About this episode

The episode critiques one of the worst Simpsons episodes, discussing its plot and cultural implications.

The Simpsons are going to Jerusalem! Why? Don't ask. Without a doubt one of the worst episodes of the series (so far) and boy do we take it to task. We discuss how this story could have made more sense, the nonsensical use of Sacha Baron Cohen as Jakob the tour guide, whether it was anti-semitic, a theory on when The Simpsons quality "dropped off" and more.
