Line 193:
** As surprisingly [[Darker and Edgier|dark and edgy]] as "Homer's Enemy" was for ''[[The Simpsons]]'', I got to admit it was kind of funny when Frank Grimes, Jr. said his father happened to like hookers. So, Mr. Perfect had a dark side.
*** It sounds more like a thoughtless [[Hand Wave]]. You can imagine some exchange between producer and writers: "Wait, but how does Grimes have a son? Wasn't he lonely in that episode he appeared?" "Um... he liked hookers?" "Well, that'll have to work..."
**** Possibly, he was born of a hooker and a man who might have looked like Frank Grimes, but wasn't. So therefore, his mother tried to pass it off as being born to Grimes because Grimes was a hard worker. Hey, [[Wild Mass Guessing]], [[Sure, Let's Go
**** Grimes' life has been miserable. Being alone and not getting any respect, he visited a hooker to relieve stress.
** Again, time may pass differently on the outside. Grimes, Senior and Junior may have spent most of their lives ''outside'' Springfield and only came in when the former found work and the latter had the opportunity to avenge his father.
Line 265:
* In the episode "Springfield Up", Homer fakes being rich by borrowing Mr. Burns' summer home, and explains that he did it by inventing a condiment pen. How on earth did he not get rich with that pen? It was a genius idea!
** He was too dumb to actually try patenting it, and by the time someone pointed out what a good idea it was someone else had already stolen it? Or maybe he didn't actually invent one, and was somehow faking it when he demonstrated? I thought the same thing.
** What bugs me is that no-one has made it in [[Real Life
Line 295:
** I'm gonna go with the guess that every season has a different continuity. It would make sense that Homer doesn't remember - what with the brain damage and all. And he could be insecure and feels the need to sing with others.
*** Not really. Several events are alluded to across-seasons, like Sideshow Bob's escapades, Homer being an astronaut, Maggie shooting Mr. Burns, Bart owning Stampy, Maude dying etc. etc. That said, the show mostly adheres to [[Negative Continuity]].
* Why is it that Marge tries to be a [[Moral Guardian]] (at least in the earlier seasons), but in one of the Halloween episodes, she has no objection to Bart dressing up as [[A Clockwork Orange (
** It's a classic film. That makes it okay.
** There's also the possibility that Marge just doesn't know who he is. Marge never struck me as the type of person who was very well-versed in movie trivia.
Line 301:
** It's possible they were having sex on another occasion. Bob would have to continue playing the role of loving husband, after all. But the way it was cut just makes it funnier.
* in Homerpalooza, why doesn't wear something to protect his stomach? sure it would've ruined the act he was doing but he wouldn't of ended up having donuts from [[
* In "Flaming Moe", [[What Happened to
* At the end of "Old Money", Grandpa Simpson decides that the money he'd inherited from a short-term romantic partner should go towards improving the facilities at the retirement home. This is after having selflessly decided not to spend the money on himself, after Lisa convinced him that those who really deserved the money were the homeless/sick/needy, and after visiting a casino in an attempt to increase the total amount available (figuring that he could help more people that way). So why does he still spend the money on people already living in private accommodation and who are being looked after by full-time carers, when he'd previously decided there were people far more deserving of the money?
Line 381:
* So Nedna's [[They Do|official]]. But I'm confused on the status: are they married, engaged, or simply dating?
** Dating.
* The Halloween story "''Don't Have a Cow Mankind''" makes no sense to me. How many supplies did the Simpsons have to last almost a month trapped in the house? Why did the writers make a real illness like Mad-Cow Disease the cause of the zombie apocalypse? Why wasn't the burger at Krusty Burger spoiled from sitting there for a month? Why didn't the military just take a sample of Bart's blood to make a vaccine? Why was Bart immune in the first place? Why was it that Marge didn't know about communion? Was that a shot at Christians? [[Take That|Did Seth McFarlane make that joke?]] How does Bart bathing in soup make a cure? How was the cure administered to the munchers? Why the heck wasn't Homer cured? [[Batman Forever
** [[MST3K Mantra|The Halloween episode doesn't make sense? Surely not.]]
* Did they make "''The Food Wife''" just to say "WE KNOW WHAT VIDEO GAMES AND FOOD BLOGS/FOODIES ARE!"?
