    • Trivia
      When Steve Mobbs is on the big screen with Bart's voice dubbed over his and the Comic Book Guy spins around and smashes the screen with a sledgehammer this is a direct parody of Apple's "Nineteen Eighty-Four" commercial (which in origin is a homage to George Orwell's 'Nineteen Eighty-Four'.)

    Simpsons, You Did It Again!!
    MyPods and Boomsticks is an amazing episode. I have watched 9 other Season 20 episodes, and there is 1 bad, 3 okay, 3 good, 3 really good. This episode is one of the really good episodes. This episode has a clever parody of Apple and all of it's products. The parody is just genius and I am glad that they made this episode. This is so far the best episode of the season and this is also one of the best Middle Age ( S11-S20 ) Simpsons. But then again, there are some really good Middle Age episodes. This episode is just full of fun gags and references along the way. I liked Bart's new Muslim friend, Bashir, but I think the episode should have explored their friendship a bit more. This is a very good episode that obviously deserves more than a 7.1. Come on!! I really liked this episode, and if you are a Simpsons fan looking for a great episode to watch, try this one. In all, I give this a 8.6 out of 10.
