Bart goes on a mission to take back the disputed lemon tree claimed by Springfield and Shelbyville.

This is a very funny episode with excellent character moments.

The plot is an amusing lampoon of everyday tribalism between neighbouring communities, thinly disguised as a spoof of Homer's 'Iliad'. It uses numerous characters hilariously, especially Bart, Homer, Nelson, Martin and the Shelbyville counterparts.

The humour is quite consistent, with a number of memorable sight gags and plenty of strong banter. My favourite running jokes are the disrespect Homer shows Flanders' RV and the Shelbyville incest references.

I love the brief sequence of Lisa and her Shelbyville friend playing peacefully together with the kite.
