Treehouse of Horror XIX - 12/21 (repeat) Episode Discussion

From The Simpsons Archive

Treehouse of Horror XIX
Episode #KABF16

"How to Get Ahead in Dead-vertising" - Homer kills celebrities so he can use their likenesses for free in TV commercials

"Untitled Robot Parody" - those certainly look like Transformers and Decepticons, who stop fighting each other...and start fighting humans

"It's the Grand Pumpkin, Milhouse" - and it's not very happy that so many pumpkins are killed for Jack-O-Lanterns

Funny how we always get the TOH ep after Halloween

I think out of the three, my favorite was the Great Pumpkin parody. I liked how you heard the adult talking "wah wah" sound only to find out that Marge was practicing her trombone.

The beginning part with Homer and the shadows - my brother told me it was a parody of Quantum of Solace, the new Bond movie.

I started watching the first one but still haven't finished.

I liked the opening where Homer goes out to vote

Who were the celebrities that Homer killed in the first story? I can only remember George Clooney and Prince. Oh, and that President's Day "wedding".

I really liked this year`s TOH. The parodies were a nice change of pace from what we`ve seen in the last few TOH. The only negative about it is that there wasn`t enough Kang and Kodos. We needed to see a lot more of those crazy aliens than just a cameo.

Yeah they appeared in the last one with them dancing with all the kids

I agree there definitely needs to be more Kang and Kodos in TOH specials.

Cyn- I am trying to remember who else Homer killed but I can't remember. The President's Day wedding was hilarious and disturbing

Nope... it was from the TV show Mad Men. It's very similar to how there Opening Credits are: Take a look:

Nelson: Touch me and I'll cut your friend!
Grand Pumpkin: What do I care? That's a yellow pumpkin.
Nelson: You're a racist!
Grand Pumpkin: All pumpkins are racist. The difference is I admit it!
Nelson: I'd rather die than hate!
