I think the first episode I noticed jerk-rear end Homer as a kid was the one where Abe's kidney burst. There's a joke in the Wild West video where an alcoholic makes a fool of himself and Homer laughs at something serious he said. The drunk then falls into a water bin and drowns in front of a crowd that does nothing. Then Homer basically almost kills his dead so he can catch In the Actor's Studio. Even as a kid, I really started to hate Homer after that one.

The one question I want answered is who is watching this show? I’ve never met anyone who still watches the Simpsons. Who are the current Simpsons viewers and where do they come from?

They spring from the soil for 22 minutes at a time to watch the new episodes and disintegrate away as soon as it concludes thanks to dark arts down at Fox to keep up ratings. Alternatively, I think it's just evolved into lazy viewing where people just have it on just to have something on, the closest thing to a passionate Simpsons watcher I've seen in like a decade now is either bitter fans hatewatching it like the zombie Simpsons guy or desperate fans effectively going 'It's still good! It's still good!' like some of the Simpsons podcasts.

I'm convinced Fox just keeps it around to keep their merchandise and licensed theme park attractions relevant. The only people viewing it are probably the ones watching the other shows in the animated line-up and figure "why not?".

I have two friends who insist on steaming every new episode and swear that they still enjoy it. But any time they put it on they stare at their phones the whole time. So that is who “watches” it.

I thought it was just them trying to condence an episode down enough to fit more car commercials. The last segment was interesting but the whole thing was just awful. There were a few jokes that were good but then we're burried under yelling or a reference to a previous episode or some other sight gag. I'm hoping there exists some super fan similar to the actor who plays Eric from that 70s Show who does some Star Wars prequel super edit of the entire series from season 13 to the end where they make good episodes out of all the bad ones. Could probably make like 3 good seasons of just the best plot elements and jokes. Especially seeing how they reuse a lot of the plots.

Pretty sure it was him. He took the entire prequel trilogy and cut it down into one solid prequel movie and showed it to his friends. Still waiting for it to be leaked since I'm really interested in it. If it's not him then the magic is broken since having the actor who plays Eric be an equally nerdy Star Wars fan in real life is magical to me. Similar to how conspiracy theorist Steve's actor is a Scientologist because of Laura Prepon.

fatal oopsie-daisy posted:Topher Grace makes Star Wars fan edits? Yeah, he does editing for fun. There was a thing a while back about how he got depressed while filming BlackkKlansman because he was playing David Duke and regularly had to say horribly racist things. So to cheer himself up he edited the Hobbit trilogy into one much shorter movie.

emgeejay posted:No, it seems to be the whole Halloween episode condensed to 13 minutes of “highlights” Yeah, but the pacing is pretty bad in episodes anyway. Actors talk slower and are having trouble with their voices (see earlier Marge clip) and there's more pauses between lines. There's also a ton of "oops I forgot to tell a joke" where any sort of writing is broken up with lots of monkeycheese (I catch an episode every once in a while, and tons of Homer's lines are random humor nonsense). A Goon linked this in another thread and Carl's Gecko line a little example of the bad punch-up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87lDaaTgX5Q I just want to know if someone wanted to do that Gecko line and ended up writing an entire episode around it.

That Homer eating himself segment is probably the most disturbing Treehouse segment they’ve ever done. If only it was funny too.
