While there, Lisa gets her very own “myPod.”

10 times more edgy (and 10X more truth) in 10 words than the entire “The Simpsons” clip.
I take myself, and my obsession with Apple, way too seriously to find this amusing.
It’s been a long time since “Eat up Martha”!
Before anyone gets too bent out of shape over the suggestion that Apple makes a lot of money off of its customers remember:
1) It’s a parody.
2) The Simpsons used to parody Microsoft, now it picks on Apple.
3) Nobody bothers to parody anything that isn’t relevant.
Any questions?
They’ve always had a thing for ripping on Apple. Lisa and her Newton, Homer with his beige G3 desktop.
This is pretty lengthy. They must have run out of shows to do.
How cool, that cartoon looks just like the guy that played steve jobs on mad tv when they did the “iRaq”. Great stuff.
I hope nobody takes it too hard, because that was pretty funny stuff. The Simpsons isn’t what it used to be, but it’s still waayyyy better than most network tv.
Simpsons stopped being funny 10 years ago… this is no different. Parody or stereotyping, however you wanna tag it, it’s just sad in it’s length and obscure references.
“I hope nobody takes it too hard, because that was pretty funny stuff. The Simpsons isn’t what it used to be, but it’s still waayyyy better than most network tv.” Maybe so, but that doesn’t mean it can’t still be rubbish, I don’t remember the last time I laughed at a new The Simpsons. These sort of references are obvious, lazy and have been done to death either by other people or by themselves in relation to other companies.
Ever notice how most liberal people can’t take getting ripped on? I think this show was great. I love my Mac(s) but won’t be part of the religious following crap. I think Steve Jobs is cool and most likely an huge ahole, Woz is cool and has turned out to be a 50 year old fat kid. Anyway, These guys changed the world in a positive way and showed us all that capitalism really is the best way to make change.
“MacDailyNews Take: How un-American.”
Yeah, a nice little Nazi Twist™, eh MDN?
I’m not much of a Simpson’s fan, but pretty funny.
Checks are for workers!
I think that was great! Very funny and packed with lots of Apple-isms.
“Think differently”.
The biggest inside joke.
Great satire!
Loved Bart speaking over the Steve Mobs speech.
(And does the real Steve Jobs have a lisp like the Steve Mobs character???)
M.X.N…., I laugh at The Simpsons every week.
Ripping people is just what these shows DO. Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, it’s all the same. I’m not saying it’s the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. It’s just something to loosen you up on a Sunday night before you start your week.
ZachCube, amen, I’m with you.
In my opinion, this is more satire than parody. It is not just making fun of Apple, it is also trying to expose seemingly blind, unflinching devotion of its followers and the rock-star arrogance of its leader, as well as its almost cult status of unattainable perfection.
It is still quite amusing. And let’s never forget: “There’s no such thing as bad publicity (as long as they spell your name correctly)”.
During the broadcast, there were at least two Apple ads that I caught — one for iPhone and one for Macbook, and Apple is a regular advertiser on The Simpsons. In that context, The Simpsons was, in essence, biting the hand that feeds it which, for my money, is what satire is all about. The show also took a pretty pointed swipe at “24” — another case of holding no cow sacred. Like all comedy, sometimes it’s funny and sometimes it’s not. There were parts that hit a little too close, but I loved the riff on the “1984” ad and there were some other inside tidbits for the geek crowd. But if advertising spending is any indication, Apple doesn’t seem to take it personally, so why should anybody else?
I love how Randiandian encompassed almost all following comments. Nicely done! 😀
It was a typical stereotype of what most PC users think Apple is and the way the customers are. All of it is NOT TRUE!
I hope that anyone who watched this episode has the brains to realize this. Other than that from what I saw of it, it was pretty entertaining.
Now! that is what I call a good joke!!!! Loved the itchy & scratchy show skit as well.
The robustness of a product lies in its durability under any scenario, I think & this is only my personal opinion that Apple came through pretty clean through that.
Will we see an underwater infinity loop HQ? or an underwater Apple store? who knows…..It is a nice thought to contemplate though!!!
The Simpsons is a classic example of not knowing when to leave the stage. It used to be the most hilarious show on TV, now it’s just going through the motions.
I would *love* it if the Simpsons did a funny take on Apple and Apple-users. Last nights “show” was not it. I feel embarrassed to even watch the new Simpsons shows lately, they are about as funny and relevant as “Hi and Lois.”
I haven’t watched the simpsons for quite a few years. When did it stop being funny?
-jcr
I actually thought it was just toooo late to be very funny. The Simpsons should have tackled this a few seasons ago. It just seemed dated.
@MDN: “Instead of a handout, Lisa gets a job. How un-American.”
What????? There is no logic there.
Lisa wanted a handout.
Mapple gave her a job.
If Mapple would have given Lisa a “handout” they would be American???
MDN -What companies in America offer handouts? Are Coca-Cola, IBM, Caterpillar, Boeing and other companies offering handouts to customer?
And do non (un-) American compaines offer handouts? I have yet to see any European or Asian companies offering handouts to any of their customers.
So, MDN, your “How un-American.” makes no sense, it is un-Smart.
To all you people saying the Simpsons are not funny anymore. Could it be you are all older and have a different sense of funnyness. In other words, you take things tooooo seriously now that you are adults?
Look back at the re-runs (or DVD) collections of cartoons you watched when you were age 6-10; I bet they are not funny to watch anymore either, but you used to spend hour after hour watching them when you were young.
And when Disney announced a new animation film, as a child you could hardly wait to go see it, as an adult you will not go see it unless you have to take a child.
Over-Familiarity plus changing age and lifestyle of the viewer impacts on viewer likeability of a TV show.
And thanks, MDN, for turning it political.
Instead of a handout, Lisa gets a job. How un-American.
Someone missed the entire premise of this episode, which was Satire.
If you’re not blinded by right-wing ideology, it’s pretty clear.
And to make it absolutely clear to Madein:
MDN take (How un-American) was an attempt at sarcasm, slightly coloured by right-wing conservativism.
I thought it contained some pretty funny stuff. It made for a good Monday morning laugh.
Now, back to my un-American job that uses programmers outsourced from India to do work at 1/3 the price of Indian programmers here in this country.
Someone needs to unclench their arse cheeks and relax!!!
This episode was essentially a 30-minute Apple infomercial. Right in the middle were even a couple of real Apple commercials. Regardless of whether it was funny or not, or satire or parody, it was free publicity for Apple. And that is always a good thing for any company.
I kept wondering though why the gave Steve a lisp. And why they didn’t get the real Steve for the part. I wonder if they even asked him.
I recently re-watched the first seven seasons of the Simpsons and they were indeed much funnier (in my opinion), with more character/relationship humor and less satire and outlandish plots. Could be different taste but it’s certainly not as hugely popular as it once was.
Still, nice to have Apple reach this level of public consciousness.
Right Wing, Left Wing- both bad! Both are extremes- but most people live a conserative life- never spending more than they can pay. When a person spends too much in a “liberial” spending spree they go bankrupt. A person too “conservative” banks a lot of money but does nothing but save. So most say within their budget with a conservative/liberal balance.
Balance is obtained with competeing forces as does the market.
@ Cartoon Philosopher
Well said!
If this episode is an example, The Simpsons has yet to “jump the shark”. I loved how, after “Mobs” was set to announce news that will “completely change the way you look at everything” the faithful took out their cash! All in good fun.
OK, maybe it’s not the “insanely great” humor of earlier seasons, but it’s still pretty good. Still The SImpsons take on “The Raven” in an early Halloween Special, or the one where Marge plays in “Streetcar” with the sub-plot parody of “The Great Escape” with Maggie as “prisoner” are hard acts to follow.
This show works on so many levels, I don’t have time to comment on all.
A big parallel I see is Lisa and our present economic problems.
Someone is given something they didn’t earn. They abuse it. They get in trouble. They ask for a bailout, and resent the solution.
The Simpson’s may have a stinker episode from time to time, but it’s the best thing going on Sunday night.
If this had been tried on Family Guy, it would have been nothing more than Peter playing with the new Fart app on his phone while a couple of iShag computers copulated in the background.
MacFarlane must have had something on FOX to get them to keep pushing his crap until they found enough teenage boys to watch it. No multilevel messages here. Just sophomoric or smutty one liners.
I love my iPhone, iPod, MacBook Pro, and Apple, but this was hilarious. It’s an honor to be spoofed by The Simpsons. This was tame compared to what South Park would do to them.
Definite elements of truth in this cut, I was in effect
laughing at myself watching this.
Just imagine if South Park ripped on Apple.
I liked the clip, and it was apparent the writers know their Apple. The thing that I didn’t get was the song that came on when Bart asked the Cube for help against the earbud flaying mobs. What about the Jobs under the ocean though? I know, Gates took a bunch a of journalists on a submarine trip in Poland to experience “A world without Windows” for the launch of Windows 95. Big gala event that was, worth billions of dollars in sales since and a decade of false hype. Who says Apple is the lord of the hype machine? It’s only hype when you don’t deliver in my book.
But I agree with one of the previous comments regarding the Simpsons. I agree that the show has stopped being funny a long, long time ago. I think he mentioned 10 years, but I’d go back to season 3 (1990 was it?) and end the series right there. After that, they became the joke they were making fun of. My favourite animated (or otherwise as well) show remains The King of the Hill. Very, very subtle. Mike Judge is so underrated and under appreciated still. King of the hill indeed.
This episode was hilariously dead on – and remember it was probably scripted 16 months ago. Most people on this blog stopped being funny 10 seasons ago. “That light confirms that it’s off.” Classic.
@MDN: “Instead of a handout, Lisa gets a job. How un-American.”
Sometimes there’s a clash between MDN’s love of all that’s Apple and its love of all that’s conservative.
I have found that in the past I dont agree with the simpson’s underlying message.. this just reenforces the fact that my stance on most things are not that with the simpsons..
Burn windows burn
Einstein, Time Machine. But Studio 54??
And yes, dropping references does not make a show universally funny. Just like familiarity doesn’t make great music, as many suspect is the case with quite a few Beatles’ tunes. A few of the voice actors in Simpson never clicked with me from day one, most notably Bart Simpson’s. Having a middle aged female do a teen aged boy and his ‘angst’ somehow does not ring authentic to me. Same way I feel about Conan O’Brien and his blend of over-used self decimating humour which he used in the Simpsons as well. Letterman brought acerbity in his self loathing if not contempt, Conan’s is just trying and therefore less than authentic, in my view. Anyway, it was a spin-off that have made a lot of people wealthy, including Mr. Murdoch whom it has made fun of on numerous occasions. I suspect, it’s the economics mostly that keeps the series floating the air-waves rather than any thirst for real creativity. Something I associate with many things Apple from day one.
“Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful… that’s what matters to me.” ~ Jobs.
Since when does getting a job instead of a handout make one “conservative?”
Strong identification with “conservative” or “liberal” (whatever those terms happen to mean) is a trap.
This was hysterical, you folks really need to stop taking yourselves so seriously! I’m a huge Apple fanatic, but c’mon, this stuff was right on. So funny. Light confirms that it’s off. Great line.
Good stuff, shame they couldn’t get the real Steve to do the voiceover.
@ those who think the Simpsons is still funny …
– Apple headquarters is under the ocean? Why? (and why is this “funny”?)
– Calling modern design “sterile”? (welcome to the 1960’s everyone!)
– “That light confirms that it’s off.” (the opposite of an Apple design) This is funny because it’s the *reverse* of what Apple does?
The main point of the segment (humour-wise), seems to be Barts “rant” which is full of so many re-cycled “truisms” about Apple (Apple users are gay, Apple is ripping you off, etc.).
There is a running joke in the Simpsons that goes through many many episodes. It’s about Mad Magazine and how they lost their way in terms of satire. This is exactly where the Simpsons finds themselves today. Tired gain-saying of new trends, and stolen jokes from the mainstream re-cycled as their own.
One last sad point… complete continuity error when Bart plugs in his handheld microphone. Shabby and shameless, that’s what the Simpsons are today.
Steve Mobs about to make an announcement, then the lemmings pull their cash out before hearing what he has to say…..priceless and right on the money…hahahahaha!!!
Absolutely brilliant.
Apple should pay attention to the sarcasm in this episode. The “holier-than-thou, we are God’s gift to you all” attitude is more than just a bit stale.
No longer is it cool to purchase Apple products. It has become cool to be an Apple critic.
The level of pretentiousness coming from Apple and Apple fans hit a crescendo with the introduction of the iPhone.
Apple needs to come back down to Earth. The press conferences just to introduce a product need to stop. Hold a press conference if you cure heart disease, or cancer, or AIDS. We don’t need a press conference to let us know that iPods come in different colors. We don’t need press conferences for new products at all quite frankly. Such behavior is at best unwarranted. In the end, the Macintosh is just a computer. The iPhone is just a phone.
Jobs and his cadre of followers such as Jonathan Ives have become caricatures of themselves. Their own perception of themselves as being “uber cool” comes out in their wholly affected public appearances and statements.
Apple once screwed up by resting on their laurels and allowing the Macintosh OS to languish for years before doing anything about what became a bloated morass of undecipherable code.
Now they are in danger of turning people off with their arrogance and pompousness. Apple has become the brand for the “Chads” and “Brittneys” of the world.
Time to rethink differently.
Good Job Simpsons.
eurotrash!
Spot on freind, the whole “liberal vs conservative” mantra is a false paradigm used to control people’s thinking here in the USA It is a false frame of reference that blocks seeing things for what they really are, which is exactly what elite control freaks obviously need to do.
This Simpsons clip was great referential humor, however if I knew nothing of Apple, this would have been meaingless and not funny. Referential humor is weak for that reason, ya gotta know what they are talking about.
@Jeremy
Not seeing the humor in that episode of the Simpsons is a bit like looking in the mirror and not seeing your own reflection.
I found the sarcasm thoroughly entertaining. In fact, the horde of people spinning their earbuds to attack Bart reminded me a great deal of the folks who comment on this website.
In order to see humor, you have to be able to recognize reality.
I’m surprised no one mentioned how Homer’s Muslim neighbour had a Mac laptop with a ’90s-era startup chime and Classic MacOS interface!
A whole secondary subplot to the show was Lisa’s new Mypod (and the fact that Mapple let her buy $1,200 worth of songs on credit)…
Loved the “Mytunes exclusive” Itchy and Scratchy (which was quite long)!
@ Thelonius… I agree.
Mac_fanboys have become too identified with Apple’s propaganda and rehtoric. They become personally offended by the slightest critism of Apple.
This episode was brilliant! I hope it wakes people up and allows them to become more concious and aware of their unconcious devolution to this capiltalist company. Apple makes inovative and excellent products, but is still just a capitalistic company like any other.
Wake Up! Regain Conciousness! These are just devices not the second comming of Christ!
Am I the only one that caught MDN’s parody reference to the rash of corporate bailouts with the statement; “Lisa get’s a job instead of a handout, How un-American”. sheesh people lighten up.
Pure slapstick. Remember when their use to be wit behind the Simpson’s humor?
@theloniousMac and Mac_Atty etc.
Let me understand this, you are angry at people for having an opinion which happens to admire a company? Calling them Mac_fanboys (sic) etc. makes you feel important and righteous (thank the Lord that be that you are not the Brittneys or the Chads as you are evidently better than them). You are prowling the MacDailyNews site to spread your wisdom and the anti-Apple pearls?
One of you sanctimoniously preached for Apple to not hold any further ‘press conferences’ until they find a cure for cancer, heat disease or AIDS. The obvious flaws in that logic is not even worth exploring, and most readers here will just roll their eyes by their ‘merit’ alone.
I’ll offer this instead: the fact is, computer revolution is an actual revolution of a historical and global significance. Shifting myriad of cultural, social, industrial, scientific and economical status-quos and nous to their next great evolutionary step. A far reaching giant global footprint, the same way printing press was, or was the steam engine etc. except this revolution faster, more encompassing and farther reaching. Internet is also a part of this global revolution, a major part, allowing you critics even to share your ‘pearls of disappointments’ with all things Apple. The real sad part is, you even failed to realise that your AIDS etc. researches today are justifiably conducted on computers and machines ushered in to the mainstream populace by people like Steve Jobs et al. Regardless how you feel about him personally, his place in the computer revolution is undeniable. Of many, many things that he has offered to put a dent in the universe that we find ourselves in, he brought the notion PC to the common folks. Most everyone and everything today driving their computers to the next revolution, owes a small bit of thank you to him (amongst countless others) in the same vain creating that dent for him.
You need to go back and investigate why Xerox PARC couldn’t commercially produce their revolutionary product while researching it into semi-existence since the late 60s sitting atop those beanie balls too, and why it took a visionary like Steve Jobs to steer it to the real engineering standard. And the Mac team had to not only reverse engineer a lot, but also had to add many layers of complex, pioneering and practical bits that were not in the original PARC’s demo (a lot of it were still unusable in operational level in those demos) that we take for granted today. Like, windows overlapping windows as one of hundreds of instances etc.
“Real artists ship” ~ Steve Jobs.
You also mentioned, it is no longer cool to buy Apple products instead now it is cool to criticise them. Is that what you are doing then? Trying to be cool? (Good thing, Thelonious Monk didn’t follow that logic and offered us vanity.) Seriously, where have you been, since, oh, last couple of decades? When was it not the mainstream cool to bash anything Apple? Name the year(s), I want to look up the golden era when the unanimous Apple admirers were grazing about, acting cool and stuff and were celebrated like the studio 54 crowd entrants; I appeared to have missed those years somehow.
Simpson is an ongoing attempt to a cultural identity and relevancy. Apple is; and so much more. Next time I’d encourage you to use the word ‘brilliant’ judiciously. Next time, when a doctor may prescribe correctly (following your failed bit of wisdom here), using a program like Epocrates or countless others on his iPhone (or phones inspired by it and made available to the masses while offering similar access to life saving and relevant apps) and saves a life miles away from his computer in his clinic, you may then perhaps go ahead and use the term ‘brilliant’ there more aptly. Just as an example. My personal standards aren’t as high as yours. Just playing Sudoku on my iPhone late at night in my bed, cheer me up plenty.
I’m easy like that.
Great sketch! Should have thrown in a parody of Fake Steve too!
Satire perhaps, but it will reinforce the beliefs of those who think Apple is about style over substance. Of course, these are most likely people who’ve never used an Apple product.
I thought it was hilarious and I love Apple products. The light on the cube and Lisa looking at the fake white earbuds but more so the fact that they actually had such a thing. The Disney Word parody is still our favorite Simpson’s episode however this one was pretty amusing.
That is awesome. It’s obvious that the Simpsons’ writing staff knows their Apple history. They are Apple fans, poking fun at Apple, not Apple critics. A “critic” wouldn’t know about the history behind 90% of those jokes.
Instead of a handout, Lisa gets a job.
Lisa Jobs?
Anyway, for the un-American part, I’m not sure which side of the plate MDN is swinging from. Some clarification, please.
This site’s Leftward angle is well established, and handouts are a pillar of the Left. People who are foolish enough to commit actual work aren’t part of the program, and they need to be penalized (i.e. taxed). Unless of course they’re farmers or union members, then the government programs and guaranteed pension plans make up for it.

@Cartoon Philosopher-
I still find Looney Tunes extremely hilarious, especially now that I’m older and “take things toooo seriously.”
The Simpsons, however, are not funny anymore.
@krquet- your entire wordy post should have just summed up the point of those posters’ rants:
Jealousy.
“There’s now a shorter, Hulu-sponsored YouTube link..
I assume Hulu (U.S. only) has the full episode…oh well, torrents for everyone else!”
That’s all true. No UK access from Hula, whatever that is. Torrents to the rescue however.
Wow, that’s savage! I’m seriously schizo about whether it’s funny or not though…
In this household, we’ve long grown tired of endless old Simpsons re-runs and tranferred our affections to the magnificent Family Guy- doubtlessly also old re-runs specially packaged for the UK but mostly new to us and hilarious. The episode where Brits take over the Clam had me weeping….
Consquently, it was interesting to see a brand new Simpsons show. Are they past their sell-by date?
People who do not use Macs do not understand that it is very hard to use a Mac without becoming a fanboy, and sometimes the fanboys are the only thing standing between a potential customer and a Mac. This parody made fun of the Apple culture, brought Apple down to earth, and therefore functioned as a commercial. I’m sure Apple was very pleased with it, and I’m sure that is why there were so many Apple commercials with that episode.
Whether or not “The Simpsons” has jumped the shark or is still funny is beside the point. The show has an audience, that is all that matters for an ad.
That said, I’ve noticed that Apple has somehow found the secret of making products that evoke love. It’s a good thing they don’t make sex toys, or we’d be extinct in one generation.
@ugh – Looney Tunes cartoons are totally different humor than the Simpsons.
Looney Tunes was slapstick mayhem. Sight gags.
The Simpsons is mostly satire.
A totally different type of humor and cartoons.
(And remember most Looney Tunes cartoons were filler cartoons shown before the main feature at the movie. They ran from 1933 to about 1944. It had a different purpose than the Simpsons. You could not run Looney Tunes-type cartoons in the same TV time slot as the Simpsons – it would not last a season.)
It takes more than a visual gag (the backbone of Looney Tunes cartoons) in the Simpsons to make the humor.
For example, If someone who had no idea about Apple computer, Steve Jobs, the cult following of Apple had watched this “Mapple” epsiode of the Simpsons it would be beyond un-funny.
You either get the jokes (and references) in the Simpsons or you don’t.
And, tha…tha….that’s all, Folks!
@krquet
This goes beyond just admiring Apple. Apple deserves a great deal of admiration. What is going on here though is pure, unadulterated, worship. The label “fanboy” has never been better applied than it is here.
I reject your assertion that I am sanctimonious. I am simply pointing out what I see. The sarcasm in the Simpsons episode is spot on, and Apple is guilty of the sin of believing their own BS.
If anything the sanctimony comes from those here and elsewhere that seem to believe that Apple can do no wrong.
Whoa there, guy.
I don’t know where you get your info, but who told you Apple can do no wrong? I think you have the wrong perception.
Most people’s posts that I’ve read here and other sites are Mac users that reserve judgement and can be very critical of the “Mothership”. Just because we’re Mac users, doesn’t mean we think Apple can do no wrong. In some cases, we are most critical of Apple because we see potential in the leadership of the company, where Apple has been, and how technology will shape what lies ahead.
By the way, shareholders are typically a company’s biggest critics, in good times and bad.
@theloniousMac
Seriously, it seems talking to you is talking to a child who has his mind made up regardless of being exposed to logical flaws. Worse part is, you seem to accuse others of that, and call them names whenever it suits you. You can reject/deny all you want, you words betray you and you are exposed when you preached earlier in this very thread:
“Apple needs to come back down to Earth.” – fallacy of presupposition, sanctimonious.
“The press conferences just to introduce a product need to stop.” – sanctimonious. Flaws in merit. Not to mention, it’s not a press conference. Oh the power of ignorance!
“Jobs and his cadre of followers such as Jonathan Ives have become caricatures of themselves.” – Sanctimonious, judgmental, devoid of logic both in structure and historical merit as Apple has become a successful brand under the current leadership. Ives work for his company and his boss, calling him cadre of followers only exposes you as an, well, ignorant at best.
“Apple has become the brand for the “Chads” and “Brittneys” of the world.” Sanctimonious, childish name calling, and feeling holier than thou, grandiloquent, not to mention void of logic in the same vain as above. Countless links can be provided where iPhone is more than a vanity tool. Seriously, just go to the Apps store and check out the section under education for an afternoon scroll.
“Apple is guilty of the sin of believing their own BS. ” – sin, guilty – not sanctimonious? You don’t bring any facts to your tirades, just conjecture based on your own dislike for people who like Apple. You don’t even know ‘fanboi’ as is generally called.
I can go on, but it appears you’re not the type to comprehend fallacy 101 in your logic (or lack thereof), even if you ever actually took a college course on philosophy. Just pure garbage, this. Like an earlier poster had suggested, I should have just stated ‘Jealous much’ and moved on from your garbage posts.
Finally, I think you clearly misread the sarcasm and wit on that episode of Simpsons, and mistook it as a bash against Apple, while many here have shown it to be a very probable tongue-in cheek admiration. It is with people like you in mind that Zune Tang spells Iphone and MAC, but I guess you’d miss that as well.
Anyway, you sir, meanwhile, have just been publicly ridiculed, in case you missed that point as well. And I’m not feeling good about it myself, albeit you brought it upon yourself, I fear.
Oh well, I’m moving on from your level.
@ krquet
Your post was sarcastic, right? You weren’t serious were you?
I agree with above. You have really got to get your sense of humours back you need to relax and enjoy yourself stop worrying about having to be what your society expects you to be. Oh and it wasn’t dated it was very funny I enjoyed it and every episode. You are the one that appears dated. It’s only entertainment
