As a big time gamer, I got a hoot out of the various video game parodies. Homer going into FPS-mode ruled it!
The rest of episode couldn't really keep the awesome going, although the dream sequence was pretty good. Gordon Ramsay hijacking Marge's dream was worth a good laugh.
Good stuff this week.

Homer's reaction to the goop in a pancake is the same reaction I have.

I liked the whole thing - the best part was, it made sense all the way through and yet still featured the absurd (Homer getting caught in a meth lab when Marge sent him to the wrong address). Consistent characters and several laughs as well. Well done.

| #5 Posted on 14.11.11 1224.58 | Instant Rating: 9.39 | Another episode with some very dense-with-gags moments - I think the E4 convention hall was designed to get people to either DVR the episode or buy the DVD later just so they could frame-by-frame and get all the goodness.
The "TV chefs on space hoppers" lineup during Marge's (or was it Gordon's?) dream was also great. I especially loved the back where Paul Prudhomme was being used as the Hoppity Hop.
But mostly, I enjoyed the totally valid stereotyping of foodies as hipster pricks.
LATE EDIT: AND the awesome Tim and Eric song, which I totally forgot to mention earlier! If you weren't really listening, there were a lot of "wait, what?" lines that went by, but it all made sense when I saw Tim & Eric in the closing credits.

And any show that takes me to a Singapore hawker center (with Anthony Bourdain!) always earns extra points with me, although the real places look nothing like the second-rate TV Chinatown they showed. (And kway chap is a soup dish.) |
