Description: Marge suggests that Springfield boost its image by holding a film festival. The town agree, and Marge assembles a judge panel including Jay Sherman from the tv show "The Critic". They invite Sherman to stay in their home, but Homer becomes jealous of him and asks Marge if he can be on the jury too. Marge reluctantly lets Homer take Martin Scorscese's position. Mr. Burns uses the festival as a way of improving his image. He hires a director and produces a big budget epic. Burns is booed when the film is shown. Burns bribes two jury members int ovoting for him, forcing the panel into a deadlock. Marge and Sherman choose Barney's artistic film titled "Pukahontas", while Homer goes for Hans Molemans "Man Getting Hit By A Football". Homer reconsiders for Marge's sake and relizes Barney deserves to win.

Lisa: This is terrible! People will start to avoid Springfield.
Homer: But what can I do? I'm just...[counts "One" on fingers] one man.

Mr. Burns: Are you saying "Boo" or "Boo-urns?"
Crowd: Boooooooooooooo!
Hans Moleman: I was saying "Boo-urns".

Bart: Hello, I'm Bart Simpson. In the past, I've bought you such classic films as "Homer in the Shower" and "Homer on the Toilet". And now, I give you "The Eternal Struggle". [opens a door]
Homer: [struggling with his pants] "Relaxed fit", my Aunt Fanny! Stupid Dockers. [grunts] Oh! The belt is buckled. Heh heh...
[struggles some more]

Barney: Don't cry for me, I'm already dead.

dammit, 'boo-urns' was already commented on.

ok, for extra credit, who could burp as well as jay sherman? (according to him)

I have no idea how to spell it but its pronounced Udora Weltee or something

Whoa........you badmouthed MacGyver, didn't you!

I dont like this one because it has the critic and i dont like jon lovitz

Is this the one where Homer tries out for the part of Burns and says "exactly" instead of "excellent"?

when barney was in the audience as they're showing his movie:


Woman: It's brilliant: savagely honest, tender...he has the soul of a
poet.
Barney: You're very kind.
Woman: Excuse me, did something crawl down your throat and die?
Barney: It didn't die!

Yes it is.

Announcer: Coming up next, "The Flintstones" meet "The Jetsons".
Bart: Uh oh. I smell another cheap cartoon crossover.
Homer: Bart Simpson, meet Jay Sherman, the critic.
Jay: Hello.
Bart: Hey, man. I really love your show. I think all kids should watch it! [turns away] Ew, I suddenly feel so dirty.

Jay: [on the couch] So then I said to Woody Allen, "Well, Camus can do, but Sartre is smartre!"
Selma: So original.
Marge: How droll!
Homer: Yeah, well, "Scooby Doo can doo-doo, but Jimmy Carter is smarter."

Burns: Get me Steven Spielberg!
Smithers: He's unavailable.
Burns: Then get me his non-union Mexican equivalent!
[later] Listen, Senor Spielbergo, I want you to do for me what Spielberg did for Oskar Schindler.
Spielbergo: Er, Schindler es bueno, Senor Burns es el diablo.
Burns: Listen, Spielbergo, Schindler and I are like peas in a pod: we're both factory owners, we both made shells for the Nazis, but mine worked, dammit! Now go out there and win me that festival!

Barney: Just hook it to my veins!

"ow my groin"

"But football in the groin had a football in the groin."

"don't cry for me i'm already dead"


great fuckin episode /

Haha...I have no idea why, but that makes me laugh hysterically at the end of the episode. I'm not big on slapstick, but I guess it's the way it's kind of making fun of slapstick and the fact that he actually says "my groin" that makes it funny. That and that noise it makes. Haha, I don't know, it just really makes me laugh.

you must be a big family guy fan, huh?

To tell you the truth, I think Family Guy sucks now. Those first two dvd box sets that came out before the show came back on the air are great. I wish it never came back. I've tried watching it a few times and hardly laughed at the newer episodes. I doubt I'll get the newer ones on DVD.

I think one of the reasons the "guy getting hit with football" is funny is because it is like a running joke throughout the episode. Like I said, this isn't something I normally find funny. But the way they do it in this episode for some reason is hilarious. It's like it's poking fun at America's Funnies Home Videos or something.

yes, it is funny...i had no real motivation to bring up family guy except to hate on it

The amount of plotlines, jokes and general material they completely robbed from the simpsons is unreal.
