it was always unfunny shit
dafuq u talking about, it was better than the show
Is spider pig a fricking joke to you? It was the Sneed before Sneed. It was hilarious. The only problem with the movie is one of the writers had a very sick fetish with Bart being naked out in public and then handcuffed to a pole
I wish it was Lisa. That would’ve been hot. Not that hot but it would’ve probably tickled my fancy just a bit. I’m not saying I would be jerking off to that. I’m saying my fancy would’ve been just a little bit tickled is all
You are a sick and twisted man >:(
They're not allowed to do that because deep down everyone knows how hot it would be.
It would’ve caused a moral panic in America unironically. Think about how many people would’ve been watching that movie with their family, and then gotten visibly erect during that. It would’ve destroyed at least 1,000 marriages
>omg haha
>OH MY GOD, HERALD, WHY ARE YOU HARD TO AN 8 YEAR OLD GIRL HANDCUFFED NAKED! WE HAVE A FRICKING DAUGHTER YOU SICK BASTARD. YOU SHOULDN’T BE AROUND OUR KIDS. I NEED TO GO CALL MY BEST FRIEND ABOUT THIS, I THINK I WANT A DIVORCE
Even for an 8 year old she has an ass that won’t quit, you got to admit it honey
These were the only moments in the movie I found funny:
1. The spiderpig shit.
2. The scene were the villain is explaining he wants weak soldier to stand besides the strong soldiers to make them look stronger.
3. The fake ending.
4. The credits scene where Tom Hanks tells people to leave him alone.
Everything else was a dud.
I liked it from the first second because it starts in widescreen like tv and than it goes to extra widescreen and its fricking green day doing the theme. I don't even like green day but that was a pretty nice opening. Only opening i liked better was Bohemain Rhapsody because Brain May did the 20th century fanfare with his signature tone. But that was the best part of that flick.
>commercial comes on and shills “spider pig” for the nth time
It wasn’t funny, it wasn’t okay, it was dogshit. All of it. Anyone who says otherwise shows they are unfunny morons who should not be allowed an opinion.
>2. The scene were the villain is explaining he wants weak soldier to stand besides the strong soldiers to make them look stronger.
That part still makes me giggle just thinking about it.
I don't think I have ever rewatched it.
It might have been better than the show was at the time. Episodes from that era include the one where Marge starts playing an MMORPG, Homer becoming a paparazzo, Bart playing drums with guest stars, and many other piles of utter shit.
The tie in video game is actually very fun. Movie stinks.
Simpsons games have an impress track record considering how bad the show became. They were still making good Simpsons games well after the show became unwatchable.
It was only connected to the film in that it came out in 2007. There is not one reference to the film in this game.
Yeah I was always a little surprised at how much people love this one. I think for me I already moved on from the Simpsons so seeing this compared to my memory of 90s Simpsons made it feel subpar. It's not the freshest in my mind but the plot was weird. Idk it just didn't work for me.
people loved it because they thought it was the last blast of the NTSC style simpsons and a culmination of the two decades of character building, but since then we've got the HDTV neo-simpsons with multiple decades of preachy nonsense with no jokes and no soul. so, many still attribute this shit movie as the "high water mark" for the IP.
>the plot was weird. Idk it just didn't work for me.
It didn't help that they had literally 11 guys write the screenplay; a bizarre mix of the OG guys (Brooks, Simon, Groening), golden age guys (Swartzwelder, Vitti, Meyer) and decline-era guys (Maxtone-Graham, Selman).
The quality veered all over the place.
A lot of the jokes were over-explained too since they were trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator, as well as someone who may have never watched the Simpsons before.
I assume that's why we got the Schwarzenegger instead of Wolfcastle bit
>golden age guys (Swartzwelder, Vitti, Meyer)
If just these three had written the movie it would have been amazing. Swartzwelder alone would have produced something incredible.
As a kid this was my only experience with The Simpsons beyond general social osmosis.
That show was such a fixture of my childhood that I always find it so bizarre when someone tells me that they've never seen it before. Same as when I talk to someone who has made it to adulthood without having seen a single Star Wars movie.
my only experience with star wars was the Family Guy parody trilogy
I was too busy watching Most Extreme and dinosaur documentaries.
>when you meet people who only really know the new seasons of the Simpsons, and have no real comprehension of how good it used to be, and also think Family Guy is better
Makes me feel fricking ancient.
I have never met anyone like that. All the zoomers I've met that watch Simpsons jock the golden age like everyone else.
I would put it on par with the lesser Futurama episodes during its initial run. I think the only thing that made me laugh was Homer flipping of the mob in a taunting fashion while he was sinking into the ground.
I thought it was alright back when I first watched it,because I wanted it to be good. But it is dogshit, just like every season of the show past 8.
>unwatchable shit
I thought that was the general consensus
I didn't like the apocalyptic tone of the movie, I would have preferred something more light hearted and stupid for it, like a vacation to somewhere exotic or something stupid like that.
The movie was great. Should have ended the series.
The first half was shit and the second half was alright. Also I know it's a cartoon but someone should have tried digging under the dome.
It's pure American comedy, of course it has always been unfunny shit.
it's mediocre but not unwatchable. what I really don't understand is people claiming the show was good until the movie even though the show started going downhill a decade before the movie.
The Simpsons Movie was the definition of mid. Classic Simpsons died in 1998, along with Phil Hartman.
Imagine how kino a Simpsons movie would have been ten years earlier.
a simpsons rewatch should end with lard of the dance
The dome destruction scene was comfy and the perfect ending for the show though. Personally I like everything that happens on the return of the simpsons to springfield, and I hate everything that happens before the dome is put in.
You guys really can't understand what it was like in the theater watching this, I have NEVER seen a crowd laugh harder, the only movies that came close were probably Borat or maybe specific moments in Super bad
I LITERALLY pissed my pants laughing and I wasn't the only one in my row
was it a special needs screening
The last time I saw a lil raunchy "The Rock" summer romp the isles were flooded with piss.
The stuff involving Homer, Marge, Bart and Flanders is pretty good. Lisa is just kinda there tho.
Homer is too much of a dumb butthole in that first part though, that's why I don't like it. It feels like a Family Guy movie.
>caring about simpsons post Iraq war
Lisa is a b***h
Worst. televistion. character. ever.
Homer - *works overtime every week, constantly supports Lisa, and then spends a few hours to himself drinking a little bit*
Lisa - My dad is such an butthole who doesn’t care about me
feminist writers will always throw male characters under the bus even when it makes no sense
Lisa feels like a womanchild even though she's an actual child, because the writers confused "Lisa is an 8 year old who occassionally impresses with her ideas because she has a semblance of insight and common sense in a world of imbeciles" with "Lisa is the voice of reason to the fricking audience, who we will assume are all stupid too".
I think the Tree episode is where Lisa starting getting ruined. She got characterized more and more like a teenager, which dissolved the "I'm literally 8 years old" defense when she started becoming unbearable even later on.
Was this part of her character arc where she then realized her dad was pretty good, or do the writers just hate men for some reason
Do you really have to ask?
It was mostly likely just the female writers deciding to project their daddy issues. Homer’s literally always been a good natured but irresponsible father, but he’s always been loving to his kids
>77 minutes and a half without credits
Doesn't overstay its welcome. Credits are worth watching for the music and some extra bits tho.
They still clearly had no idea what to do with all that runtime. The movie feels like it's composed entirely of nu-Simpsons b plot setups linked together in a chain. It unironically has a regular episode's worth of story.
Ham fisted climate change propaganda.
>you, average Joe, not massive corporations and governments are responsible for polluting the environment so we literally need to imprison you in a giant dome.
That's in no way a controversial opinion. Let's move the goalpost further: this game sucks and it has the same kind of jokes and humor as the movie (came out only 4 years before the movie)
The only thing about Hit and Run that sucks is the last four missions, which are really just the same mission of driving back and forth from the power plant to the elementary school.
Eat asphalt asphalt eater
It was better than GTA V but not IV or SA.
Never, I'm not gonna "admit" something I don't agree with
only pedod like it because they got to see bart's penis
This movie came out in what 2007? I remember having a conversation at the time with my friend about how I hadn't watched Simpsons in about 3 or 4 years because I didn't think it was funny anymore. I remember reviews for this movie saying it was a throwback to the golden age. It wasn't, and I haven't rewatched this or the series since.
>We can't keep stopping at every SOP sign
I laughed
I'm in the camp of 'ok' in the sense that it wasn't actively, offensively bad
Of course, it's not good either, and I don't feel any desire to revisit it, which means that if we were to compare it to all episodes in seasons 1-12 it would be in the bottom half
>No sneed
You got it right
Naw, it was funny
Homersexual
It was better than the show had been for about five years at that point.
That's all it is though. It's barely worth watching.
The movie wishes it was Bigger Longer and Uncut so badly
No, because I always thought it was shit.
>tired performative anti-bush metaphors in 2007 when even conservatives knew he was a shit president
>really forced delivery typical of zombie simpsons
>constant "LE SPIDER PIG" marketing angle like the joke was made in a board room
It just felt soul less and manufactured, like all Fox wanted to make was a Simpsons "movie event" rather than an actual film.
It was riterally Leddit.
Snis chonically
I still dont understand why spiderpig was supposed to be funny
It wasn't.
At the time spiderman was big, and homer making the pig act like spider pig while also causing it to get mud on the ceiling was mildly humorous
I remember people had been using the upcoming movie as a cope for why the last couple of seasons were shit, then the movie was shit, and the following seasons were even more shit.
Movies of TV shows seem to be difficult to pull of because of character development.
