Maggie doll) sit on the couch; Homer takes the remote, but
Lisa slaps his hand and he drops it (repeat of AABF13)
Special Guest Voice: Britney Spears

Rating: TV-PG-V
Overseas Animation: Akom; N.J. Kim
REVIEW: C - this review can be summed up in four parts: awards
ceremony with some lame Kent Brockman - Britney Spears routine -
not funny; Homer makes a mess in Burns Manor - not funny; Homer
and his friends go on a yacht, get caught by pirates, get thrown
overboard, and that's pretty much it - not funny; Homer makes an
inside joke about overpaid actors - okay, maybe that was a little
funny. Maybe Swartzwelder is saving what good material he hasn't
used already in case there ever is a movie?

DYN
...most of the awards looked like the statue, but the oldest man award
was a bust of Jebediah Springfield's head?
...Mrs. Krabappel wasn't sitting next to Principal Skinner?
...Homer forgot that he's won the Montgomery Burns Award for
Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence?
...Burns' yacht is "GONE FISSION", but in AABF16, it's "GONE FISSION
II"?
...Moe's was open even though he couldn't sell alcohol?
...Fox must think they don't have much chance to host the Grammys
any time soon?

When the net is bobbing in the water, the net itself seems to bob
differently from the ball of people.
