Its more like giving robots preferences would be weird

Actually, I was more surprised that the announcer just called them robots and not Cylons. Of course, this episode first aired in early 1999, even then Star Wars was more popular than Battlestar Galactica.
This is going to be so much fun.
One thing I don't like about Simpsons especially in the late 90'S is being beholden to the status quo. Yes status quo is god, but the early seasons enjoyed stories that don't amount to "we do thing, but the climax resets the status quo".

Their obsession with the status quo is honestly why they've lasted so long I think

It certainly makes Marge happy. 
Funny but not helpful
Honestly, I wish they’d time skip a few years so Maggie could be an actual character
I know they won’t though.

They already write Bart and Lisa more like teens, kindergartener Maggie could be really fun. But I know outside of a non canon 'future' episode, they won't and even then she gets more jokes than personality. (Like the Lisa's Opus one where Maggie just holds up a sign that says "you speak for me" when Lisa goes to college.)

I mean I'm fine with it, the whole audience already knows. They wouldn't question why they had multiple christmases yet the characters never age or go up in school year. I just wish their storytelling doesn't involve leaning on the status quo.
What do you all think of the few status quo changes they did make like Lisa being a vegetarian and Buddhist, Barney overcoming alcoholism in season 11 (until relapsing in season 15), and Maude Flanders permanently dying?
Like I said earlier, Lisa becoming a Buddhist was -takes a shot of his cocktail- not a great plan.
I smell magic in the air. Or maybe barbecue.

credit to them though that she stayed Buddhist though

In which TheRealJims tackle how The Simpsons portray character deaths.
...and wow, especially that Father Kristofski death ad. Gee wiz, who would die among them - the almost always recurring characters or the guest character?
Although his conclusion is hilarious - you have apparently a high mortality rate if you're an adult parent.

(please don't actually wack any snakes)

The scene in question.
@Ulti: Since you mentioned it, there actually is a real Whacking Day in Australia. Only it’s about clobbering cane toads rather than snakes.

They should have invited Weird Al instead. He's already sung an anthem to stomping weasels, he wouldn't mind a snake whacking.

Perfect though it would have been, "Weasel Stomping Day" unfortunately was only released to the public in 2006 (both as part of Al's Straight Outta Lynwood album and a music video that was part of a Season 2 episode of Robot Chicken), quite some time after "Whacking Day" was made, and the Simpsons episode might well have inspired the song, at least in part.
