Bart hates art class so he learns Haitian voodoo and curses his art teacher with sickness but messes up and makes her pregnant instead. He becomes a hero to the town for his ability to make people pregnant, so the mob kidnaps him to force him to participate in a thoroughbred horse breeding program. I think the B-plot was "homer drinks beer"
I vaguely remember that it was an episode where Homer got a personal coach because he wanted a private plane or some shit. I googled it, and I'm pretty sure that it was He Loves to Fly and He D'ohs, which according to wikipedia was the first episode of season 19.
Out of inertia, mostly. Maybe also because of the hype for the movie. I've seen that the episode I mentioned was the first episode after the movie, it makes sense, it probably was a great moment to fully realize how fricking bad the show had become.

I've been watching random episodes with Korean subtitles and it doesn't organize by name or date so you get random episodes. The stark contrast between early Simpsons and modern Simpsons is day and night.
I think it was really more when I stopped watching TV in general in favor of streaming but I still keep up with Bob's Burgers and Great North. I was even more eager to see the new Bless The Harts and American Dad (American Dad not being synced and cross-promoted with the other Fox shows hurts their Simpsons marketing, I'm 100% positive of it).
As far as what brand new episode I watched and had a "Frick this show" reaction? The earliest one I can think of right off the cuff is that one where the girl makes Bart think he got her pregnant but I might just have that one locked and loaded because of the first post in this thread. Let me look at some season summaries....
>Season 11, still many great episodes none bad enough to be dropworthy >Season 12, main cast showing hints of radical characterization but still written as laughable/comical >Season 13, peak episodes better than 12. Wolfcastle's Daughter episode offends me but Buck McCoy episode following gets me back on Bart Train >Season 14, "Zombie" episodes begin to be more formulaic than self-referential, Marge's boobs followed quickly by Marge's muscles is kind of whiplash inducing, Bart getting emancipated and hanging out with Tony Hawk (which I believe was a special XXXth episode?) is pretty soulless but doesn't personally hurt me, Season finale is that weird ass episode about Moe bonding with Maggie >Season 15, this is it. The season that made me stop "keeping up".
It's not so much that there's one offensive episode just that every single episode is at the very least a zombie feeling episode and most of them are bad and unfortunately front loaded. If I had to point to one it would be that one where Lisa is like Evita. Whew that's a bad one and perhaps the earliest episode I would actively turn off if it came on my TV.
I stopped watching cable. The Simpsons for a while was just something I would watch if it was on and I was channel surfing and bored, but I never actively searched for it.
I actually very clearly remember that it was Simpson Safari in Season 12 and it made me quit cold turkey. It wasn't even how ridiculous and over the top it was, unlike some people I didn't mind those eps in themselves.
It was just one of a string of episodes that was clunky and genuinely meandering with more misses than hits for me joke wise that made me realize that for me, Classic Simpsons was over. I went from catching it every time to never watching for a long time. I have gone back since and there are good episodes after Season 12, I just think sometime around there it stops being so reliable I knew I would find it amazing every time.
Okay I will give you that I clearly remember being left with a very similar reaction to that episode. That one gag where the carnivorous plant eats Homer and then he just opens it like a door and walks out, "How did you do that?!" "It's a PLANT" kind of saves that whole episode for me though. Also I often am reminded of the end of the Stampy episode "Well Bart, like people - some elephants are just jerks... Please stop that, Mr Simpson" when I think about that safari episode. I think my brain developed on such a constant supplement of Golden Simpsons that it does auto-edits.
By 2007 I was already waining from keeping up with the show regularly, and had more or less shifted all my entertainment needs to the internet, but the last episode I remember watching before ditching the show entirely was the one that was just a huge promo for the show 24.
It was the same for me. By 2007, I stopped watching the Simpsons altogether and watched more of Family Guy, Futurama, American Dad, and later on King of the Hill, as well as non-Fox shows like South Park, Beavis & Butthead, Aqua Teen or Robot Chicken. I've realized that there were way better alternatives to watching adult animation during that decade up until the early-2010s.
The one were they go to Italy and meet with sideshow Bob, not a single joke in the whole episode made me smile but I seriously hated the cheeses name droping, how the fuk is that funny?
Homer gets really into cryptocurrency and buys all the GPUs in Springfield. This causes prices to rise which upsets the nerds. The nerds try to sabotage Homers mining operation.
Meanwhile in the B plot, Moe struggles with his new cellphone and ultimately returns to his old landline phone. Mr Burns owns the only company that offers that service now and he laughs evily at Moe having to pay inflated prices for his telephone service.
The couch gag was animated by Jacques Fontaine, indie animator known for his uniquely depressing art style. At the end of the episode, we find out it was in memory of one of the writer's grandma, who passed away during its production.
The episode received generally negative reception by both fans and critics.
No episode specifically. I always watched random episodes on TV or whatever I could rent on DVD from the local library. Ultimately I decided on my own that nothing after Season 9 was worth watching.
The one where Bart got his teacher pregnant.
What
Bart hates art class so he learns Haitian voodoo and curses his art teacher with sickness but messes up and makes her pregnant instead. He becomes a hero to the town for his ability to make people pregnant, so the mob kidnaps him to force him to participate in a thoroughbred horse breeding program. I think the B-plot was "homer drinks beer"
> I think the B-plot was "homer drinks beer"
Wrong, the B-plot in that episode was "Homer Simpson creampies his own butthole"
>google
>its fricking real
You think I would remember it?
i got so fricking angry when Milhouses parents got back together i consider it non cannon
The one where Lisa kills cats for half an hour
The first one where the whole plot is jerking off some hollywood c**ts.
Awful episode, really terrible. And the final joke with Ron Howard is fricking overrated as frick (at least in the country I live)
I vaguely remember that it was an episode where Homer got a personal coach because he wanted a private plane or some shit. I googled it, and I'm pretty sure that it was He Loves to Fly and He D'ohs, which according to wikipedia was the first episode of season 19.
How the frick did you keep watching The Simpsons well into 2007?
Out of inertia, mostly. Maybe also because of the hype for the movie. I've seen that the episode I mentioned was the first episode after the movie, it makes sense, it probably was a great moment to fully realize how fricking bad the show had become.
The fact that it was past its prime before I was born.
For reference, season 9 premiered on my birthday
that's the scariest part about the Simpsons...
it's been utter garbage for more than 20 years but somehow it keeps on getting new seasons

the lonely stoner seems to free his mind at night
he’s all alone, some things will never change (never change)

Dial N for Nerder.
I always remember the name, just found it really boring.
By the time I focused more on watching King of the Hill, Futurama, American Dad and, sometimes, either Bob's Burgers or Family Guy

I do like the plagiarism joke which led to Marge getting raped by Quagmire.
