"Lisa the Veterinarian" is an episode that, despite its slow start, manages to deliver around five excellent jokes, unfortunately, only in the last minute. The plot initially unfolds at a rather leisurely pace, focusing on Lisa's journey to become a veterinarian. While the narrative builds up, the humor is somewhat artificial, and viewers may find themselves waiting for the comedic payoff. The secondary storyline where Marge takes the lead is not more interesting; it's equally artificial.
In general, the episode mostly relies on the characteristic artificial humor of the show in its modern era, rather than the valuable spontaneity of the golden age of the series.
For instance, the veterinarian character is artificial, and what he says does not align with the reality of the viewer's fictional Simpsons universe. This didn't happen in the golden age of the show, where the logic of the fictional world of The Simpsons matched the logic of the viewer's world.
Later on, Ralph's lines no longer feel spontaneous; they seem artificial and unbelievable, which doesn't amuse me, as well as in other cases. However, as I mentioned, in the last minute, I burst into laughter with around five jokes or so.
