I made a post about this on the Discord a while back, but it didn't get much traction and I've not had much luck locating this promo myself since then.
Homer's Enemy is my favorite Simpsons episode of all time, and it's known pretty well by most fans- however, while searching for extra information on the episode one day, I came across an archive of reviews and notes from 1997, the year the episode premiered. One of the viewer's comments especially struck me, as it mentioned the episode's advertisement went a weird direction and had added laugh tracks as well as live action sitcom-esque commentary. Though I'm sure it's only around 30 seconds long and isn't a huge deal, I think it would be super interesting to see this odd choice in its original form, so I've been searching for the ad ever since. I've checked multiple Fox VHS rips on YouTube and Dailymotion, but the closest I've gotten is finding a promo for one of the other episodes that came out around the time. Enemy aired on May 4 (see image/link below for airtime and its bookend shows), so I'm assuming that these ads popped up around the week of April 27-May 4, the time between the prior episode airing and its own air date.
Below are the comments that allude to this ad from the 97 website (they were very concerned about this ad's content, lol), the tv schedule for the day the episode aired, and a link to the page yourself if you'd like to explore the rest of the reviews. Thanks so much! Any help is appreciated.
