Itchy & Scratchy

Your favorite Insider just saw The Simpsons movie with Son of Insider. Lots of giggles. Do see it. Soon.

So, you might ask, how can I get away with such a random item in a soccer blog? Well, amigos, all I needed was the ticklish, 2.3-second reference to the beautiful game midway through the flick. Ha! Full eligibility for inclusion in Insider Nation.

Enjoy the weekend.....

Spider-pig
Spider-pig
Does whatever a spider-pig does
Can he swing from a web?
No he cant
He's a pig
Look out,
He is the spider-pig!

He's no longer Spider-Pig.

He's Harry Plopper.

Thx,

Jay!

what was the exact "soccer" line?

the theatre was loud and i missed all of that joke.

I just got back from the movie and the sound mix was low enough that I missed the setup to the joke and only heard the word soccer.

Really happy with the movie. I was an avid Simpsons fan growing up but haven't watched more than an episode or two in the last 4 or 5 years. The series really dropped off in my opinion.

The movie was great. I'm really surprised how well they did it.

The opening here in Argentina was the largest opening night for any movie ever in Argentina.... Argentines are passionate about their futbol and Homer Simpson.

SL Benfica won last year the biggest soccer club on world... achieved and it's in the Guinness World Records! ADU you'll see the huge passion that is SL BENFICA! You will LOVE IT!

Son of Insider deserves a treat for finding the Simpsons soccer clip on YouTube a while back (probably when he should have been doing his homework).

I have never seen an episode of the Simpson's. The lines I hear on the movie adverts on the radio seem devoid of humor. Totallly un-funny. I guess you had to see the show...

I would expect to see a BigSoccer thread telling people to boycott the movie.
