ill take your word for it

Very simple plot. Marge coming to terms with Bart growing up, trying to cling onto the last year or so that she can treat him like a boy. Basically a solid 7/10 Simpsons episode circa 1997.
I'm tempted to watch it.
Except he never is going to grow up. Rings pretty hollow.
It makes it come off less like a genuine attempt at a good episode, and more like the writers flat-out forgetting where they are and what they're writing for
Wow! Look at that SOVLFUL animation. And the jokes are as good as ever. The Simpsons are back!
I don't even care about this show but your comment reeks of desperation of an unfunny unoriginal homosexual.
This episode has any /ss/ moment?
hope you aren't british
I don't know what /ss/ is but judging from the photo:
There is a moment where Marge holds is removing a splinter from Bart's hand. She says "When did your hands get bigger than mine? I can't remember the last time we held hands."
At the end of the episode Bart does a prank photo where he holds two large bouncy balls in front of his ass to make it look like he has a giant ass. Marge loves it and admires Bart's crack.
Both are poor, since Marge sounds like an octogenarian.
/SS/ means straight shota. Himmler formed a group based on this concept
sounds gay, also Marge already did when Bart stole that video game
Don't have a cow man
why are the clouds at that angle?
>bart turns into an NFT
This is beyond sad
Remember the old chart of how dead a meme where eventually it makes it to the evening news? Now the Simpsons are the last stop.
A silence of the fricking lambs reference? In 2023?
nfts came ans went so quickly
Aren't those tired/bored monkey ones essentially worth less than toilet paper now? So much for a sound ""art"" investment.
They're still selling for around $40,000 believe it or not. Down from almost ten times that but some jeets still haven't got the message yet.
a few nfts probably have some value, but 99% of them are basically worthless now
Right, I was just talking about BAYC specifically. All of the million clones sell for almost nothing.
zoomers on youtube already fooled me when they said that the previous season was actually decent when it's just as bad as ever
Who the frick watches this show? It hasn't been culturally relevant in 20 years, millennials don't care about it, zoomers don't know what it is, boomers think it's degenerate. Is it just suicidal Gen Xers?
I mean, I didn't catch the peak years, started watching after playing Hit & Run and stopped around the time of the movie coming out. So I'll check out a newer episode after the fact if I've heard good things about it. I don't have the attachment to the earlier seasons, other than seeing them reran as a kid.
My boomer dad who watches nuTrek and Big Bang Theory sometimes watches new episodes but I haven’t seen him watch one in about a year. He also watches nuFuturama. Used to watch day-of but now just watches when he’s bored. Man refuses to admit everything is shit now and he’s psyched for Fraiser.
Even though I point out how I sat with him through a Futurama episode and clocked a single audible chuckle, whereas watching a Malcolm in the Middle together he was in stitches the whole way through. MSM induced brain dissonance is a helluva drug.
I'm 41 and the latest Futurama got some proper laughs out of me, until that weird pixel episode which I'm completely baffled at. Nothing in the same league as SImpsons 1-10 and MitM though, I'll concede.
Boomers didn't grow up with media that was as overtly subversive and propogandistic so they're much more blind to it.
It's kinda weird how Futurama now has three revivals and four different "series finales" when the show ended in a good note with the original run. They keep dragging that show on and on for no reason even though The Simpsons is a good example of why they should have stopped at some point.
I had no idea Futurama was even rebooted again. It was never a laughing my fricking ass off until airlifted to a trauma center type of series to me, more of just comfy and amusing. How bad is it?
the kind of people who buy frozen premade dinners and live in doublewide trailers, quote Adam Sandler movies daily and make fast food review videos on youtube. There are way more of those people than you think.

Holy based
In a way I'm a little jealous, they're always happy except for the rare moments of clarity when they realize something is wrong but they can't seem to figure out what it is.
Don't give a shit about the so sad and emotional episodes, it's low hanging fruit. Can they try writing a good actually funny episode.
Episode number (so I can torrent it) thanks.
Second
One day a few years from now this show will end and we can all agree how it should have done so 15 years ago easily
more like 25
I'm half way through it now, it's dogshit. OP is a liar
To each their own. I thought it was good.
Ya, not to each their own. You have terrible taste and no understanding of story. It should have been obvious to me since you're still watching The Simpson in 2023. Don't recommend anything to anyone ever again.
Explain why it is good, specifically.
Explain why it is bad, specifically.
>Explain why it is bad, specifically.
Everybody sounds like they're 80
Negative comedic timing (explaining the joke to your audience; jokes with multiple, middling punchlines etc.)
Celebrity shows up with nothing funny to say or do
Streeeetching everything out just to eat up time
Everybody acts like a cartoony jerkass for 20 minutes until the episode needs a sappy ending where everybody acts maudlin and the characters learn the same "emotional lesson" they have for the past 35 fricking years.
Didn't watch the episode, but I'm sure it's some combination thereof
It's 6 or 7 dream sequences which just repeat things that were already established in the first minute. There's no development for about 16 minutes after that but we get more dream sequences repeating the problem we already know. Since it's a lucid dream, Marge just says what's worrying her. At one point she even says "I don't need symbolism, I can just say how I feel." Which she does for the rest of the episode.
The stakes are pretty low, since most of it is Marge's dreams while sick. And at the end of the episode, Marge's lesson is that Bart's childhood is not over. Coming to terms with the reality that childhoods do eventually end is brushed aside.
>characters narrating exactly what they are doing or feeling to the audience
THIS bullshit is a big part of what makes the current show so unwatchable.
Oh yea, that does sound pretty bad. Thank you for the response.
Imagine being a simpsons market researcher and scouring a mongolian fingerpainting board for data
imagine elaborating on an opinion more than "it's good" or "it's shit"
Cool, still not watching it.
I dont believe you and Im still not going to watch it to verify.
It's a shame that it's been shit for 20 years. They should have cancelled the show back then.
It's the TV series version of Robert De Niro's career. Great early stuff, but watered down with shit after that.
DUNK!?
DON'T MIND IF I DO
No it didn't
If you are still watching the Simpsons regularly there is something broken inside of you.
>If you are still posting on Cinemaphile regularly there is something broken inside of you
>Make bart have no redeemable characteristics
>She still prefers bart despite that
I fixed the episode
>write an episode about growing up in a show where nobody ages
>nobody has aged in so long that Grandpa is a Vietnam vet instead of WW2 now and Homer grew up in the 80s/90s
I don't believe you.
I guess AI saved the Simsons
Show was never good
One of the worst shows ever at its peak.
So you've been watching trash for 15 years waiting for an episode to be "good". Opinion discarded
is sneedposting making a comeback?
he need some feed
"Modern Simpsons is pretty funny" - Mike Stoklasa
mmm marge ass
looks so souless
The animation and colouring combined with the voice actors starting to sound awful means that no matter how good the script is it'll still never match up to 90s era
Zombie Simpsons usually has 1 good episode per season and 2-4 additional watchable episodes. It's just not worth digging for gold in the age of infinite content.
