Hedenius posted:The most baffling thing about the movie is that they've spent years and years on the show with Rainier Wolfcastle as the Simpsons version of Arnold Schwarzenegger. And in the movie they just straight up call him Schwarzenegger instead. They didn't want any callbacks whatsoever to any previous episode (this baffles me  ) but it would have been better with Al Brooks being Hank Scorpio and Schwarzenegger being Rainier Wolfcastle.

The movie was alright I guess, but Hank Scorpio would have saved it. Al Brooks could have just improvised better scenes for like half the movie.

The movie should have just been ad-libs outtakes and deleted scenes from the first 10 years a la 138th Episode Spectacular

The entire joke for Hank Scorpio was that he was a Bond villain who genuinely liked and appreciated Homer and that wouldn't have worked in the movie

Aesop Poprock posted:so they probably had us beat honestly its not like SA and reddit are distinct, separate groups of people. probably plenty of nerds post the same poo poo on both sites as well as in various Simpsons FB groups etc especially since capturing funny freeze frames was a thing before any of these sites existed. some of this poo poo has been floating around since usenet days and probably comes from that first huge pre-wikipedia Simpsons archive site Drink-Mix Man posted:I wonder if it's even possible to get a good ridiculous non-contextual funny-face screen shot from the show any more.

The episode where they found the angel skeleton was the first time I ever started going "Uhhh, that wasnt that great". Its not the point where I stopped liking the show but its definitely one of the first times I ever started not being 100% on board

The thing I heard was that he really didn't get the joke with his character leaving the answering machine message and they had to pretend that Marge was actually talking to him to get him to record the lines.

I also liked how they made Arnold a character because they thought the movie audience was too stupid to know who their own Arnold parody character is. Also isn't it wacky that this guy could be president? Joke was just lame then, now it's depressing as gently caress too.

When a woman slipped Homer some drugs so she could have sex with him (because all the ladies want to get with a fat middle-aged bald dude, amirite?) and everybody in the episode (including Homer) acted like it was consensual on both sides and therefore Homer was to blame for cheating on Marge. That was rape! It's not his fault, it's that other lady's fault for raping him! And soon after he leaves Marge for his rapist and then there's some more soap-opera bullshit and it turns out the entire episode was a dream of Hannah Horvath's (Lena Dunham's character from Girls - she voiced the other woman). But it's the rape that clinches it.

people talk a lot of poo poo about that episode, but you don't always hear that they resorted to an "IT WAS ALL A DREAM" ending, which is one of the hackiest ways to end something

It was like one of the comedic x-files episodes but really didn't seem to fit the simpsons at all Season 9 overall was when I first started wondering what the gently caress the show was doing. A lot of weird, not funny, misfires. It started with such promise, too. "The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson" was an instant classic. No surprise the first 3 episodes were all produced by Al Jean and those were the best ones of the season.

you'd be hearing more about Das Boat, or Lisa the Simpson, or the angel skeleton episode as being the start of the simpsons' decline if one of them switched their debut date with The Principal and the Pauper. i think the reason that episode gets a bad rap was because it debuted before all of the very flawed episodes, so it gets all the heat
