In this episode, Homer tries to win back Marge with sex toys when he fails to be romantic while Lisa becomes interested in Milhouse when he acts poorly towards her.
Afterwards they return home and set all the sex items on fire; Marge admits that she was too hard on him as she says that no matter what he will try to make things right.
She begins to approach him and he becomes excited, but she has only come to the table to tell Bart that Marge had mixed up their lunches.
Having just seen A Streetcar Named Desire for a class assignment, Milhouse takes on the personality of Marlon Brando, and is rude and dismissive towards her, refusing her request for the cupcake.
Feeling as though he is betraying his character he throws cupcakes (the same from earlier on in the episode) at Lisa's window.
Like the original montage, the gag is set to the song "Crystal Blue Persuasion" by Tommy James and the Shondells.
[2] The gag ends with the camera zooming out of a television to show a live-action Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, the main characters from Breaking Bad, sitting on the couch watching Marge.
[3] Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul reprised their roles of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, respectively from Breaking Bad.
[3] Cranston previously appeared as a different character in the twenty-third season episode "The Spy Who Learned Me.
"[10] Rob H. Dawson of TV Equals said "The sushi restaurant portion of “What Animated Women Want” felt lazy too, mixing together Asian stereotypes and some vague notion of rude fancy restaurants into a less-than-hilarious mess, the only highlight being the alternate universe in which anime pieces of sushi go on an adventure in Santa's Little Helper’s intestines, which I actually liked, one piece of something fun in the middle of an otherwise lackluster The Simpsons.
