        Great Fun, Witty and Clever,

        The Old Blue Mayor She Ain't What She Used To Be is a terrific Simpsons episode with a very well written plot and a ton of chuckle worthy moments. Marge running for mayor was a great plot that I am actually surprised the show had not done before. Putting her up against Mayor Quimby was a delight that lead to plenty of very enjoyable moments. I liked the unexpected turn of having her make fun of Homer in order to win people's support, and how she managed to achieve this as a result of the naivety of Springfieldians.

        I also thoroughly enjoyed the side story of Mayor Quimby enjoying a life of retirement, it was very humourus and also nice to see him get his own little story, as he is a character who is rarely given anything more than a scene or two used merely for gags.

        Funny and consistently enjoyable. A clever, satisfying twenty minutes, The Old Blue Mayor She Ain't What She Used To Be is a solid Simpsons episode.

        Marge runs for mayor and uses jokes aimed at Homer's expense to gain support.

        Great Episode

        Marge running for mayor against Quincy was something even I couldn't have predicted. The plot was decent, the jokes were very humorous, including the help me Jesus and blubber scenes, and it is another example of the strong relationship between homer and marge.

        • Trivia
          Marge's campaign slogan "I'm with Hair" is a reference to Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign slogan "I'm with Her".
        • Goofs
          Marge, campaigning for the "Yokel Objectivist" vote, tells Cletus that she objects to darn revenuers. Cletus, holding a copy of "The Fountainhead" (by Ayn Rand, who created the philosophy she called Objectivism) says that Marge is like John Galt. John Galt is a character in "Atlas Shrugged", a different book also by Ayn Rand. Maybe Cletus didn't have a copy of "Atlas Shrugged" handy; the corresponding character in "The Fountainhead" would be Howard Roark.
