    • 2012 May 20, Nathan Rabin, “TV: Review: THE SIMPSONS (CLASSIC): “Marge Gets A Job” (season 4, episode 7; originally aired 11/05/1992)”, in The Onion AV Club:

It’s head-spinningly smart in a way that doesn’t call attention to itself—like setting the retirement party at The Spruce Caboose, a giant, unwieldy, trainwreck-themed eatery whose name and conceit are brilliant parodies of Howard Hughes’ giant wooden airplane, the Spruce Goose.

      Things get headspinningly trippy when she makes it to the moon, where the goddess Chang’e turns out to be real and spends her time belting out disco-pop bangers in the style of Katy Perry to a stadium audience of glowing, bubblegum-coloured blobs.
