Make this country great again

This is a direct quote from the episode: "Make this country great again" - Ralph Wiggum

Shudder..

I have watched this episode before but it didn't feel as relevant as it does today.

I dont Care about politics

The episode was not very good, some good Line but After the minute 6-7 it went full political boring. Unfortunately politic is useless in our World, The people cannot truly decide everything and everything is just a mirage.

Yet people still think they can change something by voting. One day hopefully we all realise we cant, and we'll change the system.

Starts Out With Less Than What It Ends With

This must be one of the few opened-ended episodes of The Simpsons. And I must admit I started out thinking it was going to be another piece of trash handed out by the writers, but what I got what a completely oblivious view of the election race. Unlike previous episodes they didn't have the top candidates next to Ralph running. They were only mentioned in playful passing. I do have to admit I really liked the Fred Thompson joke about him being in Die Hard 2. But this episode is really good at showing what people who don't care about politics can really do to harm the process.

This wasn't a straight forward episode but a very good parody on politics. Good job writers for doing it yet again this season!

Nice

Episode of political satire that does exactly what it has to do entertaining and entertaining like little else, nice episode where the population self-decides the candidate without even thinking that he is a child who is then pressed by everyone, the ending is pretty.

Good idea, poorly executed.

Some sound political commentary, but very wishy washy, and ultimately not funny. Jon Stewart cameo is not really effectively used. Fourteen minutes into the episode, with 7 minutes left, Ralph Wiggum makes his first appearance (in photo and name only), despite the episode's namesake. They could've gone further into why political parties choose their candidate, Ralph has maybe two or three lines of dialogue?

This Episode Isn't About Ralph At All

[e_daneva · 4/10 · 20 December 2023]

E Pluribus Wiggum is a terrible episode. I have watched 10 other Season 19 episodes, 4 bad, 3 okay, 1 good, and 3 really good. This episode falls into the bad category. E Pluribus Wiggum is not a Ralph episode at all. I mean, at around the 17th minute of the episode Ralph comes on screen. Yes, isn't this supposed to be an episode where Ralph becomes president? Well, no. E Pluribus Wig gum only has Ralph on screen for about 7 minutes, that's right, 7 minutes. I thought this episode was going to be about Ralph, but instead it just turned into a stupid political episode. I was excited to see Ralph as president, so when I watched this I was really sad to not see Ralph as president. Does Ralph have to not be president in the episode? Really? Well, I guess yes is the answer. This is the worst episode in the season so far, but a very despised episode is next, That 90's Show. In all, I give this disappointing episode a 3.8 out of 10.

A s19 dud

With elements of the film 'Being There' about it, this episode sees Ralph Wiggum enter into politics.

This for me wasn't a great episode, relying too much on political humour to get it over the line.

Everyone has their favourite 'sort' of 'Simpsons' episode, and this wasn't mine.
