Sotar posted:I think the last Simpsons episode I watched and truly enjoyed was Homer to the Max whixh was in S12, otherwise there isn't any one episode that drove me pff, just the fact that there were less funny episodes over time until around S14 when I just gave up the ghost. That’s a John Swartzwelder episode so it has a massive leg up on whoever else was writing episodes at the time.

I feel that this video explains it best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqFNbCcyFkk In short, The Simpsons thrived due to it being a rebellious show. It came at the tail end of the family sitcom mania during the 1980s. But instead of being just another family sitcom that was merely animated, it instead lampooned on the beliefs and values of American society and the family structure. Remember, the show was very controversial at its time. The problem was that as time went on, The Simpsons no longer stood out, and even became tame. The series no longer fit in a world where cable television had become the norm. Thus the show could either change course of what it is or die. The Simpsons didn't really make a firm step into becoming something different, however at the same time stepped away from what it once was. That's why the show feels so hollow. For example of what happens when a show takes a more dignified route of change, look at South Park. It began as a show about dirty humor and light social commentary, and has over the years has more or less become a show focusing on political/social satire. May not be ideal to some, but at least that show is still relevant and enjoyed by many.

Lol I can't tell if this is a weak attempt to troll the thread, but dude I'd recommend just not responding with polite defenses. Goons are gonna be goons with that sort of thing. Anyway, because this thread has forced The Simpsons clips into my YouTube recommendations (and I'm too lazy to go through months of view history to select them and remove them individually) this video remix of Moe's "Funk Dancing for Self-Defense" class popped up in my recommendations under "Electronic Music" and I cannot get enough of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06OzHwkV3bA "Dissin' Your Flygirl 3.0 (Extended Moe Szyslak Shooting Stars Remaster)"

Homer loses his job at the Power Plant forever. Ned renews his pharmacist license and opens a drug store and hires Marge to work in it as a cashier/technician/stocker/something. Homer becomes a stay at home dad who sits at the computer all day watching videos. Eventually, Marge challenges him to DO SOMETHING if he's not going to cook or clean or anything, so he decides to create a Youtube channel where he gets a paltry 500 views a video but he's super excited by that number because to him that's like the whole world is watching him. While Marge works 40 hours a week, Homer spends more and more of his time putting on more and more highly produced videos that go completely unnoticed by the world but make him happy because he always gets those 500 views like clockwork. Turns out all those views are coming from his old SNPP coworkers who miss having him around all day and watch them to keep up on what he's doing. Mr. Burns is made aware of this former employee who has 500 people watching this man on a daily basis?! My God, think about Smithers! 500 People tune in every day to watch this man speak! Why, the video reels we make only get 5 views! He's a superstar! We've got to hire him back to do these videos for us! "But sir, we're in negotiations with George Clooney and Robert Downey Jr. to make videos for us." "Pft! Maybe you didn't see the TRIPLE DIGIT views this man is getting on HIS kinostrips on a daily basis! Get me Homer Simpson!"

If they had one room of guys making the jokes like they currently do and then another to punch it up it would be roughly on par, although they've made nearly every joke known to man. And make homer a flawed human being again instead of some super cool dude who doesn't give a gently caress.

I think the lowest point of the Simpsons will probably be sometime around 2029, when the SCU enters Phase 3 and we get Surly Duff and Cocoa Beanie origin movies.
