The Simpsons (TV Series) Haw-Haw Land (2018) User Reviews

Fun, but Had a Greater Potential,

[lesleyharris30 · 7/10 · 11 November 2018]

Haw-Haw Land is a good Simpsons episode with a well written plot and plenty of very funny moments. I definitely enjoyed Lisa's bond with Brendan and the crontrasting conflict between her and Nelson. The side story was also quite fun, seeing Bart getting in to chemistry created some chuckle worthy moments.

I did, however, find that the episode was a bit misleading. Featuring Ed Sheeran as the voice of Brendan and having the name be a parody of La La Land, I was anticipating the episode to be a full blown musical or to at least feature a few new songs, but it instead is quite a by the numbers Simpsons, it could have done something so much more interesting.

I thought Ed Sheeran did a great job as Brendan and quite like the quality he generally has as an actor, he fitted in to the universe of Springfield seamlessly.

Fun episode. Certainly not amazing, but Haw-Haw Land is a solid Simpsons.

Nelson gets jealous when Lisa falls for jazz pianist Brendan. Meanwhile, Bart finds out he has a gift for chemistry.

Great episode, wish Ed Sheeran was in it more

Good episode on how Nelson does care about Lisa, getting jealous when a new boy is seen (voiced by Ed Sheeran) wooing her with his singing.

However, he isn't seen much, because of other things going on in the episode. I mostly focus on his character as well as Nelson. Not a bad episode

Relatively Excellent

First, a caveat: I havent watched The Simpsons in over 20 years. That being said, the show hasnt changed at all & this episode is a fine example. Rapid fire dialogue that's very witty & so much stuff going on in the background, you have to watch it with a pause button. All the characters are here in one episode with all the same (rather) crude animation. Thank God they havent gone digital. If this episode seems tired then lay off the show for a few decades, then come back for a newly found appreciation.

Wise Words from Turanga Leela

As Turanga Leela once said, in the Futurama episode Put Your Head On My Shoulders, "You'll be back to zero soon enough". That statement applies to Lisa Simpson in the Simpsons episode Haw-Haw Land, with how Brendan Beiderbecke and Nelson Muntz were fighting each other over Lisa. This situation could only end in Lisa having no boyfriend in the end.
