Reddit defends this episode to the death. Theres an entire counter narrative with a million youtube essayists talking about how unfairly hated this episode is. But it marked a turning point for the show in a bad way
Is this the Armin Tamzanian episode? A mistaken identity story takes you out of Springfield. it’s just supposed to be forgotten the next episode. I thought it was funny, but it sticks out in canon. Not that there wasn’t stupider things going on like Homer going to space.
>Man getting hit by football >Burns telling Senor Spielbergo he's just like Schindler, only the shells he made for the Germans actually worked >George C. Scott getting hit by football
I get why Groening thought it'd be a commercial for The Critic, but it was a funny episode, and Barney's movie was genuinely poignant.
Groening is the luckiest man in showbusiness. He isn't funny and contributed basically nothing to the success of the show. He just happened to be surrounded by way more talent than a cartoon has ever had.

This one is not that bad, but it really was the turning point for the show. The fact that they fricked with the canon so hard just for it to be forgotten in the next ep like nothing happened really set a precedent. From here onwards the show gradually went to shit.
Most guys cannot fathom what its like to be a woman in 2023 Its hilarious, but its also kinda sad. Let's imagine one single day in the average woman's life. Her day commences in the haze of whatever free drugs and booze she imbibed, boofed and snorted the previous day. She can barely make out all the notifications from thirsty dudes literally from all over the world.
There's a vast underclass of swarthy men stretching from here to bumfrick Bangladesh who like, comment and follow a girl like this, and she needn't ever interact with them. Are these men even real? Not to her, no. Plus, in all likelihood she is waking up next to one or several sleeping studs, the ones who the night before gaped and glazed our girl until their rigorous frickings broke her fickle female reality and she suddenly saw before her the roastie dimension: a yonic realm where tesseracts of turgid, tumescent phalluses are powered by the aggregated orgasmic energies of all women worldwide who in that same moment shared delivery to this phantasmic space by way of the same sort of jackhammering frickfest induced hallucinations.
She'd have forgotten her name, number systems and become psychically disembodied somewhere during the double penetrations.

I'm not the oldest anon but I have interacted with a lot of women in my life. I love my wife, my mom, my sister, my cousins, grandmothers, aunts, etc. I have worked with women, for women, and women have worked for me. I am friends with women. I have dated dozens of women. I went to college with women. Worked on projects with women. Overall, I have had (guessing) thousands upon thousands of both passive and intimate interactions with women.
That being said, I can conclude without any doubt whatsoever that women are inferior both physically and intellectually to men in every measurable way. If you want to be successful in interacting with women it is best to treat them like children. This is not just for romantic relationships but any interaction you have with them.
In my experience, women don’t desire responsibility in any genuine way, especially long-term. That is actually okay because they really aren’t supposed to. Provision and responsiblity are attributes for men. Women that pretend to be resposible (i.e. “girl boss” or women CEOs) pursue these endeavors because they hate men (they want to “prove” something)
Look at what happens when women accumulate resources.
What happens when you give a ten year old $20? They spend it right away! They spend it on something frivolous with no thought or regard about their future or how to enrich the lives of the people around them.
"Her money is her money and my money is her money"
Men on the other hand work and provision resources to share with the family. Women do not do this. They would rather buy a new pair of shoes or handbag than fix up the family car or home maintenance - "that's what his money is for"
Want to be more successful with women? Treat and speak to them like children! Once I realized this, all my anxiety to approach and interact with women went out the window. They WANT to be treated like a child because they are as emotionally mature as one
kinda hard to treat them as children when all of society and every other woman and every israeli person that makes media and the laws and every simp tells them every day all the time that they are actually the ultimate queens and rulers and goddesses
Average woman , probably not. Instagram chicks yeah somewhat truthful. Although I wont deny even average women have it much easier in the dating market. But my guess is that is already known
You guys act like a woman could still get laid even if she was ugly but I guaranfrickingtee you not every woman is a vapid prostitute with a hole stretched like the grand canyon

Season 33, Episode 22 - “Poorhouse Rock”
This episode really had me thinking the show was dead. The political commentary in the episode basically boiled down to “burn down society and start over”
An awful, awful season finale with Hugh Jackman shoehorned in with his stage singing about how the evils of capitalism. How fun for an episode of The Simpsons!
The show's been dead since like season 11, wtf are you talking about
I mean “dead” as in, so up its own ass politically, that episodes constantly contain inflammatory commentary.
For me, The Simpsons became Zombie-Simpsons when they switched completely to digital colors, Season 14 IIRC.
There are thankfully occasional nuggets of quality entertainment, but they are far and few between.
Regardless, I will still watch every episode.
It's wild to me that these people complain how the previous generations had it so damned good...in a world where America was a huge majority white, sexual promiscuity was socially shamed, gays were shamed, trannies didn't exist, segregation was in place, gender roles were much more prominent.
But none of those are why America used to be good. It's that the rich aren't being taxed enough and too many people watch Fox news. Of course.
And it's weird to me that they want to destroy society, as if society was destroyed, that it wouldn't turn into pre-1950's social order where all the things they hate would come roaring back without a governance to prevent it from happening.
This episode is still surreal as frick to me, didn’t they make one recently with them getting together in the 2000’s?
I don’t get why these shows feel the need to even address this years later when they already made one or two origin stories years earlier, just don’t mention it again.
Doubt they're going that route. As recently as 2019, they had an episode referencing Grampa as a World War II veteran: >https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_About_the_Toy >The family takes him to the VA, but the doctor is unable to find out what is wrong. Lisa notices that the molding of the soldier toys resembles Grampa, then asks if the company that used him for the photos of the plastic army men paid him. Grampa recalls that in 1947 he was paid to model for the original army men, including a promise of a royalty for each toy. >Grampa ends up on Channel 6 news and shortly after reaches national headlines on NBC. After the headlines, the toy company that used Grampa for their toys invites him to visit their headquarters in New York City. The chairman tells Grampa that he missed out on millions of dollars because he never signed his contract. Grampa remembers that he ran out of the shoot because the male photographer kissed him. The company then fired the photographer for being gay. Realizing that he may have ruined the photographer's life, Grampa vows to visit him to apologize.
word... so assuming he was the average age of a WW2 enlister back in 1941 (26) that'd make him... currently 108 years old.
Meaning he had Homer when he was like... 82...

I remember that one episode where they had the "young family" flashback and they drove Priuses and used old iPhones. Felt so fricking weird realising that they went from boomers to millenials and if they keep going at it, Marge and Homer will have probably met when they played Among Us in HS

What the frick
Every modern Simpsons episode is utterly unwatchable whenever Marge opens her mouth and Julie Kavner's 100 year old chainsmoker voice comes out.
The fact that all the rest of the main cast sound relatively as good as ever makes her stick out even worse. Relegate her to doing Patty and Selma and recast Marge with a cheap soundalike.
Apart the voice, what the frick
Why is Mr. Burns out of sync with his own voice? Why does he move like that? Looks like he's about to dance for no reason
The original Simpson voices are horrible, they all sound moronic, guess thats why the show has more viewers in other countries, better and more voice actors
Here's some other things you might have missed while having a life that I do not: >Comic Book Guy is now married to a Japanese manga artist who wants his babies >Moe got engaged to a midget >Flanders got married to Mrs. Krabappel, but then she died offscreen and he became Bart's teacher, before he went back to the Leftorium and Bart got a flawless woman of color for his new teacher >Fat Tony became Maggie's godfather, although he's not actually the original Fat Tony. In the laziest retcon in the show's history, Fat Tony died of a heart attack, and he was replaced by his cousin "Fit Tony", who started stress eating until they called him "Fat Fit Tony", and finally "Fat Tony". >Smithers is out of the closet, as is Patty >Dr. Hibbert, Carl, etc, have been recast with black voice actors, because even nonstereotypical black characters can't be voiced by whites
>Flanders got married to Mrs. Krabappel, but then she died offscreen and he became Bart's teacher, before he went back to the Leftorium and Bart got a flawless woman of color for his new teacher
ugh
>Nothing. They just haven't returned to the Kwik-E-Mart. You still see Apu in the background sometimes, without any lines.
I don’t know why but this bothers me more than him just having his voice actor replaced, that fricking documentary “comedian” is such a tool.
Showrunners didn't give in - Azaria cucked and got psyoped into believing he actually was racist because he's a boomer frick and refuses to do the voice now.

>You autist[s] believing everyone is as openly/blatantly anti-Stalin as you…
I know it’s weird. Why don’t more people publicly denounce Comrade Stalin? What are they afraid of?
Book Guy is now married to a Japanese manga artist who wants his babies >>Moe got engaged to a midget
I always thought those were just one-off episodes
Well, Comic Book Guy got married at least ten years ago and has been married ever since. Moe got engaged like two seasons ago but she hasn't been seen since.
Homer and Bart briefly converted in the episode where Liam Neeson played a priest, but they're still Presybylutherans. Even protestants have godparents.
Who even watches this show anymore?
Like I know the whole reason they still have it running is for the east money and to retain the rights and culture relevance, but who the frick actually still watches new episodes all the time to keep it on air?
Even my friends who are the most die hard Simpsons fans I know haven’t watched new episodes in over a decade.
I know this is the case because there's a video of Nancy Cartwright doing her Bart voice to a college aged kid, and it was awkward as frick, because he clearly didn't know, or have a very vague idea of who the frick bart was, and this was like 7-10 years ago, so he was probably an older zoomer, I imagine alphies probably don't even know what a Simpsons is.
Idk if it's even in the runnie for the worst, but I remember Treehouse of Horror XVIII being the first I straight up disliked a Simpsons episode, as a kid.
>“Carl Carlson Rides Again” >Season 34, Episode 14 >Meeting a woman at the bowling alley leads Carl on a journey through his racial identity. He ends up on the Black side of Springfield and learns the history of Black cowboys. >DUUUUUUUUDE Springfield has a black part of town now even though it was never mentioned in the previous 33 seasons
Does this cuck shit have any writers in common with whatever episode that shitty "the squad" vs the orange man musical came from?
I'd genuinely be shocked if the answer was no.
The only real Simpsons autist is the gay who made the weird collages of "the simpsons female characters laughing at a stegosaurus" stuff like that. I miss that dude.
Does Matt Groening actually do any work on the show? Has he done any since season 1 aside from DVD commentaries? Never really been sure of his actual role after coming up with drawings of the main family members. He's had very few writing credits.
I think this was the first episode I actually hated watching. There had been episodes I didn't really care for before, but this was the thing that made me realize how bad the show was getting.
>Lionel Hutz's last appearance coincides with Gil's first
As a kid I never realised that Gil was a post-golden age character, but him appearing in an episode really lets you know you're watching the decline.
The problem is that Gil exists basically to replace Lionel Hutz initially as the "type of lawyer an Average family is gonna end up with" and Hutz is a fun overconfident recovering alcoholic who seems like he's up to something illegal, Gil is the yang to that, a down-on-his-luck City College Graduate who loses every case but seems nice enough.
He almost is a character explicitly designed for that era of time, TV and the Simpsons. He's more Jimmy Stewart less Bob Odenkirk
He's sort of an amalgamation of Hutz (constantly cycling through whatever jobs the plot requires) and Moleman (pathetic old man constantly being shat on by life) and yet he's a worse version of both of them.
Had Hartman not died I can see an episode where its revealed that Gil is Lionel's dad and they've both just at different paths of the male Hutz trajectory. Lionel is the 30-something gogetter who keep hustling while Gil is just the same guy at 60 and he's just got this constant sense of imminent doom about him.
It's weird to me that they never tried a timeskip like the Flintstones, with the kids in high school. At least that would give them new material to work with. At they'd still have Maggie in elementary school for those storylines.
This was on the TV yesterday and I watched it out of morbid curiousity >Bart and Lisa get fat after having to take steroids after getting sick >Lisa goes into a fricking meltdown after Marge calls her chunky, winds up having a public meltdown and there's a body positivity song with Patty and Selma in bikinis >Meanwhile Bart works out in a gym
It was fricking awful but unintentionally hilarious that Bart just started working out and had no real problems. Also frick the Lizzo episode too. I think we'll get to a point where Lisa Goes Gaga won't be the worst eventually.
Helen Lovejoy's cousin, but he doesn't have any lines. It's an episode where Marge finds Grampa's old wrestling unitard and us happy, because she mistakenly thinks Grampa is a transvestite and wants to prove she's more tolerant than Helen.
There's also a future episode that implies Martin Prince eventually becomes "Marsha Princess "
The recent one where they revealed Maggie was Lenny's baby
I refuse to believe thats true
What are you gonna do, watch every recent episode to prove me wrong? Looks like you have no choice but to believe me
I looked at the wiki and I know those autists would have updated it by now so there.
Lenny is probably the biggest character who has never had an episode with him in the center. Even Ms. Hoover and Sarah Wiggum have had episodes.
I vaguely remember an episode where he goes to his home country of Iceland
Wasn't that Carl?
The creators respected his wishes and has allowed him to live away from the public eye.
That's not real

That's fake, but they did do an episode where they played with the Reddit theory that Ralph is Eddie's son, though it was "non canonical".

Lisa needs braces.
The only episode I'm aware of Matt Groening explicitly saying he dislikes. Based Shearer fricking hates it too
It’s not good, but acting like it’s the worst episode ever shat out in the history of television is Reddit

It's the worst pre-zombie Simpsons episode
pretty sure he hates the critic crossover episode too because it felt like shilling to him. he refused to do the commentary for that episode.
He refused to even be in the opening credits for it, it's just Brooks and Simon.
It's a pretty funny episode, a lot of great bits and Jay's dynamics with the family, especially Patty and Selma is hilarious. Groening got exposed.
It also has the classic BOO-URNS line.
>Man getting hit by football
>Burns telling Senor Spielbergo he's just like Schindler, only the shells he made for the Germans actually worked

The show's been dead since like season 11, wtf are you talking about
Don't forget President Clinton's Secretary of Labor co-starring.
>burn down society
That is what they have been doing for the past 100 years...
It's wild to me that these people complain how the previous generations had it so damned good...in a world where America was a huge majority white, sexual promiscuity was socially shamed, gays were shamed, trannies didn't exist, segregation was in place, gender roles were much more prominent.
But none of those are why America used to be good. It's that the rich aren't being taxed enough and too many people watch Fox news. Of course.
And it's weird to me that they want to destroy society, as if society was destroyed, that it wouldn't turn into pre-1950's social order where all the things they hate would come roaring back without a governance to prevent it from happening.
they don’t call it clown world for nothing
Why is there such a weird filter on this?
It's probably a dream sequence, Ned's having a nightmare.
marge remember the 90s
This episode is still surreal as frick to me, didn’t they make one recently with them getting together in the 2000’s?
I don’t get why these shows feel the need to even address this years later when they already made one or two origin stories years earlier, just don’t mention it again.
how long until grandpa is retconned to be a vietnam vet even though that was skinner's shtick
>Skinner was an Iraq vet
Maybe they'll pull a Rugrats reboot, and have that he was a hippie at the time , and not a le heckin "baby killer"
Bruh, Grampa is going to be a fricking Desert Storm vet... Skinner is going to be an Afghan Vet
Doubt they're going that route. As recently as 2019, they had an episode referencing Grampa as a World War II veteran:
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_About_the_Toy
>The family takes him to the VA, but the doctor is unable to find out what is wrong. Lisa notices that the molding of the soldier toys resembles Grampa, then asks if the company that used him for the photos of the plastic army men paid him. Grampa recalls that in 1947 he was paid to model for the original army men, including a promise of a royalty for each toy.
>Grampa ends up on Channel 6 news and shortly after reaches national headlines on NBC. After the headlines, the toy company that used Grampa for their toys invites him to visit their headquarters in New York City. The chairman tells Grampa that he missed out on millions of dollars because he never signed his contract. Grampa remembers that he ran out of the shoot because the male photographer kissed him. The company then fired the photographer for being gay. Realizing that he may have ruined the photographer's life, Grampa vows to visit him to apologize.
word... so assuming he was the average age of a WW2 enlister back in 1941 (26) that'd make him... currently 108 years old.
Meaning he had Homer when he was like... 82...
I remember that one episode where they had the "young family" flashback and they drove Priuses and used old iPhones. Felt so fricking weird realising that they went from boomers to millenials and if they keep going at it, Marge and Homer will have probably met when they played Among Us in HS
>where they had the "young family" flashback and they drove Priuses and used old iPhones
no....they wouldn't....
>Oh Homie... I remember when we first met... during 2020 pandemic lockdown. You were arguing about not wearing a mask to the store clerk while I filmed you on my Iphone 13 to shame you on Twatter...
>Oh Homie...remember how after Goerge Floyd was murdered you hooked a rope to your car and tore down that old Jefferson Davis statue?
>Yeah...hehe...no justice no peace (I can't ever tell her I just wanted to smash stuff and be called a hero for it *cutaway to Homer doing victory pose on a front page with a title "Local hero destroys statues, burns down Kwik-E-Mart" "Racism officially outlawed"*)
you should go on strike to get paid more for this gold.
>line spoken in centinarian chainsmoker voice
>That plot
What the frick am I reading
TLDR: A photographer got fired for sexually assaulting Grampa, and Grampa tracks him down to apologize.
Who says the Simpson's lost it's edge
>A photographer got fired for sexually assaulting Grampa, and Grampa tracks him down to apologize
>The chairman tells Grampa that he missed out on millions of dollars because he never signed his contract
but they used his image anyway? is that how it works?
>Grampa remembers that he ran out of the shoot because the male photographer kissed him. The company then fired the photographer for being gay. Realizing that he may have ruined the photographer's life, Grampa vows to visit him to apologize.
What the frick
>have no fears,we have stories for years
Bad episode but the Margarine song was very good and much better than the Bush song they were parodying.
The worst episode from the golden age is Homerpalooza. It feels out of place and has aged like milk.
T. Jive turkey
Every modern Simpsons episode is utterly unwatchable whenever Marge opens her mouth and Julie Kavner's 100 year old chainsmoker voice comes out.
The fact that all the rest of the main cast sound relatively as good as ever makes her stick out even worse. Relegate her to doing Patty and Selma and recast Marge with a cheap soundalike.
legit
>rest of the main cast sound relatively as good as ever
Burns sounds like shit as well now.
https://twitter.com/TanookiKuribo/status/1652833840627343362
Holy shit, I haven't seen a new episode in close to a decade. That sounds like a bad impression or bad AI
that barely even sounds like shearer
You just know that when one of the cast finally dies they'll just use AI as well.
Have no fears we've got stories for years.
I bet you could train an AI to write scripts that are around the same quality as the current ones
Better actually. I dont think AI fricking likes furry porn
Furry *cuck porn
Eventually it'll be written by AI, voiced by AI, and animated by AI.
Sounds like a Joe Biden AI
>Become old
>Can no longer voice a decrepit old man
Ironic.
>rich people don't pay taxes, just give the government even more money and they will solve every problem
That's the joke? Who writes this?
28 year latinx xirs
Why is it animated like that? Who could look at it and say: great ship it all janky like that, we'll get the gmod machinima audience.
It would have been funnier if he tried to flip the table alone and failed miserably.
Apart the voice, what the frick
Why is Mr. Burns out of sync with his own voice? Why does he move like that? Looks like he's about to dance for no reason
The original Simpson voices are horrible, they all sound moronic, guess thats why the show has more viewers in other countries, better and more voice actors
sure thing, jose
You say this because you're brown and grew up with the Guatemalan voice actors.
Here's some other things you might have missed while having a life that I do not:
>Comic Book Guy is now married to a Japanese manga artist who wants his babies
>Moe got engaged to a midget
>Flanders got married to Mrs. Krabappel, but then she died offscreen and he became Bart's teacher, before he went back to the Leftorium and Bart got a flawless woman of color for his new teacher
>Fat Tony became Maggie's godfather, although he's not actually the original Fat Tony. In the laziest retcon in the show's history, Fat Tony died of a heart attack, and he was replaced by his cousin "Fit Tony", who started stress eating until they called him "Fat Fit Tony", and finally "Fat Tony".
>Smithers is out of the closet, as is Patty
>Dr. Hibbert, Carl, etc, have been recast with black voice actors, because even nonstereotypical black characters can't be voiced by whites
>Flanders got married to Mrs. Krabappel, but then she died offscreen and he became Bart's teacher, before he went back to the Leftorium and Bart got a flawless woman of color for his new teacher
ugh
>Mrs. Krabappel, but then she died offscreen
isn't that because her VA died
Yes.
>Moe repeatedly calls Marge 'Midge'
>Gets engaged to a midge
BRAVO GROENING
oh boy I can't wait to hear what happened to hard working, successfully the american dream chasing migrant Apu happened
Nothing. They just haven't returned to the Kwik-E-Mart. You still see Apu in the background sometimes, without any lines.
Also, Michael Rapport has shown up in a couple of episodes in a recurring role as the anti-Frank Grimes.
>Nothing. They just haven't returned to the Kwik-E-Mart. You still see Apu in the background sometimes, without any lines.
I don’t know why but this bothers me more than him just having his voice actor replaced, that fricking documentary “comedian” is such a tool.
the showrunners are even bigger tools for giving in
Showrunners didn't give in - Azaria cucked and got psyoped into believing he actually was racist because he's a boomer frick and refuses to do the voice now.
they're still the ones choosing to not feature apu
Liberals are so fricking weird man, he also played that Raja superhero in Mystery Men but nobody complained about it.
The funny thing is they could have just ignored the documentary and everyone would have forgotten about it within a week, there was literally no reason to even address this but they caved in to virtue signal a little.
The Blue Raja was explicitly a white guy faking an Indian accent.
which is a joke that would never fly today which was his point i think
>Smithers is out of the closet, as is Patty
It’s amazing how the nu-writers completely missed what made Smithers so funny, also wasn’t Patty hungry for MacGyver’s dick?
>Comic Book Guy is now married to a Japanese manga artist who wants his babies
So what's your excuse for not having a qt asian gf Cinemaphile? Even the quintessential loser virgin has one
i don’t want to be an embarrassment to my race?
Be a loser khv at 25+ is more embarrassing as a human than anything else.
if you’re good looking and tall nobody can tell
if you’re with an asian people think you’re a loser
Cinemaphile ethnats aren't people
i’m talking about outside
I know, the point is ONLY chan browsing ethnats think that, normies don't view dating an asian as embarrassing, it's just average/of no mention to them.
Nah you will be judged harshly by normies in most places. Maybe in some big Australian or Canadian liberal city where it's normalised you can get away with it
You autist believing everyone is as openly/blatantly racist as you, is just as ridiculous as progs believing straight men are attracted to trans women.
>You autist[s] believing everyone is as openly/blatantly anti-Stalin as you…
I know it’s weird. Why don’t more people publicly denounce Comrade Stalin? What are they afraid of?
You won’t do shit.
?
you're already a mutt, anon
Book Guy is now married to a Japanese manga artist who wants his babies
>>Moe got engaged to a midget
I always thought those were just one-off episodes
Well, Comic Book Guy got married at least ten years ago and has been married ever since. Moe got engaged like two seasons ago but she hasn't been seen since.
>Fat Tony became Maggie's godfather
The Simpsons are Catholic now?
bart and homer converted
Homer and Bart briefly converted in the episode where Liam Neeson played a priest, but they're still Presybylutherans. Even protestants have godparents.
I know but can a Catholic be godfather to a Protestant kid?
>only one sneed post
maybe Cinemaphile is getting more mature
Too good to be true
Sneed was chemo for threads like this
>did you know the simpsons sucks now?
>look at how bad the Ke$ha simpsons video is! the show used to be good
What is up with the line here? It’s funny they mention this and even show it obviously in a newer episode but the way they say it here is a bit odd
What is? context
Who even watches this show anymore?
Like I know the whole reason they still have it running is for the east money and to retain the rights and culture relevance, but who the frick actually still watches new episodes all the time to keep it on air?
Even my friends who are the most die hard Simpsons fans I know haven’t watched new episodes in over a decade.
probably just dumb middleshoolers
There’s no way kids still watch this show
This
I know this is the case because there's a video of Nancy Cartwright doing her Bart voice to a college aged kid, and it was awkward as frick, because he clearly didn't know, or have a very vague idea of who the frick bart was, and this was like 7-10 years ago, so he was probably an older zoomer, I imagine alphies probably don't even know what a Simpsons is.
I've heard it's still very popular in the third world, particularly Central America
It was very popular here in Mexico for the longest time, well into the zombie era. But even here people dropped it about a decade ago.
Idk if it's even in the runnie for the worst, but I remember Treehouse of Horror XVIII being the first I straight up disliked a Simpsons episode, as a kid.
>Treehouse of Horror XVIII being the first I straight up disliked a Simpsons episode, as a kid.
Jesus I'm too old for this site
If makes you feel any better, I was middle school age, and almost 30 now.
>“Carl Carlson Rides Again”
>Season 34, Episode 14
>Meeting a woman at the bowling alley leads Carl on a journey through his racial identity. He ends up on the Black side of Springfield and learns the history of Black cowboys.
>DUUUUUUUUDE Springfield has a black part of town now even though it was never mentioned in the previous 33 seasons
Does this cuck shit have any writers in common with whatever episode that shitty "the squad" vs the orange man musical came from?
I'd genuinely be shocked if the answer was no.
Any episode where Marge and Lisa are involved in the main plot.
Also, the Ricky Gervais episode
then something happens
doodoo dee doodoodoo
ok but why does Mr Krabs have a moustache?
and why is he so small
To look good for SpongeBob
What compels someone to draw this
A combination of arrested development and sexual frustration.
losing a thread and needing to slide it before young men read the truth
Ok, did some Simpsons autist get offended, and is now trying to take the thread down?
I’m surprised he didn’t start spamming Simpsons porn
Bart get out I'm piss
The only real Simpsons autist is the gay who made the weird collages of "the simpsons female characters laughing at a stegosaurus" stuff like that. I miss that dude.
This one being pretty well drawn bothers me more for some reason
Why he got 2000's new groundsflash feet?
Why was that Mario pic the only deleted?
> But all is not well in Jockey Town
is this the first time they went for a weird unrealistic and surreal plot instead of just a single gag
Deep Space Homer was what, season five. That was unrealistic in sending Homer to space, not even mentioning the talking chimp.
The real difference is that the scenarios are still grounded in reality instead of involving flat out fantasy like jockey elves.
Homer the Great and You Only Move Twice are both incredibly unrealistic and surreal, they're just funnier so get a pass.
I wish Hank Scorpio was canon and he still ruled a breakaway republic on the east coast.
Does Matt Groening actually do any work on the show? Has he done any since season 1 aside from DVD commentaries? Never really been sure of his actual role after coming up with drawings of the main family members. He's had very few writing credits.
I think this was the first episode I actually hated watching. There had been episodes I didn't really care for before, but this was the thing that made me realize how bad the show was getting.
I think this may be where I stopped watching the show all together.
STAND ASIDE YOU FRICKING PLEBS
>Plebs
>Post a recent episode
Yeah, right.
The one episode where Homer is eating hot peppers and tripping
It was the worst when it aired, and probably caused a ton of people to finally drop the show.
I'm Bart Simpson. Who the hell are you?
Why hasn’t anyone made a cartoon sitcom yet where they age the characters every season?
character progression is hard 🙁
What they did to The Simpsons should be considered criminal. No occasional decent episode after season 12 makes up for it.
Personally I consider the show to have died with Phil Hartman. The fact that other cast members have died since then only makes it worse.
>Lionel Hutz's last appearance coincides with Gil's first
As a kid I never realised that Gil was a post-golden age character, but him appearing in an episode really lets you know you're watching the decline.
un fricking canny that is
>Marge just sold her first house
>*murmurmurmur*
>THE MURDER HOUSE!
The problem is that Gil exists basically to replace Lionel Hutz initially as the "type of lawyer an Average family is gonna end up with" and Hutz is a fun overconfident recovering alcoholic who seems like he's up to something illegal, Gil is the yang to that, a down-on-his-luck City College Graduate who loses every case but seems nice enough.
He almost is a character explicitly designed for that era of time, TV and the Simpsons. He's more Jimmy Stewart less Bob Odenkirk
He's sort of an amalgamation of Hutz (constantly cycling through whatever jobs the plot requires) and Moleman (pathetic old man constantly being shat on by life) and yet he's a worse version of both of them.
He's based on Jack Lemmon in Glengarry Glen Ross.
Had Hartman not died I can see an episode where its revealed that Gil is Lionel's dad and they've both just at different paths of the male Hutz trajectory. Lionel is the 30-something gogetter who keep hustling while Gil is just the same guy at 60 and he's just got this constant sense of imminent doom about him.
It's weird to me that they never tried a timeskip like the Flintstones, with the kids in high school. At least that would give them new material to work with. At they'd still have Maggie in elementary school for those storylines.
This was on the TV yesterday and I watched it out of morbid curiousity
>Bart and Lisa get fat after having to take steroids after getting sick
>Lisa goes into a fricking meltdown after Marge calls her chunky, winds up having a public meltdown and there's a body positivity song with Patty and Selma in bikinis
>Meanwhile Bart works out in a gym
It was fricking awful but unintentionally hilarious that Bart just started working out and had no real problems. Also frick the Lizzo episode too. I think we'll get to a point where Lisa Goes Gaga won't be the worst eventually.
>patty and selma in bikinis
high test
>Also frick the Lizzo episode too
I actually watched that crap, glutton for punishment that I am.
>It was Marge, b***h!
>body positivity
Only for the women though right?
>the lizzo episode
that sounds like it aged well. What happened in it?
i havent watch this shit show in years
is there a troony character yet?
Helen Lovejoy's cousin, but he doesn't have any lines. It's an episode where Marge finds Grampa's old wrestling unitard and us happy, because she mistakenly thinks Grampa is a transvestite and wants to prove she's more tolerant than Helen.
There's also a future episode that implies Martin Prince eventually becomes "Marsha Princess "
The elon musk episode made me want to smash the TV. I can't believe how many used and still do suck the wiener of that narcissistic imbecile
