Featured reviews
5 writers and 16 producers worked on this short. This was nearly as bad as the Lisa Goes Gaga episode. Not funny and pretty uninteresting. I would've preferred to watch paint dry over this.
This, like Maggie eloquently put, sucks. But not in the good way.
I'm just glad these are being done as shorts instead of forced half an hour nonsensical episodes like the Lady Gaga one.
Also, aren't these shorts supposed to be funny like the Maggie ones?
This is just a "look how great this artist everyone already knows is" with no wit, no parody and (most importantly) no comedy.
The Simpsons needed to change producers 20 years ago...

Why did this need to exist? The only thing that I liked about this short was when Billie fired the big orchestra. That was it. This entire short feels dead and lacking of energy. They just play the Simpson theme song; they couldn't even think of an original song to play. It's just so pointless and boring it's clear that no one cared about it. It was just slop pushed out to further advertise Disney+ and Billie Eillish. Nothing against her, but it just seems like a shameless corporate attempt to get people to watch it. Also Lisa's line at the end about Homer sounds like she's just reading it off a sheet and there is no emotion or energy to anything in this short. The visual gags are weird and disturbing, the cuts around town are boring and uninspired, also, where is the music coming from? I know i'm nit picking a 3 minute short from 3 years ago but i'm just genuinely amazed at how bad this was. It leaves me thinking one singular question: Why?
They already did this with Lisa Goes Gaga, and look how that turned out. Like seriously, why does Disney keep airing these shorts that only exist as advertisements. First the MCU, then they literally did a commercial for Disney+, and now Billie Eilish. It's boring, with extremely weak jokes, but luckily it's only 3 minutes. Don't waste your time on this.
Longtime fan of Lisa Simpson here. Should have liked this short, and didn't. The Simpsons shorts in the post-Tracey Ullmann era started out good (The Longest Daycare, Willie's Views on Scottish Independence, Playdate with Destiny), and gave a breath of fresh air to these characters having them respond to current events, or explore new directions such as Maggie having a silent little adventure. Since moving to Disney+, it's been generally downhill.
The shorts all seem intended to advertise both the show or other Disney products. Plusaversary was particularly bad with the way it shilled for Disney+, and there's a bit of that with this one too, particularly in the end credits. Three minutes long and not a single laugh, and a few cringey moments too (spiders out of Billie's mouth, eww). I think it's time for The Simpsons writers to stop and rethink, "What are we doing here?"
