Trivialidades:

We learn that Homer's IQ is 55. According to the DSM-IV guidelines this puts him on the bottom end of mild mental retardation. To be considered moderately retarded, one must have an IQ of less than 50.

Errores:

Errores Reales: The removal of the crayon boosts Homer's IQ from 55 to 105, but technically that still does not make him a Genius. Average or normal intelligence is rated as 90 - 109. IQ's of 110 - 119 are considered to be Superior Intelligence; only 140 and up win the title of Genius.

Citas:

[removal of the crayon in Homer’s brain will either increase his brain power, or possibly kill him]
Homer: Increase my killing power, eh?

First, I'd like to say it's good to see Itchy & Scratchy again after so long. They were part of the animation fair, and the rest of this was great. Animotion was pretty funny, and all the things that stemmed from this. Good things were Carl's remark, "So, does he still work here or not?" Homer's brain singing "We're in the money!" and the automatic share prices: "What the hell is this crap?" "Fox Broadcasting, down 8."

Next, Homer is in money trouble for the third time this Season (Homer Vs Dignity, The Great Money Caper), and so Homer goes to a medical research centre. In yet another twist to the story, Homer has a crayon in his brain.

When I first heard about this story, I thought it would be really funny, but it wasn't as good as I expected. The explanation for the crayon not having been noticed before was poor, but a lot of things in this part of the episode were good, such as Homer accidentally proving there's no God, the scene at the school, the auditorium being bulldozed into a mini mall, Lisa's graphs, and Homer's "walk" (which was actually a drive).

Rating: 7/10
