What's wrong with The Simpsons S36's Barbie spoof?
Although much of the surrounding episode worked, The Simpsons season 36’s Barbie parody proved that the show still struggles with a recurring issue. The Simpsons is great at parodying movies. Anyone who has seen season 2, episode 5, “Cape Feare,” can attest that The Simpsons parodying Martin Scorsese's disturbing Cape Fear is funnier than most entire feature-length movies, despite the episode’s tight twenty-minute runtime. However, not all the show’s spoofs work.
2 Season 36, episode 6, “Women in Shorts,” is an inventive, fast-paced anthology episode focusing on female supporting characters from the world of The Simpsons who are all too often ignored and underused by the show. An indirect follow-up to season 7, episode 21, “22 Short Films About Springfield,” “Women In Shorts” fleshed out existing characters like Luanne Van Houten, Lindsay Naegle, and The Simpsons season 36’s breakout star Agnes Skinner.
