"There's something strange about that sop sign"
Me, I was weaned on 80s comedies, and though my (and everyone's) interest in them waned in, I dunno, the late 80s, they still hold strong nostalgic appeal - and one of their key features was the fact that they slowed down in the midsection and came to a slightly unsatisfying, perhaps overblown, denouement. Not that I think the Simpsons Movie has this problem - the laugh level is fairly consistent throughout, dipping just-perceptibly once they get to Alaska - but rather, vestiges of it.

OK somebody's already put "Spider Pig, Spider Pig, does whatever a Spider Pig does" but they forgot the next bit - "Can he hang from a lamp? No he can't, cos he's a pig"

I'm quite certain it's "can he swing/from a web?/No he can't - he's a pig." That would actually make sense.
