    Eh. I liked the Sideshow Bob story - after all these years it was a great way to see Bob finally get revenge, though obviously the reanimation is a bit far-fetched. Homerzilla was kinda cute but the whole remake twist seemed a little drawn out. Telepaths was fine. And I'm not a huge John K fan so the opening didn't do much for me. Did like the slight jab at glory years from Kang
    & Kodos (funny, I was actually thinking of "King Homer" from 9F04 [Treehouse of
    Horror III] during Homerzilla and that's in season 4!). Also, very short. (Don,
    note: football ended on time and the show started at 8.)
    DYN:
    ...there is no episode title (or even "The Simpsons") in the opening? ...Milhouse has his own emoji (and his cell phone is mentioned in two separate stories)?
    ...there are two separate and very conspicuous pages in the credits about Hanna-Barbera's characters (usually they'd get their own, yes, but why not combined)?
    Previous episode stuff
    4F18: Frank Grimes tombstone in opening (note also that the followup, EABF01, included Sideshow Bob too!)
    9F22: Die Bart Die, rake gag
    CABF19: The leprechaun is back for yet another TOH
    BABF04: Bob's way of getting revenge on Bart over and over is not unlike the Itchy & Scratchy in "Tears of a Clone"
    7G12: Reference to Bob's original attempt to frame Krusty
    4F18: Mr. Sparkle ad (and the word "prefecture") of course appear in the Japanese Springfield
    7G02: "Skinner is a wiener" graffiti, mostly
    AABF15: "Everything's coming up Milhouse!"
    Meta
    -Bart says "ay caramba" during one of his reanimations
    -Lisa refers to "Jailbird" as if it's a name
    -Homer sees the "reanimator" machine and scoffs, saying this animation looks all right to him
    -D'oh-jo
    -The American remake of Homerzilla seems to have "TABF1" all over the boxes they're dumping in the ocean, but why it's not the full TABF18 I do not know Goof
    In the credits, "That '70s Line" should really be "That '70s Line" (with an apostrophe).
    Hmm?
    The episode description online suggests that one story is about Homer having short-term memory problems, but that's not what his story is.

    First Story:

    Huckleberry Hound - who was just plagiarized from Andy Griffith
    Thank you http://www.simpsonsarchive.com/episodes/3F16.html, the ultimate source of all information about Huckleberry Hound AND Andy Griffith

    "Your stomach acids are smoothing the dimples off my balls." WTF!!!

    Sideshow Bob has moved on to his "Post Bartem Phase".

    Sideshow Bob's Emmy is in his bookcase in his office.

    The killing of Bart where the paper airplane went through the fan was like something out of Itchy and Scratchy.

    Second Story: "NUMBER ONE!!! One Hundred Percent!!! Can't you see that I am serious!"

    Did you see the "Mr. Sparkle" billboard?

    The four sushi groups:
    Icky
    Ucky
    Ooky
    Gross

    You have to see the very first Godzilla movie to appreciate the scene where Homerzilla opens his eyes and starts yelling when he is deep in the ocean. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047034/

    Solitaire, the Movie, don't see it alone.
    The Green Hornet vs The Green Lantern, with special appearance
    by the Green Arrow!

    Third Story:

    There was a "Barrel of Monkeys" in a THOH a few years back but I cannot find the reference at www.simpsonsarchive.com.

    When they are sliding down the hole they pass Fred Flinstone's skeleton.

    "Madame how do you do?" I remember watching this on TV when I was a little kid. You guys are too young to remember this. I recognized it immediately. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047034/

    The plot was copied from: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082763/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_68
    But in this movie Chevy Chase made his girlfriend have lots of orgasms.
