History Recap / TheSimpsonsS19E11That90sShow

** Weird Al Yankovic appears on ''The Simpsons'' again, this time doing a parody of one of Sadgasm's "Shave Me", calling his version "Brain Freeze".
** MTV's Kurt Loder delivers a news report about Sadgasm's breakup.

** A young Comic Book Guy is heard saying "...and that's why ''Literature/LordOfTheRings'' can never be filmed."

* TheCameo: Weird Al Yankovic appears on ''The Simpsons'' again, this time doing a parody of one of Sadgasm's "Shave Me", calling his version "Brain Freeze".

* ContinuitySnarl: Besides Marge's personality (which a small, but vocal minority have cited as the reason they despise this episode), the main problem with this episode is the careless retconning of Homer and Marge being young and childless in the 1990s and the forced jokes about 1990s pop culture (especially considering that the show itself was a huge part of 1990s pop culture). Mike Amato put it best in his review:

* ShoutOut: The title is an allusion to ''Series/That70sShow''.

* UngratefulBitch: Marge was at her worst in this episode, what with ditching Homer for her professor when Homer was paying for her tuition by working a job he hated.

-->Let's talk for a second about what I believe to be the show's moving timeline. Homer and Marge's senior prom was in 1974, but that was from [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS2E12TheWayWeWas The Way We Was]]", which aired in 1991. With the show still airing, being set in modern time, and with the characters not aging, time shifts forward, so at the point this episode aired, Homer and Marge would have graduated high school in... 1991. Weird, huh?

** Sadgasm's songs are reminiscent of Music/{{Nirvana}} songs, with the exception of "Margerine", a parody of "Glycerine" by Bush. Weird Al parodying Sadgasm is a reference to his Nirvana parody. Kurt Loder announcing their breakup is a reference to him announcing the death of Music/KurtCobain on MTV.

** Sadgasm's songs are reminiscent of Music/{{Nirvana}} songs, with the exception of "Margerine", a parody of "Glycerine" by Bush.

** Sadgashm's songs are reminiscent of Music/{{Nirvana}} songs, with the exception of "Margerine", a parody of "Glycerine" by Bush.

** Sadgashm's songs, in general, are reminescent of Music/{{Nirvana}} songs, with the exception of "Margerine", a parody of "Glycerine" by Bush.

* DevotedToYou: Even though Marge was cruel to him and left him for Stefane, he still loved her and sung a heartbroken song about her, mentioning her by name.

* UngratefulBitch: Marge was at her worst in this episode, what with ditching Homer for her professor when Homer was paying for her tuition by working a job he hated.

** The scene where Marvin Cobain calls his cousin, Kurt Cobain, telling them about Sadgasm's sound, is a direct parody of the scene from ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' where Chuck Berry's cousin Marvin calls Chuck to tell him about Marty McFly's new sound.

* {{Jerkass}} Marge's college professor, Stefane August. He manipulates Marge into dumping Homer for him and acts like he's a revolutionary feminist, but really he's just a jerk who would sleep with one of his students.

* ShoutOut: The title is an allusion to ''That70sShow''.

* DevotedToYou: Even though Marge was cruel to him and left him for Stfane, he still loved her and sung a heartbroken song about her, mentioning her by name.

* {{Jerkass}} Marge's college professor, Stefane August. He manipulates Marge into dumping Homer for him and acts like he's a revolutionary feminist, but really he's just a jackass.

* TheNineties

* FakeGay: When Moe got caught trying to steal a patron's wristwatch, he claimed he was trying to flirt. To Moe's [[OhCrap horror]], his "feelings" were reciprocated.
