one of my all-time favorite simpsons episodes !
18 November 2007 | by (Germany) – See all my reviews

to me, a long lasting simpsons veteran, this clip has everything a proper simpsons episode ought to have. the plot is wonderfully crazy and has ingenious ideas, for example lingo, the grammar robot. the splitting up into 3 parts works just fine and gives this episode its unique sign, and somehow this is creating some kind of speed, which makes the story seem tight and enjoyable. almost all the good characters (with a few exceptions) are involved in it, and the jokes are unique and delightful. i can recommend this episode to everyone really, whether you are a simpsons addict, or a greenhorn, this one will make you laugh your a** of :).

10/10, and nothing else
