| Episode Information
|
"YOLO" is the five hundred and thirty-fourth episode of The Simpsons and fourth episode of the twenty-fifth season.
Synopsis
Homer's down-in-the-dumps after he realizes you only live once, so Marge encourages him to embrace his YOLO spirit, and she invites his old pen pal to stay and cross items off his 'to-do/dream list' from when he was 10-years-old. Meanwhile, Springfield Elementary's cheating scandal is resolved, or seems to be, when Lisa institutes a new honor code.[1]
Production
Music editor Chris Ledesma revealed on his Twitter that the episode was written by Michael Nobori.
Reception
The episode gathered 4.2 million viewers and a 1.9 18-49 rating/share.[3]
The episode received positive reviews from critics. The A.V Club gave the episode a B rating and summed up, "It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s at least an improvement over the structural shrug that was last week’s denouement. And the tag, with Homer unexpectedly having accompanied Eduardo all the way back to Spain instead of dropping him off at the gate, is one of those lovely little moments where they show goes for a little heart—and gives the character his due." They gave praise to the episode's B-story "where most of the hard laughs come in" and were pleased "the creators expanded their canvas a little."[4]
