  One of the best I've seen! hide show

  I actually loved this one! It was actually one of my personal favorites. I liked how they made an illusion of bush Gardens and call it Duff Gardens. The best part of this episode out of all parts was when Lisa got drunk by sipping Duff out of the beer river and started having hallucinations. This was the era when the Simpsons were actually funny but it's all Family Guy's fault it's not too good now! Let me say that This Episode Is Actually In My Personal Opinion One Of Matt Groening's Best Simpsons Episodes That He Ever Dared To Make!

  I am the lizard queen! hide show

  Ok, Ok, the lizard queens not here right now but on the bright side, you are here to witness my 1st ever review. Thats a good thing. Ok, now, this episode is about when Selma's aunt dies, she realises that she is getting old and that she might die alone. So she dissides to have a kid. But she takes out Lisa, Bart and Maggie (I think) to a carnival. To quote Homer's Brain: "I would have never thought of that!" This episode is one of my all time favorites. I like everything about it. I mean, what's not to like?! And plus this episode gave me my all time favorite simpsons line "I am the lizard queen!" I almost DIED when I heard that! And in conclusion, this is a great episode and I'd recommed it to anyone and everyone! Thank you David for this GREAT episode!

  Amazing episode the bit with the sandwhich is hilarious, and then when Lisa said "I am the lizard queen." hide show

  Aunt Selma realizes that she might wind up dying all alone and thinks that having a baby can relieve her loneliness. To test her maternal instincts, she takes Bart and Lisa to Duff Gardens, an amusement park, where she realizes that parenthood isn't all it's cracked up to be. At the park, Lisa gets high by drinking the water in the Little Land of Duff ride, and Bart misbehaves in his own unique way. Shaken by the experience, Selma is pleased to have no kids of her own and accepts her life and everyone in it, including Jub Jub, her pet iguana.

  Lisa tripping out on "water", and Duff Gardens. hide show

  Genius! I like all of the parts of this episode, Great Aunt Gladice dead, Selma, and Moleman dating, Duff Gardens, the infamous Hoagie that Homer ate, beserk George Washington robot, and Lisa's Acid trip. I am the Lizard Queen!!!! I also like to see more of those little robots singing the Duff Beer Song.

• Goof: While the "hoodlums" (Jimbo Jones, Kearney and Dolph) are making off with the bumper cars, they initially show Jimbo and Dolph in blue cars with Kearney in a red car. But when the scene changes to show them from behind, Jimbo's car has changed to Green while the other two cars remain the same color. [edit]
• The second potato chip of Aunt Gladys' collection that Homer eats is of the hoisting of the flag by five Marines and a Naval Corpsman on February 23rd, 1945, at Iwo Jima during World War II. [edit]
• Homer and Marge watch "The Erotic Adventures of Hercules" starring Troy McClure. McClure plugged this movie in episode 9F07, "Mr. Plow". [edit]

• First Appearance: Jub-Jub [edit]
• On the April 11, 2006 episode of Late Night with Conan O'Brien, former Simpsons writer Conan O'Brien revealed, in an interview with Hank Azaria, that he came up with the name Jub-Jub for the iguana, as it was a phrase he used to break awkward silences. [edit]
• This episode has an extra credit for the vocal performance of the song "(You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman" by Michele Pillar. [edit]

• Worker: We found this one swimming naked in the pool.
  Lisa: I am the lizard queen! [edit]
• (at Aunt Gladys' funeral, Lisa goes up to the casket)
  Lisa: Goodbye Great Aunt Gladys. I'm sorry I didn't get to know you better
  Bart: (in a raspy voice from behind the casket) Don't worry about it
  (Lisa runs away screaming; Bart laughs) [edit]
• Troy McClure: Come to Duff Gardens, where roaming gangs aren't a big problem anymore! [edit]

• Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
  Selma's appearance during Lisa's hallucinogenic experience is a reference to Ralph Steadman's illustrations in the 1972 novel by Hunter S. Thompson. [edit]
• Robert Frost
  The poem Aunt Gladys reads in her video will is "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost, but only the first and last lines are heard because Homer fast-forwards through it. [edit]
• Walt Disney World
  Duff Gardens appears to be a spoof of Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. The Little Land of Duff, complete with repetitive music, is similar to the It's a Small World river ride, and the street parade is similar to the Main Street Electrical Parade [edit]
