GI (Annoyed Grunt) is a great Simpsons episode with a well written plot and plenty of very funny scenes. It is an enjoyable, somewhat chaotic episode as we follow Marge getting Springfield in to some strange trouble while trying to get Homer out of the army. A ton of chaos ensues, including a sequence I particularly loved that was a nod to Looney Tunes that was very well put together.
I did feel that it could have used a side story to hold it together a bit more, it was not really strong enough to hold the whole twenty minutes on its own, I felt like giving Bart or Lisa something else to do would have added to it more.
The highlight has to be Kiefer Sutherland, who delivers a fantastic General accent that makes his unrecognizable. He has plenty of very funny quotes throughout and a great character was created here that I would love to see again some time.
The writers clearly had fun writing this episode, which makes us have fun watching it. GI (Annoyed Grunt) may not be a highlight of the eighteenth season, but it is still a very enjoyable Simpsons.
Homer accidentally gets signed up for basic training in the army, but Marge gets roped in after trying to get him released.
