Hilarious Homer of Halloween

This is another favourite Treehouse of Horror special I've so very to see just like the last one (first segment mainly) and the next and ninth one (IX).

Opening here is boring with the censor of Fox network blabbering for nearly a minute about TV-G. Couch gag involves metal shacks and electricity yet not much for horror.

First segment - The Homega Man is quite a good segment, only mainly some parts I like such as Homer said about on the hippo on TV became a deputy "Stupid hippo", and the nuclear explosion killing anyone else (even in buildings which are in tact) Homer having the power to do whatever he likes as he thinks he's the last one alive.

Even halfway of this he dances naked in the church to Edwin Starr's soundtrack: War. Yet, confronted by Springfield citizens who've become mutants.

Second one - Fly vs Fly (based on The Fly movie): This one is what I prefer the most out of the three of them, despite the science fiction element. So Homer buys a matter transporter (not sure if they exist in real-life) which looks to be very useful. Santa's Little Helper and Snowball both end up like something in CatDog.

Classic moment with the transporter Homer uses it near the toilet and accidentally strikes Lisa in the face blaming it on Marge. I don't blame Homer for not letting Bart a go with the matter transporter (in case he uses it irresponsibly) as I don't trust him when he pleads promising to be careful.

Hilarious ending after Homer picks up an axe...and chases Bart with it for obviously using his machine irresponsibly. As conclusion, think we've all learned a lesson today.

Third segment is least favourite with the whole 1600s the town is witness many witch burnings and who to condemn. Eventually, Marge is accused of witch (even with her Bride of Frankenstein hairdo). This too had hilarious ending of trick-or-treating Homer laughed at for attacking his own house before accuses Lisa as a witch town folk chasing her, haha.
