Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis episode was postponed and not shown for a while due to the two lines: "The Sniper attack at the all star game was a blessing in disguise" and "Any child caught outside after the curfew would be shot". This is because in the real world around this time there was some pretty bad sniper attacks in Washington D.C so these lines were seen in a whole new light so they postponed this episode till enough time passed.
- GoofsThe Springfield Isotopes win the championship at Springfield Stadium while Homer and the guys watch the game live on TV at Moe's Tavern. It is daytime at the stadium, yet at Moe's it is nighttime.
- Quotes
Lisa Simpson: It's not fair. Adults always blame kids for everything.
Homer Simpson: Well, if kids are so innocent, why is everything bad named after them? Acting childish, kidnapping, child abuse.
Bart: What about adultery?
Homer Simpson: Not until you're older, Son.

Hilarity and Horror Parody in "Wild Barts Can't Be Broken"
"Wild Barts Can't Be Broken" is a very funny episode, with a continuous stream of humorous moments. It's also commendable for its parody of horror movie trailers, and they use a well-executed horror musical arrangement for it, successfully recreating the eerie atmosphere of the movie they're parodying. This was one of the strong points of the golden era of the series, which gradually faded, the ability to parody a film while simulating its atmosphere.
The funniest jokes range from the voice that finishes the ad for "the bloodening" to Otto holding the boombox like they do in a movie.
However, despite being a very hilarious and well-crafted episode in these aspects, it still remains a weak episode within the golden era of the series and isn't one to watch many times.
