Rate and review: BART VS. AUSTRALIA [2F13]

[Rowdy Roddy Peeper]

Not the best in the season, but my favourite vacation episode. Very funny and appeals to everyone!

[Wezzo]

One of the top 30 ever, IMO. Not the best of S6, but then again S6 was blindingly brilliant. 5/5, no question.

[Paul]

5/5 for me as well.

[George Cauldron]

I think it's lunchtime.

It's very good, it's very good. A nice balance of humor for even the most stony-faced viewer to laugh at. You're unlikely to find any satire in it, but you will enjoy it.

[Slob]

wasnt too bad. its pretty funny watchin how ppl do impressions of us.
7/10

[I'm David Croket!]

I think It's a little overrated but still great. 8/10
I prefer "Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington" as a vacation episode.

[Eddie]

If you want tense morals/messages or believable characters you can relate to, look elsewhere. This episode is great for one thing: flat-out entertainment. 8/10

[doyle]

a high quality S6 episode, up there with the best in that season. the australian satire is priceless as well. 4.5/5

[Dr Zaius]

5/5 The best vacation episode ever.

"It's time for to bend over and recieve my destiny"
"Show 'em what American butts are made of, son"

Also, Tobias' voice is very funny.

[Clarence]

9/10 I don't find it as good as people make it out to be.

[Dr Zaius]

....and so you give it a nine?

[Kuje]

lol

I havent seen it in a while, but I think i would give it around a 4.1/5, It is quite overrated

[Crotis Jivefunk]

One of season 6's best. 5/5

[The Brain]

I was looking forward to seeing the Simpsons come to Australia but I did not really like this episode very much. It made us out to be all just dumb arse criminals. Perhaps they should have used a little reality rather than every stupid sterotype available. Sure it had some funny parts in it but this has to be one of my least favorite episodes.

[SideshowTim]

Yeah they did overload the stereotypes and very little reality was used but It was still enjoyable for me 9/10.

[God]

Us Kiwis knew about the overloaded stereotypes too and things like that but still a very good episode, which most people would enjoy .

4/5

[Channel Surfer]

Grade: B+

Not brilliant by any means, but it's at least fun as a wacky adventure (though "Itchy and Scratchy Land" remains my favorite of the wacky vacation episodes). This has something other vacation episodes like "Kill the Alligator and Run" and "Simpson Safari" lack, a nice use of all the characters, particularly Bart at the end with him humming "Stars and Stripes Forever" while showcasing his butt to the Aussies. And the story itself, while silly, is at least memorable for the absurd Aussie steoreotypes and the whole booting plotline. Just fun.

[Miss Springfield]

I think its funny over the top but also kind of irritating because I am Aussie. I know its meant to make us look dumb, Pity they couldn't include Steve Irwin at the time that would be too easy for them.

[Wezzo]

Aussies-

It's just a cartoon. There's no reason to be insulted, no-one thinks that you have naked prime ministers and whatever!

[George Cauldron]

The writers wouldn't have used naked Australian Prime Ministers if they didn't really exist! ;-/

[pat]

Enjoyable to watch. One of my top 10. 5/5

Is it me, or Wezzo said ave instead of have
:(

[Wezzo]

Wezzo said ave instead of have. oops.

[squishee lady]

I think it's one of the "classics". I give i A-.

[Bob Underdunk T]

Best of the vacation eps.

[duffless89]

Not everyone in Australia drinks bloody Foster's! VB is very popular.
Anyway, I loved the stereotypical point-of-view that the Americans have of us. We need to have a laugh at ourselves.
As a matter of fact, the episode is showing in a few days!

[Duffman007]

Pretty good episode, good laughs. :D

Really? Seriously? you're joking, right? You're N-NOT?!! *faints*

5000th post.. WOO!

[Generic]

3.5/5. We Aussies needed a sense of humour to watch this one and a sense of humour I do possess, but some of the stereotypes were more tired than funny.

[Rnymd]

6/10: Worst of Season 6 by far. i am an aussie, i didnt take anything offesively, but the only good bit is the first act with that blokes neighbour and taking hours and all.

2nd + 3rd acts pretty boring IMO.

[kuumuus]

5/5: The knifey-spooney bit is one of my favorite gags.

[Philip Cheesesteak]

Not the greatest episode IMO, but the funniest. It's somewhere in my top 25. Anyway, this was the most I'd ever laughed when watching the ol' idiot box. It's absolute hilarity, gag after gag, all of it working perfectly. Who could've thought that such a Scully-like premise could've turned out to be such a masterpiece? Grade - A+

Also, a high-five to all the Austrailians here for being good sports (unlike New Orleans).

[Sniper Squirrel]

Great episode, loved the knifey spoony bit and Hartman as Evan Conover

[Jimbo77]

2/5 very boring episode If I watch the Season 6 I skip that episode

[Homerpalooza]

4/5 a good and funny episode.

[Sparks]

Not the best vacation ep, Mr. Lisa Goes is better at satiring the location, but gagfest
Ep Rating: B
Tot Rating: 5/10

[Turambar]

5/5 Classic episode. Loved the deleted scene of Bart and Homer playing cricket in this one.

[Desperado]

I agree with I'm David Crocket, I like Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington better than this vacation episode. This episode has a lot of funny moments and I love the ending on the helicopter. However, there was little to no emotional value (although, I do like how the family sticks together even though Bart should have been punished and their happiness at Australia's expense) to the story and the satire was really limited to stereotypes from movies. I'd give it a 4/5. That might even be too high, but it's too hard to grade these things. -_-

[coltonwiggum]

Dammit; I accidentally voted 1/5, I meant to vote 5/5!

[mickmac_59]

I was disappointed with this one. Some bright spots, but the satire seemed to come from reading travel guides & not a real knowledge of Oz. Could have been much sharper. 2.5/5.

[Moe Nopoly]

i voted for "Funny but not great". The story was in the end pretty weak imo, but some funny moments.

[RJF]

4/5-
Really excellent episode.I'd say it's the best vacation episode ever,even though that's not really saying much.It's not the best in the series,but it's still packed with classic moments.

[Cupcake Kitsune]

Ignore.

[jaww05]

I'd like to hear an explanation of why someone thinks 30 minutes over Tokyo was better

[jase]

Amazing episode and being Australian, I was highly amused by the stereotypical jokes. Just great. 5/5

[Santos L. Halper]

One of my favourite episodes. 4/5. (Near perfect score. 5/5 for me is a perfect score)

Truly loved this episode. I can't believe people in Australia actually sooked about this episode. Very Un-Australian imo.

Btw, wtf is a lorry? "They're in the lifts, in the lorrys..."

[Rococo Fox]

A fairly enjoyable episode, but it missed its mark in a lot of parts and offered nothing truly great or memorable. 3/5

[Ezekiel 25:17]

5/5 first episode i ever saw (along with homer the heretic)

so funny that it got me into the series

now im buyin dvd sets and games and books

i love this episode

[LilyVonSchtupp]

Only outdone by Lise the Vegetarian.

[Hail to the Chimp]

Rate:
As an Aussie I find this episode very funny and amusing. A+ 4/5
I laugh my head everytime that Australian squeaky teen voice says:
"I would of called it a Chiz-wozza"

Review:
*Notice that Lisa does not play a real didgeridoo, Because females are not aloud to play the instrument, it was more like a carboard tube.
*We do get the boot if we get in shit.
*I dont drink beer, but if they gave me a foster that big I would drink it.
*bull frogs are not all across Aus, mainly Queens land.
*no doupt you already know all this.

[Slink]

7/10 for me. It was a good episode especially for a vacation episode.

[SpikyHairedHooligan]

one of the weakest classic era eps. 3/5

[lardofthedance]

I'm Australian and this episode makes me laugh every time and it's one of my favorites!

5/5

[altoids30]

The wacky "'The Simpsons are going to...' episode full of ridiculous stereotypes" done right. I recently watched this again and it's as hilarious as ever.

[LilyVonSchtupp]

Outstanding! A CLASSIC!!
