No, but he doesn't represent most of us in general. That kind of comic guy only exists in the minds of comic executives who think he's still buying their stuff instead of living in a flowerpot.
Yeah, recession ate them alive and the tech scams and big boxers and Gen X manchildren feasted on the remains. I'm trying to think of one that's even remotely still around, and I literally can't. Been thinking for five minutes.
Yeah, but idealism is a universal trait. The specific "women should be able to do everything a man does, with no exploration of the social role of a man and perhaps deconstruction therein" execution that's very much Lisa isn't around anymore. Every woman under 50 hates Hillary Clinton; for her own reasons, certainly, but she's no longer aspirational. Having more diverse corrupt politicians and moronic CEOs is no longer the goal outside of a 90s tinged world.
Lisa actually seemed to want change, a lot of the modern ones do so largely for social validation and to be a part of the "in" thing. Just see how many clearly straight women start to claim to be whatever nonsense, like bisexual, nonbinary, pansexual, asexual, etc just to make themselves a part of the pride movement, because simply offering support doesn't do enough to boost her own social standing.
I don't know, bitter fans who endlessly b***h about what they're supposedly a fan of, despite continuing to obsessively consume, still seems a pretty common phenomenon, not to mention the increase in obesity rates. I guess what doesn't exist is that most of these types don't have the wherewithal or the financial opportunity to open a business, so they're instead working some shitty job while living with their parents.

I think the only outdated aspect is the comic part. Nerds/neckbeards like Comic Book Guy still exist, but they have other interests instead (usually anime or vidya)

To be fair he's a caricature from the 90s, most of the simpsons stereotypes don't exist in the contemporary world
you telling me there are no crackheads obsessed with 70s music in 2024?
Only Tarentino

I was gonna say Jimbo and then remembered this vid i watched like 2 weeks ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkirYdM7Ka8
Maybe Lisa? Dense young woman that think she knows it all and wants to save the world (from her perspective) is still very much alive.

Many parts still resemble modern fandom bullshit but he still a caricature of a 90s thing.
It's a strawman of my kind.

>living in a flowerpot
wat
>Cute asian wife
>Owns a business
I wish
No, he does.
A little. I like how they had him have general collector traits. It made an easy segway into jokes about lost cartoon and stuff.
No, not particularly.
Future Bart does.
I'm a nerd, but I'm not fat, a business owner, nor married to an Asian lady, so no, he definitely doesn't.
Ponytail, balding, snobby? Yeah, it me.
>The Simpsons went on for long enough to actually throw Comic Book Guy a bone and have him be married
he represents this board as a whole but not us as individuals
>has a beautiful wife
kek no, i am single
His wife is one of the worst characters in the show.
not really, but he and Snake are my favorite simpsons characters. and the bus driver guy
If he does I didn't vote for him
He's just the Simpsons writers version of a soijak
