The Man Who Came to Be Dinner

The Man Who Came to Be Dinner is in my opinion, a boring episode. It's not the worst thing in the world, but it's just so boring. First of all, this could've easily just been a Treehouse of Horror story, they didn't need to stretch it out for 20 minutes. Secondly, it takes SO LONG for the episode to actually start. Sure there's some funny jokes, but that's the only thing that keeps this episode from being a 4/10 for me. This episode is just boring and takes incredibly long just to get to the actual plot. Overall, The Man Who Came to Be Dinner is a boring episode with funny jokes. Rating: 5.2/10.

The episode starts out with the Simpsons going to a boring amusement park, until getting abducted by aliens. It starts out watchable, but then it gets really boring. I got so bored I started doing something else halfway through. After the Simpsons landed on the alien planet, I just stopped caring. I can't believe how overrated this episode is! Sure it shows Kang and Kudos outside of a Halloween episode, but boy it was wasted. But one unusual thing about this episode is that the town people are completely absent, other than cameos during the credits. I don't think that this episode is as bad as some other atrocities like Miracle on evergreen terrace, but it still is very bad. I think that the Simpsons should just make another movie, and that's it because I think that Homer, Bart, Marge, and Lisa (excluding Maggie) have been all used up by now.

This is an episode of The Simpsons. There will be spoilers ahead:

This episode features the Simpsons going to the planet of Kang and Kodos as captives. They get there through an elaborate and extended jape at Disney, which the show has been known to do on occasion. The Simpsons go to an amusement park, one only thinly disguised as Disneyland, with plenty of jokes at Disney's expense, all of which are gratuitously hilarious. I particularly like the first ride, which Maggie gets to pick, the sanitized Pirates of the Caribbean ride, which takes all the fun out of things and the references to Star Wars being their property now.

The Simpsons mistake a spacecraft for a ride at the park and wind up being taken for a ride. A certain squirrel and two moon men make a cameo which is not for the squeamish. I almost fell out of my chair.

The Simpsons wind up a zoo exhibit and Homer winds up on the menu, escapes with help from rebels against the ruling class on the planet and then returns in time to try to rescue his family. It turns out that the Simpsons are essentially poisonous to the aliens because of their diet (even Lisa, who is humbled a bit by certain observations). The Simpsons head out for home, with Maggie as pilot.

The end credits feature Simpsons takes on characters and scenes from Star Trek. All in all, a very good episode. Recommended.

The Man Who Came to be Dinner is a terrific Simpsons episode with a very well written storyline and a ton of very funny scenes. It is a really strange episode, it feels like a Trrehouse of Horror sketch stretched out in to one episode, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely like to see more zany and over the top Simpsons episodes in the future, I think this season has shown with episodes such as Treehouse of Horror 25 and Simpsorama that fans adore the weirder episodes, they're always fun and I feel like the writers are leaving their comfort zone when they do it. I really loved seeing the family visit Kang and Kodos home planet, we've seen it briefly before, but in this we really get to see what their planet is like and many other aliens as well. The Man Who Came to be Dinner is a very enjoyable Simpsons episode.

Homer and the gang are whisked across across the galaxy and forced to become zoo animals on Kang and Kodo's home planet.

The highlight of this disaster was the stomping on the classic joke from Deep Space Homer, an absolute abomination that has nothing simpsons about it. All characters without charm and a nonsensical story line that would barely work in a tree house of horror. Probably the worst episode I've seen, the way it's going though, sadly I'm sure that'll be beaten
