I was a bit disappointed really. Half the reason why Ricky Gervais is funny on shows like The Office is the reactions of people intelligent enough to see his character for what it is. If he tells an unfunny joke then you will see the other characters looking at eachother as if waiting for the punchline. There wasn't much of that in this episode because he spent most of the time with Marge, who came across as thoroughly stupid.
On another note, aren't Simpson episodes getting a little crude in these past few years? A particular low point was when Homer was at a feminist convention as he said the words "I'm becoming ashamed of my penis" and the episode "Large Marge"
