  • Homer the Stonecutter Overlord

    This is another great episode of the show I love. This episode just doesn't have one dull moment, it's sort of a loose parody on the conspiricy theories on secret societies.

    I really love this Stonecutters club and how it opperates it almost makes me wish I could join. These guys just seem to have so many advantages like getting out of a trafic jam which was a little homage to the 60's Batman TV show or having some sort of free pass to get pop drinks out of the vending machine. But one of the things I really love was the secret history of the Stonecutters, that flashback seeing the Declaration of Independance is hillarous. All of them make off like phrat boys after they sign it.

    This is another episode where Homer is just at his best from begining, middle, and end. From seeing him messing up by using the sacred Stonecutter parshment as a bib, why Homer couldn't of just got or asked for a napkin from a server beats me it just goes to show Homer's lack or non existance of common sense. Getting attached from the stone of shame which is a small bolder to the stone of triumph which is a huge bolder I just laugh my head off every time I see that. Down to being a leader which he actually proved he was a capable one the only problem was his acts of leadership were cramping the Stonecutter's style as if they even had any, all the Stonecutter's did was simply borrish common stuff drink beer and what ever else they could think of with it. This leads them to create a new club to counter their old one which really isn't any different except in name only "No Homer's Club" which is hillarous as well as location which is a Baskin Robins. This made me wonder how the heck are they able to even do any recreational activities let alone fit that many people in such a small buliding. If it was a plaza or a mall with no opporating stores hen I could buy that, but this inconsistancy alone makes it all the more funny.

    Though I don't feel all the credit should be handed to Homer, some of it I feel should be handed to the guest star Patrick Stweart whom plays no. 1. I just thought he was dryly hillarous because he plays a character that is similar and yet contrary to his usual roles. I really love how he says something inteltgent and then suddenly he makes a boorish suggestion. "Now lets get drunk and play Ping Pong". I always cracked up on that line.

    And final note that song "We do" is another memorable and hillarous song from the Simpsons. Trust me the words in it are just comic gold.moreless

    Homer follows Lenny and Carl to their secret club:The Stonecutters. Homer really wants to join, but the club is exclusive. You must be the son of a stonecutter, or save the life of a stonecutter.

    At dinner, Homer stops ingnoring Grampa for one minute to find out he is a Stonecutter. That means he is in the club. But he first must pass the tests. Homer loves the club, but one day at the club, he uses the oath as a napkin, and gets kicked out. But when the leader finds out Homer has a birthmark, he is the chosen one. Homer takes advantage of it, and soon they start a new club. The No Homer's Club.

    Overall Grade:A+/100%moreless

    Homer joins the stonecutters only to be kicked out. However ,he is "The Chosen One" because of a mark he has, and so he stays in, but soon he goes mad with power. What will the other stonecutters do?

    Great episode, the song "We Do" is one of the bests of the series, this episode gave birth to the No Homers Club forum on the net (woohoo!), and the whole episode is really funny from start to finish, definitely a classic episode in my books at least, this episode easily gets an A+, definitely a perfect episode of the seriesmoreless

  • Homer joins a secret society, and makes for a great episode

    In this episode, Homer becomes suspicious of Carl and Lenny's behavior, and he begins to follow them around until he founds out why: they are members of a secret society called "the Stonecutters." At first they deny Homer entry due to the fact that he doesn't meet they're requirements(Be a son of a stonecutter, save a stonecutter's life) and then he finds out that Granpa is a member. He is then allowed to join after initiation. I found alot of scenes to be hilarious in this episode, like Granpa being a member of Communist party, and Gay and Lesbian asscioation for example. Overall, very funny, highly recommended. 9.5/10 Amoreless

    When Homer begins to notice Lenny and Carl acting strangely, he trails them and discovers that they are members of The Stonecutters, a secret organization. Homer wants to join but he can't unless he's the son of a member. Luckily, Grampa is a Stonecutter (and a member of the Black Panthers) so Homer's membership is a shoo-in. Once on the inside, Homer discovers that the Stonecutters are a rigidly hierarchical group--he is given a number instead of a name, and must work his way up the ladder. But when Number One, the Stonecutters' leader, spies a mark on Homer's butt, he is anointed the Chosen One. As Supreme Head of the Stonecutters, Homer foolishly turns a once-great secret organization into a laughingstock. His followers rebel and start a new secret club, The Ancient Mystic Society of No Homers.moreless
