Short #38: Scary Movie
Two introductions in this short include the Happy Little Elves (I want to say it's a parody of The Smurfs) and Space Mutants (B-movie horror). Bart wants to see aliens and the girls want to see elves. Guess who wins? It's one of the more forgettable shorts despite the two parodies that would appear early on in the show's run. The payoff is definitely the ending, which is karma for Bart. Other than that, it's not anything too special.
Score: 6 out of 10
Short #39: Home Hypnotism
I really don't know if hypnotism actually works compared to what's seen in movies and television. That being said, it's interesting to see Homer not only try to be a parent, but also try an idea that would have translated very well into a 22 minute episode. He and Marge decide to hypnotize the kids to make them be good and nice. The idea works well and is surprisingly funny. Groening definitely delivered on the concept and is worth a watching.
Score: 7 out of 10
Next week's reviews include Bart stealing and the family going to Echo Canyon
