I'm 4 minutes in and just have to add that the name Andore is pronounced "Ahn-doh-rey", which is the Japanese pronunciation of Andre. So it's likely they literally meant to name him Andre, but didn't know how to reverse-translate it from the katakana(アンドレ). They changed his name to Hugo later to avoid a lawsuit probably.

Donut Talk: The Simpsons Movie did not change what Homer's favorite donut is, but reinforced it. The marketing included Homer preparing to sink his teeth into a pink-frosted donut with sprinkles upon it. If you went and bought the soundtrack to the movie, you saw that image on the front which came in an adorable box styled after the kind of box you would find at a bakery that sells actual donuts. Inside is a plastic, donut-shaped case for the CD. The disc inside that case is the donut from the cover, only with a bite taken out that reveals the purple goo inside. I'm not sure if this image appeared in any other marketing material for the movie or if you had to buy the soundtrack in order to see this easter egg of sorts, which I did when it was discounted to 2 bucks.

Jeopardy is before WOF where I live (Columbus, OH). It's always so weird when I travel and see Wheel first.

Gayest Episode Ever

Whoa. Genuinely surprised to learn that there is any connection between Magic Johnson and Out of the Closet. There is one near me and that is where I’ve gotten HIV tests for most of my adult life. It did not occur to me there was a connection with the first / the most famous person I knew to have HIV.

Also I have an apparently false memory of The Simpsons being responsible for getting "yoink" into dictionaries, but apparently that has not happened?

I think my elementary school was pretty lax on shirts. I vividly remember in 4th grade a classmate of mine had a shirt with some guy diving with a shark and it had a talk bubble of the guy saying SHIT. He wore that shirt on more than one occasion.

So I'll preface this by saying that while I did study engineering, it wasn't nuclear engineering, though my best friend is a nuclear engineer and I DID watch Chernobyl twice, so I'm basically an expert at nucular panner plants. Odds are, the "one button" Homer needed to press to avert the meltdown was the "SCRAM" button (if you watched Chernobyl, this was the same button they called the A-Zed 5 button.) It has one job...lower every control rod into the reactor. Control rods are made of a material (usually boron) that absorbs atoms and other nuclear brick-a-brack, thus preventing them from bombarding each other and maintaining criticality (like in a well-functioning reactor,) or preventing it from going super-critical (like in a reactor with an "unrequested fission surplus.") This would normally be located in a more central location , like a main control room, but perhaps the problem at the plant was that the main control room lost communication with the reactor and Homer's station, as a safety console, had a "backup" Scram button.

If memory serves - and it’s been literal years, holy shit - the first time around you guys mentioned how hard this episode was seemingly trying to force “Pull a Homer” into the lexicon, and ever since then that aspect is in such glaring focus for me that it kind of drags the whole episode down. It’s such a clunker of a phrase that I have no idea why they thought they were on to something.

Well Nick's just got himself cancelled saying that the Simpsons Hit and Run hasn't aged well, with how the internet loves that game and never shuts up about it with their endless requests for a remaster. Real talk though, it would be great to see you on Get Played talking about Simpsons games; Arcade and Hit and run are the best, but I also like Road Rage (though I'm not sure there's that much to say about that game with it just being Crazy Taxi with the Simpsons. The GBA version is good though, better than the GBA version of Crazy Taxi which pushed the hardware too much and suffered for it), and the 2007 game is ok too.

WINGS rocks. I've been watching it every day during my lunch and it holds up pretty well. I think it's a lot more clever than people realize, then again i'm an aviation nerd so I have a slight bias. All the characters are unique and fun, and the aesthetic smacks of 90s warmth that I find a bit comforting.

For what it’s worth in my market (and every other market I’ve ever seen it in,which is quite a few) jeopardy is first and wheel of fortune is second. We always figured it was that way to make people feel good after jeopardy.

Nick Wiger is always a treasure.

One thing that made me laugh is that Shelbyville has its own Nuclear power plant while Springfield has one Basically one power plant can power around 750,000 homes so either Springfield’s is really that bad or burns is secretly powering many evil enterprises

Also I always thought the second power plant “meltdown” was a fake one to give Homer a chance to show how good he was in a crisis within a fake scenario otherwise EVERYONE would have gotten the fuck out there, instead of standing around him watching! Even if the fucker who made the machine was there to be safe I’d already be flooring it away lol

Henry's Barney impression makes me laugh every time!

I always assumed that Burns’ disgusted reaction to the photo Smithers shows was not to Hercules but to the fact that Smithers is standing in front of a giant portrait of Burns, which presumably is hanging in his own house. That would make it the third joke in the episode where Burns is discomfited to learn about Smithers’ apparent attraction to him, so it certainly fits the theme.

I love the way they showcase the mindset of corporate America. Bonus? Raise? No, ham is what the people want! The coupon book really sealed it. I managed a location for a small gas station chain. For Christmas they gave all the employees giant frozen turkeys. It was just me and my (now ex) wife, with no freezer big enough for the turkey, which I couldn't eat anyway because I'm allergic. Sigh...

The runner of characters blaming inanimate objects is always funny, but the best is definitely Homer trying to blame the drinking bird in “King Size Homer” for that episode’s near-meltdown. The fact that it goes a step further by including a brief physical struggle, as Homer tries to strangle the bird (complete with dramatic music), always makes me laugh. And even though Homer actually admits it’s his fault, the bird gets the last laugh as it seemingly nods in agreement.

I always took Milhouse and his, uh, family resemblance were a reference to Paul and his similar-looking family from The Wonder Years.
