Fox News parody on The Simpsons tonight.
Heads up y'all; rerun of very funny Simpsons episode wherein Krusty runs for Congress.

Chock'o'block mit chuckles! Dead-on parody of queer-bait Faux news channel! Be sure to stay tuned for the credits where the shameless trashing of Fox News continues unabaited! (unless some facsist EDITS it.)

Pure enjoyment and utter delight are yours with a mere tap of the telly remote! 8:30 pm Chicago (central?) time.

9. Simpsons
is the only show that isn't required to take "notes" from the network as to what they have to change. That's why when they do offend someone (ie Brazil), they have to edit episodes for syndication.

11. So far they've parodied "South Park" (!!!) and
had Chief Wiggum make a reference to a Monkees song in Flanders' unexpected Beatles basement... no Krusty Kongress yet... :-(

Great SP parody though, even better than when SP parodied the Simpsons!

16. I can't believe I missed this episode the first time around
Edited on Sun Jul-13-03 10:05 PM by tridim
Easily the best episode I've seen in at least 3 or 4 years. What exactly did they edit out?

17. there were numerous jokes on the news crawl
at the end credits. I think some are listed on a thread created when the original episode aired. Anyone out there NOT a lazy idiot like me able to search it up? Does it still exist?

Oh, the questions! the questions! Oh! How my squishy little kahlua-addled liberal brain aches!

18. I found this at the Daily Weasel site
This wasn't the crawl at the end, though.

Pointless news crawls up 37%... Do Democrats cause cancer? Find out at foxnews.com... Rupert Murdoch: Terrific dancer... Dow down 5000 points... Study: 92% of Democrats are gay... Oil slicks keep seals young, supple... JFK posthumously joins the Republican Party... Dan Quayle: Awesome... Ashcroft declares breast of chicken sandwich "obscene"... Hillary Clinton embarrasses self, nation... Bible says Jesus favored capitol gains cut... Stay tuned for Hannity and Idiot... Only dorks watch CNN... Jimmy Carter: Old, wrinkly, useless... Brad Pitt + Albert Einstein = Dick Cheney... Study: Right wing of chicken healthier...
