The Tell-Tale Pants was an amazing episode. First of all, there was a couch gag!!! Thank goodness!!! There hasn't been a couch gag ever since the Thanksgiving episode, It's a Blunderful Life, which is the best episode of the season so far, and I am soooo happy that there's a couch gag after a lot of these episodes. The couch gag was quick and was much less creative and pretty then a lot of the other couch gag in the modern age ( S20-S32 ), but since there hasn't been many couch gags this season at all, I was really happy for this couch gag to be in the beginning of the episode, even if it was short. Actually, this whole season has had only 2 couch gag, and so far, there has been 16 episodes and this season is (sadly) almost over. At first it was pretty clear, or at least to me, why they didn't make any couch gags. In the first few, say, 11 episodes, I thought the creators of the episodes needed more time with the episode and not the couch gag. The reason I thought so was because there was extra bits of the episode in the credits, which to me meant that the creators of the episode needed more time for ths episode. At the 12th episode and beyond thought, this wasn't true. In those episode, like the ones before ( expect for It's a Blunderful Life and of course this episode ), there was no couch gag, but at the end of those episodes, there wasn't any scenes in the credits. When I saw there was no scenes in the credits, I was confused. The creators could have easily added a couch gag right at the beginning of the episode and then stuffed a chunk of the episode in the credits. Now though, I have a different theory. Maybe the creators of the last 3 episodes before this one wanted to have more time to develop a good story and funny joke then to have use up some of that time with making the couch gag. That's just a theory though, so that might not be true.
Okay now I need to start talking about the episode so that this review isn't only about why there are barely any couch gags in this season. Even though I would rate this episode around an 8 out of 10 ( my full rating at the end of the review ), I really don't like when Homer and Marge argue. I just don't find it entertaining and I really wish that Homer and Marge were just happy with each other. For the Nickelodeon Pilot project that I am working on with my dad I watched the pilot ( well, really the second episode because the first episode wasn't on Paramount+) of about the best reviewed Nick show of 2002, Jimmy Neotron, and while I found it okay, I really loved how much Jimmy's parents loved each other so much. I really wish Homer and Marge could love each other as much as Jimmy's parents did. It's just a pain in the butt to see Homer and Marge argue these days. I know the next episode is about Homer, so I hope that in that episode Marge supports Homer or Homer support Marge. Earlier in even this season we see Marge and Homer loving each other, but ever since episode 8 of this season Marge and Home's relationship has just been right back where it started. Practically dead.
Okay now more about the actual episode. I found this episode pretty funny really. Really almost every episode in this season has been absolutely hilarious. It featured a lot of pretty funny scenes, and it also featured a funny musical number too. I know, you probably hate simpsons musical numbers, but it was a parody musical number. A PARODY musical number. Okay fine I know your still complaining but for some reason I still liked it. Anyway I really liked when Homer started wearing sweatpants. Oh come on I'm not spoiling anything. It's literally in the picture for the episode. It felt like Homer was just happier wearing sweatpants . He just felt more cheerful and joyful. I really hope Homer wears sweatpants in the next episode to because maybe more sweatpants comes more couch gags. I mean, he sang a whole musical number about it. Yes there was another musical number, and I liked it.
In this episode the guilt that Marge feels feels really human. Many people do feel like that when the hide a secret or tell a lie. I just find that that makes Marge develop her character even further after, yes, 35 seasons.
In all, I give this episode a 7.8 out of 10.
