No Loan Again, Naturally (originally aired March 9, 2009)
Nosotros've seen many instances before of Homer beingness an aggressively unlikable protagonist, just here'south an instance where it spills into Marge, and where we meet the Simpson family are hated town-wide pariahs for some goddamn reason. We outset annoyingly enough with Homer's annual backyard Mardi Gras political party, which is absolutely humungous, both in attendance, and the size of their frigging backyard. This is just another exorbitant expenditure that Homer thinks he tin can get away with his abode equity, only when he finds his mortgage rate has gone through the roof, he'south forced to surrender the house. Immediately information technology's hard to feel bad for him despite his gross ignorance because he was and so smug and cocky-righteous virtually seemingly pulling a fast ane on the bank. Also, Marge appears to exist out of the flick, or only an idiot. We come across her worry about the cost of the political party, then proceed to get boozer anyway. Lovely. At the auction for 742 Evergreen Terrace, a guilty Flemish region buys the house, offering to rent it out to the Simpsons.

With Ned as her new landlord, Marge uses this opportunity to have advantage of his expert will by putting him to work on numerous odd jobs around the house. She even gossips to her sisters about having her own picayune personal assistant. Ned understandably gets worn out, leading to an aroused phone call from Homer ("Landlords like you are the scum of the Earth! You lounge around in your egg McMansions and we never see you unless the hire check'south late!" "The rent check is belatedly!") They and so continue to get a news slice on Aqueduct half dozen vilifying Ned. Infuriated, Ned wants the Simpsons out of the house by the end of the month. Looking for a loophole, Homer finds he can't exist evicted if there is a senior living in the house, so he carts Grampa over, and of course openly shoves it and laughs in Ned's face. Ned retaliates by inviting Abe to live at his house, and the Simpsons are out on the street. Once more, am I supposed to feel any sympathy toward them given how both Homer and Marge are completely responsible for all of their hardships? Ned nearly signs the business firm to two new perfect tenants, but I guess because he's an eternal push-over, invites the Simpsons to move dorsum in. What fucking garbage.

Tidbits and Quotes
– I hate their stupid Mardi Gras political party. Marge and Lisa obviously can build a gigantic metallic bladder on their own. And the backyard is large enough that Homer can ride around in that huge affair. And Marge is such a responsible parent for not just allowing the unabridged town to get boozer and political party all night, just nosotros see her dancing wildly all boozed upwards herself. Remember how horrified she was at Homer'southward drunken antics in "War of the Simpsons"? That and she of course never questions how Homer tin beget such an exorbitant event. And the ending features anybody on the block deciding to move now that the Simpsons are back, yet they seem to be a pretty big hitting with this party. I could be leaving stuff out, merely my teeth have ground into dust and so I should probably stop.
– I'm confused why Gil works at the mortgage company and is in a flake of a position of power over the Simpsons. It'south not as bad as "Cross Words," but it nevertheless betrays him being a put-upon loser. Why are they using him like this?
–  The evening before the auction, Homer tries to hang himself from a tree in the forepart yard in forepart of his children. I can't fucking believe it… I mean, we've never seen trees on their front lawn before! And we've never see them since! Come on… Merely seriously, I'm glad the evidence thinks this is funny and acceptable, merely like all the other incredibly tasteful jokes they've washed about suicide. Class human activity, guys.
– Homer yells at Ned on the phone holding a cigar has got to be amongst his most jerkass-iest moments. I just can't run across how the writers, throughout the unabridged process of making he episode, didn't realize how unlikable this paints the Simpsons through the whole thing.
– Should I fifty-fifty comment on Bart's hair color existence naturally red? Nah.
– Ned's only rationale for getting the Simpsons back, I guess, is, "You lot can't be a saint unless you live amongst the lepers." Equally in, let me invite dorsum this horrible, horrible family who abused my kindness and good volition so I can feel improve about myself. And that family are our lovable main characters. The start three Hard disk drive episodes out of the box and all of them make my skin fucking crawl.
