Samantha is one of the best one-off characters. There's some really well-observed awkwardness to her character, how she's embarrassed in front of the class by Skinner and Krababbel, how she clearly didn't want to move to Springfield, how she naively asks Bart if he has any comics like "Punkin and Dunkin and the Twinkle Twins". She really captures the feeling of being a kid and being unhappy and out of place in a new school. When she meets Milhouse she accidentally smacks him in the face with a ball and he fumbles a compliment about her dress, and for once Milhouse's awkwardness helps him out. I'm always a bit sad at the ending, but at least they gave Samantha a place she could feel happy and a ten gallon tub of gummy bears.

Hey, hey -- I LOVE this episode's B plot, you disingenuous mountebank with your subliminal chicanery! Especially the payoff gag after Homer throws the tape away and asks for "that metal... dealie you use to... dig... food". Another counterpoint to your archly tendentious videographical pontification: my favorite Troy McClure movie is "Meat and You: Partners in Freedom!" I feel like it's a perfect satire of today's media landscape (from 30 years ago!), where it's really hard to tell the difference between real information and a load of rich, creamery butter. "Fluffy Bunny" is definitely a close second, though.

The B-plot helps give Lisa a role in both stories. If Bart could understand Homer he might not have asked Lisa for help. Granted it's not like Lisa's role in Bart's story is super essential or like the writers couldn't come up with a good way to keep Homer out of Bart's stuff if they really wanted to for some reason, but still. Homer's B-plot also comes with one of those random lines that always makes me laugh. It's when Lisa asks Bart why he doesn't ask dad for help and Bart says that he tried to but couldn't understand what the hell he was saying. I don't know why that line out of everything from this episode has stuck with me but here we are.

That's what's magical about the earlier episodes. This episode is a near perfect mix of character stuff and gag humor, and it's plot is given enough of both that everything just flows. Milhouse wasn't exactly the doofus he would become, but has seeds of being that dopey sidekick character without being tenth level ultra meta. We care about him, we want to see him succeed, and we genuinely hate Bart for trying to separate them, but also care that Bart has a reason for splitting them up. And writing the character off rather than having them disappear never to be seen again, or keeping them around as a background character was a brilliant move we've never seen since. Plus, I love that last little bit where she says the French Canadian Nuns are "nice, but they never let us oot."

My favorite part about the magic 8 ball is how the conflict between Milhouse and Bart is forewarned with it telling them they would no longer be friends and it ends with Bart smashing the ball across Milhouse’s face. There’s something almost poetic about it to me. Also the way how Homer’s B plot finally ties into the main plot always gets me when Bart turns to Lisa for help because he couldn’t understand what Homer was saying.

He lived across the courtyard so I went over to his apartment to see what's up. His little brother let me in and, as I walked to his bedroom, I saw him on his bed making out with a girl who would become his first girlfriend. I just slowly backed away quietly and walked out. He never saw me and I never brought it up later on. Definitely hurt at the time, but eventually I understood.

One thing that you really have to give the Homer B-plot in this episode: The scene of Lisa and Homer watching tv in the dark has some immaculate vibes. I remember as a kid in the late 90s the Canadian tv channel Teletoon used to air reruns of The Simpsons in the evening and created a bunch of ad spots for the show they'd air between programming. One of these was a version of the "Good Morning Burger" scene that had been edited to remove the background music, extend the footage of Homer and Lisa and insert audio from other in-show tv spots to to make this really chill, slightly surreal pastiche of Homer and Lisa quietly watching tv together in the dark. It just so perfectly captures the atmosphere of a dark room being lit by the light coming from a 90s-era tv screen and has always been a sort of exemplar of the sort of quiet, late-night tv vibes I've come to associate with the show.

To be perfectly honest, I don't think Samantha's dad was as out of line as the episode wanted us to think he was. She and Milhouse weren't just crushing on one another, they were making out like hormonal teenagers, complete with tongue-wrestling and swapping spit. Constantly! To the growing expense of everything else in their lives. And pretty much right after watching a sex education video. That kind of behavior would have been concerning for actual teens, but for children, it's damn disturbing. Maybe the issue is the writers forcing a story more fitting for teenagers onto children characters because they have no idea how the latter actually act (which has only gotten worse over time), but either way, parental intervention did need to be called in because it was getting out of hand. Which is probably why this episode doesn't sit well for me. It has plenty of good moments, but Milhouse and Samantha's relationship was just creepy.

We were tasked to find things that were signs of going through puberty, and I still remember the chalkboard gag "I will not snap bras" because that was specifically pointed out by the teacher. I think on some level, this episode is always going to be stuck with me, but I don't think I can dissociate its ties to that class.

Edna's "she's faking it" is still one of the most mystifying lines to me. Crazy enough they animated cartoon rabbit sex, did they actually animate Fluffy to look like she's faking? Was anyone supposed to see that? Was a teacher meant to point it out? Is it actually not there and is Edna just projecting her own experience? Did any of the students ask her off screen what she meant? And finally my last and biggest question. Usually one notes about the actual orgasm in terms of sex for enjoyment, i.e. casual sex. However it's assumed this was the sex that lead to having babies. I mean I guess it's possible it was both, but it almost read to me thinking about it that these babies were accidental.

This is kind of similar case to Brother From the Same Planet in how I don't think of this plot that often but you reminded me of how many all time great gags, jokes and random references the episode contains. The Indiana Jones opening might indeed be the best Simpsons opening ever. Probably the only major thing that's holding this episode back for me is that Milhouse and Samantha don't really have a particularly interesting chemistry with each other like Bart would later have with Laura Powers and Jessica Lovejoy. If you'd remove Bart from this story, the Milhouse-Samantha scenes would be rather boring since there wouldn't be much memorable dialogue or funny banter. They're sweet together in a generic way and that's it. Samantha works perfectly as a catalyst for the drama between Bart and Milhouse and is fleshed-out enough to feel like a proper person but I wouldn't rank her among the most memorable guest-star-voiced one-off characters.

For whatever reason, what sticks with me the most about this episode is when Samantha gets pulled away by her dad, and Bart just casually walks up to Milhouse expecting things to immediately go back to normal but is shocked by how devastated he is. To Bart, Samantha was just some dumb ol' girl, and couldn't really comprehend why Milhouse would be that invested in her (typical young boy thinking, I suppose). I do like that when Bart and Milhouse are fighting, Bart hist Milhouse with the Magic 8-Ball that predicted they wouldn't be friends anymore and it breaks, thereby "breaking" the spell it had over Milhouse's destiny or something. Of course, I also love that Bart grabbed the 8-Ball after reaching for several far more dangerous weapons, which is a funny gag. This episode has a lot of funny gags, now that I think about it. I also really love how Homer's subplot goes absolutely nowhere, how he immediately reverts to his dumb ol' self once he stops listening to the vocabulary tapes. Edit: Oh crap, this episode is where the five-fingered hand gag came from? I always forget where that joke originated.

Ok but think about what it feels like watching this episode as a girl and can’t relate to the POV you are being asked to look through. To be the “enemy” through the eyes of the character who is seen by the public (at least at this point) as the epitome of “cool” and “rebellious”. And to be told by grownups and the rest of the culture this is just the way boys are so you need to put up with it. And in the internet age with movements like MGTOW proving that no, boys don’t just naturally “grow out” of hating girls (which I am skeptical is a “natural phase” in the first place and not something they absorb from society) even after experiencing attraction to them without something kicking them in the butt, this episode is 1000x more uncomfortable. (I could go into a whole rant about Bart being the avatar of the Boomer writers’ childhood selves with all the normalized sexism that comes with it and how despite the other half of the time him being the “dirty kid” and having had like 15 girlfriends by now they still have him go back to the “cooties” crap every other episode, but that would make this too long for anyone to want to read so all I can say is pick a damn lane guys and not the one that makes me want to punch the TV). Uhh, TL;DR... I am not a fan of this one. Apart from the Fuzzy Bunny scene.
