He did lead to a whole planet being infested to the point of needing to change universes. His daughter also only wants his attention because he caused her abandonment issues. The planet also couldn't stand him because he brings the worst out of him. He's infallible when it comes to adventures since he goes on so many of them but when it comes to interpersonal relationships he fails at a basic fundamental level.

Bust Rodd posted:Rick & Morty is popular because Futurama was the only Sci-Fi comedy on TV for like 10 years and it was originally set for family appeal, which is why the movies and late seasons come off as edgy or cringey, because they started writing toward mature audiences. The Big Bang Theory doesn't treat you like anything.

ok anyway I just remembered anotehr low point of the simpsons that caused my younger self to clue in "yeah this is becoming poo poo" The one where grandpa got a girlfriend who was just using him to drive her around places. He crashes his car and she leaves him for someone else, then it ends with him and Bart going to Branson to tell her off

Look, the way to judge quality of a show or movie is to watch it and see if you can identify any keyword on tvtropes or cultural buzzword (i.e. "Mary Sue", "Manic Pixie Dream Girl") If you found one, smugly point it out. Congrats you are now smarter than the show, and have "leveled up" in intellectual & cultural points!!!

This thread about Simpsons is now about people getting mad about things other people do or don't like and calling each other retarded. I'm sure that's some kind of commentary but much like the Simpsons, I don't care enough to give it more thought.

54 40 or gently caress posted:This talk makes me think of Moral Orel which I hated at first because it seemed lame but holy poo poo it gets incredibly dark by the last season That show was insane. It's not something I would go back and watch again, but it stands out to me as a work of authentic modern art. The way in spirals out of control combined with the political and religious messaging were mind blowing and you really didn't see it coming from the first episodes.

I just like Rick and Morty because it's got rapid-fire timing, creative visuals and episode concepts, inventive musical bits, rips on a wide variety of sci-fi and movie tropes, and some perceptive observations about disfunctional relationships. And it's funny.

the episode name tonight is "22 for 30" and here's the descriptionquote:In this parody of a cable sports show, Bart goes from delinquent with detention to the star basketball player at Springfield Elementary. Lisa covers Bart's success for the school paper, and Homer becomes the team’s coach. Things go awry when Bart gets involved with the mafia.

Ralph Hurley posted:Frank Grimes had what I thought was a kind of cool, easily missed character quirk where he nervously wiped his sweaty hand on his pants before shaking hands with someone. He did it at least twice in the episode and it was never acknowledged. One of my favorite things about the episode is how the entire B-story of Bart getting a dilapidated building from a city auction sets up a perfect throwaway line when Grimey comes to dinner. There really wasn't anything in Simpsons canon to that point to make anyone jealous of having Bart as a kid, but that side story let Homer throw in that his son "owns a factory downtown" in his haste to make himself look good. It's just one of many things that contributes to Grimey's meltdown, but that scene doesn't work nearly as well if he has to lie about or gloss over Bart. Homer needed to be sincere yet have zero self-awareness to really (unknowingly) twist the knife. I'd like to think that whole Bart story was crafted just for that one joke, even if the truth is more along the lines of "Well I just copied the Bart stories we already have and added this abandoned building to lower wind resistance, and I feel this Milhouse gag is pretty sharp," "Agreed first prize!" Sometimes to make the best episodes, you have to be a little lucky.

I dunno what that other synopsis was, but the episode tonight picked up directly after Kamp Krusty, with the kids coming home to therapy for their trauma. Also, Homer becomes volcel. I think the people from Masters of Sex were the guest stars or maybe they were just making fun of them. Their voices aren't distinctive enough to tell. It was ... not good but not an atrocity.
