The game ratchets up MK’s absurd elements, showing Liu Kang being shot by a tank, and two Goro-like figures with 6 arms each engaged in bloody battle. Bonestorm (Marge be not Proud)īonestorm is a not so subtle parody of the enemy of moral guardians and spelling enthusiasts everywhere, Mortal Kombat.

Billy Graham’s Bible Blaster (Alone Again, Natura-Diddily)Ī bit of the old ultra-violence is fine for a cool kid like Bart, but that kind of thing is definitely not okelly-dokelly in the Flanders household. Later on in the movie, Maggie gets her hands on the pseudo Game Boy along with Babyblast, and she’s even less inclined than her brother to show mercy to her fellow babies. This edgiest of edgelord games is literally a dead baby joke, which Bart makes all the more outrageous by playing in church.
