2012 Homer Simpson Does His Civic Duty

Wouldn't it be nice if that was what actually happened when people pulled the lever for Romney? (And suicide jokes aren't funny, people. Except the one in this clip. It's actually pretty funny.)

Amusing, but what the hell is with the Treehouse of Horror being on October 7th?? I know there has to be a Sunday closer to Halloween than that. Every year they get further away from the actual date.

Hey, at least they're showing the Halloween episode before Halloween. I've lowered my standards far enough to be satisfied with that.

The Simpsons have a gift for suicide jokes. A recent-ish episode had characters racing to "the suicide bridge!" which, when they arrived, was prominently marked with a plaque "In honor of the public service of Chester L. Suicide."
(Or something like that, I'm paraphrasing.)

@ 1, it beats when they wouldn't premier the season until AFTER Halloween.
I'm just glad that they're able to come up with something this funny after all these years. ALL the jokes and gags in this clip are good.

That clip had more laughs in it than any of the episodes of the Simpsons I've seen in the past 8 years.
