Taking 22 Short Films About Springfield
There are so many great characters in The Simpsons and most episodes focus on the main dozen with maybe one or two side characters showing up.
But this episode, loosely based on Pulp Fiction (with some nice homage scenes), features a ton of them.
A bunch of short vignettes cleverly transitioned into each other, with the most famous being the awesome Steamed Hams segment with Chalmers and Skinner.
“The house is on fire!”
“No mom, that’s just the Northern Lights”
You’ve got Millhouse saving the day in a Pulp Fiction scene:
After he fails to use the bathroom at the comic book store:
You’ve got a tall thin man getting revenge for everyone on Nelson:
And Apu getting in 4 hours of partying in 4 minutes:
A fun episode that reminds one of all the great side characters and a great addition to my Simpsons DVD
