Animation March Madness Part IV
The Simpsons Movie
(We open with the Animation March Madness before cutting to an opening parodying the opening to The Simpsons. The title, "The Mayhem Critic", is shown while the choir sings the title. We then see Brian in a classroom writing down "I will not beat up anyone with a butter sock." repeatedly on the blackboard as the school bell rings as he runs out of the classroom. We cut to Sean working at a nuclear power plant while he picks up the glowing DVD copy of "Batman & Robin". He then hears the bell ringing as he runs out. Next, we see Taylor in a movie store while we see Sean's cat Riley on the conveyor belt meowing and put into a paper bag before we cut to Ryoma who's playing the saxophone in the classroom. After that, we see Sean driving up to the garage of his house and gets out with Brian skating past him and Ryoma driving a motorcycle past him before we see the Batmobile from Batman '89 driving up on him and shooting at him with the machine guns as Sean runs inside. We then get our couch gag as we see Sean running up to the couch, only to see Dick Jones, the Phantasm, Nuclear Man, Ghostface and Mr. Freeze ganging up on him. Sean looks around and starts screaming as he runs away while five of the villains from different movies that he reviewed chasing after him)
Phantasm: (While chasing Sean) Your angel of death awaits.
Mr. Freeze: (While chasing Sean) The Iceman Cometh!
(The opening intro ends)
After the opening parodying The Simpsons ends, we cut to Sean J. Archer, a.k.a. the Mayhem Critic sitting on the couch in his living room. But he's not alone. He is joined by his friend Brian and fellow critic Chris Preston-Kisaragi a.k.a. Ryoma the Craze Critic sitting on the couch with him as they begin the introduction to today's review.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Sean the Mayhem Critic, the critic that rips movies a new one." Sean said.
"I'm Sean's friend Brian." Brian said.
"And I'm Ryoma the Craze Critic." Ryoma said.
"And welcome back to Animation March Madness. Let's talk about The Simpsons." Sean said.
(Audience members groaning)
"Oh, stop whining." Sean said.
(Clips from The Simpsons are shown)
Sean: (Narrating) What can we say about the show that hasn't been said before? The show made the biggest impact in history.
Brian: (Narrating) Not only it's the longest running animated series, but also the longest-running primetime show of all time.
Ryoma: (Narrating) If you haven't heard of The Simpsons, then you must've been living under a rock. Though, I will admit that the newer episodes are highly flawed and still clinging onto life by making fun of pop culture. It's like watching your parents trying to be part of the youth culture.
Sean: (Narrating) Despite this, we're still obsessed with the show. I have seasons 1-20 on DVD, with the exception of season nineteen, which I still need to get on DVD. My mom owned Bart vs. the Space Mutants on the NES. Hell, I got the better Simpsons game on the PS3 simply titled "The Simpsons Game". I have a lot of favorite Simpsons episodes. If you don't know what my favorite episodes are, then go check out my Top 11 countdown of my favorite Simpsons episodes. I'm a super fan of the show.
"And since the show was big, they're big enough to be on the big screen. Which is why we're talking about The Simpsons Movie." Sean said.
(The title screen for "The Simpsons Movie" is shown, followed by clips from the movie while the theme performed by Green Day plays in the background)
Sean: (Narrating) Yes, it's been a long time coming and it's the right time to talk about the movie. The Simpsons Movie was released in theaters on July 27th, 2007. Ah, 2007. What a great year that was. It was the year that brought us the final episode of The Sopranos and the birth of iCarly. The Simpsons Movie was one of the movies that I saw in theaters. The other movie that I saw in theaters was…
(Cut to a clip from Spider-Man 3, where we see Emo Peter dancing)
We cut to Sean, Brian and Ryoma just looking at the camera in shock from the scene of Emo Peter dancing.
"Oh, yeah. I was that movie in theaters. And when I get to The Summer of Spider-Man, I'm gonna rip this one a new one." Sean said.
Brian: (Narrating) There were previous attempts to create a Simpsons movie, but failed due to the lack of lengthy script and production crew members until in 2001 producers James L. Brooks, Matt Groening, Al Jean, Richard Sakai and Mike Scully began development of the film with the writing staff consists of Brooks, Groening, Jean, Scully, Ian Maxtone-Graham, George Meyer, David Mirkin, Mike Reiss, Matt Selman, John Swartzwelder and Jon Vitti was assembled as they came up with numerous plot ideas, with Groening's being the one adapted.
Ryoma: (Narrating) The script was rewritten over a hundred times. A hundred times, can you believe it? And it continued after work on the animation process in 2006. There was finished material that got cut from the final release, which included cameo roles from Erin Brockovich, Minnie Driver, Isla Fisher, Kelsey Grammer and Edward Norton.
Sean: (Narrating) And then in 2006, we were treated to a little teaser trailer that was shown right before Ice Age 2: The Meltdown. Rest in peace, Blue Sky Studios. And another teaser trailer back in 2007. And yes, I saw those two and I saw the theatrical trailer while I was watching Die Hard 2 on Fox Movie Channel back in 2007. They had me cracking up. The Simpson Movie was everywhere. You have Burger King and 7-Eleven promoting the movie. Hell, they even premiered the movie in Springfield, Vermont on July 21st, 2007. So the question remains: does this movie still hold up after 14 years?
(A clip from When Harry Met Sally… is shown)
Sally Alright (Played by Meg Ryan): (Faking an orgasm) Yes! Yes! Yes!
"Okay, I think you all know the answer." Brian said.
"So, grab your donuts and your Duff Beer. Let's take a look at The Simpsons Movie." Sean said.
(The movie opens with the 20th Century Fox logo and we see Ralph in the 20th part of the logo)
Brian: (Narrating) The movie begins with the 20th Century Fox logo with Ralph butchering the theme music.
(Ralph sings the Fox Fanfare)
"Yeah, imagine doing that in a movie theater. Every person sitting in that theater would be laughing their asses off." Ryoma said.
"As funny as this opening is, are we just gonna ignore the fact that Ralph had no way of getting up there but got up there anyway? What the hell did he do, use his father's police helicopter? Or maybe the 20th Century Fox logo is a cardboard cutout set with stairs in the back so Ralph could just climb up on all fours. That's something that we're all curious about." Sean said.
Ryoma: (Narrating) We cut to space, where we see a spaceship landing on the surface of the Moon to the music of 2001: A Space Odyssey as we see our favorite cat Scratchy, stepping out of the craft and makes it across to an American Flag, to which Itchy is standing next to.
Scratchy (Voiced by Harry Shearer): We come in peace, for cats and mice everywhere.
(Itchy removes the flagpole from the surface and stabs Scratchy in the chest several times while Scratchy screams)
"Boy, this just got violent from zero to a hundred." Brian said.
Sean: (Narrating) Itchy leaves Scratchy for dead on the Moon as we see him return to Earth as a hero and having a parade for him. Also, "Itchy/Hillary '08" on the banners. I get a great laugh every time when I see that. Anyway, Itchy becomes President until one night, he hears a familiar voice.
Scratchy: (Echoing) Itchy… Itchy…
(Itchy looks up at the Moon with binoculars. Instead of seeing Scratchy lying on the Moon, we see a clip from Superman IV: The Quest for Peace where we see Superman and Nuclear Man fighting on the Moon. Itchy's eyes pop out from out of the binoculars)
"Play the right movie! I do not want to relieve that stupid movie." Sean said.
Brian: (Narrating) Itchy sees Scratchy still lying on the Moon and threatening to tell on him, so he comes up with the perfect plan to shut him up.
(Itchy opens up a secret government machine and sets it to "Accidental Launch", this causes hundreds of rockets to be fired towards the Moon)
"I hope one of those rockets land in Vladimir Putin's backyard or on Trump. Or maybe both." Ryoma said.
Ryoma: (Narrating) The rockets close in on Scratchy as he screams with his mouth wide open, causing them to enter his mouth and swell him up until one final rocket flies in close.
(The final rocket opens a compartment in the front. A boot comes out and kicks Scratchy, causing him to explode into pieces. We then see Homer's head appearing in front of the screen)
Homer Simpson (Voiced by Dan Castellaneta): Boring!
Lisa Simpson (Voiced by Yeardley Smith): Dad! We can't see the movie.
"Damn it, Homer! We're trying to watch the movie. I hate it when people block your view. You'll end up missing the best part of the movie." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) Actually, it turns out that the Simpsons family are sitting in the movie theater watching the newest Itchy & Scratchy movie. So after Homer complains about paying to see something that you get on TV for free and that everyone in the theater is a giant sucker, we get a perfectly crafted opening title sequence with Hans Zimmer's rendition of the theme music before. What can I say about this opening? It's ten times better than the one that we see on television. The only thing that is missing is the couch gag. I mean, we get the chalkboard gag of Bart writing down "I will not illegally download this movie." on the chalkboard, but no couch gag.
Brian: (Narrating) So after the awesome opening title sequence, we cut to Lake Springfield, where we see the rock band Green Day throwing a concert and performing their rendition of The Simpsons theme. Then the lead singer and guitarist of Green Day, voiced by Billie Joe Armstrong, has a few words to say.
Billie Joe Armstrong: Alright, well thanks a lot for coming. We've been playing for three and a half hours, now we'd like just a minute of your time to say something about the environment.
(There is a deathly silence, afterwards a huge boos from the Springfieldians is followed as they start throwing things at Green Day)
We cut to Sean, Brian and Ryoma as they start booing and throwing things.
"Screw you! I paid good money to listen to you guys play American Idiot, not listen to you clowns talk about the environment!" Brian yelled out.
"Yeah, get off of the stage, Captain Planet!" Ryoma yelled out.
"You clowns suck and you're being preachy!" Sean yelled out as he threw a beer bottle across the room.
Billie Joe Armstrong: We're not being preachy!
Frank Edwin Wright III: But the pollution in your lake - it's dissolving our barge.
Lisa Simpson: I thought they touched on a vital issue.
Moe Szyslak (Voiced by Hank Azaria): I beg to differ.
(Moe gets up from out of his deck chair and throws a rock at the stage, which penetrates the bass drum and hits Frank in the crotch)
Frank Edwin Wright III: Oh!
"Okay, apparently Moe is the master of Sniper Elite. That was the perfect shot to the nuts." Ryoma said.
Michael Pritchard: Gentlemen, it's been an honour playing with you tonight.
Ryoma: (Narrating) We get a little parody of the movie Titanic with the band playing the violin as the barge sinks and kills them, we then cut to the First Church of Springfield, where a funeral is being held for Green Day.
(Mrs. Glick plays "American Idiot: Funeral Version" on the organ)
"Oh, what? She can't play "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)"?" Sean asked. "Here, let me do it for you to make this scene better."
(We cut to Mrs. Glick playing on the organ. Instead of "American Idiot: Funeral Version", the funeral version of "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" is being played)
Sean: (Narrating) The Simpsons arrive to church late and their conversation ends up being heard by the congregation.
Homer Simpson: Well I hate going. Why can't I worship the Lord in my own way, by praying like hell on my death bed.
Marge Simpson (Voiced by Julie Kavner): Homer, they can hear you inside!
Homer Simpson: Relax! Those pious morons are too busy talking to their phoney-baloney God!
(The family enter the church to total silence and angry looks from people. They make their way to their pew)
Homer Simpson: How ya doin'? Peace be with you. Praise Jebus.
"And Homer is known for wanting to stay at home and watch the football game instead of going to church. Shame on you." Brian said.
Brian: (Narrating) During the ceremony, Reverend Lovejoy is busy talking until Grampa Simpson has himself a spiritual experience and reveals a prophecy that is coming.
Grampa Abe Simpson (Also voiced by Dan Castellaneta): Horrible! Horrible things are going to happen! (He starts pointing) And they're going to happen to you, and you, and you… (Points at Marge) and you! Oh nelly!
(Grampa falls to the floor, writhing. Comic Book Guy calmly starts recording him with a camera phone)
"Right. Let me make this call." Sean said, picking up his phone from off of the coffee table and starts dialing the number. "Hello, is this the Hospital for the Insanity? Yes, there's an old man going crazy in front of people at a church. No, it's not because he watched Batman & Robin. No, something different. Much different. Look, just get his ass, alright. There, I made the call."
Grampa Abe Simpson: People of Springfield! Heed this warning. Twisted tail! A thousand eyes! Trapped forever! (He 'walks' in a circle on the floor, making noises)/Beware! Beware! Time is short. Eeepa! Eeepa! Eeeeeeepaaaaa!
"Okay, either he's losing his marbles or he's possessed by a demon." Ryoma said.
Ryoma: (Narrating) After that little outburst at church, the family leaves as Marge takes this warning seriously. But, Homer doesn't take the warning seriously and take the family out for waffles.
Marge Simpson: Something happened to that man.
Homer Simpson: I'll tell ya what happened: A certain someone had a senior moment. But that's okay, because we love him, and we got a free rug out of it. (Kisses Grampa on the forehead)
Marge Simpson: What is the point of going to church every Sunday, when if someone we love has a genuine religious experience, we ignore it? Right Grampa?
Grampa Abe Simpson: I want bananas on my waffles!
Homer Simpson: I rest my case.
"Hey, I'm in the mood for waffles too. Anyone want any waffles?" Sean asked.
"Nah, french toast with a couple of boiled eggs and some breakfast sausage." Brian said.
"I take some waffles with a side of bacon and scrambled eggs." Ryoma said.
Sean: (Narrating) Later, we see that Homer is doing some chores at home and he has his son Bart tagging along with him.
Homer Simpson: Steady… steady…
(Homer suddenly stabs himself in the eye with the back of the hammer)
Homer Simpson: Owww! Owww!
(Bart laughs hysterically while Homer pulls the hammer out of his eye)
Homer Simpson: Why you little…! (Strangles Bart) I'll teach you to laugh at something that's funny!
(A clip from Steve is shown)
Steve Harvey: That's child abuse right there!
Bart Simpson (Voiced by Nancy Cartwright): You know, we are on the roof. We could have some fun.
Homer Simpson: What kind of fun?
"Oh, I don't know. Probably push you off of the roof after years of strangling your own son." Sean said.
Brian: (Narrating) No, but instead the two of them have themselves a little dare contest. But we'll get to that later as we cut to Lisa, who's going from door to door talking to people about the pollution in Lake Springfield, but people keep slamming the door in her face.
"I guess people don't like to save the planet." Brian said.
Milhouse Van Houten (Voiced by Pamela Hayden): Come on over, Lisa. You can canvas me as long as you want.
"Ewww." Ryoma said with a shocked look on his face.
Ryoma: (Narrating) But then love is in the air when Lisa falls in love with a boy who cares about the environment as much as her.
Colin (Voiced by Tress MacNeille): Are you aware that a leaky faucet can waste over…
(The door is slammed in his face)
Lisa Simpson: (Finishes his sentence) Two thousand gallons a year.
Colin: And turning off your lights could save…
Lisa Simpson: ...enough energy to power Pittsburgh!
Colin: And if we just kept our thermostats at sixty-eight in the winter…
Lisa Simpson: ...we'd be free from our dependency on foreign oil in seventeen years!
(A clip from iCarly is shown)
Carly Shay (Played by Miranda Cosgrove): (Sees a cute boy) B'doyng!
Sam Puckett (Played by Jenette McCurdy): What what, hot guy, hot guy? Where is he? Where is he? Who?
Sean: (Narrating) This little Irish kid is named Colin, voiced by Tress MacNeille, and Lisa falls in love with him instantly.
Colin: Just moved here from Ireland. My Dad's a musician.
Lisa Simpson: Is he…
Colin: He's not Bono.
Lisa Simpson: I just thought because you're Irish, and you care about…
Colin: (Angrily) He's not Bono!
"Are you sure? Because Bono's Irish and he cares about the environment. Hell, he even appeared in an episode of The Simpsons." Sean said.
"Colin just said that he's not Bono." Ryoma said.
"But he…" Sean said.
"He's not Bono!" Brian said angrily.
"Wankers." Sean pouted.
Lisa Simpson: (Thinking) He's pure gold! For once in your life, be cool!
Colin: So, is your name as pretty as your face?
(Lisa lets out a loud laugh and faints)
Colin: You okay there?
(Lisa laughs and giggles)
(Another clip from iCarly is shown)
Carly Shay: Look at that boy. Look at him. I want that for Christmas.
Brian: (Narrating) Meanwhile, Marge watches Grampa's ramblings on Comic Book Guy's camera-phone and tries to figure out what he's talking about.
Marge Simpson: Eepa? What could that be?
Comic Book Guy (Also voiced by Hank Azaria): I believe it's the sound the Green Lantern made when Sinestro threw him into a vat of acid. Eeepaa!
"Okay, as a guy who knows his comics, Green Lantern Vol 4, #25 referenced this in the comic. It was in stores in November of 2007." Sean said.
Ryoma: (Narrating) Back with Homer and Bart, we see that they're continuing their dares until Homer comes up with the ultimate dare. A dare so epic that Bart would never turn it down.
Homer Simpson: I dare YOU to skateboard to Krusty Burger- and back- naked!
Bart Simpson: How naked?
Homer Simpson: Fourth base.
Bart Simpson: But girls might see my doodle.
Homer Simpson: (Taunting) Oh, I see. Then I hereby declare you 'chicken for life'. Every morning you'll wake up to "Good morning chicken!" At your wedding, I'll sing… (He sings the wedding anthem in clucking noises; as Bart skateboard past him naked, he makes a surprised clucking sound)
"Hey, you shouldn't have called him a 'chicken', Homer." Brian said.
"Oh, man. Let the insanity begin." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) And then we come to this memorable scene of the movie where Bart skateboards through Springfield naked and shocking the townspeople. It was pretty ballsy for a Simpsons-movie. And speaking of ballsy, I like how they tend to cover up Bart's twig and berries.
(Bart passes through a hedge with the bottom cut out, and we get to see his "doodle")
"Okay, for most of the time." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) Hell, we even get some funny dialogue coming from Ralph after he sees Bart naked.
Ralph Wiggum (Also voiced by Nancy Cartwright): I like men now.
Brian: (Narrating) But the police catch Bart in the act as Lou fires at Bart and takes out the back wheel of Bart's skateboard, which sends Bart flying right towards the Krusty Burger window.
Ned Flanders (Also voiced by Harry Shearer): Boys, before we eat, don't forget to thank the Lord for this bountiful…
(Bart hits the window, sticking to it with the french fry covering his "doodle")
Ned Flanders: ...penis?!
Rod Flanders & Todd Flanders (Also voiced by Pamela Hayden and Nancy Cartwright): Bountiful penis.
Todd Flanders: Amen.
(A clip from the You and Your Johnson commercial is shown)
Singer: You, your kids and your Johnson.
Ryoma: (Narrating) And to top it off, Bart gets handcuffed to the lamp post and gets humiliated by Nelson)
Nelson Muntz (Also voiced by Nancy Cartwright): Ha ha! Ha ha! Ha ha! (Fades to much later; Nelson is still going but is tired) Ha ha… Ha ha… Ha ha…
Mrs. Muntz (Also voiced by Tress MacNeille): Nelson, honey, where have you been?
(Nelson points at Bart)
Mrs. Muntz: Ha ha! Ha ha! Ha ha!
"Boy, I haven't seen a public humiliation like that since Cersei Lannister's walk of shame in Game of Thrones." Ryoma said as a clip from Game of Thrones is shown.
(Homer pulls up in the car)
Bart Simpson: Dad!
Homer Simpson: What seems to be the problem, officers?
Bart Simpson: Tell them you dared me to do it!
Chief Wiggum (Also voiced by Hank Azaria): If that's true, then you should be taking the rap here, not your son.
Homer Simpson: (Getting out of the car) And what happens to me if it's my fault?
Chief Wiggum: You'll have to attend a one-hour parenting class.
Homer Simpson: It was all his idea! He's out of control I tall ya! Oh, I'm at my wit's end. (Sobs)
"Homer, you're a failure as a father. This whole thing was your idea. You sir are a bad parent." Sean said, imitating Dr. Phil.
Sean: (Narrating) After getting some clothes on and getting a pair of pants from Ned Flanders, Bart gets ticked off at Homer for not taking the blame for him. That is until, Homer spots a pig wearing a hat and he ends up adopting the pig, which shocks Marge because she identify's the pig as part of Grampa's prophecy.
Marge Simpson: I believe what happened in church was a warning about precisely this! Please get rid of that pig!
Homer Simpson: Oh, you're gonna love him! Look, he does an impression of you. (Homer pulls its tail and it squeals; Homer laughs) You nailed her.
"Who keeps a pig for a pet? If you keep a pig as a pet, then you know what it'll end up as… dinner. Just add a little pineapple and some brown sugar glaze and you got yourself a holiday ham." Brian said.
"Or the perfect BLT." Ryoma said.
"Or the perfect bacon cheeseburger." Sean said.
Brian: (Narrating) Bart gets jealous of Homer's relationship with the pig and he sees how Flanders has the perfect relationship with his sons and the two of them get to talking. He even invites him to take him fishing and Flanders makes him some of the best good looking cocoa.
(Flanders sprays whipped cream on top of a mug and places it on the window sill. He adds a wafer, then grates some chocolate over it. Then sprays more whipped cream over the wafer. Then sticks a marshmallow on top of the cream. Then takes a blow torch to the marshmallow, browning it . Flanders leaves as Bart cautiously approaches, takes the cup and retreats to the other side of the garden and takes a sip)
Bart Simpson: Oh my God.
"Man, I'm sure in the mood for some Flanders' hot cocoa. At least Binging with Babish has a video on how to make the stuff. And also how to make Judy the Elf's hot cocoa from The Santa Clause." Sean said.
"Flanders' hot cocoa is the type of drink that will make you say, "oh my God"." Brian said.
"And I thought amazing sex at night would've made Fiona say, "oh my God."." Ryoma said.
"Hell, I would've thought that Galini's Pie would've made people go, "oh my God"." Sean said.
(Another clip from iCarly is shown)
Freddie Benson (Played by Nathan Kress): (After taking his first bite of Galini Pie) Oh my God!
Ryoma: (Narrating) Marge is busy cleaning up the pig tracks left from Homer's pig while Lisa gushes about her new love interest and how he loves the environment and we come to the best part of the movie.
Marge Simpson: (Looks up at the ceiling) How did the pig tracks get on the ceiling?
(Homer is holding the pig upside down and running him back and forth along the ceiling. He sings to the tune of the Spider-Man theme)
Homer Simpson: (Sings) Spider-Pig, Spider-Pig. Does whatever a Spider-Pig does. Can he swing from a web? No he can't, he's a pig. Look out! He is a Spider-Pig.
(Marge looks on blankly before we cut to a clip from Spider-Man 2 as we see J. Jonah Jameson laughing)
Sean: (Narrating) The next day, we see Bart is doing some fishing with Flanders at Lake Springfield and ends up getting bored out of his mind.
Bart Simpson: Are we having fun yet?
Ned Flanders: We are now: you've got a bite!
Bart Simpson: (Trying to reel it in) Whoa, mama!
(The fishing rod is pulled away from him; it falls into the lake)
Ned Flanders: Oh no, my good pole!
"And immediately, he ends up dropping Flanders' good pole in the lake. Shame on you." Sean said.
(Bart acts as if he's being strangled, then realizes he's not)
Bart Simpson: Huh? You're not strangling me.
Ned Flanders: What the- - Strangling's only good for… well, it's not really good for anything. I think the only time you should lay hand on a boy is if you're giving him a good old pat on the back.
(Flanders reaches for Bart)
Bart Simpson: Hey, what the hell are ya- - (Ned pats him on the back. Ah. One more time.
(A sound clip from the You and Your Johnson commercial plays)
Singer: You, your kids and your Johnson.
"Hey, not cool, dude." Brian said.
"Sorry, had to be done." Sean chuckled a bit.
Brian: (Narrating) But this emotional moment is ruined by more of the townspeople polluting Lake Springfield and this pisses off Lisa as she holds a meeting at Springfield Town Hall and she goes all Captain Planet on their asses about the environment.
Lisa Simpson: Okay, so here's the bottom line. If we don't change our ways right now, pollution in Lake springfield will be at this level.
(Lisa is on a scissor lift, sher tries to point to the top of the graph, but the platform only raises a short way)
Lenny (Also voiced by Harry Shearer): That's not so bad.
Lisa Simpson: No, the lift is stuck!
(Lisa pulls a lever and tries to raise it; it jumps up and down several times before crashing through the ceiling. She pokes her head down.
Lisa Simpson: Am I getting through to anyone?
Krusty the Clown (Also voiced by Dan Castellaneta): Hell yeah! We need a new one of those things! (Points to the lift)
"Yeah, I don't think anyones gonna listen to Lisa. They don't care about the environment. They'll just keep polluting the water." Sean said.
Lisa Simpson: This lake is just one piece of trash away from a toxic nightmare! But I knew you wouldn't listen. So I took the liberty of pouring water from the lake in all your drinking glasses.
(Everyone has just taken a sip; they all spit out their green water simultaneously)
We cut back to Sean, Brian and Ryoma as they look on in shock.
"Lisa, have you lost your big-brained mind?! You just tried to poison the whole town!" Sean yelled out.
"Yeah, and this is why Beck Oliver doesn't drink water from mountain streams." Brian said.
(A clip from Victorious is shown)
Beck Oliver (Played by Avan Jogia): Mountain streams are full of fish.
Andre Harris (Played by Leon Thomas III): So?
Beck Oliver: Fish pee.
(Andre is drinking his bottled water)
Beck Oliver: You're drinking fish pee.
(Andre stops drinking his water)
Ryoma: (Narrating) After Lisa convinces the whole town, Mayor Quimby declares a state of emergency as the whole town cleans up Lake Springfield. They even make a barrier around the lake to make it idiot-proof.
Sean: (Narrating) Back at the Simpsons' house, Marge gets disgusted by the pig's crap in an overflowing silo and she tells Homer to dispose of it properly. So, he drives to a hazardous waste treatment center to dispose the pig crap, but something has come up when Lenny calls Homer to tell him that Lard Lad Donuts is giving away free donuts.
Brian: (Narrating) Homer, being a lover of donuts, decides to do something stupid by dumping the silo into the newly-cleaned lake and polluting it. Resulting in a squirrel turning into a multi-eyed mutant. Bart and Ned come across the mutant squirrel until the Environmental Protection Agency shows up and carries the mutant away.
Ryoma: (Narrating) We then cut to the White House and we're introduced to Russ Cargill, voiced by A. Brooks. That's Albert Brooks. Cargill is the head of the EPA and he has a meeting with President Schwarzenegger and informs him on Springfield's pollution crisis.
Russ Cargill (Voiced by A. Brooks): You know sir, when you made me head of the EPA, you were applauded for appointing one of the most successful men in America to the least successful agency in government. ANd why did I take the job: 'cause I'm a rich man and wanted to give something back. Not the money, but something. So here is our chance to kick some ass for Mother Earth.
President Schwarzenegger (Also voiced by Harry Shearer): I'm listening.
Russ Cargill: Well, I've narrowed your choices down, to five unthinkable options. Each will cause untold misery-
President Schwarzenegger: I pick number three!
Russ Cargill: You don't even wanna read them first?
President Schwarzenegger: I was elected to lead, not to read. Number three!
"And this is why you shouldn't have a hulking Austrian in the White House. He'll be making stupid choices." Sean said.
(A clip from The Terminator is shown, as we see the Terminator, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, shooting firing his Armalite AR-18 assault rifle and SPAS-12 shotgun. Note: the scene is played with the original sound effects from the movie)
Sean, Brian and Ryoma immediately duck down for cover as the Terminator shoots at them.
"Note to self: never badmouth Arnold Schwarzenegger." Sean said.
"But we can all agree that Batman & Robin sucked." Ryoma said.
"Agreed." Brian said.
Sean: (Narrating) And option three involves trapping the entire town under a massive dome, much to the horror of the Simpsons and the townspeople. We see some of the people trying to crack the dome, but they fail miserably, until Cargill appears on a gigantic TV screen.
Russ Cargill: My name's Russ Cargill, and I'm the head of the EPA.
(Everyone looks puzzled)
Moe Szyslak: The what?
Russ Cargill: The Environmental Protection Agency.
Lenny: Come again?
Russ Cargill: Look, I'm the man on a big TV, just listen, Springfield has become…
"Hold on, let me change the channel." Sean said as he picks up the remote to change the channel.
(TV static transitions to: iCarly)
Carly Shay: Hey! I'm 3 ½ ounces of Carly…
Sam Puckett: And I'm a heaping tablespoon of Sam.
Carly Shay: Put us in a tall glass…
(TV static transitions to: TruTV's World's Dumbest Criminals 9)
Brad Loekle: Please, somebody call 9-1-1! They are kicking my ass!
(TV static transitions to: Batman: The Animated Series)
Joker (Voiced by Mark Hamill): Well, that was fun! Who's up for Chinese?
(TV static transitions to: Caillou)
Caillou: Rosie, no!
(Sees Rosie drawing on the wall)
Caillou: No, Rosie. Give me that!
(Caillou and Rosie fight over the crayon)
Rosie: No, no! Mine!
"Quick, change it back to Cargill!" Ryoma yelled out as Sean immediately changes the channel.
(TV static transitions to: Russ Cargill)
Russ Cargill: Believe me, it's the last thing we wanted to do. I do own the company that makes the dome, but that's beside the point.
Lisa Simpson: Wait, wait! We couldn't be more polluted; everybody stopped dumping in the lake!
Russ Cargill: Apparently someone didn't get the message.
(Homer steps away from the pig)
Homer Simpson: Act natural.
"Homer Simpson, you done screwed up good!" Brian exclaimed.
"Yeah. Because of your stupidity, the whole town is under the dome." Ryoma said.
"And who's fault is it?" Sean asked.
"YOURS!" The three of them said at the same time.
Brian: (Narrating) And because of Homer's stupidity, the whole town of Springfield must live under the dome. And then we get a news report from Kent Brockman, who calls this incident "Trappucino".
Kent Brockman (Also voiced by Harry Shearer): The dome has put an end to life as we know it. The town is running low on supplies of everything from gasoline to Botox. (His face disfigures) Moment, please.
"Oh, my God!" Sean exclaimed, looking horrified.
"Goddamn, he look like the Nightmare's face from Metroid Fusion." Ryoma said as a picture of Nightmare's grotesque face is shown next to Kent Brockman's disfigured face.
Ryoma: (Narrating) Meanwhile, Marge is sitting outside trying to enjoy life in the dome. Boy, that's how life felt during the pandemic. Until, she sees Maggie outside of the dome.
"Hey, look. Baby Maggie is outside of the dome… what the hell?!" Sean said, with a surprised look on his face.
Marge Simpson: Maggie got out! Maggie got out!
Homer Simpson: Huh?
(Homer and Marge both run outside as Marge sees that Maggie is not outside of the dome)
Marge Simpson: Maggie was right there. Just outside the dome.
Homer Simpson: Marge, she's right here.
(Homer steps over to the side, only to reveal that Maggie is playing in the sandbox)
Marge Simpson: Hmm…?
"Oh, great. I've been drinking again." Ryoma said, imitating Marge.
Sean: (Narrating) But it turns out that the Maggie goes into a sinkhole that Homer covered with the sandbox earlier, which sends her to the other side and back. Later that evening, Chief Wiggum, Eddie and Lou find the pig silo and Homer's name written on the back of the silo as Homer and Marge watch the live broadcast. And because of his stupidity…
"All together now." Sean said
"It was at this very moment that Homer Simpson knew… he fucked up." The three of them said at the same time.
Brian: (Narrating) The townspeople form an angry mob to go after Homer and his family…
(A clip from TruTV's World's Dumbest Criminals is shown. It's the "Take Back the Streets with John Enos" bit)
John Enos: I do condone vigilante justice, unless it works. (Winks at the camera and smiles)
Brian: (Narrating) ...they ransack their home and Ned tries to save them, until the pig tries to have them killed.
Homer Simpson: No, Plopper. If you push that, daddy will die.
(Plopper pushes the plank off of the window sill, which sends the Simpsons falling to the ground. Marge, Lisa, Bart and Maggie land safely while Homer lands on top of the grill)
Homer Simpson: (Sees the shrimp in the grill) Hey, my luck's beginning to turn.
(Homer grabs the shrimp with his tongue and eats it)
"You know there's nothing better than finding shrimp in the grill and eating it while everyone is trying to kill you. Which makes me wonder, how long has that shrimp been in the grill? Has it been there since '89?" Sean asked.
Ryoma: (Narrating) After Marge rushes through the burning house to grab their wedding video, the Simpsons make their escape, only to get caught again as the townspeople get ready to lynch them. They escape onto the treehouse by climbing the nooses but Homer gets stuck onto them and tries to apologize.
Homer Simpson: (Narrating) You know, the word "apology" is tossed around a lot these days, but when it comes from in here…
(Homer gets hit in the head with a power saw)
Homer Simpson: D'oh!
Sean: (V/O as Townsperson) Shut the fuck up, fatty!
Sean: (Narrating) Otto gets ready to bring the tree down with his bus, but then Maggie shows the family the escape route through the other side, which leads to the other side of the dome and they make their escape.
Homer Simpson: So long, losers!
(Homer jumps in the sandbox while he flips off the townspeople, but he gets temporarily stuck)
Homer Simpson: Uh-oh.
"Yeah, not the brightest idea to be flipping off the whole town right when you're trying to make your escape. And does this count as one "F-Bomb" in this movie since it's PG-13?" Brian asked.
Brian: (Narrating) Homer eventually makes his escape until the sinkhole goes unstable, causing everybody to flee the area as it devours and destroys the house and I have to say, this is some pretty good animation right here.
Ryoma: (Narrating) As the Simpsons look on at their destroyed home, Lisa sees Colin next to the dome and he plays a song to her.
(Colin plays a song to Lisa, but there's no sound)
Lisa Simpson: I can't hear you!
"Oh, here. Let me add some music to this scene." Ryoma said, pressing a button.
(We cut back to Colin playing music on his guitar as the song "With or Without You" by U2 plays in the background)
"There. Much better." Ryoma said.
"Have to admit, it's one of my favorite songs from U2." Sean said.
Lisa Simpson: I never thought my life would have an absolutely perfect moment, but this…
Bart Simpson: (Singsongy): Lisa's got a boyfriend that she'll never see again!
(Lisa punches Bart in the face)
Announcer: K.O.!
(Bell rings)
Sean: (Narrating) So now, the family are on the run as Russ Cargill becomes mad with power and he is determined to keep anyone from getting out of the dome and to get the Simpsons back in the dome. The family hide out from the EPA in a dingy motel, with the family still livid at Homer, he tries to apologize to them for his blunder.
Homer Simpson: Look, I know I screwed up. This is big.
Marge Simpson: It's huge! We're homeless! Our friends want to kill us. Before we can even stay in the same room with you, I need to know what was going through your mind when you didn't listen to me and dumped that silo in the lake.
"Really, Marge? You want to know what was going on in his mind? All he was thinking about were donuts." Brian said.
(We cut to a montage of Homer eating donuts)
"The man is clearly a donut junkie and he needs help. Serious help." Brian said.
"Come on. Making Homer stop eating donuts is like Norm Peterson from Cheers stop drinking beer. Who am I kidding? You can't stop Norm Peterson from drinking beer." Ryoma laughed.
Brian: (Narrating) Homer apologizes to his family and he has a solution that he has planned if he screwed up, which involves them starting a new life in Alaska. Marge is hesitant at first, but Homer manages to get her to follow him. But before they head down to Alaska, the Simpsons stop at a carnival the next day where a carny is offering his truck to someone if they can ride a motorcycle in a round cage.
Homer Simpson: What's the catch?
Carnival Barker (Also voiced by Hank Azaria): No catch… just ride the motorcycle all the way around just one time. Three tries for $10.
Homer Simpson: Marge, how much money do we have?
Marge Simpson: Ten dollars.
Homer Simpson: Whoo-hoo!
"Right. So, how long until Homer fails miserably?" Sean asked as he looks at his watch.
(Homer gets on the bike. He kicks the kickstand up and the bike falls over. Then, we cut to his second try as we see Homer start the bike and drives up, but then he falls to the bottom. Then for his third try, he does the same thing again)
"Wow, not that long. Great job, Homer. Great job." Sean said.
"Wow, three tries and he manages to fail miserably." Ryoma said.
"What a shame." Brian said.
Ryoma: (Narrating) But since the carny guy is a caring man, he gives Homer one more try, just because he enjoys watching Homer getting hurt.
"I mean, come on. We all get a kick out of watching Homer hurt himself on the show." Ryoma said.
(We cut to a montage of Homer hurting himself on the show while the song "Hurts So Good" by John Mellencamp plays in the background during the montage)
Lisa Simpson: Dad, when you get to the top, don't slow down, speed up!
Homer Simpson: But that's when it's the scariest!
Lisa Simpson: Just do it!
"Um…" Sean said.
Lisa Simpson: (Her voice is replaced with Shia LeBeauf's voice) JUST DO IT!
Sean: (Narrating) Homer takes courage to do so and he succeeds by winning the new truck and the family are on their way to Alaska. Back in Springfield, power outages plague the whole town as Dr. Hibbert, Chief Wiggum and Apu arrive at Burns Manor and ask Mr. Burns for electricity.
Mr. Burns (Also voiced by Harry Shearer): I have two buttons behind this desk. One will supply your town with power, the other releases the hounds. Reach me, make me your brother.
Dr. Hibbert (Also voiced by Harry Shearer): The hospital's generator is about to give out. Lives will be lost.
Mr. Burns: Lives lost. Go on.
Chief Wiggum: We got a convict we were gonna fry tomorrow, but now we can't.
Mr. Burns: Tempting. Tempting.
Apu (Also voiced by Hank Azaria): Look, all our reasons mean nothing. Just look into your heart and you'll find the answer.
"Uh… I don't think you would want to tell Mr. Burns to look into his heart. This is the most evil man in Springfield. He's evil than Darkness, the Joker and Max Zorin combined. You would think that he would do something good for you." Brian said.
(We cut to the dogs chasing Hibbert, Wiggum and Apu out of the mansion screaming)
"Told ya." Brian said.
Brian: (Narrating) Back with the Simpsons, they finally arrive at Alaska and they start their new lives at their new home. And what better way to break in their new home is by having Homer and Marge having a little private time to themselves.
(Some Disney-style orchestration plays in the background. Homer gets ready to close the blinds as two singing birds enter the room as Homer and Marge prepare to make love and be pampered by the animals)
"Oh look, they brought Bambi and his father with them. Man, don't you wish you would want animals to pamper you while you're about to prepare to make love. I wish that it would happen for me and Cheryl." Brian said.
"Really? I only play the song "Rico Suave" while I'm about to get busy with Fiona." Ryoma said.
Both Sean and Brian turn to Ryoma and give him a look.
"What?" Ryoma asked.
"You played that song during sex with Fiona?" Sean asked.
"Yeah." Ryoma said.
"Dude, I would rather play "Freak Me" during sex with Taylor. Not that stupid song. Haven't you ever watched Todd in the Shadows?" Sean asked.
"No." Ryoma said.
"He did an episode of "One Hit Wonderland" on that song." Sean said.
"Hey, it's a pretty catchy song." Ryoma said.
Ryoma: (Narrating) Back in Springfield, we see that the dome situation is getting pretty dire as everybody start freaking out and attempt to crack the dome while Cargill witnesses the madness from a surveillance camera. Oh yeah, an elephant managed to crack the dome, which makes Cargill start to panic.
Russ Cargill: People got out of the dome before, they're going to get out again. And when they do, there's going to be hearings, investigations.
(President Schwarzenegger speaks in German)
President Arnold Schwarzenegger: I'll have to go back to making family comedies.
"That means that I'll do Kindergarten Cop 2 and Jingle All the Way 2." Sean said, imitating Arnold Schwarzenegger.
"Uh, Sean." Ryoma said.
"Yeah?" Sean said.
"They've already made Kindergarten Cop 2 with Dolph Lundgren and Jingle All the Way 2 with Larry the Cable Guy." Brian said.
"Oh. Well, those idiots can keep those two pieces of shit sequels." Sean said.
Russ Cargill: Don't worry, I have a solution for you, sir. In fact, I have five solutions. You don't even have to read them. You'll have deniability. I'll take care of everything. You know nothing.
President Arnold Schwarzenegger: No. I need to know what I'm approving.
Russ Cargill: Absolutely. But on the other hand, knowing things is overrated. Anyone can pick something when they know what it is. It takes real leadership to pick something you're clueless about.
President Arnold Schwarzenegger: Okay, I pick three.
Russ Cargill: Try again.
President Arnold Schwarzenegger: One.
Russ Cargill: Go higher.
President Arnold Schwarzenegger: Five.
Russ Cargill: Too high.
President Arnold Schwarzenegger: Three?
Russ Cargill: You already said three.
President Arnold Schwarzenegger: Six?
"Oh, for Christ's sake. Just pick one!" Brian yelled out.
President Arnold Schwarzenegger: Four!
Russ Cargill: As you wish, sir.
Ryoma: (Narrating) Cargill tricks President Schwarzenegger into picking Option 4. What is Option 4? It involves blowing up Springfield.
Sean: (Narrating) Back in Alaska, we see that Homer and Marge are busy watching TV with Lisa and Maggie, until they come across a commercial promoting the "New Grand Canyon", featuring Tom Hanks of all people. And where is the "New Grand Canyon" located at? Well, it'll be located east of Shelbyville and south of Capital City.
Marge Simpson: That's where Springfield is!
Tom Hanks: It's nowhere near where anything is or ever was. This is Tom Hanks saying if you're going to pick a government to trust, why not this one?
"Wasn't that the tagline for the CIA?" Sean asked.
Brian: (Narrating) After seeing the commercial, Marge and the kids decide to head back and save Springfield, but Homer doesn't want to because he is furious about the townspeople trying to kill them earlier.
Lisa Simpson: Dad, how can you turn your back on everyone who loved us?
Bart Simpson: Flanders helped us when we were in trouble.
Homer Simpson: Who cares what Flanders did? He's not your father.
Bart Simpson: I wish he was.
Homer Simpson: You don't mean that. You worship me.
Bart Simpson: Oh, yeah? Look what I did to your picture.
(Bart shows Homer a picture of him with Flanders' hair, glasses and moustache drawn onto him as Homer gasps in shock)
Bart Simpson: Look at it! Howdilly-doodilly. Howdilly-doodilly. Howdilly-doodilly.
Homer Simpson: Why, you little… (Homer strangles Bart) I'll strangle-angle you!
Bart Simpson: Diddily, diddily.
"Die, Flanders! Die! You will join your wife Maude!" Ryoma said.
Marge Simpson: Homer… in every marriage you get one chance to say: "I need you to do this with me."
Homer Simpson: That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
"Dude, you said that line to her earlier, you selfish bastard!" Sean yelled out.
Ryoma: (Narrating) Homer leaves the house furiously and heads down to Eski-Moe's tavern for a beer and play some "Grand Theft Walrus". Hmm, still a better game than Cybertusk 2077. He returns home only to find a tape that Marge left for him.
Marge Simpson: (On video) Homer… I've always stood up for you. When people point out your flaws, I always say, "Well, sometimes, you have to stand back to appreciate a work of art."
(Homer laughs while cleaning his ear with his finger)
Homer Simpson: Way back.
Marge Simpson: Lately, what's keeping us together is my ability to overlook everything you do. And I overlook these things because…
Homer Simpson: Because?
Marge Simpson: Well, that's the thing. I just don't know how to finish that sentence anymore. So I'm leaving with the kids to help Springfield, and we're never coming back. And to prove to myself that this is the end… I taped this over our wedding video. Good-bye, Homie.
(Homer looks at what is left of the wedding video while the song "Close to You" by the Carpenters plays)
We then cut back to Sean, Brian and Ryoma, who are trying to hold back their tears from watching the scene play out.
Marge Simpson: I love you.
(Marge and Homer kiss before we cut to Homer running out of the house)
Homer Simpson: Marge?! Kids?!
(Homer runs down a hill and faints on a heart-shaped ice floe, which breaks into two. The scene fades to black before we see the words "TO BE CONTINUED" on the screen)
"Excuse us. We're going to take a quick little break. And now a word from your sponsors." Sean said as he gets up from off of the couch and leaves the room before he breaks down crying. "OH, MY GOD! WHY?!"
Sean: (Narrating) After that little intermission, we find Homer lying in the snow and is about to become a polar's meal, but the bear is scared off by a mysterious woman, who saves Homer's life and takes care of him. Meanwhile, we see a heartbroken Marge on a train headed for Springfield with her kids.
Marge Simpson: What are you doing up there?
Bart Simpson: Looking through people's luggage. (Goes through people's luggage and has a bra on top of his head before speaking in a high-pitched voice) I'm the mascot of an evil corporation. (Laughs)
"Hey, genius. In a couple of years, you're going to be working for the mouse. So watch it." Ryoma said.
Brian: (Narrating) Back with Homer, he wakes up in the mysterious woman's hut. It turns out that the mysterious woman is an Inuit shaman, who tells him that he must have an epiphany.
Homer Simpson: What's an epiphany?
Medicine Woman (Also voiced by Tress MacNeille): Sudden realization of great truth.
Homer Simpson: Okay.
Brian: (Narrating) They continue the ancient Inuit art of throat singing until Homer is sent into a bizarre dreamworld, in which he is beaten, kicked and pulled apart by the living trees from Mortal Kombat II, until he realizes his epiphany.
Homer Simpson: Because other people are just as important as me. Without them, I'm nothing. In order to save myself… I have to save Springfield! That's it… isn't it?
(The "epiphitrees" put Homer back together and applaud him before Homer wakes up from his dream)
Homer Simpson: That was the most incredible experience of my life. And now to find my family, save my town and drop ten pounds. (Hugs the Medicine Woman) Thank you, Boob Lady!
Ryoma: (Narrating) As Homer heads off to save his family and the town, Marge and the kids finally arrive in Seattle, until they are captured by Russ Cargill. Meanwhile, Homer continues his trek through the snow and braves from getting mauled by his sled dogs and being caught in a blizzard. He eventually makes it to Springfield and he sees what the EPA has done, until he hears Lisa playing the saxophone in one of the trucks. And who can forget about this hilarious scene that we've seen in the teaser trailer?
(Homer tries to hit the truck with a wrecking ball, but fails)
Bart Simpson: (Gasps) Did you hear something?
Lisa Simpson: Probably just a moth.
Marge Simpson: I hope it's okay.
(The wrecking ball comes back and hits Homer and he travels back and forth between a rock and a bar literally called "A Hard Place" before he falls to the ground)
"Come on, guys. You have to admit that you get a laugh every time from that joke." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) Bart tries to break free from his handcuffs by scratching them off until the EPA knocks them out by filling the compartment with gas and the family wakes up in Springfield to see it in ruins. Fun fact: there was a deleted scene in the movie when everyone went insane and crazy. Then, Moe appears and he proclaims himself as the emperor of Springfield.
Barney Gumble (Also voiced by Dan Castellaneta): No, you're not!
(Barney throws a Molotov cocktail at Moe, but Moe catches it)
Moe Szyslak: Yes, I am! (Throws the Molotov cocktail back at Barney)
Barney Gumble: Okay… hail emperor.
"Hey, let's be glad that Moe didn't turn into this guy." Brian said as a photo of Emperor Palpatine from The Rise of Skywalker is shown.
Brian: (Narrating) Russ Cargill appears on the giant TV screen and announces to them that putting the whole town inside the dome was a mistake and that they're commencing with Operation: Soaring Eagle.
(The townspeople start cheering)
Russ Cargill: ...which involves killing you all.
"Yeah. Killing the whole town with a small but powerful bomb. Man, you sure are insane." Ryoma said.
(A helicopter lowers the bomb, which is timed at 15 minutes, as the townspeople start panicking and start finding cover or shelter)
Marge Simpson: Despite everything, I miss your father.
Bart Simpson: Me, too. His big fat ass could shield us all.
"Yeah, that and pieces of him will be all over the place." Sean said.
Ryoma: (Narrating) Homer arrives at the dome and knocks out a guard while he was dressed as a general, then climbs up the dome with super glue. Funny, because there's a jetpack that he could use to easily get up there faster without using superglue.
"Hey, you know what they say: "Stupidity pays a price."." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) While all that's going on, Carl has a plan to escape the dome while someone distracts Cargill, but that plan fails when Homer descends down the rope and knocking the townspeople and the bomb down.
Homer Simpson: Homer do good?
Bart Simpson: Actually, you doomed us all. Again. Nice knowing you, Homer.
"Damn, Bart disowned Homer. Geez, things couldn't possibly get any worse." Sean said.
Homer Simpson: (Crying) I can't do anything right!
(Homer kicks the bomb over, which halves the bomb's time limit to 4:11)
"Oy." Ryoma said.
"Homer, you idiot!" Brian yelled out.
Brian: (Narrating) With the whole town prepared for the end, Bart heads down to the church and finds Flanders there with his sons and has a little request for him.
Bart Simpson: L-listen. I was just wondering if… before I died, I could pretend I had a father who… cared for me.
Ned Flanders: Come here, son. There's always room for one more in the Flanders clan.
(Bart gets a hug from Ned, but Rod and Todd do not like it)
"Oh, don't worry. Bart's gonna make your lives a living hell." Sean said before he does an evil laugh.
Ryoma: (Narrating) Homer sees Marge in the ruins of the building, but he ends up getting hit by a tree, a tree that points him to the middle of the dome and the light shines on the motorbike as Homer hops on and grabs the bomb as he prepares to save the people and the whole town. But he's not going to do it alone, he needs his son with him by his side.
Homer Simpson: Bart? Son? Do you think you could find it in your heart to give your foolish old man one more chance?
Bart Simpson: (Mumbling) Oh, I don't know…
Ned Flanders: It seems to me, son, that your father's saying that he wants to spend his last minute with you.
Bart Simpson: No! I can't do it. I want a father who's the same in the morning as he is at night- - oh… What's that word?
Rod and Todd Flanders: Consistency.
Bart Simpson: Thanks, losers.
"Well, this kid is not convinced. Time to whip out the big guns." Brian said.
Homer Simpson: I'll let you hold the bomb.
Bart Simpson: The man knows me.
"Don't you love these father-son bonding moments when you let your son hold a dangerous bomb in his hands?" Ryoma asked.
Sean: (Narrating) Bart reconciles with Homer as the two of them cycle up the dome to get rid of the bomb, Martin Prince beats the shit out of Dolph, Jimbo and Kearney. And Bart and Homer have a little heart to heart with each other just in case.
Bart Simpson: Dad, in case I miss, I'm sorry I said I wish you weren't my father.
Homer Simpson: I don't blame you, Son- I wasn't much of a father. Maybe it starts with the way my dad raised me. Yes, it's clear to me. It's just been one long, unbroken cycle of…
Marge Simpson: SOMEBODY THROW THE GODDAMN BOMB!
"Whoa!" Sean exclaimed with a shocked look on his face.
"Marge!" Ryoma yelled out.
"Man, I've heard some language like that at Denny's, but not from you." Brian said.
Brian: (Narrating) Bart manages to throw the bomb out of the hole, which explodes and causes the dome to crack. The two of them jump over Springfield Gorge and instead of them crashing to their deaths, Bart uses his slingshot which flings them over to the other side and the dome breaks and the dome is destroyed without anybody getting hurt.
(Dr. Nick end up getting crushed by a large piece of glass)
Dr. Nick (Also voiced by Hank Azaria): Bye, everybody. (Dies)
"Bye, Dr. Nick." The three movie critics said at the same time.
"Sorry that we didn't get a chance to talk about you." Sean saud.
Ryoma: (Narrating) Homer and Bart enjoy their little father/son activity, but it ends up getting ruined when Russ Cargill appears with a shotgun to kill Homer.
Homer Simpson: So, we meet at last, whoever you are.
Russ Cargill: There's a couple of things they don't teach you at Harvard Business School. One is how to cope with defeat, the other is how to handle a shotgun. I'm going to do both right now.
Bart Simpson: Wait! If you kill my dad, you'll never know where the treasure is buried.
Russ Cargill: What treasure?
Bart Simpson: Uh… the treasure of Ima Wiener.
Russ Cargill: I'm a wiener?
(Homer and Bart both laugh)
Homer Simpson: Classic.
"Ah, the good old joke name. It never fails." Sean said as his phone starts ringing before answering. "Hello? Who are you looking for? I'll check. Hey, do you guys know someone named Amanda Hugginkiss?"
Brian and Ryoma both start laughing as Sean realizes that he fell for the joke.
"Oh, son of a bitch." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) Maggie saves Homer by knocking out Cargill with a rock. Lisa looks for Colin and finds him and she goes out on an ice cream date with him. The townspeople applaud Homer for his brave heroics and Homer and Marge get back together. And the film ends with the townspeople rebuilding Springfield and rebuilding the Simpsons house with Homer and Bart fixing the roof.
Homer Simpson: Steady… steady… steady…
Bart Simpson: Uh, Dad?
(Bart hands Homer some safety goggles)
Homer Simpson: (Puts the safety goggles on) Thanks, boy. Steady. (Hits the nail with the hammer) Whoo-hoo!
(Homer screams as he sees that he accidentally gets the nail in his leg while Bart laughs)
"And that was The Simpsons Movie. And what can we say about this movie?" Sean asked.
"It's pretty hilarious and pretty excellent." Brian said.
(The from the movie are shown once more)
Ryoma: (Narrating) We have nothing bad to say about this movie, it's still a very good movie. It received positive reviews from critics and it grossed $536.4 million worldwide and became the eighth-grossing highest film of 2007, the second highest-grossing traditionally animated film and the highest-grossing film based on an animated television series.
Brian: (Narrating) The film was nominated for numerous awards, including a Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature Film at the 65th Golden Globe Awards. I wonder what was the movie that beat The Simpsons Movie for that Award.
(The poster for the movie Ratatouille is shown)
Brian: (Narrating) Oh, yeah. That movie.
Sean: (Narrating) There was a sequel in the works back in 2018 and they're working on it. The film has some great animation, excellent voice acting, some memorable lines and some fantastic writing and hilarious jokes. If you're a big fan of The Simpsons, then go check it out. The Simpsons Movie comes in at 5 donuts out of 5.
"And that's all for today. I'm Sean the Mayhem Critic." Sean said.
"I'm Brian." Brian said.
"And I'm Ryoma." Ryoma said.
"And tune in next time when I finish up Animation March Madness. Oh, man. I am excited! I'm almost finished with Animation March Madness. I have one more film to review. Yes! Yes! Yes! Oh, happy day! I wonder what the final film is going to be." Sean said.
(We cut to black as we hear the sounds Beavis and Butt-Head laughing)
Sean: (V/O) Oh, dear.
Mayhem Critic Tagline- Bye, everybody.
And that is all for the review of The Simpsons Movie. Sorry that it took long to finish this review. I've been busy with work and getting my second shot of the Moderna vaccine, in which I had some side effects from it Saturday. I had a headache and a little fever. But now, I'm feeling much better now. Next time, Sean finishes up Animation March Madness by taking a look at another animated feature based on a hit television show. And that movie is the 1996 animated feature Beavis and Butt-Head Do America, and he's not doing it alone. He has his good buddy Lucas a.k.a. UltimateWarriorFan4Ever teaming up with him for this review. After Animation March Madness, I will be working on another Top 11 countdown, which will be the Top 11 Favorite iCarly Episodes. So add this story to your favorites and follow it for future updates and make sure you leave a comment as well. And I'll see you guys next time. Till next time, my fellow readers.
