“My name is Homer, and I’m just here because the court made me come.” – Homer Simpson
“Homer, with our help you’ll never touch a beer again.” – Reverend Lovejoy
“Ahh!” – Homer Simpson
I had a rather exhausting and awful week; but it is at an end now, which means I can sit on my ass and watch TV like a civilized person. In doing so, I noticed something I don’t think I’ve ever noticed before. At his first AA meeting, Homer bails out the window. At his next meeting, there’s this:
That shot is only on screen very briefly before they cut to closeups of Lovejoy reassuring Homer and then Homer confessing that he ate the dirt under the bleachers. But you can see that Homer’s escape window has now been boarded up. Not repaired, just boarded up. Twenty years and Jebus knows how many viewings, and I’m still catching things. Gotta love The Simpsons.
