Score & Summarize: "Brush With Greatness"

[ThatAsianGuy]

jon lovitz's character was great. 5/5

[The Sovereign]

an enjoyable episode, there's better ones in S2 though imo

4/5

[Jesse Pinkman]

3/5, it was one of Marge's boring plots, least for me

[hughes]

My favorite Season 2 episode, spot-on humor, and none of the touchy-feely moralizing crap that sometimes took away from other great episodes this season. Great appearance by Ringo Starr, and Best. Ending Lines. EVER

15/15

[Nauru-1]

A good season 2 episode. I liked the side story of Homer trying to be more healthy. 4/5

[bartyboy]

Thanks For not making fun of my genatalia.
4/5

[Dr Nick Riviera]

This is probably my favorite Marge episode. I give it a 4/5 (I don't give 5 star reviews too often).

[Haoie]

Best Beatles appearance, that's for sure!

[Georgie]

"Another triumph!"

One of my favorite episodes from the classic era (although I have quite a few). I love their interpretation of Ringo i.e. "I hung it on me wall!" Jon Lovitz is hilarious in his first guest spot. And of course:

"Incidentally thanks for not making fun of my genitalia."
"I thought I did."

4/5

[The Wiggs]

Very good episode. Great classic feel to it. I also love when Carl talks but its Lenny's voice. Classic. 5/5

[Praise Land]

Great episode and enjoy watching it everytime. A

[Bella Drape 'er]

Burns, as all his season two is an exceptional delight here, infiltrating the family home and being the mean old Tyrant he usually is.

Very fun episode, love the conclusion, Marge throwing Burns out and the beginning at the amusement park. 4/5

[Comicshow MolemanBob]

Brush with Greatness: C+, 3.5/5, 6.5/10, Adequate

[alex_on_ice]

I'd give this episode a well deserved 4/5. This episode has one of the most hilarious scenes in the entire series. The first time I saw this scene I was simply in tears (of joy): It's the moment where Homer gets stuck in that slide and there are a bunch of kids that are sent down the slide to unblock Homer. Just the screams of both Homer and the kids are fabulous .

I really enjoy the story quite a bit in this episode. Marge who gets back to expressing her talent in art, first painting Homer as a fat couch patato in his underwear and then doing a portrait of Mr. Burns. I also really love the one character Professor Lombardo.

[Bleedin' Gums Murphy]

Excellent episode. Shows the true beauty of art and also how even the ugliest of souls(Mr Burns) can be made 'beautiful'. Also Homer losing weight after waterpark incident & Ringo's cameo was funny and inspiring. 5/5 and 9/10.

[cloneasaurus]

Another episode from season 2 that may not be a flat out classic but just has a really enjoyable plot and some great jokes. A. Always found this one underrated.

[Lionel Hutz]

A fine season 2 outing. Mr. Burns really shines and Ringo Starr's guest appearance is quite memorable.

Best Quotes:

Kroon Along With Krusty:
I want to go to Mt. Splashmore
Take me, Take me,take me, take me now
Now!, Now!, Now!, Now!, Now!

Lisa: This is a rather shameless promotion.
Bart: Hey, it worked on me
Lisa: Me, too

Bart and Lisa: Will you take us to Mt. Splashmore? (ad nauseum)

Homer: Heads up kids, I'm moving the seat back.
Lisa: It is back.

Prof. Lombardo: Marge, please. I don't take praise very well!

Mr. Burns: Somebody up there likes me, Smithers.
Smithers: Somebody down here likes you too, Sir.
Mr. Burns: Shut up!

Mr. Burns: Beatles eh. Oh, yes, I seem to remember there off-key caterwauling on the old Sullivan Show. What was Ed thinking?

Homer: Honey, I'm home!
Mr. Burns: Oh, there's an original sentiment.

Mr. Burns: There's something on my leg! Get it off! Get it off!
Marge: Mr. Burns, it's just a baby.

Smithers: Would you feel more comfortable if I left too Sir?
Mr. Burns: Of course not Smithers. You're..you're like a doctor.

Mr. Burns: Let me get this straight. You're pleased with your current appearance. Why my good man, you're the fattest thing I've ever seen, and I've been on Safari.
Homer: If you need me, I'll be in the refrigerator.

Marge: Don't listen to him. He's just a mean little SOB!

Ringo Starr: Thanks for the Fab painting of Yours Truly. I hung it on me wall...
p.s. forgive the lateness of my reply

Ms. Hoover: He's bad, but he'll die, so I like it.

Mr. Burns: And incidentally, thanks for not making fun of my genitalia.
Marge: I thought I did.
