Why The Simpsons S35 E13's big change worked.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for The Simpsons season 35, episode 13

In season 34, The Simpsons attempted its first full-length Treehouse of Horror episode with a twenty-one-minute parody of Stephen King’s IT. The same season featured a finale that took place entirely in the few seconds between Homer crashing his car and landing on the ground, a surreal odyssey whose lesson Homer promptly forgot in season 35.

In a fascinating, risky decision, the episode’s interludes weren’t comedic in tone. The Simpsons season 35’s Marge-centric plot featured only two visual gags in the lengthy Stone Age scenes, and even these rare jokes were dark. One gag centered on how long it took a grunting Homer to die after he was impaled on a rock, while another saw Grampa hit with a pile of snow as he sacrificed his life to feed the Simpson children.

That outing saw Homer and Marge fend for themselves in the wilderness against a wolverine, much like season 35 episode 13 pitted Marge against a similarly formidable foe in her Stone Age storyline. In both cases, the stakes of the story were clear, since the series didn’t make light of Marge’s plight.
