Funny Muppet reference on the second new episode of The Simpsons tonight. The bartender Moe was babysitting Maggie (it's a long story), and at one point he tried to find a doll for her to play with. "We can't tickle Elmo anymore," he said as he pulled the doll off the shelf and attempted to tickle him. Elmo slapped him and said, "When Elmo says no, Elmo means no!"

Lawsuit Elmo...now THAT'S a funny enough doll to buy.

Didn't they use a similar joke with a Tickle Me Krusty? I guess it's more funny when they use the real product instead of a parody.

I don't really find anything on The Simpsons funny these days-- *is killed by a mob of Simpsons-obsessed people*

Well, I'm "Simpsons-obsessed," and that show has gone waaaaaaaaaaaay downhill. The "vast" majority of jokes (At least I think they're supposed to be jokes LOL ) just aren't funny.

There was one good joke in the finale: When Burns says "How you got in my car pool I'll never know."
