        • Quotes

          Professor Frink: This chip synthesizes from all the great voices, from Clark Gable, to Walter Cronkite to Rush Limbaugh. I don't agree with his politics, but his body is a natural echo chamber.

        Two Very Fun Stories,
        Love Is in the N2-O2-Ar-CO2-Ne-He-CH4 is a great Simpsons episode with a well written storyline and loads of very funny scenes. It's really enjoyable as we are given a Professor Frink focused episode for the first time in the show's history, I liked seeing him trying to create a method to make women fall for him, the writers were certainly taking a risk by letting him lead but I think it worked out well. I do feel that the main story was not as good it could have been, it felt underdeveloped, as if it became an episode before the idea was fully fledged out, it had more potential than it delivered. I thoroughly enjoyed the side story as we experience Grampa hallucinating after taking pills, the sequence of him watching the current Springfield turn in to old Springfield is beautifully animated, and this part contains some of the episodes funniest moments, such as Grampa dancing with Wise Guy and Homer speaking with Dean Martin, it was creative, different and very funny. Containing two stories that I found very enjoyable, Love Is in the N2-O2-Ar-CO2-Ne-He- CH4 is not the highlight of the twenty seventh season, but it's very good.

        Professor Frink creates an invention to make him more appealing to women, but it soon becomes too much for him to handle.
