Yeah, it's kind of like at the end of "Behind the Laughter" where they just throw out off-hand that Springfield is in Northern Kentucky.

Data Graham posted:What I always have to remind myself is that when the Simpsons debuted it was a cartoon. A prime-time cartoon for grown-ups, but a cartoon. I'm having trouble thinking of much of anything from season 2 that fits this description, other than "Bart the Daredevil" with Truckasaurus and Homer failing to jump the gorge, which works precisely because it's a parody of classic cartoons and, in a subversive twist, Homer gets graphically injured and hospitalized.

Lmao at "Grade School Confidential", where the very idea of someone admitting to being a virgin at 43 years old was so unthinkable that it forms the basis for total exoneration. Now we have incels and volcels

The Olympics have reminded me that there was an episode where Homer and Marge start curling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUP8lFwpN7E Marge is really good at it because of broom-sweeping muscles and they go to the Olympics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffUcVd7eNpo

They don't bother filling the background with as many extras anymore, so you might see random B teamers in the background. Why design a whole new character when you can just put Apu in there? Oh yeah, because it's distracting.

Watch the first two seasons it's delightful how funny the background characters look, since they're all essentially Bart but with longer hair or Homer but drawn with the left hand

There’s an app you can also watch it on called fxnow which has every episode. They make you watch commercials, but if you are quick enough you can skip past them. I’ve been watching the original seasons and I’m amazed at just how much heart were in those episodes. Though anyone that said homer was never that dumb is really wrong.

I have no qualms admitting I’ve teared up at several episodes. Homer and the kids having true genuine moments is some great poo poo. Also, as someone who only remembers new Lisa, holy poo poo was her character just completely destroyed.

Martman posted:My view is that he became more psychotic and aggressively villainous at arbitrary times, whether or not he actually became dumber. In the old days he was just basically a nice guy who was incredibly vulnerable to just about every possible vice. He did bad things because he was tempted incredibly easily, and could be tricked into almost anything. As it went on it seems like they stopped coming up with outside reasons and just made Homer weirdly manic on top of all that so he just started doing insane and stupid stuff for absolutely no reason except to be wacky and obnoxious. it's this exactly

The last time I voluntarily watched new Simpsons was when I watched a couple of random episodes from whatever season was newest at the time. 24, I think. In one episode, Lisa met a celebrity guest star who was down on their luck, but Lisa's recognition of their talent inspired and reinvigorated them. With her support, they got their career back together, and started touring the US with Lisa in tow. Marge was wary that Lisa was just gonna end up getting hurt, but Lisa insisted on ditching whatever her current responsibilities were and going on the tour. Eventually the celebrity guest star got sick of Lisa and gradually pushed her out of the spotlight, until the final confrontation where it's revealed that celebrities aren't great people and shouldn't be your role models. Lisa realizes Marge is the most inspiring woman in her life and she goes back to Springfield and the two reconcile.

I wanna say they both were some kind of jazz/cabaret musician, but I honestly don't remember. I'm sure there are many worse episodes out there, but that was the day I realized the Simpsons were well and truly dead.

For me it's when there was a badger in the dog kennel. Bart and Lisa tell Homer there's a badger in the dog kennel and Homer disbelieves them believing it's probably just Milhouse so they force Homer into some comedy violence against him. I noticed they kept on doing that, coming up with really convoluted reasons for Homer to do so physical comedy and just having Homer just scream a whole bunch, instead of y'know writing jokes. Maybe it's just me but I don't think physical comedy of that nature really works all that well in cartoons, or maybe it does and it was just crap in the Simpsons. But yeah, the badger in the dog kennel was round the time I started noticing that the Simpsons wasn't really the same anymore. Also when the tv announcer started referring the Simpsons as Homer and the Simpsons.
