The Simpsons: Bart-Mangled Banner (2004)
Season 15, Episode 21
1/10
An unfunny and ridiculously pro-American episode (spoilers)
10 December 2007
Warning: Spoilers
This is my least favourite episode of all of them. I LOVE this show and its good episodes are the best I've ever seen. However this doesn't even deserve to be shown. First of all it has a badly executed parody of North by Nortwest involving Dr Hibbert trying to inoculate Bart. They manage to have the way he finally gets him kinda funny however spoil it with an unfunny line from Moe. Next we see Bart having his pants bitten off by a donkey and for some strange reason which we will never know he doesn't think to run out of view, even though he is deaf. Everyone in America instantly shuns the whole Simpson family and they're sent to a prison. They manage to distract the guards by doing a pro-American song which is also unfunny, then just to top off the absolute ridiculousness of this episode. They flee to France and despite the fact that they love everything about France, for almost no reason they miss America. They decide to move back and as the episode ends the viewer sits in dismay at the horrible jokes and feels offended at the Simpsons disregard for other countries.
