos. Turn them into something else and they are edible. Raw they are this awful crime against humanity. Even if they are fresh. And yea this episode is a solid one. Does it have goofy stuff? Yea. I love the Poke of Zorro as it isn't just a parody of the Mark of Zorro, but everyone crazy over the top movie of the era.

Kevin Bunch

I've learned that the key to tomatoes is that the ones that come out of Florida and grown on sandy spaces taste like crap because of how they have to be treated to turn red before they're ripe, etc. whereas fresh ones grown in an area where they're in season and in the proper environment? Pretty good!

I was still an avid viewer of this show at this time (the Sideshow Bob in Italy episode is when I tapped out for about ten years) and I am sure I loved it when it aired, but every time I have watched this as an adult I have hated it until watching it after listening to this episode of the podcast, while some of the zaniness is still off putting for me, I now really appreciate a lot of aspects of this episode. I am excited for you guys to convince me the Kid Rock episode wasn't the worst cultural atrocity this century.

Kentucky Colonel is a real thing. It's an honor bestowed by the Governor's office "to individuals in recognition of noteworthy accomplishments, contributions to Kentucky society, remarkable deeds, and outstanding service to a community, state, or the nation." My father was named a Kentucky Colonel back in 1981. Before you ask, he's never worn a white suit or had a southern style beard. In fact he's probably the last person you'd think would get the award. My family lived in Kentucky in total for barely 2 1/2 years, he was the branch manager for an insurance company, was a Brooklyn boy born and bred and while he did graduate from the Citadel--bastion of Southern (ugh!) Pride--he wrote his senior thesis on Sherman's march through Georgia. When I asked him about it recently, he said that he got it because a happy client of his had connections in the Governor's office (whose first lady at the time incidentally was Phyllis George from Lisa's football research). He never took it seriously and was just a way for political hacks to reward patrons. Even after we left Kentucky and returned to civilization, he would receive invitations to the Kentucky Colonels' annual picnic, suggested donation choices were $500 and $1000. Needless to say, the invites went right into the trash.
