that episode was funny.

I like the part where homer asks what the 'mapple cube' does. And the salesman is like, "you should be asking what you can do for it!"

That's probably my favorite "post Yellow Fever" Simpsons episodes. I love the scene where Bart does the voice over for Mr. Turtleneck.
"I made a fortune off you chumps and I've invested it all in Microsoft!" :lol:
I really liked the end of that scene where the Comic Book Guy flails the hammer at the screen referencing the 1984 Macintosh commercial.

It all just made me laugh at the Mac craze. Someone gives a rip about overpriced computers that make you semi cool, it's not me though.

Another episode with a couple Apple slams. There is an imaginary character called King iPod.

The 'Diepod' was the stupidest Apple take on the Simpsons, and that was a few seasons back. This epi was barely average, if incredibly obvious and over the top.

Sigh, I miss Dolph's Newton.

Yeah, the DiePod was pretty stupid, but seeing "Mega Death" on the bottom was pretty cool.

sigh....the simpsons. it used to be so funny.

there was a mypod reference in last nights episode too....but it didn't seem negative in anyway. They did give a few good jabs to apple, but nothing truly funny. I think they should have ended it by 2000....it's just seemed like they are beating a dead horses mummy at this point. None of the jokes really feel new anymore. Just kinda a little chuckle here and there.
