About this episode

The episode features comedian Dave Thornton discussing the iconic Simpsons episode 'Rosebud'.

This week we were joined by comedian Dave Thornton (what a scoop!) to revisit "Rosebud", an episode jam-packed with some of the show's most iconic moments. Whether it's The Ramones' (and Mr. Burns') happy birthday renditions, 64 slices of American cheese, THAT "yes" moment, or even Barney's "2+2 is 4", there is so much to unpack and appreciate in what may be Swartzwelder's greatest Simpsons script. We also discuss whether we'd sell our child's favourite toy, McDonald's birthday parties, terrible stand-up introductions and more.
