(skip to 1:21 for the actual clip, and read the description!) This is what I'm going to call my long-overdue 700-sub special, seeing as this is the first thing I've had time to make an actual video of. Got some new software and I'm trying something a little more artistic. ;-)

Marge Vs The Monorail - a perfect Simpsons episode. Many agree it's the best out of the entire show. However, one tiny, TINY change would've made it even better than what it already is.
At the very end of the episode, the "anchor" skitters along the road, suddenly flings itself into the air and snags on the donut-shop's sign. Thing is, what caused it to bounce up like that? I went though frame by frame and they didn't give any indication as to what, but do you know what would've been absolutely perfect?

If the anchor had bounced off a pothole in Main Street.

Think about it. They brilliantly foreshadow how the roads are FULL of holes, and remind you of it throughout the episode, such as when the family leave the meeting and when the limo pulls roughly up to the station's opening ceremony. Then they just sort of forget about it for the rest of the episode...
I'm convinced that this is actually what they fully intended, to the point where I'm going to call it a flat animation error that the anchor didn't hit a pothole. What do you think?

The Simpsons copyright to Fox and Matt Groening. This spectacular episode written by Conan O'Brian and his fabulous hair. I do not own any of the original footage or music here, I have only edited it to prove a point. No money is being made off this video - never has, and never will. :-)
