If you don't like this episode when it comes out, then it's just because you're, like, exactly who it's satirizing. Presto! More television that comes with its own bulletproof defense.
The Simpsons is grasping at straws when it tries to pull itself up by co-opting itself with Portlandia. Though the end was really fucking nigh - in my book the Simpsons jumped the shark officially with Principal and the Pauper. Re-writing its characters, destroying its own foundations to shoe-horn in a special guest appearance and then trying to un-do the damage by swearing it wouldn't be brought up again in subsequent episodes.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. The Mercury's trolls are all TOO COOL for the Simpsons and Portlandia. They're all here to tell us how they're TOO COOL for that BS. AH, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA.
It seems that every "new" episode of The Simpsons is just a 20 minute long parade of cameo appearances. I hope Matt Groening is happy--greedy bastard.
Oh.
So Lisa invents Facebook and all of Springfield become really webby.
Entire episode. So bad.
There was a rad vignette at the end, though.
