23:12 to 23:55 is still my most favorite 90s Kid moment ever. Notices something is wrong, tries to get the attention of the others, and when being unable to do so, tries to shoot the intruder, and when that doesn’t work, does not hesitate to STAB the mofo. And then channels all the awesomeness of Kurt Russell with that “YEAH, SCREW YOU, TOO!” before shooting the mofo. I’m so proud of him. :)
I like how linkara simply showed by having 90s kid being able to use the magic gun, and having that be the indicator that the gun was at its full power since he was able to use it
This might not even get read, and also it's incredibly long, but there's quite a bit of meat behind the "Exorsister" story. 1) The all female group on that CD was a reference to Salt N Pepa, the rap duo. 2) The big ass knife was an old design switchblade (manual folding/unfolding) 3) Marge's dismissal of Madonna is basically every older adult/parent figure who can't see why people like her were such hot stuff. 4) That game with bart as a medieval executioner is basically a reference to Dungeons & Dragons, which had some satanic references which set off moral groups. Same-ish with Magic The Gathering, having references of devils and demons. 5) Homer and Lovejoy's argument about immoral tv programs could be seen as an argument over expression of public media being suppressed because of "provocative imagery". 6) Marge's concern of Lisa's Madonna possession being "infectious" could be how poor information could make people too panicky. 7) That scene of Krusty apologizing over something that happened from his show is likely how many kids often try imitating dangerous stunts they saw from TV despite the warning of "Don't Try This At Home, Kids!" (And his ending rant could be how many hosts/musicians/actors/company people wanna tell these moral guardians to go 'f' themselves and let the entertainers, well, ENTERTAIN WITHOUT BEING HOUNDED. Basically, it's referencing how entertainment media is being vilified by ignorant, idiotic, self-made "protectors".
7:44 Dr. Nick _specifically_ said the formula is supposed to make your body absorb the mucus membranes (which doesn't actually cure the infection), so reversing it turned Bob *all* mucus membrane.I should point out Dr. Nick would have messed up even if he _hadn't_ screwed up the formula: the digestive system is *lined* with mucus membranes; his formula would _kill_ his patient.
17:51 cut to 2018 exorcisms are very popular to the point that the church's are having shortages on priests to do them. must be that damn rock and roll..
Not really a hermit, he just looks the part. Aside for the fact that he's actually amiable as long as you don't bring up things that piss him off, he's apparently a HUGE Simpsons fan, so jumped at the chance to be in it.
Since I know you aren't really a Valiant Comics fan, here's some interesting trivia for you: Radioactive Man's costume was inspired in part by Solar, Man of the Atom. Zap Brannigan's outfit was inspired by Magnus, Robot Fighter's first costume. The Valiant characters Bloodshot, Rai, X-O Manowar, and Ninjak all appeared in an issue of the Radioactive Man comic.
5:16 - Maybe it works a lot like a short-story I read back in middle-school. The story follows a young-woman as she goes about completing a Jig-Saw Puzzle. When she gets most of the picture finished, she begins to realize the scene of the puzzle is actually a view of her piecing the puzzle together. The last bit she finishes is the window behind her where there is a shadowy figure watching her solve the puzzle. She turns and the figure actually is standing there outside the window...
See again this to me is what makes this the best storyline by having the moments with all the various characters not only communciating with one another but growing and evolving as well and showing more a full range of emotion. 90's Kid picking up on things or Havey's anger still fueling with him: these are the character stuff that evolve these storyline past the standard "defeat the so and so" and make them stand out more and more to me.
This came out in 2012, and Arrow hadn't hit its stride by that point (before it lost it after season 2, found it again in season 5, and then watched it slowly dissipate in season 6).
One THoH segment I enjoyed recently was one that arguably had little to do with THoH to begin with: Modern Simpsons meet Proto Simpsons. But it's nice to see a fair and balanced view towards the new Simpsons when 98% of the Internet pretty much hates it and will crucify anyone who says otherwise. Personally I feel Holidays of Future Passed to be one of the best episodes in the modern Simpsons era, and would've served as a pretty decent finale if the show really was going to be ended at that time. The Harvey Finevoice Christmas Carol segment may be a side story in this saga, but it really cements how creative and talented Lewis can get with writing the storylines and his characters.
The Mount Splashmore bit is a "to be continued" thing. Since Bob survived, he'll be able to easily devour everyone who gets into the pool and resume hunting Bart, now more powerful than ever.
What do you mean? Arrow was great! It lasted two and a half Glorious seasons, then it was promptly cancelled after "The Climb". Are you perhaps talking about the subpar spinoff "Felicity and friends"?
Oh my, you are right, sorry, I got them confused. My memory is a bit foggy, because I stopped watching Fefe and Friend after crossover episode with Arrow at 11:39...
I actually read some of the Simpson's comic books as a kid! I remember liking them a lot. Edit: what the hell is up with the high dislike ratio for this video? Is it seriously just because he mentioned Trump? how sensitive ARE people??
Trump thing wasn't even a joke... least not that I got. Mucous absorbed into the body is just like Trump? Like... saying he's a Slimeball or something? Very vague and reaching. Though a 10% dislike ratio is hardly high. Just bad as a joke as it's told.
"I swear, you're possessed with her!" 😂Next time an actor or performer is one of my fixations, I'm gonna say I'm possessed with them. "You've been watching a lot of ROCKY & BULLWINKLE lately." "Oh, yeah. I'm possessed by the ghost of Paul Frees." "Again?"
I can vouch for the Simpson’s comics being funny. I’ve picked up many, many books at resale places that have collection books if the comics and at lest the ones I’ve read capture the feel , humor, and spirit of the show perfectly in new original stories . Would highly recommend any Simpson fan to pick up a comic if they ever see one . The collection books are quite common
Okay, the setup for Dr. Nick's appearence was funny Hey, any comic that starts up a Gilbert and Sullivan singalong's fine by me The first switchblades were actually pretty huge. Of course, they were unfolded manually and not springloaded like a modern one. Look up "folding navaja". First story was funny. Second was really lame.
Oddly enough, I have heard about a priest in my religion knocking on doors and saying almost the exact same words linkara said after the exorcism source of revenue panel.
Linkara you know that a couple Simpsons have past away...But would you maybe like the show if it still had the witty charm of the 90's seasons with Troy McClure and Lionel Ritchy, and Ms. Crabapple?
Honestly while I do agree that the modern Simpsons isn't as good as the first ten, I don't get why people think it's as bad as say the show with the Geico Cavemen. I mean it's not really insufferable, they're more mediocre.
one of my first introductions to comic books was the Simpsons Comics though the first one i read was a confusing one that had to be read from back to front to make chronological sense, still have a pile of them somewhere including the Crossover Crisis issues with the Futurama Comics.
I love 90's Kid/Dude :D He's my favourite recurring character on the show. And I still have the hat I wore when I cosplayed him at ConBravo one time! It lives on top of a Pikachu!
18:46 Funny story: around the turn of the millennium, my dad won me this giant novelty penny keyring, I probably still have it somewhere. Anyway, I don't know if it was a bad stamping or a legal issue, but it did indeed say, "In *Cod* We Trust".
Also I guess since you're always doing a lot of videos around Halloween now with Longbox of the Dammed you wouldn't have time for a TOH list. Hmmm maybe it'd be better to wait anyway for the Simpsons to finally end... whenever that is. Heh at the rate you're going though you may actually catch up to them at least in a few years. Seriously it's now Linkara 362 to Simpsons 574 and heh this episode is like 213 which is like the gap so yeah chow down at that gap some more man.
I would not be surprised if, one of these days, somebody made a Patreon request to Linkara about reviewing the Simpsons/Futurama crossover mini-series (or even just a regular Futurama comic).
i cant remember if it was a tree house of horror comic but it was a Simpson comic anyway it was the simsons in the lord of the rings and it was pretty lame i just wanted to mention it
My relationship with the Simpsons has been complicated. I used to watch the early seasons and even bought a few Simpsons comics, (We didn't take care of them though as they all got ripped) but then I started hating the show during my cynical phase in the late 2000's, along with a lot of other channels that gone to crap at that period. So when I discovered internet reviewers, I wanted to request you some Simpsons comics. Not any specific ones, just the Simpsons comics in general. I still remember (Never do this, by the way) typing in the ThatGuyWithTheGlasses forums, in your old request thread, "Review Simpsons Comics" over and over again. I got over that phase after I went to college when I realized, I could just ignore the new episodes and still like the old classic episodes. I also got the memo that you do read every comment, even if you don't reply.
AND they had writer HARLAN ELLSION on the show....I pray for everyone working on the show that week.....Harlan is a writer. NOT a sci-fi writer which is best known for, he just wanted to be called a writer. He HATED being called a science fiction writer. Harlan was a known grump, and known for his ego....I just would love to know what it was like in the studio that day....The staff maybe had to lie down after working with him for an hour.
nesman1985 ? I think he’s more like a calmer AVGN if anything given the explanations sandwiched by over the top jokes & reactions. Not to mention all the characters, their continuities & their grand storylines.
"Wow! You got stan lee to come back?"
"Stan lee never left" Comic book guy replied
23:12 to 23:55 is still my most favorite 90s Kid moment ever.

Sideshow Blob is still a better Thing story than The Thing from Another World comic books
...but it's not based on the Thing, it's a parody if the Blob.
This might not even get read, and also it's incredibly long, but there's quite a bit of meat behind the "Exorsister" story.
1) The all female group on that CD was a reference to Salt N Pepa, the rap duo.
2) The big ass knife was an old design switchblade (manual folding/unfolding)
3) Marge's dismissal of Madonna is basically every older adult/parent figure who can't see why people like her were such hot stuff.

We're getting so close to the Harvey Finevoice Christmas Carol.
Prepare your feels, everyone!
That would be AWESOME!
Wow that is one damn good Dr. Nick impression. The Professor Frink impression is pretty good too
18:50 -
My God...All this time Reverend Lovejoy has been one of the Fish-People from Shadow over Innsmouth!
7:44 Dr. Nick _specifically_ said the formula is supposed to make your body absorb the mucus membranes (which doesn't actually cure the infection), so reversing it turned Bob *all* mucus membrane.I should point out Dr. Nick would have messed up even if he _hadn't_ screwed up the formula: the digestive system is *lined* with mucus membranes; his formula would _kill_ his patient.
"You'll be just like Donald Trump"
4-5 years later
If it had been Bob vs Hilary vs Trump.....we would still have a clown in office....just one with a brain
Holy crap, a video review of something owned by Fox that didn't get taken down for copyright? There's something you don't see every day.
Your Dr. Nick impression is amazing!
I wanna go to Mt. Splashmore! Take me take me take me there right now! NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW! Mt. Splashmore take me there right now!
Anyone else think Linkara sounds like Kent Brockman?
annnnd turns out Arrow was popular in a good way. oops.
17:51 cut to 2018
exorcisms are very popular to the point that the church's are having shortages on priests to do them.
must be that damn rock and roll..
Really I thought the Catholic church disavowed them
Jeez how did they swing getting Alan Moore on their show? I thought the man was some sort of insane hermit?
Not really a hermit, he just looks the part. Aside for the fact that he's actually amiable as long as you don't bring up things that piss him off, he's apparently a HUGE Simpsons fan, so jumped at the chance to be in it.
So dont bring up anything work of his that Hollywood got to lol
the other ghost girl Alan Moore is insane.
But he’s not a hermit.
I just read the Simpsons Futurama Crossover Crisis book and I loved it.
There was a good reason for the light in the water tank. Without it you couldn't read the sign.
What do you know, an unintentionally topical Donald Trump joke, considering this was FIRST aired in 2012.
...and I am not actually first. At least my comment was more than just one pointless word!
Donald Trump jokes from 10 years ago are probably even more topical now than then.
Well, this is from 3 years ago, so was it topical then?
What did I say that's prejudiced?
+Isaac Munger (MisterJukebox8) Donald Trump is always topical. Especially since he's always doing some kind of self promotion.
Since I know you aren't really a Valiant Comics fan, here's some interesting trivia for you:
Radioactive Man's costume was inspired in part by Solar, Man of the Atom.
Zap Brannigan's outfit was inspired by Magnus, Robot Fighter's first costume.
The Valiant characters Bloodshot, Rai, X-O Manowar, and Ninjak all appeared in an issue of the Radioactive Man comic.
When constabulary duty's to be done, (to be done), a policeman's job is not a happy one, (happy one).

Are we ever going to see more of Jaeris' menagerie? The concept honestly sounds really interesting.
This came out in 2012, and Arrow hadn't hit its stride by that point (before it lost it after season 2, found it again in season 5, and then watched it slowly dissipate in season 6).
I still have my copy of the 100th issue of Simpsons comics.
Also, why would Lisa be into pop groups? I thought she was into Jazz.
23:28-23:52 90s Kid just stabbed and shot a shadow demon with a sword and the Magic Gun. This needs to happen more often!
What you see is what you get!...Except when it’s not, and he’s a total badass
I don't always watch the Simpsons now, but when I do, it's either the classics or the Halloween episodes.
treehouse horror 14 Bart finds the deathnote
13:05 Ah I see that the Simpsons are predicting themselves now
One THoH segment I enjoyed recently was one that arguably had little to do with THoH to begin with: Modern Simpsons meet Proto Simpsons.

15:52 Arrow?! OH MY GOD! Linkara forseen that Arrow is gonna turn into terrible rom-com D:
What do you mean? Arrow was great! It lasted two and a half Glorious seasons, then it was promptly cancelled after "The Climb". Are you perhaps talking about the subpar spinoff "Felicity and friends"?
Oh my, you are right, sorry, I got them confused. My memory is a bit foggy, because I stopped watching Fefe and Friend after crossover episode with Arrow at 11:39...
wait, are we talking about the Arrow with Oliver Queen and all them on the CW? the one that spawned the Flash TV series?
David Spring
And It's Terrible spinoff "Felicity and friends" yes.
TangledLion never heard of the spin off...I'm sorry it got cancelled, though.
I actually read some of the Simpson's comic books as a kid! I remember liking them a lot.
Edit: what the hell is up with the high dislike ratio for this video? Is it seriously just because he mentioned Trump? how sensitive ARE people??

When did you get spacesuits to paint the name on the side of the ship?!
There was air bubbles in the needle and the next shot shows that it has 98% air he would be dead.
3:12 gart ennis wrote simpson comics? wow the irony
a bible reference in which people worshiped a fish god... of course- Dagon!
Your Dr. Nick's impression is spot on!
"I swear, you're possessed with her!"
😂Next time an actor or performer is one of my fixations, I'm gonna say I'm possessed with them.
"You've been watching a lot of ROCKY & BULLWINKLE lately."
"Oh, yeah. I'm possessed by the ghost of Paul Frees."
"Again?"
It's sad that linkara could easily dubb most of the audio from the show to read the lines
I can vouch for the Simpson’s comics being funny. I’ve picked up many, many books at resale places that have collection books if the comics and at lest the ones I’ve read capture the feel , humor, and spirit of the show perfectly in new original stories .

Co,ing from a huge Simpsons fan, the comics are very good, to those who are curious
Oddly enough, I have heard about a priest in my religion knocking on doors and saying almost the exact same words linkara said after the exorcism source of revenue panel.
Why does this video have 48 dislikes? I think that may be the highest I have seen so far on my binge adventure.. though I could be wrong.
Man, I remember buying this comic from an airport bookstore when I was a kid. XD
Hey, I use to read the Trade of these Simpson's Comics back in my School days, You should review some of Bongo Comics Futurama Comics.
I grew up with tree house of horror
Linkara you know that a couple Simpsons have past away...But would you maybe like the show if it still had the witty charm of the 90's seasons with Troy McClure and Lionel Ritchy, and Ms. Crabapple?
Honestly while I do agree that the modern Simpsons isn't as good as the first ten, I don't get why people think it's as bad as say the show with the Geico Cavemen. I mean it's not really insufferable, they're more mediocre.
Great episode! Love the gunslinger. All of it was enjoyable
the Krusty imitation gag isn't pointless. it's making fun of an incident involving kids starting a fire imitating Beavis and Butthead.
one of my first introductions to comic books was the Simpsons Comics though the first one i read was a confusing one that had to be read from back to front to make chronological sense, still have a pile of them somewhere including the Crossover Crisis issues with the Futurama Comics.
old and vinegar is a spin on salt and peppa. you know the first ever all female rap group. shoop? what a man?
90's Kid is my spirit animal.
I like how you keep putting the thing in your titlecards.
i love simpsons horror tv shows they are better than comic books
They never cut bobs hair in prison.
"Sence when thas female improvement means cerying inormes switch blades?"
So, this is the band of female improvement band from Corsica?
7:02 watching this now during the 2020 election is an Oof
The green things are The Happy Little Elves....a Simpsons Smurf parody which predates the series... going all the way back to the Tracy Ullman era.
I love 90's Kid/Dude :D He's my favourite recurring character on the show. And I still have the hat I wore when I cosplayed him at ConBravo one time! It lives on top of a Pikachu!
Anyone else get a red dwarf : back to reality video from this?
18:46 Funny story: around the turn of the millennium, my dad won me this giant novelty penny keyring, I probably still have it somewhere. Anyway, I don't know if it was a bad stamping or a legal issue, but it did indeed say, "In *Cod* We Trust".
10 years of treehouse of horror review
2:13 And they had him stand in front of a "Lost Girls" poster. My pity to anyone who looked what THAT story was about after watching that episode.
So, real talk, why don’t we get more of Lewis singing in these reviews? I am all for showtunes on AT4W and he does have a great singing voice
It's weird. I don't remember this review (loved the credits, BTW), but I remember the plot advancement here.
Also I guess since you're always doing a lot of videos around Halloween now with Longbox of the Dammed you wouldn't have time for a TOH list. Hmmm maybe it'd be better to wait anyway for the Simpsons to finally end... whenever that is. Heh at the rate you're going though you may actually catch up to them at least in a few years. Seriously it's now Linkara 362 to Simpsons 574 and heh this episode is like 213 which is like the gap so yeah chow down at that gap some more man.
Who else is watching this after the election? 7:02
+Linkara-atopthefourthwall now u understand what Doug goes through
Why's this not on the official AT4W Halloween Episodes Playlist? the Spidey Clone Sagas i can understand but Treehouse of Horror IS Halloween based!
19:17 Lisa: ohhhhhhh… Why do I suddenly feel the urge to but an Amy Grant Album?! 😳
I would not be surprised if, one of these days, somebody made a Patreon request to Linkara about reviewing the Simpsons/Futurama crossover mini-series (or even just a regular Futurama comic).
i cant remember if it was a tree house of horror comic but it was a Simpson comic anyway it was the simsons in the lord of the rings and it was pretty lame i just wanted to mention it
Überraschend guter Gesang
Thank you finally someone who doesn’t like arrow. It’s so rare, I’ve always hated that show from the first episode.
My relationship with the Simpsons has been complicated. I used to watch the early seasons and even bought a few Simpsons comics, (We didn't take care of them though as they all got ripped) but then I started hating the show during my cynical phase in the late 2000's, along with a lot of other channels that gone to crap at that period. So when I discovered internet reviewers, I wanted to request you some Simpsons comics. Not any specific ones, just the Simpsons comics in general. I still remember (Never do this, by the way) typing in the ThatGuyWithTheGlasses forums, in your old request thread, "Review Simpsons Comics" over and over again. I got over that phase after I went to college when I realized, I could just ignore the new episodes and still like the old classic episodes. I also got the memo that you do read every comment, even if you don't reply.
Arrow was a good show last time I checked.
I remember reading this comic as a kid.
Linkara,
I'm learning how to sing the policemen song. Do you have any advice?
I love the Simpsons
Me too man. Read the comics, there the shit. Don't listen to linkfarta
+Justin Sundstrom I Thot he'd hate it. Never mind
Brandon Roberts last season brought it back to its roots
Was arrow a bad TV show? I wouldn't really know cause never watched it.
Bart's blue shirt bothers me as much as the coat of Scrooge McDuck in comic and the show.
Thing Parody or Akira Parody? You make the call!
The animals on the power rangers suit is from the movie
Was this the first appearance of Jaris? I hope I spelled his name right.
Nope! Jaeris first appeared in the Batman: A Word to the Wise review.
And next arc we be a personal favorite.
it is now march 2024 and simpsons has 35 seasons
Why would they shave your hair in prison? 0.o
AND they had writer HARLAN ELLSION on the show....I pray for everyone working on the show that week.....Harlan is a writer. NOT a sci-fi writer which is best known for, he just wanted to be called a writer. He HATED being called a science fiction writer. Harlan was a known grump, and known for his ego....I just would love to know what it was like in the studio that day....The staff maybe had to lie down after working with him for an hour.
hiiiiiiiii! got the same book!!!!!
did anyone else read the Bartman graphic novel?
7:11- THANK YOU!
anybody think Linkara is a restrained version of Doug
nesman1985 ? I think he’s more like a calmer AVGN if anything given the explanations sandwiched by over the top jokes & reactions. Not to mention all the characters, their continuities & their grand storylines.
16:00 "arrow"? What's wrong with arrow?
Wish all the shorts at the end where in one video
A fan did a compilation of them.
KidSnivy69 Thanks I'll try and find it
Hi everybody!
