      Rushed

      The Treehouse of Horror XXI episode presents an array of stories with a mix of good and nonsensical jokes. However, one aspect that stands out is the feeling of haste throughout the episode, leaving little time to fully appreciate the good ideas presented. Lisa's attitude upon meeting the vampire is a clear example of it; I have never seen such a foolish infatuation develop so quickly in my life.

      While there are certainly some standout comedic moments, the pacing of the episode leaves much to be desired. It seems as though the writers were trying to cram too many ideas into a limited timeframe, resulting in a rushed execution. The rapid-fire delivery of jokes may elicit a few laughs, but it also leaves little room for the humor to fully land and resonate with the audience.

      Furthermore, the episode suffers from a lack of cohesion. Some jokes and storylines feel disconnected and fail to contribute to an overall narrative. While a certain level of randomness is expected in a Treehouse of Horror episode, it's important to strike a balance between absurdity and coherence.

      In conclusion, while Treehouse of Horror XXI has its share of good jokes and interesting ideas, its overall execution feels hurried and lacks the opportunity to fully enjoy and appreciate those moments. A more balanced approach to storytelling and pacing would have allowed for a more satisfying viewing experience.

      Cool one from the Simpsons

      The intro starts off with a reference to the 2005 show The Office, the first segment we have is War And Pieces which is a reference to Jumanji after Bart and Milhouse play a board game, the second segment was Master And Cadaver Marge and Homer spent their vacation on a boat after mysterious person arrives and last but not least Tweenlight which is a common reference to The 2008 movie Twilight after Lisa falls in love with a vampire and in the credits i hear the wilhelm scream during the ending and it was awesome.

        In "Tweenlight", when the families are done eating, there is still half of Flanders' body left. Homer asks a couple of questions and when we see the table again a couple of seconds later, the whole body is gone.
