This is without a doubt one of my favorite episodes in recent years. It was just put on Hulu.
Throwing up is fun on Ignoritall!
I always wondered how Homer killed flies.
Officer down! Call for backup?
It is a season old already but if you haven't seen it, it is well worth the watch.

i agree w/GP, that was a fun episode. especially if you consider the decline in quality that the simpsons have suffered in the last several years.
on a side note, simpsons fans might be upset about this:
Quote:
To cap its 20th anniversary, Fox will air a documentary special on "The Simpsons" produced and directed by Morgan Spurlock.
Titled "The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special in 3-D on Ice," the outing will air Jan. 14.
According to the announcement, Spurlock "will examine the cultural phenomenon of 'The Simpsons' in his distinctive and innovative style. The special will document how the world sees 'The Simpsons' and how the Simpson family has seen the world for two decades." Huh.
“When they first called me about this, I thought it was a prank and I hung up,” said Spurlock, the documentary filmmaker of "Super Size Me" and FX's "30 Days." "And then my agent called back and said, ‘No, no, this is for real,’ at which point I fainted. Then when I woke up, I called everyone I knew because it was the coolest thing I could ever get to do in my career.”
The project was announced in the Most Confusing. Press Release. Ever. The release announced "The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special in 3-D on Ice," went on for awhile with quotes and stuff and several repeat mentions of the "3-D on Ice" stuff, and then at bottom added, under a note about art availability, "EDITOR’S NOTE 2: Please note the special is neither in 3-D nor on ice." So two of the four aspects -- Spurlock and documentary -- are true.
Great episode ideal, funny title. And too bad the show isn't doing a 3D episode for real.
"Let that be a lesson to you, your family and everyone you've ever known..."

I actually saw this on Sunday, and it was pretty good for a newer episode. There were only a couple annoyingly bad jokes in it. I happened to catch a weekday rerun of a newer ep with Bart in the little league championship game recently too, and that wasn't half bad.
Quite a change from the usual fair the show puts out this past decade.

Spurlock?! WHY?
Of all the documentary filmmakers out there, why do they pick one that rose to fame over some silly bullshit, and has no real experience other than a small handful of shitty films.
I would rather see "Werner Herzog Presents The Simpsons"
