The Simpsons’s “Iron Marge” Showcases a Surprisingly Sincere Performance

So far, Season 35 of The Simpsons has been filled with solid airings. The documentary parody of Season 35, Episode 4, “Thirst Trap: A Corporate Love Story” and the witty social commentary in Season 35, Episode 3, “McMansion & Wife” showcased The Simpsons’ strengths in delivering satirical depictions of American life through its compelling story arc and familiar characters.Season 35, Episode 6, “Iron Marge,” however, shocked audiences by how unexpectedly heartwarming the episode was. Marge Simpson’s plight, coupled with Lisa Simpson and Bart Simpson’s remorse, made for a poignant commentary on motherhood that struck a chord of universal compassion and nostalgia in audiences. Its simplicity in plot and message strikes deep without being overly didactic and shows why The Simpsons is seated squarely as the all-American animated sitcom.However, the robe is not to come. When Lisa and Bart make a whopping 40 dollars after picking up two leaves for Ned Flanders, they decide to buy a spy kit for themselves instead of a gift for their mother as they had originally planned. The setup for this decision is key. The fact that such little effort was put in on the part of Lisa and Bart to acquire the money makes it so that they have very little defense for buying a spy kit instead. Moreover, the fact that Ned is such an easy target for a quick shakedown of funds really makes the audience wonder why Lisa and Bart never thought sooner to put more effort into Marge’s birthday celebration — especially as they are getting older. The audience’s heart is racing as Lisa takes the pink robe off the rack and carries it in her arms, yet is altogether unphased (though heartbroken) at the change of plans when the spy kit tempts the children into making a quick switcheroo at the cashier’s counter.
