[the Simpsons are watching 'Yakkin' About Movies' a film review show hosted by a duo of film critics, one bald, the other fat and bespectacled]
Bald Critic : Our next movie is 'McBain', another shoot-em-up, push-em-through-the-plate-glass-window splatterfest from the Hollywood cookie cutter. Here's a typically brainless scene.
[an excerpt from 'McBain' plays]
Police Captain : Senator Mendoza is one of the most respected citizens in this state, McBain. And yet, you ran his limo off a cliff, broke the necks of three of his bodyguards and drove a bus through his front door?
McBain : [thick Germanic accent] But Captain, I have proof that he's head of an international drug cartel!
Police Captain : I don't want to hear about it, McBain! You're outta here!
[the gigantic, musclebound McBain turns, then punches the captain with a huge fist, sending flying him through the window and falling multiple storeys into a fountain below]
McBain : That makes two of us.

Fat Critic : You know, I can't believe we're talking about the same movie.
Bald Critic : Oh, no...
Fat Critic : I thought McBain was a non-stop rollercoaster of chills, thrills, spills, and kills! And that chase at the end, my friend?
[makes a kiss noise as if describing some delicious food]
Fat Critic : Mwah!
Bald Critic : Are you nuts? That movie stinks like your creepy one bedroom apartment!
Fat Critic : Your mother didn't think it was so creepy!
Bald Critic : "My mother"! Real mature! I'm sick of your grade school insults...
Homer : [watching them on TV, laughing] I love watching the bald guy argue with the fat tub of lard.
