      @@MrParkerman6 I know it's been a year, but this is pretty ridiculous. Not only is it laughable to imply that something in an animated show could be "left up to chance" but you also clearly didn't understand my entire point regarding the term "nonsense". Oldschool Simpsons, while funny, creative and well-written as probably never an animated sitcom before or after, had their fair share of absolute nonsense and were richer for it. In this very clip you have breakdancing apes, in "Cape Feare" you have Sideshow Bob repeatedly stepping on rakes to enhance the runtime of the episode (not making this up, that's the genuine reason), in "Duffless" you have Chief Wiggum explode after colliding with a tree, and the entire conception of the Sea Captain was because the writers wanted to have a character using "sea talk" for no good reason other than that they thought it was funny. None of these things make sense outside of the show's universe but the show is much funnier because of it. Something being nonsensical doesn't make it bad, as Lewis Carroll, Terry Pratchett and yes, oldschool Simpsons writers will happily attest.

    I can't really blame THEM for that, I mean, the movie was almost thirty years old by then, FIFTY now. Though I wish all the box sets of those movies and VHS/DVD/Blu-Ray covers didn't put the statue on their covers and in their menus and shit. That's kind of a dick move.
    I'm not saying the movie needs a spoiler alert, but they shouldn't so blatantly go the other way, either.
