The benefit of these episodes as alluded to above is that the writers can basically due whatever they want and half the fun comes from watching what the characters will do in a visually stimulating way. Save for the last segment, it wasn’t all that funny but it had enough in there to make it worth your while. So it was nice to see this segment finally reversing that trend with a delightfully twisted dark tale worthy of Lisa’s opening warning to the audience.Īll in all this years TOH was pretty good.

The final cohabitation scene while not laugh out loud funny did provoke a chuckle leave it to Homer to find a new way to be lazy. The other funny, but small bit, was a leftover from the previous segment where Maggie, still with a touch of Pazuzu, projectile vomits over the house. ![]() Neil Gaiman voiced Snowball with his best scene being where Lisa distracted him with her flashlight. The kooky, stop-motion animation style of the film still felt very much like a Simpsons cartoon. Again, this segment wasn’t all that funny but did provide for some nice visuals. Coralisa did a great job of capturing the look and tone of the source material and giving it a Simpsons-worthy twist.
