there's more animation in that 5 minutes than a season of the more recent stuff.

Why is everyone talking about the gay horse episode without mentioning that the reason bart has to fix a gay horse is because everyone thinks he got his art teacher pregnant?

Sunday: The plot follows Homer losing his fingers after an accident while holding fireworks. Behind on his work and threatened with the possibility of dismissal, he asks Marge to catch up on his work for him, to which she agrees. However, he repeatedly attempts to seduce her, eventually succeeding, distracting her from the work. Meanwhile, Bart begins dating a girl named Julia who, much to Lisa's delight, lacks general knowledge and intelligence.

I’m remembering the one joke where it’s like a movie trailer about a soccer mummy and at one point they say “oh no, he’s getting a boner!” And then you hear a ripping, and as a kid I felt it was the first time that I felt like a joke really didn’t fit within the general feel of the show and i found it more gross than funny

well why not posted:The Simpsons currently looks like they took the original busted-looking but charming Klasky Csupo poo poo the first few seasons was on, and then squished it into the same software that Family Guy uses. I hear poo poo like this a lot, do people really think the Simpsons animation is all CGI? It's pretty obviously still hand drawn, just on Wacom cintiq touchscreens instead of paper. But it still looks like poo poo compared to the old episodes. Edit: Okay that dancing horse was definitely 3D rendered. Monday_ fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Oct 21, 2017 |

well why not posted:I don't think I'd call Family Guy's animation particularly lazy, they do go to pretty extreme lengths when they do their action sequences. When it's just two people talking, yeah, there's not a lot going on, but it's no worse than any other show. The highs are higher. I hate the show, but it's animation isn't that bad. i don't really like the look of archer, but they really nailed the style they were working towards conversely that horse literally looks like something out of family guy. that's not even a positive or negative statement, it just looks like something copypasted out of a family guy episode

cool new Polack jokes posted:There was always a limited degree of sexual innuendo but when they started saying wang and wiener all subtlety had vanished For me I think it was whatever episode where Bart says something about a medical issue making his testicles gigantic and it turns out it’s oranges and marge just puts them in his and Lisa’s lunch bags. I remember being like 11 or 12 and thinking it was kind of weird they would have bart specifically talk about his testicles

well why not posted:Weirdly Archer has probably 1/6 the budget per episode (A Family Guy episode costs $2m) but looks so much better. The creators definitely know how to work around their limits, and at least early on, it looks slicker and slicker by the episode. Once they get the hang of their tools and limitations the show starts to look pretty good. It feels like they actually bother to storyboard that show, and it helps.

You know I've waded through some of the S10-13 trash recently and it just shows how far the current version has fallen, but it sort of almost resembled the Simpsons as I remembered it better than I expected. I mean it's super lazy, but the recent stuff feels like they make it to spite you.

The thing to remember about seasons 10 - 15 is that the decline was pretty slow and even bad episodes will still have some pretty decent jokes. Good episodes just got rarer and rarer until the series fell into its current state.

why the gently caress is bart dating girls on the regular? even when you factor in the seasons when it slowly declined into what it is now, i can only think of two times where that was a plot point: the season 6 episode where he falls for Rev. Lovejoy's daughter, and the episode where he falls for some girl and the episode ends with them in canada. he was strictly anti-girls

Bart dating girls would make sense if they had aged the characters, but they didn't so it doesn't.

One where he was pretending to be someone’s baby daddy. It’d make sense if they’d aged him to 16 or so, but he’s ten.

To be fair, none of the kid characters ever really acted age-appropriate. That would not be very interesting. I liked the Simpsons in the 90s. Sometimes you have to ask yourself if something really changed that much or if it's just you with age. This thread inspired me to watch a few old episodes and I wouldn't consider all of them exactly timeless classics either. It's a funny show on TV, not sure what one can expect. That being said, some things mentioned here really sound painful. If I'd be one of the voice actors I'd quit and finally enjoy retirement. You can't tell me they need the money for anything. I'd wager a guess and say it just belongs to their routine now and they don't really want to be retired.

Good episodes just got rarer and rarer until the series fell into its current state. The decline wasn't slow at all... there's a pretty significant nosedive in the transition from season 8 to 9. 10 is worse than 9, 11 is worse than 10, and Season 12 is where most fans at the time decided to stop making a point to watch new episodes.

Police Automaton posted:To be fair, none of the kid characters ever really acted age-appropriate. That would not be very interesting. Almost every single episode from seasons 2-8 (8's a little shaky) is either a stone cold classic comedy or at least has 5-6 absolutely brilliant jokes. I don't think any other television show at that level of output comes close frankly.

This is true. 11 is the last season I own and 12 was the point that in real time we consciously stopped recording them/making an effort to watch them as a family. There was just too much secondary embarrassment as we all watched something we once really liked turn to poo poo and none of us wanted to be associated with it anymore.
