Ladies and gentlemen it's been in all honesty nearly a full year to the day that I last reviewed an episode of The Simpsons and well I in all honesty felt like taking a look at and thus reviewing another classic episode of The Simpsons and well I think that. I've found what could quite possibly be described as the most raunchiest episode of The Simpsons and so join me as I review the episode that is the final ever episode of The Simpsons Season 9 with the episode in question being called simply just "Natural Born Kissers" enjoy.
The plot of this episode is Marge and Homer think that the spark from their relationship and thus marriage has gone until they find out that almost being seen in certain situations could quite possibly reignite that spark in their relationship and also thus there marriage and all the meanwhile Bart and Lisa have fun with Grandpas own old metal detector. Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the plot of this episode in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the plot of this episode was rather weak which is a shame because the basic idea for this episode is a rather interesting idea and could have made for a great plotline for The Simpsons animated TV show / TV series in my opinion anyways / at least.
Starring in this episode is Dan Castellaneta as Homer Jay Simpson , Bill , Gil Gunderson and Grampa Simpson and Julie Kavner as Marge Simpson. Also starring in this episode is Yeardley Smith as Lisa Simpson , Nancy Cartwright as Bart Simpson , Ralph Wiggum and Todd Flanders , Pamela Hayden as Rod Flanders and Milhouse Van Houten , Harry Shearer as Marty , Ned Flanders , Lenny Leonard and Seymour Skinner , Hank Azaria as Old Jewish Man , Clancy Wiggum , Carl Carlson and Moe Szyslak , Maggie Roswell as Maude Flanders and Helen Lovejoy and Tress MacNeille as Agnes Skinner.
Now then as for what I personally thought / felt about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this actual / very episode in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the acting that's featured / presented to us in actual / very episode was in all honesty really freaking good. Which shouldn't come as a complete shock or even a complete surprise to anyone since the acting that's in the The Simpsons animated TV show / TV series is always really freaking good and so it only makes sense that the acting in this episode be rather or even really freaking good as well in my opinion anyways / at least.
Doing the animation for this episode is Film Roman Productions and as for what I personally thought / felt about the animation that's featured / presented to us in this very well in all honesty well even tho the animation for the The Simpsons animation TV show / TV series is usually good that sadly cannot be said for this episode in particular. Since even tho the animation for this episode is indeed really freaking good but at the same time there also quite alot of animation errors and straight continuity errors in this episode all of which brings down the overall quality of the animation that's seen in this very / particular episode in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I will for forever and a day state / say that Homer and marge are the best animated cartoon couple of all time even topping both of the married couples in the The Flintstones. This is because at least in the very early seasons of the The Simpsons you can quite clearly see why they were attracted to each other and as well as how they compliment each other but we also get to see them have genuine marriage struggles / marriage problems that other married couples have and we get to see them work through those issues and those struggles and they come out all the better for it in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then I will very fully admit that I didn't really like the fact that this episode didn't really do a deep dive into why the spark in the marriage between Homer Jay Simpson and his wife Marge Simpson was going out. Simply because that could have made a really interesting plot point and and it would have made both characters seem all the more three dimensional but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways / at least.
Now then I will very much admit that I didn't like the fact that we didn't get any kind of resolution of / to the Bart and Lisa plotline. We don't even get a joke ending to that plotline at all it just sort of stops which for a twenty two minuet cartoon is to be expected but at the same time if you start a plotline / storyline people expect you to finish of that particular / very plotline / storyline and not just have it come to sudden stop which to me at least just screams / reeks of lazy as heck screenwriting / storytelling in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then this very / particular episode of the The Simpsons has / had a grand total running time of exactly twenty one minuets and nineteen seconds and well if im being well and truly freaking honest here people that running time actually kind of feel about right for this episodes main plotline. Since the Homer and Marge plotline doesn't have enough there in terms of either plot or story to carry anything that's remotely close to being thirty minuets but at the same time I do in all honesty feel that the Bart and Lisa plotline should and more importantly could have been alot longer heck you could have even have had an entire episode just focused on that one plotline in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then since this show is an animated comedy TV show / TV series after all that means that I have to actually talk about the actual jokes that are actually featured in this very / particular / exact episode and well in my opinion anyways / at least the actual jokes that are featured / presented to us in this very / particular / exact episode are a very mixed bag of affairs for me personally. Since while there are indeed some very funny jokes in this episode there are also some jokes that just aren't that funny like take for example the fact that Homer gets hit on the head with every single knife and fork at the cheap restaurant that Bart and Lisa have arranged for their parents to go to for there anniversary dinner it's a good set up for a joke but the joke goes on for so long that it stops being funny and the fact that Marge doesn't agree with Homers joke that the little plastic people on top of wedding cakes have little parties whenever we people just aren't looking is just a missed opportunity to make an unfunny joke seem actually pretty freaking funny in my opinion anyways / at least.
Overall while this wasn't a bad episode it's also not an episode that was / that's as good I remember it being since my first introduction to this episode was from the The Simpsons: Too Hot For TV VHS tape and remember this episode being alot funnier but now it just hasn't aged that well and it more importantly simply just isn't that funny anymore or even that well animated in my opinion anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this episode in this very review and as such that means that this episode gets a grand old score of an 8 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I got all of the images that I used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page and from the official The Simpsons fandom wiki page. With my personally preferred website to use to get images this film being the official The Simpsons fandom wiki page this is because all of the images that I got and that currently up , featured and on the official The Simpsons fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high in definition.
