Memorable Moments: The Simpsons: The Food Wife

Quicky Opinion: I actually probably could've done a full opinion of The Food Wife, which is probably my favorite episode The Simpsons has done this season. There was dozens of good freeze frame gags, and the plot about Marge wanting to be seen as the "fun mom", was made fresh with the food blog angle. Good guest star use too. And Homer mistakening a meth lab for the resturant where all the food is made by science was a great climax. Good job, Simpsons. Quicky Grade: Totally Awesome! (Great)

Memorable Moments

-Previous Fun Dad Saturday activites: Cemetary Paintball and Go Karts on real roads.
-Homer: "Is there any better feeling than cutting in line, because a plastic badge says you're special?"
-Among the many videogame booths shown at the E4 convention, I noticed Grand Theft Scratchy, Mapple, Bongo Games (A reference to Matt Groening's comic company), Chalmskinn Interactive (with Chalmer's face on it), Dig Dug: Revelations, Terrence Mallick's Tree of Life Online, Driver's License 2: License to Drive, Assassin's Creed: Summer of Love, and Human Centipede. Among other things.
-Other good jokes at E4: Marching Band, and Homer's videogame experience trying to get the kids to Hall G for the Funtendo videogame announcement (the Zii Zu)
-Marge: "How come they never call me fun mom?" Homer: "A family's like a team. On every team you have the slam dunking mega star and the referee".
-The whole Cross Games joke was funny too.
-Lisa is suprised that the people at Little Ethiopia use "pancakes" as spoons.
-The foodies Marge, Lisa, and Bart meet apparently discovered Korean BBQ in Springfield before the Koreans.
-Homer: "I don't eat anything new unless I've tried it before".
-Homer: "Alright, food nerds. Reality check: All the food in those pictures is poop by now. Minds blown. You're welcome."
-Krusty: "Krustyland has a new ride, the Eyeballs of Death. It only passed the safety by a 3 to 2 vote. And that third vote didn't come cheap".
-Homer: "Marge, this isn't a food restaurant. It's a meth restaurant. A meth-taurant!"
-I also liked the meth dealer having a Ratatouille flashback. Even though that's kind of a dated reference.
-Best Guest Star Appearance: Gordon Ramsey yelling at Marge, and then hijacking her dream.
