Kill the Alligator and Run

“The Simpsons are going to Florida!!” *Sighs*

Story

Homer suffers a so-called midlife crisis when he takes a survey which implies that he’s got another 5 or so years left and goes to Florida with his family. After Homer finishes trashing and ruining a spring break concert, the Simpsons accidentally hit an alligator, and are immediately wanted by the state of Florida.

Back to work!!

Random Facts

Guest starring Kid Rock, including Joe C. This was one of Joe C.’s final works along with Osmosis Jones, released in 2001.

Until 2011, this was the number one worst episode of the show according to NoHomers.net’s listings.

Much like Saddlesore Galactica, the plot doesn’t seem to seem set in stone at all.

Random Opinions

First off, Homer can not be that stupid to think that something telling him when he’s going to die is true. Have you ever tried seeing when your death date is online with death clock websites? Not one of those true in the slightest and serve as just fear-mongering. Even when my maternal grandfather was terminally ill, the doctor didn’t say what his death date was (no doctor can do that either!) but he said that he didn’t have much longer to live.

Ban a family from a state for no reason. Nice game, writers.

I feel bad for Joe C. given that this was one of his last roles in anything I’m familiar with (Although from what I’ve heard, Osmosis Jones was actually his last role).

This is another episode where Homer is exceedingly rude and obnoxious. Unfortunately, this became more common even after the Scully era.

Stop being a piece of shit, Homer.

Animation quality took a nosedive in Season 11.The plot is non-existent and even when it is it’s idiotic for the Simpsons standards.This is one of the dumbest episodes they ever made.Simpsons usually doesn’t have bad voices. Also the jockey elves song is a guilty pleasure.Homer being a piece of shit.

Rating: 12/50 – Bad (3/10)

This one’s relatively tame compared to Saddlesore Galactica, but that isn’t saying much.

Nevertheless talk about a messy episode. Destroy a concert? Not an issue. Accidentally hitting an alligator? Assassin!!
