It's funny because Tommy Wiseau did the same thing, only changing pumpkins the next Halloween.

My favorite part is that it's not even a current SummerSlam logo.
They haven't used that one since 1997 when they were still the WWF.
(I'm well aware of the irony of making this observation when I have an avatar of Lisa wearing an outfit from an episode that aired in Spring 1996.)

You know, why are they making a big deal that Ned "exploded" in Hurricane Neddy? I mean he was able to express anger in prior episodes.

That's what I noticed too, especially in Homer Loves Flanders.
See you in the car!

I sure hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
And that is how all good writers got fired.

Summer of 4'2" is probably my favorite episode. The main plot is one of the best Bart/Lisa stories and Homer, Marge, and Milhouse as secondary characters are absolutely on point. The scene where Homer buys fireworks and the follow up of Marge digging through the bag is one of my favorite sequences in the series, and the "cool kids," as dated as they seem now (and honestly, even back then), still had some good bits.

wait did this episode come before or after the worst case of false advertising since the Neverending Story?

I just realized something.
Simpsons and Spongebob both have very quotable quotes. However, the latter's quotes are mostly single dialog whereas the former are mostly mutli-liner or a banter.

Well, for whatever reason, our Irish channel that airs The Simpsons over here is now airing the resmastered classic episodes (watching the Beer Baron episode right now), and boy, the filtering looks terrible. Not to mention the cropping that ruins the composition and gives the whole thing a claustrophobic feel. Yeah, I'm not a fan.

Cool, but hardly first place material.
I watched this episode yesterday, coincidentally. Unfortunately I was unable to make it out to trivia later that night

Are those the limited edition action figures?

Oh hey, Hurricane Neddy is yet again airing here lol
The more I watch it, the more less I feel about it. Seriously, he even has angry groans in the episode itself prior to the outburst. And what makes me feel lessen the episode's quality is the theme - you'd think it'd be about his faith waning or being tested, but nope - LOL mental issues.

Good point. I've always liked the episode but it did seem like the writers wanted Ned to question his faith but then changed their mind about it.
One episode that really bugs me is the one where Homer skips out on church and Marge rejects him and eventually the entire community saves him from the house fire. It just felt extremely preachy and had a confused morality lesson.

Yeah, it had a really good build up, but then suddenly raging psycho.

Regardless of the intentions of the angle they were playing, Hurricane Neddy is funny as fuck

I haven't seen it in a while but Hurricane Neddy is one of my favorite episodes in terms of dissecting a supporting character, and developing them in an unexpected way. Boss Doggie, you seem to dislike that it sets up Ned's faith as something that will be "tested" in the episode, but the whole point of that was to show how much he relied on religion as a means to suppress his natural feelings of negativity and force happiness. It's only after the events of the first act that he is pushed so far that religion just can't cut it and he snaps. It follows it's natural conclusion by delving into the reason Ned uses faith to smother his anger to begin with. But again I haven't seen it in years, so I may be forcing a narrative here.

I mean yeah, it is funny. Ned's outburst (Hey, I just got here!), the rebuilt house, the joke about the hurricane, it's all laugh out loud. My problem is the handling of Ned himself.
See I am fine if it's like that.
Problem is... it's already 15 mins into the episode with the sudden change! If it had happened in the 1st act yeah, but this has been far too off in the episode. There was only I think 6 or so minutes left. It felt all abrupt.

Abrupt?! That episode was 7 seasons in the making by that point.
Ned Lasting as long as he did Is part of his character.

I swear some of these are references like that rod.
It was an old script? Whoa.
And by abrupt I mean I wouldn't mind it if they had that part a littler earlier.

It wasn't abrupt. Ned had been set up as the nicest guy in the world. Nothing could make him mad. It only makes sense that someone that nice is going to crack eventually.
And what episode is that image above from? Because those could all be references depending on the season. Carbon rod, gun, soft ball, the diamond card...

At a casual glance, I believe that scene is from Lost Our Lisa. Bart glues all of that magic crap to his face using rubber cement. Marge takes him to Hibbert so "terror sweat" can save the day and Lisa heads out to the Isis exhibit at the museum on her own.
