The "couch gag" in Sunday's Simpsons episode featured Homer "evolving" from a single cell organism to his present form. The first truly brilliant gag on that show in many years.
Meanwhile, I bailed on "American Dad" long, long ago, but supposedly last night's episode riffed for an entire half hour on Jewish women, JDate, and Brandeis University. I had no idea they were in the habit of ripping off material directly from my best friend's brain.

Posted by Stephen Silver at March 26, 2007 05:45 PMExcept that the Simpsons thing was a combo of an earlier couch gag they had (the one that pulled back through DNA and cells and eventually turned out to be Homer's hair) and the awesome Guinness "rhythm of life" commercial. No new ideas in it at all, really.
Also, lilbucner isn't exactly the only person who has combined Jewish women, Brandeis (which they only mentioned once), and JDate. They are, after all, somewhat related (except for the blonde Brandeis-going bordering on Anti-Semitic Germanophile I dated for a couple weeks in early 2006 - how did SHE end up there?).
