I memorized "Holy Grail" really well
I can recite it right now and have you ROTFLOL

I loved this episode of TOH, since it had a happy ending for most of the segments. And since I am a HP Lovecraft fan, I absolutely loved seeing Cthulhu in TOH, since they have never done a segment involving Cthulhu before. I was sad when Cthulhu got nommed by Homer's family though! 8/10

Intrusion of the Y-Pod Snatchers: I love the plant references in this segment, the Pod People and it lacked the horrifying ending of the original film, with the alien world being a Utopia. I liked how the plant-aliens reacted to Lisa being a vegetarian. 2/10

Multip-Lisaty: Honestly I couldn't stop laughing at "Penelope's" song to Bart and Milhouse and Nelson. Since the majority of this part took place at the recycling plant, I liked it when Lisa spared Bart because they're family, although the reason for Lisa's personality being fragmented being "Getting an F on a test" seemed pretty weak (an understatement) for me. I laughed harder at Milhouse's response to the burning effigies being "I wish I could lose that much calories". I liked Lisa's voice as the Beast and as the Scotsman. I still wanted some more detailling on Lisa's personalites of the Beast and the Penelope though! :lisa: You could tell the writers ran out of ideas halfway through 5/10

Genetic Park: I liked the Jurassic Park references, although this had the least bite (pun intended) because I wanted the senior dinosaurs to eat a lot of humans there. 2/10

Remember how she reacted to getting a B+ in Kamp Krusty.

Even remember, remember her behavior in the PTA Disbands?!
