    Eh, episode was very much up and down. There were a few gags I enjoyed, and a bunch that were pretty dumb, but I actually liked the little confrontation between Homer and Marge near the end the best plotwise. Very short still. I also don't get the couch gag, but I'm not a smart phone haver.
    DYN:
    ...this was rated the full TV-14-DLSV (presumably for sexual content more than anything else)?
    ...a mo-cap ping-pong ball attached to the real (green-painted) one?
    ...a Wilhelm Scream in Burns's view of hell?
    Previous episode stuff
    5F02: Witch Bouvier sisters in the cloud gag
    1F16: Burns's plot has shades of this with the family auditions (including Milhouse) and surrogacy, as well as Burns directing the family members (sorta) Meta stuff
    Among other things: "Maggie talk! No one listen? Maggie never talk again", Marge complaining about not being given jokes
