"Perfect"

By Cirno123, Aug 02, 2010 Report Abuse

Plot: As Brendan, Melissa, and Jason making there movie parodying space super hero movies using historical characters such as Annie Oackly and Piccasso. Due to Brendan's huge case of stupidity of history, he botches things up in the movie, leading to some hilarious moments, and him failing his Social Studies test. Great plot!

Highlights: Once again Brendan and Coach Mguirk steal the show with one of the funniest lines in this episode "Who wrote the geddysburgh address?
Richard Nixon!
Good, now do his impression.
BLAH I'M NOT A CROOK".
Everyone had great lines, but that one was my favorite. The end was a great homage to Superman and The songs were fantastic.

Final Verdict: Fantastic, one of my favorite episode.moreless

"Perfect"

By Asleetx, Dec 17, 2008 Report Abuse

Watching old episodes of Home Movies were hardly funny compared to the newer episodes with improvements but there are some old episodes that still can be funny. "History" is a perfect example of how old episodes of Home Movies are still funny. I could not stop laughing from the inaccuracy Brendon made in his movies and on his history test. "Starboy & The Captain of Outer Space" is the best home movies ever they made compared to the other garbage they make but some are still good. The movie has a funny plot with interesting characters like Starboy and Captain of Outer Space and the movie became better with the musical in it. I was surprised near the end and I guess that not all TV shows can't have a happy ending for the protagonist. I was a little annoyed by Brendon and Coach McGuirk stupidity but overall, this is awesome episode.moreless
