Unfortunately, Mobs doesn’t know that that replacement is actually a member of some sort of plant-based alien race who has infiltrated Mapple as part of a grand scheme.
He gives some updates to the new MyPhone, before saying that the company is in the competent hands of his replacement. Our first segment opens up in the secret underwater headquarters of the Mapple corporation where an army of stockholders are awaiting a message from Steve Mobs, the long-dead head of the company. And, as Cthulu’s head explodes into the titles, the episode actually begins. Cthulu agrees, and ends up losing quite handily to Homer, thus having to submit to Homer’s wishes. He challenges Cthulu to the oyster-eating contest that he came all this way for. The Great Dreamer then rises from the sea, and is about to eat Homer, when Homer comes up with a scheme. And, as the contest is about to begin, the townsfolk announce that this was all a scam to sacrifice the Simpsons to Cthulu, their god.
#Treehouse of horror s 30 series#
We do get a series of tombstone gags though, which we haven’t had in forever, so that’s cool.The Simpsons are in the little fishing village for some sort of oyster-eating competition, despite the fact that the town is clearly haunted. Things start off in a New England town called Fogburyport, because these title sequences just keep getting more and more elaborate. So, does this episode serve as a spooky little balm? Well…
We’re only a few episodes in, but things have been pretty rough. And, as I’ve discussed, this hasn’t been the strongest season of the Simpsons I’ve ever seen. It’s another Treehouse of Horror here on Lifetime of Simpsons! No matter how rough the show may be at the moment, the good old Treehouse of Horror episodes are usually an oasis of fun, something to unapologetically enjoy, because surely at least one of the segments will work. Well everyone, it’s time to talk about one of the most special times of the year.
