Fans always love a good Halloween episode of a situation comedy or dramatic event , andThe Simpsonsis love for their Treehouse of Horror specials , as these are voguish base - outs each year . Since the storylines can let in the extrasensory and other genres not interpret on the animate show , these episodes are rooter favourite that are always fun . However , there are some aspects of these episode that do n’t make much sense .
Why Sideshow Bob Keeps Resurrecting Bart
In one of the later installment of this serial , the rooter - favoriteSideshow Bob ( who has many greatThe Simpsonsepisodes ) actually succeeds in killing Bart , thus fulfilling his one dream in life . regrettably , he discovers that he does n’t have much substance after that , and so he repeatedly resurrects Bart , only to belt down him again .
It ’s a o.k. muzzle at first , but it soon becomes quite repetitious , and it would have been more interesting had the author hand the character something else to do in the course of study of the sequence .
The Fog That Turns People Inside Out
In a very early Treehouse special , Bart has a terrible dreaming in which the school faculty take off devouring children by turning them into sandwich . When he inflame up , he ’s relieved to find out that everything is okay , except for a mystic fog that turns the great unwashed inside out .
It ’s a bit of a unknown way to end the episode , especially since the rest of it is so tightly woven and compelling . There ’s no reason , after all , that they had to make it a ambition sequence in the first place .
Why Everyone Still Voted For Kang And/Or Kodos
The Simpsonshas been well - known throughout its outpouring for its pointed political commentary , as can be seen in one instalment in which the nefarious aliens Kang and Kodos manage to pass through the United States elections . This is one of thebestThe Simpsonsseason 8 episodes .
They finally remind Americans that they have to vote for one of them , which later encounter . plain , it ’s meant to be funny , but one ca n’t help but wonder why the people did n’t just see someone to unravel instead of the two obviously villainous alien .
What Was The Point Of Homer Moving Into A Virtual World?
While most of the Treehouse instalment are quite good and ingenious , with some bit of commentary or bit , occasionally one comes along that just miss a certain something . That ’s unfortunately the sheath with the one in which Homer finds himself trapped in an alternating reality that is in three dimensions .
It ’s all right as a sketch , but it really does sort of filter out the hearing ’s patience , since it does n’t seem to have much point beyond showcasing some neat animation .
Why Does Time Move So Fast With The Tooth Incident?
One of the right Halloween shorts is the one in which Lisa inadvertently creates her own slight universe in one of the teeth that she ’s lost . It ’s a bewitching experiment , but what does n’t make a mass of sense is why clock time seems to move so promptly for them ( as opposed to the actual universe ) .
In a relatively short period of time , they reach a country of technological promotion that is well than anything in the Earth that Lisa inhabit .
How Did Everyone Not Notice That Marge Was The Head Vampire?
Of all the characters that the Simpsons run across , the one who would most probably be a sinister lamia would be Mr. Burns , specially conceive that all theworst things Mr. Burns has done onThe Simpsonswere done when he was simply human . Indeed , he succeeds in turning Bart into a lamia .
Though the fellowship thinks that they ’ve economise Bart by staking the villain , it actually turns out that it was Marge herself who was the head vampire . It ’s a nice turn at the end , but one would think that someone would have mark that she was a lamia and not the mild - mannered woman of the house she appeared to be .
How Is A Toaster A Time Machine?
There ’s a lot to enjoy about the episode in which Homer manages to twist a toaster into a time car , which takes him back into the aboriginal past . His awkwardness causes all sort of chaos , rewriting the hereafter in ways that are definitely not capital ( particularly for Homer ) .
However , what remain a little less unmortgaged is how , precisely , one turns something like a wassailer into a knock-down meter machine adequate to of whisking someone back to the time of the dinosaur .
Why Was Ned Bitten By A Werewolf?
Anyone who has seen the Halloween specials knows that they ’re very good at thump merriment at democratic films . That includesI Know What You Did Last Summer , though in this case the victim of the hit - and - incline accident is none other than Ned Flanders .
The net braid , of course , is that he was turned into a wolfman prior to being bump off by the Simpsons ’ car . It ’s not on the nose clear , though , why the writers feel the need to add yet another wrinkle to an already pretty strong narration .
The Whole Dolphin Short
In the annals of the horror genre , there are few movies as abide by as Alfred Hitchcock’sThe Birds , andspoofs of far-famed films are a braggart part of the Treehouse tradition . diminished curiosity , then , thatThe Simpsonswould take a stab at a spot of caustic remark .
Unfortunately , they decided to go with making dolphins the improbable opponent . It ’s a chip foreign seeing dolphins attacking people , and it really make one wonder why they did n’t go with something that would make a little more signified rather than something so evidently derisory .
Why Didn’t Devil Ned Know That Homer’s Soul Was Already Owed To Marge?
Leave it to a show like this one to make Ned , the devout Christian fiber , into the literal devil . In this case , he manages to get Homer to predict his somebody . unluckily for Ned , it deform out that Homer had actually promised it to Marge much sooner .
This leads one to wonder how it is potential that Satan , a powerful figure in his own right , did n’t already know this prior to trying to get Homer to sell his soul to him ?
