what really makes it enjoyable is your nice touch of commentary after some of the real movies.
I love it!

No “The President’s Neck is Missing?” That’s the one we quote in my house all the time!

holy cow! I think… I’m almost ashamed of the fact that I got 100%. But then again, I am a child of the 80’s & have been watching The Simpsons since it’s inception. oh well, just another bit of proof that my brain is, in fact, a bastian of useless information.

14/15. Not bad for having no idea who this McClure fellow was. I just took it so I could see which ones were the real movies.

Best. Quiz. Ever. Makes me want to get out my Simpsons DVDs.
