Well that was a total dud from start to finish (even the
credits wound up doing a rake gag). Lisa (and Bart, somewhat) characterization in particular was just way off. Give me
Apes-a-Poppin' any day.
Oh, and remember humans are primates, so Marge's joke falls
flat too.
Was it just me or did this episode feel like maybe it was written
during COVID (when the Joe Exotic phenomenon was going on) but didn't
get produced until recently? Some of the stuff in the last act might
have seemed more topical if it was released back then.
Also, I think the story could have been better if the abduction had
happened earlier in the show, or if there was a second story to follow
along with.
I actually didn't see the problem with the joke. Maybe I didn't follow
it, but I thought she implied that we were primates but that Homer was
the alpha and the chimp was at the bottom in the house.

Her quick bit may have been the funniest part.
