ATTENTION SIMPSONS FANS! Something Funny I noticed, Need a Date of Episode
Edited on Fri Feb-25-05 07:09 PM by WLKjr
Season Six Episode 5 Titled :

Sideshow Bob Roberts

Date? Just curious......

I was just watching my DivX collection and stumbled upon this gem. I kid you not, I seen the Arnold, the rush limbaugh, I think pre GWB, and even larry king. Even comes complete with rapture talk, and election fraud.


I am laughing so hard right now becuase they have the republican media pegged out quite some time ago.


If you can, watch this episode, it is really funny! :D

1. Bob Roberts as in the Tm Robbins film?
A film that should be playing in every school in the world.

5. No this is an actual Simpsons episode
I forgot to metion it even has smithers playing a 'deep throat' character. Right now I can't believe how much this episode has in it.


Seriously it is a awesome episode.

4. One of my favorite episodes

Sideshow Bob quote from that ep:

"In your heart you may vote Democrat, but secretly you long for a cold hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals, and rule you like a king"

It's funny and unfortunately true at the same time

9. I think it's "...lower taxes, brutalize criminals, etc..."
The word "brutalize" really makes that quote.

7. Why do all the Simpsons have three fingers...
... and one thumb on each hand? Surely, someone else has noticed this.

10. possibly the same reason why Mickey Mouse ...
... and a lot of other cartoon characters do. My cousin, who trained as an animator, told me that it saves a lot of time and labor when drawing the cels.

I don't know whether this is still true these days, given that so many cartoon studios have switched to CGI (and they have software now that can individually animate separate hairs on an animal's coat).

The more realistic, serious animated films tend to show the full number of fingers. (So it also serves as a division between animation genres.)

15. Most cartoon characters are drawn that way
because four fingers make their hands look too wide.

12. Is that the one where Sideshow Bob gets votes from the pet cemetery?
And the Springfield newspaper has an opinion piece with the headline, "Why Shouldn't Dead Pets Vote?"

16. One of the reviews at the site - disappointed freeper:

Mark Harpt: The latest episode of the Simpsons was terrible. Why the
rip on Republicans? Someone's very afraid of the upcoming
elections. The media is back to their spreading of propaganda and
misinformation. No wonder nobody trusts them anymore.
