Bart: Thanks, Mom.
Lisa: And now you can go back to just being you, instead of a one-dimensional character with a silly catchphrase.
Homer: [breaks lamp] D'oh!
Bart: Aye Carumba.
Marge: Hmmmmm.
Maggie: [sucks pacifier]
Ned Flanders: Hidely-ho.
Barney Gumble: [belches]
Nelson: Ha-ha.
Mr. Burns: Excellent.
[pause, everyone stares at Lisa]
Lisa: If anyone wants me, I'll be in my room.
Homer: What kind of catchphrase is that?

This is a strong episode that includes good comedy and great satirical writing.
The Simpsons is at its best when it uses its characters and stories to reflect certain aspects of society that deserve to be lampooned. This one includes a strong parody of the catchphrase comedy and pop culture fads that rise and fall with consumers habits.
Bart is at the centre of the story with his usual misbehaviour leading to unexpected results. From then on he is amusingly written as a bit of a rabbit caught in the headlights before the bubble bursts. As always the frustrated Lisa is the humorous moral centre to everything and this leads to a very good final scene involving more catchphrases.
