Homer gone wild

If you didn't catch the newest Simpsons episode last Sunday, then you missed a few awesome bits.  First was the live action intro sequence that used real life actors to re-enact The Simpsons famous intro.  You can watch this intro below:

This short has actually been around the net for awhile but was finally put into the show during this episode.  The Simpsons executive producer, Al Jean had this to say about the intro, "I'm just amazed there are people who want to be known for looking like The Simpsons."

The second awesome bit from this episode was when The Simpsons visited the FOX Studios.  In this episode The Simpsons were going to sign up for a 'new' FOX reality show where two different familys exchange wives.  Anyways, one of the FOX reps asked Homer if he actually wanted his personal secrects revealed on TV.  Homer of course countered with his DVD titled 'Homer Gone Wild' (a play on the Girls Gone Wild DVDs).  Then Homer said one of the coolest things he has ever said:

"They won't let me back in Lake Havasu City anymore."  (or something like that)

This was awesome because Lake Havasu was my home town where I grew up.  It's been known for having crazy Spring Breaks and such or something.  But hearing Homer mention it was just funny as hell.  Jenny and I started cracking up, then my family calls to make sure I just saw that and we start cracking up.

I tried to record the show with the DVR but may of messed it up.  If I did get it recorded correctly, I'll try to get that clip posted here.  For anyone who missed it, the title of the episode was called 'Homer Simpson, This is your Wife'.

I remember a few years ago there was an episode where Flanders thought the apocolypse was happening.  He thought he had gone to heaven, when Homer floats by (the city was flooded).  So Flanders says "Wow, Heaven's as easy to get into as Arizona State University" (or something very similar).  I was going to school at ASU at the time.  Now they bring up Havasu, which is where I was born and lived until I was 18 and I moved up to Phoenix to got to ASU.

And in anoher episode, The Simpsons were trying to pick where they were going for vacation.

Marge suggested Arizona and Homer countered with, "Arizona smells funny."
