get that OUT of my face posted:what episode debuted on 11/11/2001? "The Parent Rap," wherein Bart and Homer are sentenced by a Judge Judy knockoff to be tethered together It more or less marks the beginning of the "throwaway gag that gets stretched to an entire episode" phenomenon. Well, not really. But it was the premiere of the first season without ANY good episodes.

The only thing I remember about the movie is Marge saying god drat (I don't even remember the context of this scene) and the Bart dick scene.

The best line in the movie was when homer was trying to hold up some truck's progress by making a lovely yield sign that said "Yeld" and the guy riding shotgun in the truck chides the driver for obeying all the "yeld, sop and one vay signs"

You Are A Elf posted:I said the same thing earlier in the thread. Paul and Linda McCartney were just chilling on the rooftop of the Kwik-E-Mart... why? Because Lisa needed her lovely newfound opinion to be validated by a vegetarian celebrity. It may have been the very first "WOW, IT'S [CELEBRITY CALLED OUT BY FULL NAME]! MAYBE THEY CAN HELP!" moment that started it all. 1. there really weren't a whole lot of those moments in the classic era 2. the entire plot of those episodes didn't revolve around Magic Johnson or Paul McCartney, they were just minor parts of the story 3. those episodes were good the first time they had an episode where guest stars were part of the plot for no real reason was the season 10 episode with Alec Baldwin and Kim Bassinger. it only got worse after that Not a Children posted:"The Parent Rap," wherein Bart and Homer are sentenced by a Judge Judy knockoff to be tethered together get that OUT of my face fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Jul 18, 2017 |

get that OUT of my face posted:there are three differences between that moment and the one in season 3 where Homer gets a call from Magic Johnson for no reason, though: Those early nonsense celebrity cameos were actually kind of funny at the time because they were kind of unexpected non-sequiturs that still advanced the plot forward. Like everything else, though, repetition made them formulaic, the gag got stale, but they still kept doing it forgetting why it was funny in the first place.

The only things I remember about the movie were, Spider Pig, which was just bad non-sequitur garbage made worse by the endless running's it had in the trailers they played on TV and Springfield was encased in a dome or something and it was homers fault and he saves the day. That's all I remember, well that and being baffled as to why anyone said it was as good as an old Simpsons episode, like really what about it was good?

get that OUT of my face posted:imo those got terrible a few years past the golden years too. the turning point for me was the treehouse of horror with "The Island of Dr. Hibbert" and the one where zombies come to life after Springfield gets rid of all its guns. i think that also had the story with the hammock that cloned homer. regardless i watched one or two more treehouse of horrors after that before giving up completely on new Simpsons eps The one with the dolphins is the definitive turning point of the Halloween episodes being crap

54 40 or gently caress posted:And unnecessary, unfunny gay jokes. At least two in the first 30 mins This is such an obvious, cheap thing that The Simpsons has done for a while now, and it seems so at odds with other episodes. Maybe that disjointed feeling is from the way the writers are now? I don't know. Either way, it feels extremely lazy. Like, there's the episode earlier on (can't remember the name) with John Waters guest starring, where he's Homer's friend, and Homer doesn't know he's gay. They do some relatively inoffensive jokes about gay stereotypes, most of the episode actually feels quite in favour of camp-ness, with the focus and character arc being Homer dealing with some ignorant homophobic feelings. It felt quite sincere, the character was flawed but he learned something about himself and his prejudices. At the end he quits worrying about if Bart is gay and realizes it doesn't matter or something iirc. I'm not bitching about this because I'm offended or anything, more just confused. I recently saw an episode from a much later season, that's probably still like 10 years old now, that felt way more ignorant and backwards than previous episodes dealing with the same subject. No idea what the episode was, but it was something about Lisa dressing up as a guy for some reason. It had a joke with Marge referring to her own daughter as a "he-she", and Nelson laughing at Principal Skinner for wearing drag or something and straight up calling him "a tranny".  It loving blew my mind, it felt like such a simple, dipshit Family Guy joke. Not for the language use or anything but the laziness of the entire punchline just being "haha, that person is different!" Maybe the end of the episode had a moral that was similar to the John Waters one, not sure, I turned it off after like ten minutes because it was really loving unfunny. It just seemed really out of place compared to even other way later episodes, like when Patty or Selma (can't remember which one), came out as a lesbian and Marge told her "just because you're a lesbian doesn't make you less of a bein'," a joke my mom still finds cute.  The tone was so completely different.

My sisters kids were watching it, my husband and I were in the room and when Bart's naked Ralph sees and is like "I like men now" and then in church Ned announces he has something to say and Homer has his fingers crossed saying "gay gay gay gay". Like what?

classic simpsons was cynical but also genuinely cared about its characters. it was never mean for no reason, nor was it too saccharine (outside of Marge Be Not Proud, which had a "very special episode" vibe to it). Lisa the Vegetarian and Homer's Phobia struck that balance very well today, it manages to be mean-spirited and way too treacly, no in between. also it's not funny

I don't think Marge Be Not Proud has a "very special episode" vibe because that trope would have been about how stealing is wrong and you should do the right thing. Marge barely cares that he stole, but her inner conflict is whether or not they failed him as parents and should give up on him. Later, he proves her wrong. A typical 90's sitcom would not have had this subversive aspect.

When I was like 5 I stole a slim Jim from a video store cause I didn't really know any better and my mom made me return it and apologize and I saw that episode like a year later and it made me feel really lovely

The thing I remember about the movie is that during the epic final motorcycle scene there's a cutaway to Martin getting revenge on the bullies, as if that was something fans desperately wanted to see.

Oh, the other thing about Marge Be Not Proud is it shows the bullies easily getting away with stealing over and over (although they are stealing useless crap), and the spoiled brat kid who demands and gets two copies of Bonestorm because he doesn't want to share (who's mom makes a comment about what bad parents Bart must have), Milhouse having it and bragging about it... it makes a point to show you why he would be driven toward stealing it and also that the other kids (besides Milhouse) are legit bad kids. It also has THRILLHO, Lee Carvello's Putting Challenge, Cat-fish? Homer's nonsensical rant about stealing posted above and later drawing a robot instead of writing down Bart's punishment... it isn't in any way a signifier of a decline in quality and I don't think anyone ever thought twice about it until that Zombie Simpsons article makes a big deal out of it for some reason.

Not only that but Marge comes off as being genuinely hurt by all of it. It's been a little while but I remember the episode having a darker tone to it, probably because it was nailing the feeling of Marge being at her wit's end when it comes to trying to raise Bart well. The other thing about it is that ends well, and it's an earned ending where Bart does learn the error of his ways and it doesn't feel forced.
