Animated Attrocity: At Long Last Leave.

Well, here I come.

Here's my first personal review for an Animated Attrocity.

This time, it's for this episode:

-At Long Last Leave
-Number of Episode: #500.
-Series: The Simpson. Season 23.

Honestly, my friends, this was (as the Comic Book Guy said)...THE WORST SIMPSONS EPISODE EVER!!! Here's the plot:

The Simpson family is advised of a citywide nuclear safety drill and all the inhabitants of Springfield are told to stay in their basements for three hours. The family members quickly become bored in the basement and decide to leave the house and go and see the empty city. As they walk through Springfield, they see an unusual number of cars parked by the City Hall. The Simpsons go in and discover that the nuclear safety drill was a ruse by everyone in town for a secret town meeting, where the townspeople have voted unanimously to kick the Simpson family out of Springfield forever. When Marge asks why the whole town would want to do that, Mayor Quimby reveals that the city has gone bankrupt owing to the constant cleaning up of the family's shenanigans over the years, ranging from Homer's drunken antics (shown as an image from Wild Barts Can't Be Broken), Bart's various pranks (shown as an image from Brother's Little Helper), and Lisa's environmental concerns (which, although not so expensive, was nonetheless annoying). Marge delivers a heart-felt plea to the residents to let the Simpsons live in the one place they call home, but they refuse, with Quimby declaring her the "worst Simpson" for always trying to convince the town to see the family in a positive light. Ned attempts to defend the Simpsons by pleading with the crowd to give them a break. Unfortunately, their pleas fall on deaf ears and reveals the Flanders family as the only ones who voted against evicting the Simpsons. Quimby tells Ned off that the town believes that his family were corrupted by the Simpsons and intentionally ejects them from the meeting.

 A big celebration is held by the city's population as the Simpsons are officially evicted from Springfield. When the family drives out into the middle of nowhere at night with no place to stay, they come across a man who takes them to a county called The Outlands, a dirty, run-down place where there are no rules and regulations. The family settle in The Outlands and meet Julian Assange—their unfriendly next-door neighbor who operates the WikiLeaks Headquarters there. Marge quickly dislikes Assange as he is rude and unlike the friendly and cheerful Ned.

 While Homer and the children get used to their new home and find it more comfortable than ever, Marge has a hard time settling in. When Homer confronts her about it, Marge reveals she is worried about the local children being a negative influence on Maggie and is homesick. To cheer Marge up and despite knowing they can never return, Homer sneaks her back into Springfield one night under the disguise of Mr. Burns and Smithers. They spend the night getting drunk and having sex in their old abandoned home. However, Jimbo and his friends discovers the truth. Before they can alert the town, Chief Wiggum has arrived with the police and the furious people of Springfield to the Simpson home. He revealed he had seen through their disguises, but Wiggum pretended to be fooled in order to have time to rally the people to arrest Homer and Marge. Furious, Marge quickly tells the crowd off that she was homesick and wanted to return to Springfield for a moment. She reveals that after realizing how much the disillusioned citizens despise her family, Marge prefers to return to The Outlands where their new community accepts them for who they are and the family is safe to love each other without worry of spite and judgment from others. As she and Homer march through the visibly disillusioned citizens and return to The Outlands for a better life, the citizens begin having second thoughts in evicting the Simpsons rather than better feelin ashamed by what they are...

Days later, back in the Simpsons' new home (which Marge is finally getting used to), Bart and Maggie discovers Lenny and Carl sneaking in like a FUCKIN' Batallón Olimpia (if you don't know what's this, I leave it as homework for you...). Lenny tells the family he and Carl long to start a new life in The Outlands, under the excuse that they want to admit Springfield isn't the same without the Simpsons. Soon, Moe arrives and opens up Moe's Cavern to which Homer, Lenny and Carl patronize. After that, Mayor Quimby, and many other Springfield residents show up, under the lame excuse of they want to abandon their lives in Springfield and start over in The Outlands. Soon, all of Springfield moves there to pretend to start new lives with the Simpsons, and they begin to expand the entire city. Mayor Quimby declares it Springfield, which Marge is truly against stating it takes away the charm of being known as The Outlands and has always disliked the corruption from the entire Springfield. The man whom the Simpsons befriended decides to pack up and move further away from the people, while Skinner is left behind in the other side of Springfield (until Bart takes him away).

YES!!! It's the worst episode ever from the series, and one of the worst I watched ever (alongside the infamous "Arnold Betrays Iggy"). Honestly, I can’t understand how some TV critics can find admirable this shit…Making the Simpsons leave their  home by a false campaign, and humillating them when they’re trying to return to their home, for finally destroying the new place where they live? THIS IS THE WORST IDEA FOR THE SERIES!!! This episode seems also like a a ripoff of the episode “Miracle On Evergreen Terrace”, and the same of meanspirited like “Arnold Betrays Iggy”…Also, when everybody surrounds Simpson's house, it was the worst part of the episode, because nobody stood up for them, and neither wanted to recognize that they're a bunch of asshole jerks...And the final was a shit, becuase, instead asking the Simpsons return to Springfield, in exchange of some conditions imposed by Homer and Marge, NO...!!! They must act like a FUCKIN' Batallón Olimpia and destroy their new living place...!

Seriously, my friends...This episode doesn't even fail in an original way; it's boringly bad! If several episodes since Season 16th, and post-movie were far worse (like "On A Clear Day I Can't See My Sister" or "The Boys Of Bummer"), now I watched this horrible episode, JESUS CHRIST MONKEYBALLS!!! I now realize that Matt Groening doesn't truly care about The Simpsons anymore, and even hates them now...And, unlike with SpongeBob SquarePants (thanks to the return of Stephen Hillenburg), there's no chance of revindication (neither a second film could fix the things, and neither if it could be dubbed in Latin America by Humberto Vélez, and some other guys of the original Mexican Dubbing...)

As the Comic Book Guy says: “THE WORST EPISODE EVER”!

I don’t want ABSOLUTELY NEVER imaginate the 600TH Episode…AND LESS MORE A SECOND SIMPSONS' MOVIE NEITHER THE 1000TH EPISODE!!!
